Abstract

An object is to provide a low cost gas turbine combustor. The gas turbine combustor has a plurality of main nozzles annularly supported on a nozzle pipe base ( 11 ), and the main nozzles each have an oil fuel path for supplying oil fuel and a gas fuel path for supplying gas fuel. A plurality of the oil fuel paths are provided to penetrate the nozzle pipe base ( 11 ), and a plurality of lengths of upright piping ( 21 ) are provided to be connected to the oil fuel paths, respectively, and be erected on the nozzle pipe base ( 11 ). A plurality of lengths of connection piping ( 22 ) for interconnecting the lengths of the upright piping ( 21 ) in a polygonal shape at a minimum distance are provided outside the nozzle pipe base ( 11 ). An oil fuel supply section ( 14 ) is connected to one of the lengths of the connection piping ( 22 ) to distribute oil fuel to each of the oil fuel paths.

Claims (12)

1. A gas turbine combustor having a plurality of main nozzles annularly supported on a nozzle pipe base, the main nozzles each having an oil fuel path for supplying oil fuel and a gas fuel path for supplying gas fuel,
