Abstract

A turbine rotor can fix the heat resisting pipes provided in divided form per the disk member with simple structure for preventing wearing and damaging. The turbine rotor includes a coolant flow path formed through a plurality of disc shaped members respectively stacked across stacking planes in axial direction, a heat resisting pipe divided into a plurality of fractions adapted to be inserted into a portion of the coolant flow path defined in each disc shaped member, spot facing recesses each formed at opening portion of coolant flow path at the same side of the disc shaped member coaxially with the coolant flow path and having greater inner diameter than the opening portion, and ring shaped projecting portions formed at respective end portions of the fractions of the heat resisting pipe and engageable with respective spot facing recesses.

Claims (17)

1. A turbine rotor comprising:

a coolant flow path formed through a plurality of disc shaped members coupled in an axial direction by means of stacking bolts with a stacking plane disposed between the disc shaped members; and

a heat resisting pipe inserted in the coolant flow path, wherein

the heat resisting pipe has a ring shaped projecting portion; and

the coolant flow path has a spot facing recess portion contacting with the ring shaped projecting portion on the stacking plane of a disc shaped member.

2. An assembling method of a turbine rotor comprises the steps of:

forming a coolant flow path through a plurality of disc shaped members coupled in their axial direction by means of stacking bolts with a stacking plane disposed between the disc shaped members;

providing a spot facing recess portion in a periphery of the coolant flow path;

providing a heat resisting pipe having a ring shaped projecting portion;

inserting the heat resisting pipe in the coolant flow path; and

causing the ring shaped projecting portion to contact the spot facing recess portion of the coolant flow path on the stacking plane of a disc shaped member.

3. A cooling method of a high temperature portion of a turbine rotor comprising the steps of:

forming a coolant flow path through a plurality of disc shaped members coupled in an axial direction by means of stacking bolts with a stacking plane disposed between the disc shaped members;

providing a spot facing recess portion in a periphery of the coolant flow path;

providing a heat resisting pipe having a ring shaped projecting portion;

inserting the heat resistant pipe into the coolant flow path whereby the ring shaped projecting portion of the heat resistant pipe contacts the spot facing recess portion of the flow path on the stacking plane of a disc shaped member; and

supplying a coolant through the coolant flow path in which the heat resistant pipe is inserted.
