Publication number: 20240077026Abstract: A cylinder for combustion comprises a barrel having a cylindrical shape, and an air supply pipe. An insertion opening and a plurality of cooling flow paths are formed in the barrel. Collision region flow paths of the plurality of cooling flow paths each have a collision region circumvention flow path part intersecting with a collision gas axis extending in the direction of the flow of combustion gas moving toward a pipe center axis of the air supply pipe. The collision region circumvention flow path parts have an upstream-side direction component from the collision gas axis along the edge of the insertion opening, and have a downstream-side direction component from the collision gas axis along the edge of the insertion opening.
