Abstract

A combustor includes an outer cylinder, a combustor liner, a plurality of main nozzles, an air flow channel part, and a plurality of water injection parts. The air flow channel part sends air introduced from an outside to between an inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the combustor liner into the combustor liner. The plurality of water injection parts are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder at intervals in a circumferential direction around a central axis. The plurality of water injection parts inject water into the air flowing through the air flow channel part. The water injection part includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle. The first nozzle injects water to a first side in the circumferential direction. The second nozzle injects water to a second side in the circumferential direction.

Claims (27)

1. A combustor comprising:

a tubular outer cylinder extending in an axial direction;

a tubular-shaped combustor liner extending in the axial direction and that is provided on a radially inner side of the tubular outer cylinder;

a plurality of fuel nozzles that are provided inside the tubular-shaped combustor liner and configured to inject fuel;

an air flow channel part that is configured to send air, which is introduced from an outside to between an inner peripheral surface of the tubular outer cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the tubular-shaped combustor liner, into the tubular-shaped combustor liner; and

a plurality of water injection parts that are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular outer cylinder at intervals in a circumferential direction about an axis and is configured to inject water toward the radially inner side of the tubular outer cylinder,

wherein each of the plurality of water injection parts includes:

a first nozzle that is configured to inject water to a first side in the circumferential direction; and

a second nozzle that is configured to inject water to a second side in the circumferential direction.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the plurality of water injection parts includes a bracket fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the tubular outer cylinder, and

the first nozzle and the second nozzle are provided on the bracket.

3. The combustor according to claim 2 ,

wherein the bracket has

a first inclined surface that is inclined to the first side in the circumferential direction and is provided with the first nozzle, and

a second inclined surface that is inclined to the second side in the circumferential direction and is provided with the second nozzle.

4. The combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein in water injection parts of the plurality of water injection parts adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, the first nozzle of one water injection part and the second nozzle of the other water injection part are provided at different positions in the axial direction.

5. The combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein in water injection parts of the plurality of water injection parts adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, diameters of nozzle holes for injecting water are different from each other between the first nozzle and the second nozzle.

6. The combustor according to claim 1 ,

wherein in water injection parts of the plurality of water injection parts adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, the first nozzle and the second nozzle have water injection directions that are different from each other in the axial direction.

7. The combustor according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an annular flow channel part that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of the tubular outer cylinder to be continuous in the circumferential direction and to which water is supplied from the outside; and

a water supply hole that penetrates the tubular outer cylinder in a radial direction and is configured to supply water from the annular flow channel part to each of the plurality of water injection parts.

8. A gas turbine comprising:

the combustor according to claim 1 .
