  • Patent number: 11060730
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for a gas turbine combustor includes a pilot fuel injector disposed on an axis of the fuel injection device; an annular main fuel injector encircling the pilot fuel injector; and a plurality of main fuel injection holes formed in the main fuel injector and spaced circumferentially from each other for injecting fuel axially rearward. The main fuel injector includes an annular fuel passage forming portion, an inner ring portion on an inner peripheral side of the fuel passage forming portion, and an outer ring portion on an outer peripheral side of the fuel passage forming portion. One of a space between the fuel passage forming portion and the inner ring portion and a space between the fuel passage forming portion and the outer ring portion forms a pilot fuel supply passage, and the other one forms a main fuel supply passage.
