  • Patent number: 8863894
    Abstract: In a silencer, holes are disposed in one row with intervals to each other along one direction, holes forming the one row are disposed in a plurality of rows in a direction perpendicular to the one direction, and positions of the holes in adjacent rows are shifted in the one direction and disposed in a zigzag pattern. A disposition interval of the holes of an outer edge hole row forming one row in at least two sides opposite to each other in the silencing porous plate is set to be larger than a disposition interval of the holes of a row inside the outer edge hole row.

  • Patent number: 7908866
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a gas turbine combustor with improved fatigue resistance of a combustor. It is possible to intentionally reduce a stiffness of each of flanges of upper and lower walls of an end portion (outlet) of the tail pipe of the gas turbine combustor. It is possible to reduce a stiff difference between the upper and lower walls of the end portion (outlet) of the tail pipe section and side walls. Thus, it is possible to reduce compulsion deformation caused due to thermal stress generated in the end portion (outlet) of the tail pipe section on the operation of the conventional gas turbine combustor, and to reduce high stress easy to generate in the side plate. As a result, the gas turbine combustor with high fatigue resistance can be realized.
