Abstract: A premixture of compressed air and gaseous fuel is supplied and conbusted into a head combustion chamber of a combustor for gas turbine and main combustion of lean, low flame temperature is carried out in a rear combustion chamber following the heat combustion chamber to prevent the formation of high flame temperature which tends to promote NOx generation.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustor comprises an inner cylinder provided with louvers in an outer periphery thereof, defines a head combustion chamber and a main combustion chamber located downstream of and greater in diameter than the head combustion. An outer cylinder surrounds the inner cylinder and defines an air passage therebetween. A first burner communicates with the head combustion chamber and supplies air with gaseous fuel, and a second burner being disposed in the air passage near the head combustion chamber and supplying air and gaseous fuel into the main combustion chamber. The second burner is formed with a plurality of air inlets by a plurality of vanes which are disposed in an annular passage and which swirl the air, and with gaseous fuel jet ports near the inner peripheries of the air inlets.

Abstract: A premixing swirling burner including a burner body having a swirling member at one end for causing fuel introduced into the burner body to flow in vortical form through the swirling member, a burner outer frame mounting the burner body and communicated with an air line for introducing air into the burner body, and a cylindrical member located in the burner outer frame for enclosing the burner body, with an air passage being defined between the inner periphery of the cylindrical member and an outer periphery of a portion of the burner body. A premixing chamber is defined between an outer periphery of a central portion of the burner body and an inner periphery of the cylindrical member for providing a fuel-air premix flowing toward the swirling member. A fuel chamber introduces fuel into the interior of the burner body, and a fuel ejection nozzle is located along an outer surface of the central portion of the burner body.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustor comprising a combustor inner-pipe for forming a head combustion chamber and a rear combustion chamber having a diameter larger than a diameter of head combustion chamber. A combustor outer-pipe covers the combustor inner-pipe, and a fuel nozzle is disposed at an end part of the head combustion chamber for supplying fuel to said combustor inner pipe. A first group of ports are arranged for swirling and feeding air in an axial direction of the combustor inner-pipe. The first group of ports are around the fuel nozzle. A second group of ports for swirling and feeding air in a radial direction of said combustor inner-pipe are disposed in a side wall of the head combustion chamber near the fuel nozzle.

Abstract: A combustor of a gas turbine including fuel distributing and supplying means including a plurality of sets of fuel nozzles arranged circularly on the head of the combustor and each fuel nozzle being provided with a combustion primary air swirler, and a plurality of fuel supply systems each connected to one fuel nozzle or a plurality of fuel nozzles. One set of fuel nozzles is located inside another set of fuel nozzles and projects further inwardly into the interior of the combustor. The number of the fuel supply systems handling a supply of fuel can be increased or reduced depending on the volume of fuel.
