Abstract

A gas turbine combustor of the present invention includes a cylindrical combustor liner, a cylindrical combustion chamber inside the combustor liner, and a burner that includes a plurality of fuel nozzles for injecting the gas fuel into the combustion chamber and an air hole plate with a plurality of air holes for guiding the compressed air into the combustion chamber. The air hole plate joins the combustor liner and is disposed between the fuel nozzles and the combustion chamber. The junction between the air hole plate and the combustor liner is provided with an inclined component which covers the junction and has a connecting surface connecting the air hole plate and the combustor liner.

Claims (14)

1. A gas turbine combustor comprising:

a cylindrical combustor liner;

a cylindrical combustion chamber inside the combustor liner; and

a burner including a plurality of fuel nozzles for injecting gas fuel into the combustion chamber, and an air hole plate with a plurality of air holes for guiding compressed air into the combustion chamber, wherein:

the air hole plate joins the combustor liner, and is disposed between the fuel nozzles and the combustion chamber;

the gas turbine combustor further comprises a plurality of inclined components, a first inclined component of the plurality of inclined components being on a junction between the air hole plate and the combustor liner, the first inclined component covering the junction and having a connecting surface that connects and is inclined with respect to the air hole plate and the combustor liner;

each of the inclined component of the plurality of inclined components is formed on a respective part of the combustion chamber in a circumferential direction;

the burner includes a pilot burner at a position of a central axis of the combustion chamber, and a plurality of main burners around the pilot burner;

each of the main burners includes the plurality of the air holes; and

each of the inclined component is provided in a respective region of the junction, in which the air holes of the main burners are positioned when seen from the central axis of the combustion chamber on the air hole plate.

2. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first inclined component has the connecting surface with a linear shape on a cross section including a central axis of the combustion chamber.

3. The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first inclined component has the connecting surface with a curved shape on a cross section including a central axis of the combustion chamber.
