Abstract

Manifolds are shaped cross star having curved surfaces inside thereof, and holes are bored in four corners of the manifolds. In mounting a combustor to a casing, oil in the manifolds is transmitted to the holes by way of the curved surfaces. As a result of this, oil is prevented from staying, and coking is prevented from occurring, inside the manifolds.

Claims (19)

1. A combustor for a gas turbine comprising:

a nozzle pipe stand having a plurality of main nozzles around a pilot nozzle and mounted to a casing through a sleeved mounting flange;

a manifold that branches oil-fuel in an oil supply line to the main nozzles; and

a heat insulating portion disposed between the sleeved mounting flange and the manifold,

wherein said heat insulating portion comprises a closed air space.

2. A combustor for a gas turbine comprising:

a nozzle pipe stand having a plurality of main nozzles around a pilot nozzle and mounted to a casing;

a manifold that branches oil-fuel in an oil supply line to the main nozzles; and

a sleeved mounting flange, which holds the main nozzles and is joined to the nozzle pipe stand; and

a sleeve through which the pilot nozzle passes is joined to an end of the sleeved mounting flange with a closed air gap formed between said sleeve and said sleeved mounting flange.

3. A combustor for a gas turbine comprising:

a nozzle pipe stand having a plurality of main nozzles around a pilot nozzle and mounted to a casing through a sleeved mounting flange; and

a manifold having a plurality of holes bored on a first imaginary circle to branch oil-fuel in an oil supply line to the main nozzles, wherein the manifold has concave portions protruding inwardly.

4. The combustor according to claim 3 , wherein the manifold is mainly formed in a center side of the first circle than on straight lines that link the neighboring holes.

5. The combustor according to claim 3 , wherein the manifold is mountain shaped toward the center side of the first circle between the neighboring holes.

6. The combustor according to claim 3 , wherein the manifold is cross star shaped being formed by curved surfaces, and the holes are bored on four corners of the manifold.

7. The combustor according to claim 3 , wherein the manifold includes a circular space being formed in the nozzle pipe stand, inner surfaces of the manifold are curved.

8. The combustor according to claim 3 , further comprising a purging unit to purge inside the manifold.

9. The combustor according to claim 3 , further comprising a heat insulating portion in between the sleeved mounting flange and the manifold, wherein said heat insulating portion comprises a closed air space.
