Abstract
It is required for a gas turbine combustor to exhaust low NOx. The gas turbine combustor is provided with a combustion tube which has a cooling passage through which cooling air flows in a double wall structure. The cooling passage has a main cooling air supply opening opened to a side of a combustion zone. The cooling air supplied from the main cooling air supply opening is guided to a direction along an inner wall surface of the combustion tube by a guide. The cooling air flows through the cooling passage inside the combustion tube, and then is reused for film cooling along the inner wall surface. Thus, it is possible to save cooling air. Therefore, a more part of the air supplied from a compressor can be used as air for combustion and it becomes possible to exhaust low NOx.
