Abstract

Provided is a combustor used in a gas turbine and configured to mix and burn fuel gas, water vapor, and air. The combustor includes: a fuel injection device including a fuel injection portion which directly injects the fuel gas into a combustion chamber, and a water vapor injection portion provided in at least one of a position radially outward of the fuel injection portion and a position radially inward of the fuel injection portion; and an air supply chamber which is provided in at least one of a position radially outward of the water vapor injection portion provided radially outward of the fuel injection portion and a position radially inward of the water vapor injection portion provided radially inward of the fuel injection portion, and which supplies air to be mixed with water vapor injected from the water vapor injection portion.

Claims (30)

1. A gas turbine combustor which is a combustor used in a gas turbine for mixing and burning a fuel gas, a water vapor, and an air, the gas turbine combustor comprising:

a fuel injection device including a fuel injection portion configured to directly inject the fuel gas into a combustion chamber;

an outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion provided radially outward of the fuel injection portion;

an inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion provided radially inward of the fuel injection portion;

an outer air supply chamber provided radially outward of the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion;

an inner air supply chamber provided radially inward of the inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion; and

an outer mixing promotion member configured to mix the water vapor supplied from the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion and the air supplied from the outer air supply chamber, and to inject the mixture into the combustion chamber,

wherein a cross-section comprises a plane perpendicular to a direction in which the fuel injection portion is opened directly into the combustion chamber,

wherein the direction is parallel to a longitudinally central axis of the combustion chamber, and

wherein the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion is opened to the outer air supply chamber.

2. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an inner mixing promotion member configured to promote mixing of the water vapor supplied from the inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion and air supplied from the inner air supply chamber.

3. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fuel injection device includes an air introduction passage configured to introduce an air from the outer air supply chamber into the inner air supply chamber.

4. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fuel injection portion is formed with a fuel injection hole that is inclined in a circumferential direction.

5. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a plurality of the fuel injection holes are arranged in a radial direction.

6. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

a combustion liner forming the combustion chamber has air introduction holes in multiple stages in an axial direction, and

the air introduction hole in an upstream-side stage has a diameter greater than that of the air introduction hole in a downstream-side stage.

7. A gas turbine combustor which is a combustor used in a gas turbine for mixing and burning a fuel gas, a water vapor, and an air, the gas turbine combustor, comprising:

a fuel injection device including a fuel injection portion configured to directly inject the fuel gas into a combustion chamber, an outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion provided radially outward of the fuel injection portion, and an inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion provided radially inward of the fuel injection portion; and

an outer air supply chamber provided radially outward of the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion, the outer air supply chamber being configured to supply the air to be mixed with the water vapor injected from the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion, and inject a mixture of the water vapor and the air into the combustion chamber,

an inner air supply chamber provided radially inward of the inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion and configured to supply the air to be mixed with the water vapor injected from the inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion, and inject a mixture of the water vapor and the air into the combustion chamber,

wherein the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion is opened to the outer air supply chamber, and

the gas turbine combustor further comprises an outer mixing promotion member provided on a downstream side of the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion configured to mix the water vapor supplied from the outer-diameter-side water vapor injection portion and the air supplied from the outer air supply chamber, and to inject the mixture into the combustion chamber.

8. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an inner mixing promotion member configured to promote mixing of the water vapor supplied from the inner-diameter-side water vapor injection portion and air supplied from the inner air supply chamber.

9. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the fuel injection device includes an air introduction passage configured to introduce an air from the outer air supply chamber into the inner air supply chamber.

10. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the fuel injection portion is formed with a fuel injection hole that is inclined in a circumferential direction.

11. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a plurality of the fuel injection holes are arranged in a radial direction.

12. The gas turbine combustor as claimed in claim 7 , wherein

a combustion liner forming the combustion chamber has air introduction holes in multiple stages in an axial direction, and

the air introduction hole in an upstream-side stage has a diameter greater than that of the air introduction hole in a downstream-side stage.
