BLADE COOLING AIR SUPPLYING SYSTEM OF GAS TURBINE

摘要

In the present invention, an air pipe extends through a stationary blade between outer and inner shrouds. Further, an air passage is directed to a lower portion of the stationary blade and is communicated with the air pipe so that a serpentine cooling passage is formed. The air enters a cavity from the air passage and is discharged to a gas passage through an air hole, a passage and a seal. Thus, the cavity is sealed at a high pressure. Cooling air is supplied from the air passage to a rotating blade through a cooling air hole, a cooling air chamber, a radial hole and a lower portion of a platform. The stationary blade is cooled by the air through the air passage. The cooling air can be supplied to the rotating blade at a low temperature and a high pressure as they are. Accordingly, the air can be also supplied to the rotating blade when a rotor is cooled by vapor.
