Gas turbine combustor and gas turbine
View Patent ↗A gas turbine combustor is disposed in a casing interior space of a gas turbine. A combustor basket of the combustor is formed into a cylindrical shape by abutting ends of a curved panel member and welding the ends together along a welding line 16 . A communication tube is provided for communication between an interior space of the combustor basket and an interior space of a combustor basket of an adjacent combustor. The position of the welding line of the combustor basket coincides with a connection position for connecting the communication tube to the combustor basket. A cooling air hole is disposed in the communication tube or in the combustor basket in the vicinity of the communication tube to introduce cooling air from the casing interior space 9 to the interior of the combustor basket.
1. A gas turbine combustor which is arranged in an interior space of a casing of a gas turbine, the combustor comprising:
a first tubular member which is formed by abutting ends of a curved panel member and welding the ends together along a welding line, and has an interior where combustion gas flows; and
a communication tube configured to connect the interior space of the first tubular member to the interior space of a second tubular member of an adjacent combustor,
wherein a position of the welding line coincides with a connection position for connecting the communication tube to the first tubular member, and a cooling air hole is provided in at least the communication tube so as to introduce cooling air from the interior space of the casing to the interior of the first tubular member.
2. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a resonance device disposed on an outer surface of the first tubular member in such a manner as to avoid the welding line.
3. A gas turbine comprising:
the gas turbine combustor described in claim 1 ;
a casing configured to accommodate the gas turbine combustor;
a compressor which is accommodated in the casing and is configured to supply compressed air as combustion air to the gas turbine combustor via the interior space of the casing; and
a turbine which is accommodated in the casing and is configured to be driven by the combustion gas generated in the gas turbine combustor,
wherein the compressed air partially enters the interior of the first tubular member as cooling air via the cooling air hole.
