Abstract
In a central portion of inner tube,of combustor,pilot fuel nozzle,and pilot cone,are arranged and main fuel nozzles,and main swirlers,therearound. Air intake portion (X-,) is provided with rectifier tube,for making air intake uniform. In air intake portion (X-,), air holes of appropriate number of pieces are provided in circumferential wall of the inner tube,In main swirler portion (X-,) and pilot cone portion (X-,), bolt joint of the main swirlers,is employed and optimized welded structure having less influence of thermal stress of the pilot swirler,is employed, respectively. Tail tube cooling portion (X-,) is provided with cooling structure having less influence of thermal stress to cool flange,portion of tail tube,uniformly. By the improvements in the portions (X-,) to (X-,), obstacles in attaining higher temperature in the combustor,is dissolved and combustor performance is enhanced.
