Gas turbine combustion burner
Provided is a gas turbine combustion burner capable of uniformly ejecting fuel from ejection holes for reduced NO x emissions of gas turbine combustors. The gas turbine combustion burner includes a plurality of swirling vanes ( 20 ) for ejecting fuel from fuel ejection holes ( 23, 24 ) into air or a mixture of air and fuel flowing from an upstream side while applying a swirling force to form a swirling mixed airflow and a nozzle ( 21 ) having the swirling vanes ( 20 ) arranged radially on an outer circumferential surface thereof and having a first fuel passage ( 26 ), through which the fuel is guided to the fuel ejection holes ( 23, 24 ), provided therein, a cavity ( 25 ) communicating with the fuel ejection holes ( 23, 24 ) is provided in each swirling vane ( 20 ), and at least two second fuel passages ( 27 ) are provided between the cavity ( 25 ) and the first fuel passage ( 26 ) along an axial direction.
1. A gas turbine combustion burner comprising a plurality of swirling vanes for ejecting fuel from fuel ejection holes into air or a mixture of air and fuel flowing from an upstream side while applying a swirling force to form a swirling mixed airflow and a nozzle having the swirling vanes arranged radially on an outer circumferential surface thereof and having a first fuel passage, through which the fuel is guided to the fuel ejection holes, is provided in the nozzle,
wherein a cavity communicating with the fuel ejection holes is provided in each swirling vane, and at least two second fuel passages are provided between the cavity and the first fuel passage along an axial direction, and wherein a nozzle tip of the nozzle having a closed end.
2. A gas turbine combustor comprising the gas turbine combustion according to claim 1 .
3. The gas turbine combustion burner according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle having a third fuel passage to provide fuel to fuel ejection holes provided near the nozzle tip of the nozzle.
4. A gas turbine combustor comprising the gas turbine combustion burner according to claim 3 .
5. A gas turbine combustion burner comprising a plurality of swirling vanes for ejecting fuel from fuel ejection holes into air or a mixture of air and fuel flowing from an upstream side while applying a swirling force to form a swirling mixed airflow and a nozzle having the swirling vanes arranged radially on an outer circumferential surface thereof and having a first fuel passage, through which the fuel is guided to the fuel ejection holes, is provided in the nozzle,
wherein a cavity communicating with the fuel ejection holes is provided in each swirling vane, a single second fuel passage is provided between the cavity and the first fuel passage along an axial direction, and a rectifier grid is disposed at an exit or entrance end of the second fuel passage, the rectifier grid, which is disposed at the exit or entrance end of the second fuel passage, is provided in the nozzle to direct the flow of fuel to the cavity of the swirling vane,
wherein when the fuel passes through the second fuel passage and the rectifier grid, dynamic pressure generated in the first fuel passage is dispersed so that the fuel flows evenly from the second fuel passage into the cavity for preventing a formation of vortices in the cavity.
