  • Patent number: 10876478
    Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for a gas turbine includes a fuel supply pipe; a first manifold connected to the fuel supply pipe and comprising a nozzle through which fuel is sprayed; a second manifold at least partially surrounding the first manifold at a predetermined interval apart from the first manifold in a radial direction, the second manifold including: an air inlet through which a first portion of air is introduced into the second manifold; and a fuel outlet where the fuel sprayed through the nozzle collides with the air thereby forming mixed fuel; and a first swirler provided at a predetermined interval apart from the second manifold in the radial direction, the first swirler configured to swirl the air toward the air inlet and the fuel outlet.

  • Patent number: 9500134
    Abstract: Provided is a gas turbine including: a first compressor which compresses air; a mixer which adds the compressed air from the first compressor to fuel and generates a fuel mixture; a combustor which combusts the generated fuel mixture from the mixer; a plurality of flow meters which adjusts an amount of the air or the fuel injected into the mixer; and a control unit which maintains the Wobbe Index of the fuel mixture within a predetermined Wobbe Index range.
