Patent ID: 11149951

Abstract:
In a combustor including a plurality of combustion nozzles, and a gas turbine including the same, fuel can be uniformly mixed with compressed air for each combustion nozzle. The combustor includes a plurality of combustion nozzles arranged in a nozzle casing, and each combustion nozzle includes a nozzle shroud for taking in compressed air; an injection cylinder concentrically disposed in the nozzle shroud and configured to be supplied with fuel for mixing with the compressed air; and a plurality of swirlers circumferentially arranged around the injection cylinder and configured to inject the fuel from the injection cylinder into the shroud. The plurality of swirlers divide an interior space of the nozzle shroud into a plurality of fluid flow regions, and include a pair of adjacent swirlers spaced apart from each other by a circumferential distance that differs from a circumferential distance between another pair of adjacent swirlers.
