Gas turbine combustor base plate configuration

1. A combustor comprising:

a plurality of first burners extending along an axis and spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction;

a base plate having support openings configured to respectively support the plurality of first burners and a plurality of through-holes configured to eject base plate air to flow from the through-holes toward a side downstream of the base plate;

a plurality of extension pipes supported by the base plate to correspond to the first burners and configured to guide a pre-mixed gas ejected from the first burners toward the side downstream of the base plate; and

a base plate aft extension section configured to change a direction of at least some of the base plate air ejected from the through-holes and to guide and further eject the base plate air ejected from the through-holes toward a further downstream side of the base plate,

wherein the plurality of through-holes are formed in a region between ones of the support openings adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction,

wherein the base plate air extension section is formed by a plurality of pipe bodies respectively installed to correspond to at least one of the plurality of through-holes,

wherein the plurality of pipe bodies are arranged in the region, and are extending from a surface of a downstream side of the base plate toward the side downstream of the base plate,

wherein the extension pipes extend toward the side downstream of the base plate, and

wherein the plurality of pipe bodies extend toward the side downstream of the base plate such that respective downstream end portions of the plurality of pipe bodies are disposed slightly upstream of an opening section of a downstream side of the extension pipes.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein inner diameters of the plurality of pipe bodies are set to be decreased from an inner diameter of the pipe body disposed at a position closest to the axis as the pipe bodies are disposed at positions separated from the axis.

3. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein dimensions in an axial direction of the plurality of pipe bodies are set to be increased from a dimension in the axial direction of the pipe body disposed at a position closest to the axis as the pipe bodies are disposed at positions separated from the axis.

4. The combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising thick sections configured to fill gaps between the plurality of pipe bodies.

5. A combustor comprising:

a plurality of first burners extending along an axis and spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction;

a base plate having support openings configured to respectively support the plurality of first burners and a plurality of through-holes configured to eject base plate air to flow from the through-holes toward a side downstream of the base plate;

a plurality of extension pipes supported by the base plate to correspond to the first burners and configured to guide a pre-mixed gas ejected from the first burners toward the side downstream of the base plate; and

a base plate air direction change section configured to change a direction of at least some of the base plate air ejected from the through-holes and direct the base plate air ejected from the through-holes toward a further downstream side of the base plate,

wherein the plurality of through-holes are formed in a region between ones of the support openings adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction,

wherein the base plate air direction change section is formed by a plurality of partition plates,

wherein the plurality of partition plates are arranged in the region, and are extending from a surface of a downstream side of the base plate toward the side downstream of the base plate, and

wherein the partition plates form a plurality of partitions including the through-holes by dividing the region in a radial direction of the combustor, a number of the through-holes is increased from a number of the through-holes formed in the partition disposed at a position closest to the axis as the partitions are disposed at positions separated from the axis,

wherein the extension pipes extend toward the side downstream of the base plate, and

wherein the partition plates extend toward the side downstream of the base plate such that respective end portions of the partition plates are disposed slightly upstream of an opening section of a downstream side of the extension pipes.

6. The combustor according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of the partition plates are formed to be gradually curved from the base plate toward the side downstream of the base plate in a direction away from the axis.

7. The combustor according to claim 5 , wherein opening diameters of the through-holes are decreased from an opening diameter of the through-hole disposed at a position closest to the axis as the partitions are disposed at positions separated from the axis.

8. The combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising a second burner disposed along the axis to be surrounded by the plurality of first burners from an outside in a radial direction of the axis.

9. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustor according to claim 1 ;

a compressor configured to supply compressed air into the combustor; and

a turbine configured to receive a combustion gas generated by combusting the pre-mixed gas in the combustor.
