US Patent 8490744 Combustor and gas turbine having the same

An object is to provide a combustor that requires a small mounting space for an acoustic damper, that can achieve size reduction, and that can improve the ease of maintenance. A combustor (5) of the present invention includes a combustion cylinder (19) that defines a combustion area (23) therein and an acoustic damper (31) that has a damper cover having an acoustic-damper resonance space communicating with the combustion area (23). The damper cover is provided along the combustion cylinder (19) so as to extend in a direction intersecting an axial direction (L) of the combustion cylinder (19).
