GAS TURBINE COMBUSTOR AND GAS TURBINE ENGINE EQUIPPED WITH SAME
The liquid fuel-using gas turbine combustor prevents the generation of combustion oscillation. The gas turbine combustor is provided with a pilot burner disposed on the central position of the combustion casing, main burners disposed so as to surround the pilot burner. The main burners are configured such that a main nozzle is installed in the central portion of a cylindrical premixing nozzle, with a liquid fuel being injected from fuel injection holes (provided at the periphery of the main nozzle) toward the inner surface of an elongated nozzle connected to the downstream side of the premixing nozzle, and with the injection pattern of the fuel being set so as to differ among the multiple main burners. For example, different injection patterns can be provided by setting different liquid fuel injection angles (θ 1, θ2 ) for the fuel injection holes on the multiple main burners.
1 . A gas turbine combustor, comprising:
a pilot burner centrally disposed in a combustion casing; and
a plurality of main burners disposed so as to surround a periphery of the pilot burner;
each of the main burners comprising a main nozzle centrally disposed in a cylindrical premixing nozzle, a liquid fuel being injected from fuel injection holes provided on a periphery of the main nozzle towards an inner surface of an elongated nozzle connected to a downstream side of the premixing nozzle; and
an injection pattern of the liquid fuel injected from the fuel injection holes towards the inner surface of the elongated nozzle being set to differ amongst the plurality of main burners.
2 . The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the differing injection patterns are due to the fuel injection holes having an angle of injection of the liquid fuel differing amongst the plurality of main burners.
3 . The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the differing injection patterns are due to a position of the fuel injection holes on the main nozzle differing amongst the main burners.
4 . The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the differing injection patterns are due to the number of the fuel injection holes on the main nozzle differing amongst the main burners.
5 . The gas turbine combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the differing injection patterns are due to a diameter of the fuel injection holes on the main nozzle differing amongst the main burners.
6 . The gas turbine combustor according to claim 2 , wherein the differing injection patterns are due to a position of the main nozzle with respect to the premixing nozzle being variable in at least one direction of the group consisting of an axial direction and a circumferential direction.
7 . A gas turbine engine, comprising:
a compressor that compresses air;
the gas turbine combustor described in claim 1 that combusts a fuel injected into the air compressed by the compressor; and
