Ignition device and gas turbine combustor

A gas turbine combustor to which a working fluid is introduced, the gas turbine combustor comprising:

• a casing;
• a combustor liner provided in the casing;
• a fuel supply part provided on a head portion side of the combustor liner to inject a fuel into the combustor liner;
• an oxidant supply part which injects an oxidant into the combustor liner from around the fuel supply part;
• a working fluid supply part which supplies the working fluid to a space between the casing and the combustor liner;
• a shutoff valve provided on an outer side face of the casing to make the inside of the casing and the outside of the casing communicate with each other or shut off from each other;
• an ignition rod formed of a long rod including a spark discharge portion at a leading end, the ignition rod being capable of advancing to and retreating from the inside of the casing from/to the outside of the combustor liner;
• and
• a driving part which makes the ignition rod advance and retreat,
• wherein the ignition rod is pulled out to an outside of the shutoff valve to the casing when an ignition is finished in the gas turbine combustor, and the shutoff valve makes an inside of the casing and an outside of the casing shut off from each other.
