  • Patent number: 11913341
    Abstract: In a clearance control system for a gas turbine, a control device operates an adjustment device such that a first flow rate is greater than a second flow rate when a load stable state is entered in which a fluctuation range of a load shifts within a preset range, and operates the adjustment device such that the second flow rate is greater than the first flow rate when a load fluctuation state is entered in which the load falls outside the range.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2024
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.

  • Patent number: 9512781
    Abstract: In a cooling structure for a recovery-type air-cooled gas turbine combustor having a recovery-type air-cooling structure that bleeds, upstream of the combustor, and pressurizes compressed air supplied from a compressor, that uses the bled and pressurized air to cool a wall, and that recovers and reuses the bled and pressurized air as combustion air for burning fuel in the combustor together with a main flow of the compressed air, wall cooling in which cooling air is supplied to cooling air passages formed in the wall of the combustor to perform cooling involves a downstream wall region, closer to a turbine, that is cooled using the bled and pressurized air as the cooling air and an upstream wall region, closer to a burner, that is cooled using, as the cooling air, bled compressed air bled from a main flow of the compressed air through a housing inner space.
