20100050648 | COMBUSTOR AND THE METHOD OF FUEL SUPPLY AND CONVERTING FUEL NOZZLE - An object of this invention is to accelerate further mixing of a fuel and air independently of a flow rate of the fuel. | 03-04-2010 |
20100251725 | Combustor and Method for Modifying the Same - This invention is intended to maintain combustor reliability. | 10-07-2010 |
20110094239 | Low NOx Combustor for Hydrogen-Containing Fuel and its Operation - An object of the present invention is to provide a gas turbine combustor that supports hydrogen-containing gas having a high burning velocity and is capable of performing low NOx combustion without reducing reliability of a burner. A first fuel nozzle is provided upstream of a combustion chamber and supplies fuel for activation and hydrogen-containing gas. The combustor has a primary combustion zone, a reduction zone and a secondary combustion zone. In the primary combustion zone, the fuel supplied from the first fuel nozzle is combusted under a fuel rich condition to form a burned gas containing a low concentration of oxygen. In the reduction zone, a hydrogen-containing gas is injected into the combustion chamber through a second fuel injection hole from a second fuel nozzle so that NOx generated in the primary combustion zone is reduced by an oxygen reaction of the hydrogen. In the secondary combustion zone, air for lean combustion is supplied into the combustion chamber so that unburned part of fuel is combusted under a fuel lean condition. | 04-28-2011 |
20110185703 | Gas Turbine Combustor - A gas turbine combustor includes plural multi-coaxial-injection-hole burners in which plural fuel nozzles and plural air holes provided in an air plate to correspond to the respective fuel nozzles are coaxially arranged. Each of the multi-coaxial-injection-hole burners includes a first coaxial injection burner disposed on an inner circumferential side, and a second coaxial injection burner disposed on an outer circumferential side, and a diameter of the air holes of the first coaxial injection burner is smaller than a diameter of the air holes of the second coaxial injection burner. Combustion for carrying out flame holding of a gas turbine combustor is performed by the first coaxial injection burner, and low NOx combustion of the gas turbine combustor is performed by the second coaxial injection burner. | 08-04-2011 |
20130019584 | BURNER, GAS TURBINE COMBUSTOR, BURNER COOLING METHOD, AND BURNER MODIFYING METHOD - In a burner for injecting mixed gas fuel containing at least one of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into a combustion chamber of a gas turbine combustor, the burner includes a fuel nozzle for startup from which liquid fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, and a mixed fuel nozzle disposed around the fuel nozzle for injecting the mixed gas fuel. An air swirler is disposed at a downstream end of the mixed fuel nozzle and has a plurality of flow passages from which compressed air is injected into the combustion chamber, and the mixed fuel nozzle has injection ports disposed in the inner peripheral side of the flow passages of the air swirler. Cooling holes formed in the nozzle surface and positioned to face the combustion chamber introduce a part of the mixed gas fuel injected from the mixed fuel nozzle into the combustion chamber. | 01-24-2013 |
20130029277 | Combustor, Burner, and Gas Turbine - A combustor is provided that can ensure combustion stability even when operated on low BTU gas without needing any equipment for preventing back-flow of fuel gas during operation on pilot fuel. The combustor includes a first perforated plate disposed upstream of a combustion chamber, the first plate having a plurality of nozzle holes and air holes; a second perforated plate disposed on the upstream side of the first plate; and a plurality of gas nozzles each of which is inserted into corresponding nozzle holes. The gas nozzle has a leading end located inside the corresponding one of the nozzle holes. Each of the gas nozzles includes a jet hole portion having a diameter smaller than that of a gas jet hole of the gas nozzle; and a passage portion designed to form an air passage on the outer circumference of the leading end portion of the gas nozzle. | 01-31-2013 |
20130219900 | Gas Turbine Combustor - The present invention provides a gas turbine combustor that has a fuel injection nozzle using a fluid other than liquid fuel to atomize the liquid fuel and that can suppress a reduction in power generation efficiency resulting from a heat loss while promoting the atomization of the liquid fuel. The gas turbine combustor is adapted to mix liquid fuel with combustion air led from a compressor, burn the mixture, and supply combustion gas generated to a gas turbine. The gas turbine combustor includes a fuel injection nozzle that atomizes the liquid fuel into fine liquid droplets. The fuel injection nozzle includes a first system adapted to supply the liquid fuel and a second system adapted to supply a fluid for atomizing the liquid fuel. Low-boiling liquid fuel is supplied to the second system as the fluid. The second system is adapted to heat and supply the low-boiling liquid fuel. | 08-29-2013 |
