Abstract: A split ring is disposed on an inner wall of a gas turbine casing. The split ring is composed of a plurality of split segments that are arranged on the inner wall of the casing in circumferential direction. A predetermined clearance is formed between the inner face of a split segment and the rotor blade tips. The split segments are arranged so that a predetermined circumferential clearance is formed between the split segments in order to allow the thermal expansion of the segments. A circumferential end face located upstream side of the segments with respect to the direction of the rotor blade rotation is connected to the inner face by a transition face having a surface formed as an inclined plane. The inclined plane prevents the swirl flow caused by the rotating rotor blade from impinging the upstream end face and, thereby, suppresses a temperature rise of the split segment at the upstream end face.

Abstract: Gas turbine system is constructed such that no fuel gas compressor is used and a turbine is operated at low temperature so that a life of the system is elongated and the safety is enhanced. Air compressed at a compressor (11) of about 200° C. enters a heat exchanger (12) to be heated by combustion gas to about 760 to 900° C. to enter the turbine (13) and to work to rotate a generator (15). Exhaust air of the turbine (13) of which temperature is lowered to about 500 to 750° C. is supplied into a combustor (14) for fuel combustion to generate high temperature combustion gas of about 800 to 950° C. This combustion gas enters the heat exchanger (12) to heat the air from the compressor (11). The air is heated by the high temperature combustion gas with no fuel gas compressor being used and the turbine is operated by the lower temperature air as compared with a conventional case. Hence, the system is made less expensive, the life is elongated and the safety is enhanced.

Abstract: A combined cycle plant includes a heat exchanger (3) for recovering heat into compressed air or gas turbine fuel to be supplied into gas turbine (01). The plant is arranged such that steam is used as high temperature side working medium of the heat exchanger (3). Thus, the heating medium supply passage can be made of ordinary steam piping and piping cost is reduced. Also, gas turbine exhaust gas is led directly into a waste heat recovery boiler (02), so that gas turbine efficiency and combined efficiency can be enhanced and plant manufacturing cost is reduced.

Abstract: The invention provides a gas turbine combined cycle structured such that an intermediate cooling device for cooling a compression air discharged from a low pressure compressor, so as to reduce a load of a high pressure compressor, is provided. The gas turbine combined cycle in accordance with the invention is structured such as to branch water from a condenser to a steam generating device for generating steam. Exhaust gas discharged from a steam turbine is condensed to water. Compression air discharged from a low pressure compressor is cooled by being supplied to an intermediate cooling device, and is then supplied to a high pressure compressor. Steam which heats and operates the steam turbine is generated by the heat recovered by the cooling of the compression air in the intermediate cooling device. Accordingly, there can be obtained a gas turbine combined cycle having the advantage of the conventional intermediate cooling type gas turbine combined cycle, but exhibiting an improved combined efficiency.

Abstract: A combined cycle power plant includes a combination of a gas turbine plant and steam turbine plant. The gas turbine cooling steam temperature is adjusted appropriately so that the gas turbine can be made of easily obtainable material. Steam supplied from the intermediate pressure evaporator is mixed into the cooling steam supply passage for supplying therethrough exhaust steam from the high pressure steam turbine into the gas turbine high temperature portion as cooling steam. Thus, cooling steam temperature is lowered without lowering of the entire efficiency, and material of less heat resistant ability becomes usable as material forming the gas turbine high temperature portion to be cooled. Thus, design and manufacture of the gas turbine may be satisfied by less expensive and easily obtainable material.

Abstract: In a combined cycle power plant, exhaust from a high pressure turbine is branched so that part of it is supplied to a steam cooling system, and the other part of it is supplied to an inlet of a reheater of an exhaust heat recovery boiler. The exhaust supplied to the steam cooling system performs predetermined cooling and becomes heated. Then, the heated exhaust is guided from an outlet of the steam cooling system to an intermediate position of the reheater, merged with the exhaust supplied to the inlet of the reheater, and temperature-adjusted in the reheater. Then, the reheated, combined steam is supplied to a downstream turbine for heat recovery. Thus, a safe, reliable steam cooling system is achieved by effectively using a sufficient amount of high pressure turbine exhaust.
