Abstract

A combustor according to the present invention is provided with: a pilot burner ( 15 ) disposed along an axis (P); a plurality of premixing burners ( 16 ), each of which has a premixing swirler cylinder ( 19 ) and a premixing nozzle ( 20 ) disposed inside the premixing swirler cylinder ( 19 ) and that are disposed about the axis (P) in the circumferential direction so as to surround the periphery of the pilot burner ( 15 ); a substrate ( 23 ) through which the pilot burner ( 15 ) and the premixing swirler cylinders ( 19 ) are individually inserted so as to be supported therein; and stagnation eliminating blocks ( 27 ) that are provided so as to fill spaces between the premixing swirler cylinders ( 19 ) on a surface of the substrate ( 23 ) on the downstream side, wherein air film supplying ports ( 38 ) that form air films A on surfaces of the stagnation eliminating blocks ( 27 ) are formed in the stagnation eliminating blocks ( 27 ).

Claims (15)

1. A combustor, comprising:

a pilot burner disposed along an axis;

a plurality of premixing burners, each of which has a premixing swirler cylinder and a premixing nozzle disposed inside the premixing swirler cylinder, the premixing burners being disposed about the axis in a circumferential direction so as to surround a periphery of the pilot burner;

a substrate, through which the pilot burner and the premixing swirler cylinders are individually inserted so as to be supported therein; and

stagnation eliminating blocks provided so as to fill spaces between the premixing swirler cylinders on a downstream side surface of the substrate;

wherein each of the stagnation eliminating blocks is formed with at least one air inlet port and air film supplying ports, and the air film supplying ports are open ports formed on exterior surfaces of the stagnation eliminating blocks and are configured to form air films along the exterior surfaces such that possibility of a burn occurring on the exterior surfaces is reduced, and

wherein the at least one air inlet port and the air film supplying ports communicate with each other via air film channels penetrating through the stagnation eliminating blocks.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein, for each of the stagnation eliminating blocks, the at least one air inlet port is provided on an outside peripheral surface.

3. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein, for each of the stagnation eliminating blocks, the air film supplying ports include port spaced apart in a radial direction.

4. The combustor according to claim 3 , wherein each of the stagnation eliminating blocks decreases in dimension with respect to the circumferential direction from an upstream side to a downstream side, and

for each of the stagnation elimination blocks, the air film supplying ports are provided on two of the exterior surfaces, the two of the exterior surfaces being located on different sides with respect to the circumferential direction.

5. A gas turbine, comprising:

a combustor according to claim 1 ;

a compressor for supplying compressed air to the combustor; and

a turbine, to which combustion gas generated by the combustor is supplied.
