Abstract: A combustor comprises a liquid fuel nozzle for injecting liquid fuel to a combustion chamber, and an air supply nozzle disposed around the liquid fuel nozzle and injecting air. The air supply nozzle is disposed such that air is injected from the air supply nozzle in a direction toward an axis of the liquid fuel nozzle. A space is formed around an outlet of the liquid fuel nozzle, through which the liquid fuel is injected from the liquid fuel nozzle to the combustion chamber, upstream of a distal end of the outlet in a direction in which the liquid fuel is injected. Carbonaceous deposits on surrounding surfaces of the outlet of the liquid fuel nozzle can be suppressed regardless of the operating conditions of a combustor.

Abstract: A gas turbine which can detect ignition in a combustor regardless of startup conditions of the gas turbine, such as the hot startup or the cold startup. An ignition detecting method for the gas turbine comprises the steps of calculating a difference between the exhaust temperature detected at a particular time before outputting of an ignition command for a combustor and the exhaust temperature detected after the outputting of the ignition command, and determining that the combustor is ignited, when the calculated difference is not less than a predetermined value. As an alternative, the method includes a step of determining that the combustor is ignited, when a change amount or rate of the exhaust temperature exceeds a predetermined value in a predetermined period from the outputting time of the ignition command.
