Abstract

A combustor is provided with a combustion liner ( 12 ) in which a combustion gas flows through the inner peripheral side and a plurality of through-holes ( 14 ) are formed, and a sound attenuator ( 20 ) having a space-forming member ( 21 ) configured to form a space (S) connected to the plurality of through-holes ( 14 ) at the outer peripheral side of the combustion liner ( 12 ). A method of repairing a combustor involves executing: an opening step of opening a portion of the space-forming member ( 21 ) in contact with the outside and bringing the outside and the space (S) in communication with each other; a cylinder repair step of repairing the combustion liner ( 12 ); a foreign substance removal step of removing foreign substances in the space (S) from the opening ( 23 ) opened in the opening step to the outside, after the cylinder repair step; and a closing step of closing the opening ( 23 ) using a lid ( 24 ), after the foreign substance removal step.

Claims (18)

1. A method of repairing a combustor, the combustor comprising a cylinder in which a combustion gas flows through an inner peripheral side and a plurality of holes are formed so as to pass from the inner peripheral side to an outer peripheral side, and a sound attenuator having a space-forming member configured to form a space at the outer peripheral side of the cylinder so as to constitute a Helmholtz resonance box, wherein the space is connected to the plurality of holes, and the sound attenuator is joined to an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder, the method of repairing the combustor comprising:

an opening step of opening a portion of the space-forming member in contact with an outside and bringing the outside and the space in communication with each other;

a cylinder repair step of repairing the cylinder;

a foreign substance removal step of removing foreign substances in the space from an opening opened in the opening step to the outside, after the cylinder repair step; and

a closing step of closing the opening using a lid, after the foreign substance removal step.

2. The method of repairing the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein, in the opening step, the portion of the space-forming member in contact with the outside is opened so as to have an opening area larger than an opening area of each of the plurality of holes.

3. The method of repairing the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the space-forming member has a pair of first plates opposite to each other at an interval, and a second plate configured to connect ends of the pair of first plates to each other, and

in the opening step, the second plate is opened from one first plate of the pair of first plates to the other first plate.

4. The method of repairing the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the sound attenuator has a porous body disposed in the space,

the method of repairing the combustor further comprising:

a porous body extraction step of extracting the porous body in the space from the opening opened in the opening step to the outside, before the cylinder repair step; and

a porous body disposition step of inserting the porous body into the space from the opening before the opening is closed in the closing step, after the foreign substance removal step.

5. The method of repairing the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the space-forming member has a main body having an opening configured to bring the outside and the space in communication with each other, and the lid is joined to the main body and configured to close the opening, and

in the opening step, the main body and the lid are separated from each other.

6. The method of repairing the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the space-forming member has a main body having an opening configured to bring the outside and the space in communication with each other, and the lid is joined to the main body and configured to close the opening,

the sound attenuator has a porous body disposed in the space and joined to the lid,

in the opening step, the main body and the lid are separated from each other, the lid is distanced from the main body, and the porous body in the space is extracted from the opening to the outside, and

in the closing step, as the opening is closed by the lid, the porous body joined to the lid is disposed in the space.
