Abstract

A gas turbine combustor forms a combustion region R 1 therein by burning a premixed gas obtained by previously mixing a fuel and combustion air. The gas turbine combustor includes: a burner cylinder ( 51 ) in which the premixed gas passes; a film air supply port ( 61 ) that is provided on the burner cylinder 51 , and supplies a film air formed into a film shape and flowing along the inner wall surface (the inner circumferential surface) of the burner cylinder ( 51 ); and a cooling passage ( 71 ) in which a cooling air passes. The cooling air cools a back-step surface ( 65 ) facing the formed combustion region R 1 . The cooling passage ( 71 ) includes a side from which the cooling air flows out, and the side is connected to the film air supply port ( 61 ).

Claims (13)

1. A gas turbine combustor that forms therein a combustion region by burning a premixed gas obtained by mixing a fuel and combustion air in advance, the gas turbine combustor comprising:

a plurality of premixed gas supply passages in which the premixed gas passes;

a wall portion formed perpendicular to a central axis of the gas turbine combustor to connect between end portions of the plurality of premixed gas supply passages so as to separate the plurality of premixed gas supply passages;

a film air supply port that is provided on each of the plurality of premixed gas supply passages and that supplies a film air formed into a film shape along an inner wall surface of each of the premixed gas supply passages; and

a cooling passage in which a cooling air passes to cool the inner wall surface of each of the premixed gas supply passages and the wall portion facing the combustion region,

wherein an outlet side of the cooling passage is connected to the film air supply port, and

wherein the cooling passage includes, in a flow direction of the cooling air, an upstream cooling passage formed along an inner surface disposed across the inner wall surface from the combustion region and a downstream cooling passage formed along an inner surface of each of the premixed gas supply passages.

2. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein an impingement member is inserted in the cooling passage and the impingement member includes an impingement hole penetrating the impingement member such that the cooling air is injected onto the inner surface.

3. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the film air supply port is an opening formed between the inner wall surface on an upstream side of each of the premixed gas supply passages and the inner wall surface on a downstream side provided outside the inner wall surface on the upstream side.

4. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the film air supply port is a slit opening formed on the inner wall surface of each of the premixed gas supply passages.

5. A gas turbine comprising:

the gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 ; and

a turbine that rotates by a combustion gas generated by combustion of the premixed gas in the gas turbine combustor.
