Gas turbine combustor with a premixing burner having a reduced metal temperature by injecting air along a burner end face
View Patent ↗A combustor has at least one premixing burner for premixing fuel with air and jetting the mixed gas into a chamber for combustion. A cylinder attached to an outer circumferential portion of an end face of the burner is provided with air supply holes. An interval D 1 defined between the adjacent air supply holes and an interval D 2 defined between each air supply hole and the end face of the burner are each made narrower than the quenching distance in the premixed gas jetted from the premixing burner.
1. A gas turbine combustor comprising:
a premixing burner for premixing gaseous fuel with air to produce a premixed gas and jetting the premixed gas into a chamber;
a cylinder disposed on an outer circumference of the premixing burner so as to surround the premixing burner and connected to a burner outlet end face which is an end face of the premixing burner at an end of the chamber; and
a plurality of air supply holes formed in the cylinder configured to jet air jets that flow along the burner outlet end face; wherein
an interval defined between adjacent air supply holes of the plurality of air supply holes is 1 cm or less,
an interval defined between each air supply hole of the plurality of air supply holes and the burner outlet end face is 1 cm or less,
the cylinder extends toward a side of the chamber further than the burner outlet end face, and
the plurality of air supply holes are disposed on the side of the chamber further than the burner outlet end face.
2. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein
the premixing burner includes an air hole plate with a plurality of air holes and a plurality of fuel nozzles, wherein each of the plurality of fuel nozzles is adapted to jet the gaseous fuel into a respective one of the plurality of air holes of the air hole plate.
3. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 2 , wherein the premixing burner is one of a plurality of premixing burners.
4. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a liner for surrounding the chamber; and
a seal member disposed between the liner and the cylinder inserted into the liner to secure the cylinder and the liner, the seal member obstructing a flow of air between the liner and the cylinder; wherein
the plurality of air supply holes formed in the cylinder are disposed at an axial location between an upstream end of the seal member and a downstream end thereof.
5. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of air supply holes formed in the cylinder are open parallel to or toward the burner outlet end face of the premixing burner.
6. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 4 , wherein
at least one of the plurality of air supply holes has an elongate shape long in a circumferential direction of the cylinder.
7. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 4 , wherein
a rib for obstructing the flow of air is located between the liner and the cylinder and downstream of the plurality of air supply holes.
8. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 4 , wherein
a first one of the plurality of air supply holes is located closer to the premixing burner than a second one of the plurality of air supply holes, wherein the first one has a smaller diameter than the second one.
9. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 2 , wherein
the gas turbine combustor has a plurality of fuel systems,
the premixing burner circumferentially has the plurality of air holes and the plurality of fuel nozzles arranged in a plurality of rows,
the plurality of fuel nozzles includes inner circumferential side fuel nozzles connected to a first fuel system and outer circumferential side fuel nozzles connected to a second fuel system that is different from the first fuel system, and
the second fuel system supplies fuel to the outer circumferential side fuel nozzles at a lower flow rate than the first fuel system supplies fuel to the inner circumferential side fuel nozzles.
10. A gas turbine combustor comprising:
a premixing burner for premixing gaseous fuel with air to produce a premixed gas and jetting the premixed gas into a chamber;
a cylinder disposed on an outer circumference of the premixing burner so as to surround the premixing burner and connected to a burner outlet end face which is an end face of the premixing burner at an end of the chamber; and
a plurality of air supply holes formed in the cylinder configured to jet air jets that flow along the burner outlet end face; wherein
an interval defined between adjacent air supply holes of the plurality of air supply holes is 1 cm or less,
an interval defined between each air supply hole of the plurality of air supply holes and the burner outlet end face is 1 cm or less,
the cylinder extends toward a side of the chamber further than the burner outlet end face,
the plurality of air supply holes are disposed on the side of the chamber further than the burner outlet end face, and
the plurality of air supply holes are opened toward an inner diameter side of the cylinder.
