Abstract

An air-bleed gas turbine includes a compressor; a combustor; a turbine; and an air bleed portion by which compressed air, which is supplied from the compressor to a circular space that surrounds the combustor, is partially supplied to a device outside the air-bleed gas turbine. The air bleed portion includes an air bleed passage that is communicated with an air bleed port which is connected to the device outside the air-bleed gas turbine, and a communication passage that is communicated with the circular space. The air bleed passage is communicated with the circular space through the communication passage. The flow passage area of the communication passage is increased as the distance from the air bleed port increases in the circumferential direction of the circular space.

Claims (19)

1. An air-bleed gas turbine, comprising:

a compressor;

a combustor;

a turbine; and

an air bleed portion by which compressed air, which is supplied from the compressor to a circular space that surrounds the combustor, is partially supplied to an outside of the air-bleed gas turbine,

wherein the air bleed portion comprises an air bleed passage, the air bleed passage is communicated with an air bleed port, and the air bleed passage is communicated with the circular space via a plurality of communication passages; and

wherein a flow passage area of each of the plurality of the communication passages is gradually increased as a distance from the air bleed port increases in a circumferential direction of the circular space.

2. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein a casing that defines the circular space is provided with a duct structural body that has the air bleed port, the air bleed passage, and the plurality of the communication passages.

3. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein:

the air bleed port is formed in a casing that defines the circular space;

the air bleed passage that is communicated with the air bleed port is formed between the casing and a circular partition that is provided inside the casing; and

the circular partition has a plurality of communication holes used as the plurality of the communication passages.

4. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 3 , wherein:

the casing includes a circular projection portion that has the air bleed port, and

the air bleed passage is formed between the circular projection portion and the circular partition.

5. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the air bleed passage is formed as a scroll passage in which a flow rate of the compressed air that flows toward the air bleed port is uniform.

6. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 2 , wherein the air bleed passage is formed as a scroll passage in which a flow rate of the compressed air that flows toward the air bleed port is uniform.

7. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 3 , wherein the air bleed passage is formed as a scroll passage in which a flow rate of the compressed air that flows toward the air bleed port is uniform.

8. The air-bleed gas turbine according to claim 4 , wherein the air bleed passage is formed as a scroll passage in which a flow rate of the compressed air that flows toward the air bleed port is uniform.
