Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas turbine cooled moving blade in order to cool the gas turbine using steam alone. In the moving blade, two cavities are installed in the lower part of the moving blade root section of the moving blade, a steam inlet is located in one cavity, and a steam outlet is installed in the other cavity. Steam is charged from the steam inlet and passes through a serpentine cooling passage consisting of a plurality of steam passages, and discharged to the steam outlet and collected. Bypasses are located near the base of the moving blade in the middle of each steam passage, so that cold steam on the leading edge side can be led into the bypass, mixed with the hot steam which comes from the tip section side and goes into the next downstream section of the steam passage, and flows to an upstream portion of the steam passage, thereby equalizing the steam temperature and cooling the steam over the entire range from the upstream to downstream of the steam flow.

Abstract: A gas turbine rotating blade comprises a serpentine passage provided in the blade width direction in plural rows in a blade profile portion except the portion near the trailing edge having a small blade thickness, a steam cooling passage provided around the outer periphery of a platform, an air passage provided in the blade width direction in the vicinity of the trailing edge of blade profile portion, an impingement plate provided under the platform on the inside of the steam cooling passage, slot holes formed so as to branch off from the air passage and be directed to the trailing edge, and slits formed in the platform above the impingement plate. Therefore, the blade profile portion is cooled by the steam passing through the serpentine passage and the air passing through the air passage, so that the cooling construction is not complicated, and cooling is performed effectively. For the platform, the outer periphery thereof is cooled by steam and the inside thereof by air effectively.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooled shroud in a gas turbine stationary blade which is able to flow a cooling air in the entire area of an inner shroud for cooling thereof. Three stationary blades are fixed to the inner shroud 2, a cover 13, 14 is provided to form a space 21 and space 22a, 22b and 22c, respectively. The cooling air is introduced through an independent air passage 3A of a leading edge of each stationary blade into the spaces 22a, 22b and 22c and is flown therefrom through a tunnel 18 and air reservoirs 19-2, 19-3 and 19-4 to be blown out of a trailing edge while cooling surfaces of the shrouds and the trailing edges. Also, a portion of the cooling air from the space 22b is flown into the space 21 through a tunnel 11, a leading edge side passage 12 and an endmost tunnel 11 and is then blown out of the trailing edge through a tunnel 18 and an air reservoir 19-1, so that the leading edge portion, the endmost portion and the endmost trailing edge portion are cooled.

Abstract: A gas turbine moving blade steam cooling system in which leakage of steam for cooling a moving blade is prevented and thermal stress at a blade root end portion is mitigated. Each end portion of a blade root portion (3) of the moving blade (1) is projected so as to form a projection portions (4a, 4b). A steam passage 5 is provided between the projection portions (4a, 4b) and a steam supply port 5a and a steam recovery port (5b) are provided downwardly with the respect to the steam passage 5. The steam supply port (5a) connects to a steam supply passage (20) and the steam recovery port (5b) connects to a steam recovery passage (21). Steam is supplied from the steam supply port (5a) into a blade interior and is recovered through the steam recovery port (5b). Side surface seal plates (6, 7 and 8) are provided for preventing steam leakage.

Abstract: A gas turbine shroud and platform seal system, which is constructed so that the flow of sealing air does not disturb a combustion gas flow, and thus any aerodynamic loss is reduced. The leaking air (60) leaks from between a platform (2) of moving blade (1) and an inside shroud (12) in a stationary blade (11). At a front or upstream side of the moving blade (1), the leaking air (60) flows along a S-shaped path within a space (8, 17) formed by a projecting end portion (12b) of the shroud, a honeycomb seal (14) and a projecting portion (4) of the platform. The air eventually flows out in the same flow direction as that of the combustion gas (50) along a surface of the platform (2). At a rear side of the moving blade (1), the leaking air (60) flows along an S-shaped path within a space (6, 9) formed by a projecting end portion (2b) of the platform, a projecting end portion (12b) of the shroud, a honeycomb seal (13) and a seal plate (3).
