Patent number: 10837641Abstract: The present invention provides a burner, a combustor equipped with the burner, and a gas turbine, with which it is possible to premix a first hydrocarbon-based fuel (for example, natural gas), a second fuel (for example, hydrogen gas), and combustion air, and to spray into the combustion chamber of the combustor a thin and uniform concentration distribution of the premixed air, and with which it is possible to suppress the amount of NOx discharged. On the upstream side of the premix flow path, hydrogen gas is sprayed from second fuel spray nozzles, which project into the premix flow path, into the flow of the combustion air flowing toward the center from the outer edge of an outer cylinder, whereby a primary air-fuel mixture having a uniform concentration distribution is generated without affecting a low-speed region of the combustion air.Type: GrantFiled: December 25, 2015Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Ogata, Takeo Oda, Yasuhiro Kinoshita, Kohshi Hirano, Takahiro Uto
