Abstract

A combustor of the present invention includes: a plurality of nozzles which is arranged around the central axis of a combustor and of which each base end is connected to an oil supply tube; a nozzle tube base which supports the plurality of nozzles and includes an oil chamber supplying fuel to the nozzles via an oil inflow portion provided in each oil supply tube; a first guide portion which faces the center of the combustor inside the oil chamber and guides the oil remaining inside the oil chamber to the oil inflow portion; and a second guide portion which faces the base end of the combustor inside the oil chamber and guides the oil remaining inside the oil chamber to the oil inflow portion.

Claims (19)

1. A combustor comprising:

a plurality of nozzles which is arranged around the central axis of a combustor and of which each base end is connected to an oil supply tube;

a nozzle tube base which supports the plurality of nozzles and includes an oil chamber supplying fuel to the nozzles via an oil inflow portion provided in each oil supply tube;

a first guide portion which faces the central axis of the combustor inside the oil chamber and guides the oil remaining inside the oil chamber to the oil inflow portion; and

a second guide portion which faces away from the plurality of nozzles inside the oil chamber and guides the oil remaining inside the oil chamber to the oil inflow portion,

wherein the first guide portion includes a first inclination surface that is located between the adjacent oil inflow portions and is inclined in a direction away from the center of the combustor as the first inclination surface becomes closer to one oil inflow portion and a second inclination surface that is inclined in a direction away from the center of the combustor as the second inclination surface becomes closer to the other oil inflow portion, and

the second guide portion includes a third inclination surface that is located closer to the vicinity of the front end of the combustor than the oil inflow portion and is inclined in a direction away from the center of the combustor as the third inclination surface becomes closer to the oil inflow portion.

2. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein an angle formed between the third inclination surface and the central axis of the combustor is larger than an angle formed between the central axis of the combustor and the horizontal line.

3. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil inflow portion comes into contact with an area which is a part of the inner surface of the oil chamber and is the farthest from the center of the combustor.

4. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil inflow portion includes a base end opening which is formed in the oil supply tube and is opened toward the base end of the combustor.

5. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil inflow portion includes a perforation hole which is formed in a tube wall of the oil supply tube.

6. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the oil chamber includes a third guide portion which faces the outer periphery of the combustor inside the oil chamber, is formed to be convex outward in the radial direction of the combustor, and guides the oil remaining inside the oil chamber to the oil inflow portion.

7. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle tube base includes a plurality of the oil chambers.

8. The combustor according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle tube base is formed by a combination of a first member including the first guide portion and a second member including the second guide portion, and the second member is disposed in the central axial direction of the combustor to overlap with the first member.

9. The combustor according to claim 8 , wherein a base end opening of the oil inflow portion faces the first member, and the oil supply tube penetrates the second member.

10. A gas turbine comprising:

a compressor which compresses a hydraulic fluid;

the combustor which burns the hydraulic fluid compressed by the compressor and is described in any one of claims 1 to 9 ;

a turbine which is driven by the hydraulic fluid burned by the combustor.
