Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a fuel supply device for gas turbines, and a fuel nozzle and gas turbine having the same. The fuel supply device of present disclosure is mounted to the fuel nozzle for a uniform flow of air introduced thereinto and for allowing uniform mixing with fuel. The present disclosure allows a uniform fuel-air mixture to be supplied to a combustion chamber. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to uniformly supply a fuel-air mixture to a combustion chamber by arranging a plurality of perforated plates in a fuel supply device for gas turbines, to suppress generation of nitrogen oxides, and to prevent flame from stagnating or flowing backward.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fuel supply device for a gas turbine, comprising:
a fuel supply pipe in which fuel flows, the fuel supply pipe defining a central axis;
a first perforated plate disposed around the fuel supply pipe and formed with a first plurality of openings;
a fuel injection unit having a plurality of fuel injection pipes connected to the fuel supply pipe, the plurality of fuel injection pipes being radially arranged around the fuel supply pipe, each of the plurality of fuel injection pipes being formed in a cylindrical shape;
a second perforated plate disposed around the fuel supply pipe and formed with a second plurality of openings;
a third perforated plate disposed around the fuel supply pipe and formed with a third plurality of openings; and
a cover accommodator, the cover accommodator defining a central axis that is the same axis as the fuel supply pipe central axis, the cover accommodator extending along the fuel supply pipe central axis, and the cover accommodator accommodating the first perforated plate, the third perforated plate, the fuel injection unit, and the second perforated plate therein,
wherein the first perforated plate, the third perforated plate, the fuel injection unit and the second perforated plate are spaced apart and positioned from upstream to downstream in the recited order.

2. The fuel supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of openings have different diameters than each other and the second plurality of openings have different diameters each other.

3. The fuel supply device according, to claim 1 , wherein each of the fuel injection pipes is formed with at least one fuel injection hole.

4. The fuel supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of openings are each inclined in a thickness direction of the second perforated plate.

5. The fuel supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of openings are each inclined in a radial direction of the second perforated plate.

6. The fuel supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of openings are each inclined in a tangential direction of the second perforated plate.

7. The fuel supply device according, to claim 1 , wherein the cover accommodator has a fourth plurality of openings formed in a downstream portion of the cover accommodator.

8. The fuel supply device according to claim 7 , wherein the fourth plurality of openings have different diameters than each other.

9. The fuel supply device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover accommodator has a cylindrical shape.

10. A gas turbine comprising:
a compressor to compress air introduced thereinto;
a combustor to mix compressed air supplied from the compressor with fuel for combustion; and
a turbine rotated by gas combusted in the combustor to generate power, wherein the combustor comprises a combustion chamber and at least one fuel nozzle mounted in the combustion chamber,
wherein the fuel nozzle comprises:
the fuel supply device of claim 1 .
