Abstract: This gas turbine equipment comprises a gas turbine and a control device. A combustor of the gas turbine uses ammonia as fuel, and uses the RQL method. A compressor of the gas turbine includes an intake adjustor that adjusts an intake rate which is the flow rate of air that flows into a compressor casing. When the concentration of NOx in exhaust gas reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the control device controls the operation of the intake adjustor so that the intake rate decreases.

Abstract: Provided is a fuel supply system including a main ammonia line through which liquid ammonia flows; a vaporizer connected to an end of the main ammonia line and configured to heat and vaporize the liquid ammonia via heat exchange between a heating medium and the liquid ammonia; a gaseous ammonia line connected to the vaporizer, the gaseous ammonia line configured to guide a gaseous ammonia, which is ammonia vaporized by the vaporizer, as fuel to a combustor of a gas turbine; a liquid ammonia line configured to guide liquid ammonia which has not undergone heat exchange with the heating medium at the vaporizer as fuel to the combustor; and a switching device configured to switch an ammonia supply state between a first state in which the gaseous ammonia is guided from the gaseous ammonia line to the combustor and a second state in which the liquid ammonia is guided from the liquid ammonia line to the combustor.

Abstract: A control device is a control device for a gas turbine including a plurality of combustors and is configured to select combustors to ignite in accordance with a target load on the basis of a predictor which defines a relationship between a load and the number and arrangement of combustors to ignite and a combustion temperature.

Abstract: A combustor includes: a first cylindrical body which is configured to hold a fuel nozzle extending in an axial line direction and through which air flows toward a downstream side thereof; a second cylindrical body that is connected to a downstream side of the first cylindrical body; and an outer shell that has an inner peripheral surface configured to define an air introduction channel through which air is introduced such that the air reverses course at an upstream end of the first cylindrical body and flows toward the downstream side together with an outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body. The inner peripheral surface has an outside narrowing surface that is formed to extend inward in a radial direction toward the upstream end of the first cylindrical body.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustor that mixes fuel with compressed air guided from a compressor to burn the fuel mixed with the compressed air to generate a combustion gas and supplies the generated combustion gas to a turbine is provided with: an inner cylinder forming a combustion chamber thereinside; an outer cylinder that covers the inner cylinder and forms, between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, a cylindrical outer peripheral flow path through which the compressed air flows; an end cover closing the end of the outer cylinder on an opposite side from a side the turbine is located; and a turn guide provided at the end on the end cover side of the inner cylinder, protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder toward the outer cylinder and smoothly connected to the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustor is capable of uniformizing a distribution of fuel concentrations to reduce NOx emissions. The gas turbine combustor includes a main burner of the premixed combustion type and a combustion chamber for burning a fuel and air supplied from the main burner. The main burner includes a fuel nozzle for injecting a fuel supplied from a main fuel system and a premixture passageway for mixing the fuel injected from the fuel nozzle and air supplied from an air passageway and supplying the air-fuel mixture to the combustion chamber. The fuel nozzle includes a tapered portion, a flat portion extending from the tapered portion toward a distal side thereof, a fuel passageway defined in the fuel nozzle, and first and second arrays of fuel injection holes providing fluid communication between the fuel passageway and the outside of the fuel nozzle. The first array of fuel injection holes is defined in the tapered portion.
