  • Publication number: 20040009059
    Abstract: A stationary blade of a gas turbine, which can reduce thermal stress produced at a portion in the vicinity of a rear edge of an inner shroud of the stationary blade. The stationary blade is positioned adjacent to at least one of moving-blade disks in an axial direction of the gas turbine. A concave portion is provided in the inner shroud in a manner such that the concave portion is formed in the vicinity of a rear edge of the inner shroud and on an inner-peripheral face of the inner shroud, where cooling air passes along the inner-peripheral face which faces a rotation shaft of the moving-blade disks; and a protruding portion which protrudes towards the rotation shaft is formed at the rear edge of the inner shroud.

  • Publication number: 20040009066
    Abstract: A turbine blade applicable to a gas turbine has a turbine blade body having film cooling holes, the interior space of which is partitioned into two cavities by a rib. Hollow inserts each having impingement holes are respectively arranged in the cavities to form cooling spaces therebetween. Communication is ensured between the cavities by a communication means, so that the impingement cooling is interrupted with respect to the prescribed side having a good heat transmission in the turbine blade body. A partition wall is further arranged between the rib and the insert arranged in the trailing-edge side, thus providing a separation between the cooling spaces respectively arranged in the rear side and front side. Thus, it is possible to noticeably reduce the amount of cooling air in the turbine blade body; and it is possible to reduce temperature differences entirely over the turbine blade body as small as possible.
