Abstract

Provided is a gas turbine combustor capable of reducing the size of a low-temperature air layer of pilot air formed between a pilot flame and a premixed flame and of improving the flame stability of the premixed flame. A gas turbine combustor, which is provided with a pilot burner that is provided at the center portion of a combustor main body formed in a cylindrical shape to form a pilot flame, and a plurality of main burners arranged so as to surround the outer periphery of the pilot burner to form a premixed flame, includes, as the ignition improving part, a channel blocking member that reduces the size of the low-temperature air layer of the pilot air formed between the pilot flame and the premixed flame.

Claims (4)

1. A gas turbine combustor provided with a pilot burner that is provided at a center portion of a combustor main body formed in a cylindrical shape to form a pilot flame, and a plurality of main burners arranged so as to surround an outer periphery of the pilot burner to form a premixed flame, the gas turbine combustor comprising:

an ignition improving part that reduces the size of a low-temperature air layer of pilot air, formed between the pilot flame and the premixed flame,

wherein in the ignition improving part is one or a plurality of plate-like projecting members projecting in a downstream direction of a flow of the pilot air and attached to an outer edge of a pilot cone, and

the one or the plurality of the plate-like projecting members are configured in a shape of a part of a cylinder and extend downstream in an axial direction of the pilot cone, and are provided at a portion in a circumferential direction of the outer edge of the pilot cone.
