  • Publication number: 20070065283
    Abstract: A gas turbine rotor blade capable of effectively reducing creep damage by forming a cooling through hole to cool a target area in which significant creep damage of a shroud cover is predicted based on analysis of stress and temperature acting on the gas turbine rotor blade. A gas turbine using the rotor blade, and a power plant using the gas turbine are also provided. The gas turbine rotor blade includes a blade section provided with a shroud cover at an outer peripheral end thereof, and a platform, a shank and a dovetail which are formed in integral structure to successively continue from the blade section. An inner cooling hole is formed to penetrate through the gas turbine rotor blade from the dovetail to the shroud cover. The shroud cover has a cooling through hole formed to open in an outer surface of the shroud cover and extend in communication with the inner cooling hole.

  • Publication number: 20060271553
    Abstract: Documents used for process control can be managed and maintained from a document server and a terminal. In order to update the documents quickly so that an operated process is always kept in the most preferable state of operation, the document server stores and manages production documents used for actually controlling and monitoring a control system plant, whereas the terminal system is used to refer and edit plant documents. The terminal can synchronize contents of the plant documents in the document server with those in the control system before storing the synchronized plant documents in the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20050193738
    Abstract: In a gas turbine plant and a gas turbine power generator plant, as a device of reducing the heat transfer from the gas turbine to the compressor, for instance, an air flow path for circulating part of compressed air from the compressor toward the gas turbine is formed between the gas turbine and the compressor. With the air flow path, which is a heat transfer reducing device, the heat conducted from the gas turbine to the compressor can be reduced by cooling or interception, and accordingly the temperature on the compressor side does not rise high, making it possible to prevent the performance of the compressor from deteriorating.

  • Patent number: 6636813
    Abstract: A life management system for high-temperature parts of a gas turbine has one server system 3 and a plurality of client systems 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d, all of which are connected via an Intranet. Further, the server system 3 manages a program for performing evaluation of the remaining life and the life management, and each of the client systems 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d has a subprogram for accessing the database 4 and for entering data respectively. The clients are dedicated to different objects and share respective element data such as real component damage, design, materials, etc. which are necessary for the evaluation of the remaining life. Further, this system enables the operation of the gas turbine to be optimized based on the damage of the evaluated parts, hence contributing to operational cost reduction of the gas turbine.
