Claim:
1. A combustion burner comprising: a fuel nozzle; a burner tube that surrounds the fuel nozzle to form an air passage between the burner tube and the fuel nozzle; a plurality of swirler vanes being arranged in a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction on an external circumferential surface of the fuel nozzle, each of which extends along an axial direction of the fuel nozzle, and gradually curves from upstream to downstream so as to swirl air flowing in the air passage from the upstream to the downstream; a liquid fuel injecting hole that is formed on the fuel nozzle, and from which a liquid fuel is injected to a vane pressure surface of each of the plurality of swirler vanes; and a cooling unit that cools a part of the vane pressure surface on which the liquid fuel hits; wherein the cooling unit includes multi-purpose injecting holes that are respectively arranged on the vane pressure surface of each of the plurality of swirler vanes, the multi-purpose injecting holes being configured to receive injected gas fuel during gas combustion, and being configured to receive water injected to the vane pressure surface of the plurality of swirler vanes during combustion of the liquid fuel.
