Combustor, burner, and gas turbine
View Patent ↗A combustor is provided that can ensure combustion stability even when operated on low BTU gas without needing any equipment for preventing back-flow of fuel gas during operation on pilot fuel. The combustor includes a first perforated plate disposed upstream of a combustion chamber, the first plate having a plurality of nozzle holes and air holes; a second perforated plate disposed on the upstream side of the first plate; and a plurality of gas nozzles each of which is inserted into corresponding nozzle holes. The gas nozzle has a leading end located inside the corresponding one of the nozzle holes. Each of the gas nozzles includes a jet hole portion having a diameter smaller than that of a gas jet hole of the gas nozzle; and a passage portion designed to form an air passage on the outer circumference of the leading end portion of the gas nozzle.
1. A combustor comprising:
a combustion chamber;
a first perforated plate disposed upstream of the combustion chamber in the flow direction of combustion gas, the first perforated plate including a plurality of nozzle holes and air holes facing the inside space of the combustion chamber;
a second perforated plate disposed on a side opposite the combustion chamber with the first perforated plate put therebetween; and
a plurality of gas nozzles each of which is inserted from the second perforated plate side into a corresponding one of the nozzle holes of the first perforated plate;
wherein the gas nozzle has a leading end located inside the corresponding nozzle hole,
the nozzle hole includes
a jet hole portion having a diameter smaller than that of a gas jet hole of the gas nozzle and opposed to the combustion chamber side of the gas nozzle, and
a passage portion designed to form an air passage on an outer circumference of the leading end of the gas nozzle in such a manner as to surround the gas nozzle, and
an air chamber communicating the air passage with the air hole is defined between the first perforated plate and the second perforated plate.
2. The combustor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first perforated plate includes nozzle holes and air holes arranged alternately in a circumferential direction.
3. The combustor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first perforated plate includes nozzle holes concentrically arranged in plural rows.
4. The combustor according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first perforated plate includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having the nozzle holes arranged in a row at the outer circumferential side of the first perforated plate, the second portion having the nozzle holes arranged in a row at the inner circumferential side of the first perforated plate, and
wherein the first portion protrudes more toward the downstream in the flow direction of combustion gas than does the second portion.
5. The combustor according to claim 3 ,
wherein the first perforated plate includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having the nozzle holes arranged in a row at the outer circumferential side of the first perforated plate, the second portion having the nozzle holes arranged in a row at the inner circumferential side of the first perforated plate, and
wherein the second portion protrudes more toward the downstream in the flow direction of combustion gas than does the first portion.
6. The combustor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second perforated plate includes a cooling hole pierced through the second perforated plate such that the cooling hole is opposed to the first perforated plate.
7. The combustor according to claim 6 ,
wherein the cooling hole is located radially inward of the gas nozzles.
8. The combustor according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second perforated plate includes a plurality of through holes each adapted to receive the gas nozzle inserted therethrough and to form an air passage on an outer circumference of the gas nozzle.
9. The combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pilot nozzle installed at a central portion of the first perforated plate.
10. A burner comprising:
a first perforated plate having a plurality of nozzle holes and air holes facing the inside space of a combustion chamber;
a second perforated plate disposed on a side opposite the combustion chamber with the first perforated plate put therebetween; and
a plurality of gas nozzles each of which is inserted from the second plate side into a corresponding one of the nozzle holes of the first perforated plate;
wherein the gas nozzle has a leading end located inside the corresponding nozzle hole,
the nozzle hole includes
a jet hole portion having a diameter smaller than that of a gas jet hole of the gas nozzle and opposed to the combustion chamber side of the gas nozzle, and
a passage portion designed to form an air passage on an outer circumference of a leading end of the gas nozzle in such a manner as to surround the gas nozzle, and
an air chamber communicating the air passage with the air hole is defined between the first perforated plate and the second perforated plate.
11. A gas turbine comprising:
a compressor for compressing air;
a combustor for burning combustion air compressed by the compressor along with fuel; and
a turbine for obtaining rotational power from combustion gas produced by the combustor;
wherein the combustor includes:
a combustion chamber;
a first perforated plate disposed upstream of the combustion chamber in the flow direction of combustion gas, the first perforated plate including a plurality of nozzle holes and air holes facing the inside space of the combustion chamber;
a second perforated plate disposed on a side opposite the combustion chamber with the first perforated plate put therebetween; and
a plurality of gas nozzles each of which is inserted from the second perforated plate side into a corresponding one of the nozzle holes of the first perforated plate; and
wherein the gas nozzle has a leading end located inside the corresponding nozzle hole,
the nozzle hole includes
a jet hole portion having a diameter smaller than that of a gas jet hole of the gas nozzle and opposed to the combustion chamber side of the gas nozzle, and
a passage portion designed to form an air passage on an outer circumference of a leading end of the gas nozzle in such a manner as to surround the gas nozzle, and
an air chamber communicating the air passage with the air hole is defined between the first perforated plate and the second perforated plate.
