Abstract: A fuel control method for a gas turbine with a combustor being formed of at least two groups of a pluralities of main nozzles for supplying fuel, and that supplies fuel from the main nozzles of all groups upon ignition of the combustor (S1), and supplies fuel from three main nozzles of a group A during subsequent acceleration of the gas turbine (S3). Because fuel is injected from a small number of the main nozzles during acceleration, the fuel flow rate per one main nozzle is increased, thereby increasing the fuel-air ratio (fuel flow rate/air flow rate) in a combustion region and improving the combustion characteristics. Accordingly, the generation of carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbon is reduced, whereby no bypass valve is required and manufacturing costs are reduced.

Abstract: A premixed combustion burner for a gas turbine can efficiently premix fuel and air to produce fuel gas having a uniform concentration, while reliably achieving prevention of flash back by making the flow rate of fuel gas substantially uniform. The premixed combustion burner for a gas turbine has a fuel nozzle, a burner cylinder arranged so as to surround the fuel nozzle and form an air passageway between itself and the fuel nozzle, and swirler vanes that are arranged along an axial direction of the fuel nozzle in a plurality of positions around the circumferential direction of an outer circumference surface of the fuel nozzle. The swirler vanes gradually curve from an upstream side to a downstream side to spin the air traveling within the air passageway from the upstream side to the downstream side. A cutaway section is provided in a rear edge section on an inner circumference side of the swirler vanes.

Abstract: A fuel nozzle 110 having a plurality of swirl vane 130 on an outer peripheral surface thereof is installed within a burner tube 120, with a clearance 121 being provided. Each swirl vane 130 progressively curves from an upstream side toward a downstream side (inclines along a circumferential direction) in order to swirl compressed air A flowing through an air passage 111 to form a swirl air flow a. Here, curvature of each swirl vane 130 is greater on its outer peripheral side than on its inner peripheral side. By suppressing occurrence of an air streamline heading from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side, therefore, flow velocity on the inner peripheral side and flow velocity on the outer peripheral side become equal, thus preventing flashback on the inner peripheral side.
