Abstract: A gas turbine combustor has homogenous air inflow by elimination of turbulence from the air, reducing combustion instability. A combustor 3 has, at its center, a pilot nozzle 8 and eight main nozzles 7 around the pilot nozzle 8. The air flows in around the individual nozzles 7 and 8 to the leading end of the combustor 3 so that it is used for combustion.

Pilot fuel nozzle unit 104 comprises a plurality of pilot fuel nozzles 103. A plurality of main premixing nozzles 102 are disposed on a coaxial circumference of the pilot fuel nozzle unit 104. The pilot fuel nozzles 103 are arranged irregularly in a circumferential direction of the pilot fuel nozzle unit 104, so as to form portion 105 where there is no pilot fuel nozzle 103. Premature in the main premixing nozzles 102 positioned corresponding to the pilot fuel nozzle 103 burns with comparatively short flames. Premature in the main premixing nozzles 102 positioned corresponding to the portion 105 of no pilot fuel nozzle 103 burns with long flames because of flames spreading from adjacent main fuel nozzles.

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 mechanism for cooling the platform for the drive blades of a gas turbine uses a simple configuration which reliably cools the platform. The mechanism includes cooling channels in the interior of the platform which open out from one of the cooling air channels for cooling the turbine blades and which exit the platform through the edge nearest the tail. Cooling channels in the platform open out from the entrance to blade cooling channels, travel from the head of the blade along the blade sides, and exit through the edge near the tail of the blade. This structure diverts a portion of the cooling air entering the blade from the cooling channel in the base in order to cool the platform. Cooling air channels may extend from an enclosed air space below the platform to the upper surface of the platform at the front or rear side of the blade. Air channels may also extend on the rear of the turbine blade obliquely from the underside of the platform to the trailing edge of the platform.
