Abstract

A combustor for a gas turbine has an arrangement to form a layer of cooling-air on an inner surface of a liner of a combustion chamber. This layer of the cooling air extends from a fuel nozzle block of the combustor toward a downstream side with respect to the liner.

Claims (8)

1. A combustor for a gas turbine, comprising:

a liner;

a combustion chamber formed within the liner, the chamber having an opening at an upstream side thereof

a fuel nozzle block disposed within the opening of the chamber;

a ring for forming a cooling-air layer toward a downstream side with respect to the liner, wherein the ring is disposed between the liner and the fuel nozzle block with predetermined gaps for guiding the cooling-air toward the combustion chamber and forming the cooling-air layer on an inner surface of the liner; and a cooling-air supplying hole bored in the liner, wherein the hole is bored facing the ring;

wherein the ring is fixed to the inner surface of the liner at an upstream side of the cooling-air supplying hole.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising:
