  • Patent number: 6616405
    Abstract: In a cooling structure for a gas turbine, cooling air diffusion holes are formed from inner surface to outer surface of a platform so as to open from high pressure side blade surface of a moving blade offset in a direction toward low pressure side blade surface of adjacent moving blade confronting the high pressure side blade surface, in a direction of primary flow.

  • Patent number: 6602048
    Abstract: In the gas turbine split ring, on an outer peripheral surface 1b between two cabin attachment flanges, a circumferential rib which extends in the circumferential direction and an axial rib which extends in the axial direction and has a height taller than that of the circumferential rib are, respectively, formed in plural lines, so that it is possible to suppress heat deformation in the axial direction which largely contributes to reduction of the tip clearance compared to head deformation in the circumferential direction more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 6481967
    Abstract: A gas turbine moving blade is provided which prevents occurrence of cracks caused by thermal stresses due to temperature differences between a blade and a platform while the gas turbine is being stopped. During steady operation time of the moving blade, cooling air enters cooling passages to flow through other cooling passages for cooling the blade, and then to flow out of the blade. A recessed portion having a smooth curved surface is provided in the platform near a blade fitting portion on the blade trailing edge side. A fillet of the blade fitting portion on the blade trailing edge side has a curved surface with curvature larger than that of a conventional blade fitting portion. A hub slot below the fillet, for blowing air, has a cross sectional area larger than other slots of the blade trailing edge. A thermal barrier coating is applied to the blade surface.

  • Publication number: 20020106276
    Abstract: A base plate and honeycomb member disposed at the inner circumference side of an inside shroud are fixed to the inside shroud, at a phase deviation in the peripheral direction, with respect to the inside shroud, so as to plug the missing range of seal member, out of gaps between adjacent inside shrouds, and therefore leak of purge air from the missing range of seal member is prevented without adding new constituent members.

  • Publication number: 20020090296
    Abstract: The division wall is made up of a plurality of division wall sections forming a passage wall of high temperature gas which are connected in the direction of arrangement of blades to form a wall surface having a roughly circular cross section as a whole, a gas flow restricting structure for preventing high temperature gas from passing through a gap formed at a connecting portion between the division wall sections in the flow direction of the high temperature gas from the opening on the upstream side of the high temperature gas in the gap, or a gas flow restricting structure for preventing the high temperature gas from being embraced in the gap, for example, a sealing member formed into a prism having a T-shape cross section as a whole composed of a plane portion as a sealing portion and a projected portion for filling the gap is provided.

  • Publication number: 20010016163
    Abstract: Gas turbine moving blade is improved so as to prevent occurrence of cracks caused by thermal stresses due to temperature differences between blade and platform when gas turbine is stopped. In steady operation time of moving blade (20), cooling air (40 to 43) enters cooling passages (23 to 26) to flow through cooling passages (23a, 24a to 24c, 25a to 25c) for cooling the blade (20) to then flow out of the blade (20). Recessed portion (1) having smooth curved surface is provided in platform (22) near blade fitting portion on blade trailing edge side. Fillet (R) of the blade fitting portion on the blade trailing edge side is formed with curved surface having curvature larger than conventional case. Hub slot below the fillet (R) for blowing air is formed having slot cross sectional area larger than other slots of blade trailing edge. TBC is applied to blade (20) surface.
