Abstract

A gas turbine facility 10 in an embodiment includes: a combustor 20 ; a fuel nozzle 21 ; a turbine 22 ; a heat exchanger 24 cooling the combustion gas. The gas turbine facility 10 includes: a pipe 42 guiding a part of the cooled combustion gas to an oxidant supply pipe; a pipe 44 passing a mixed gas composed of the oxidant and the combustion gas through the heat exchanger 24 to heat it, and guising it to the fuel nozzle 21 ; a pipe 40 passing another part of the cooled combustion gas through the heat exchanger 24 to heat it, and guiding it to the combustor 20 ; a pipe 45 passing still another part of the cooled combustion gas through the heat exchanger 24 to heat it, and guiding it to the fuel nozzle 21 ; and a pipe 46 exhausting a remaining part of the cooled combustion gas.

Claims (25)

1. A gas turbine facility, comprising:

a combustor combusting fuel and oxidant;

a fuel nozzle attached to the combustor;

a turbine rotated by a combustion gas exhausted from the combustor;

a heat exchanger cooling the combustion gas exhausted from the turbine;

a first combustion gas supply pipe guiding a part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger to an oxidant supply pipe supplying the oxidant;

a mixed gas supply pipe passing a mixed gas composed of the oxidant and the combustion gas guided by the first combustion gas supply pipe through the heat exchanger to heat the mixed gas, and guiding the heated mixed gas to the fuel nozzle;

a second combustion gas supply pipe passing another part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger through the heat exchanger to heat the another part of the combustion gas, and guiding the heated another part of the combustion gas to the combustor;

a third combustion gas supply pipe passing still another part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger through the heat exchanger to heat the still another part of the combustion gas, and guiding the heated still another part of the combustion gas to the fuel nozzle; and

an exhaust pipe exhausting a remaining part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger to an outside,

wherein the fuel nozzle includes

a center flow path jetting the fuel into the combustor;

a first periphery flow path formed on an outer periphery of the center flow path and jetting the combustion gas guided by the third combustion gas supply pipe into the combustor; and

a second periphery flow path formed on an outer periphery of the first periphery flow path and jetting the mixed gas into the combustor, and

wherein the oxidant included in the jetted mixed gas and the jetted fuel react in a reaction zone, and the reaction zone is formed in a downstream axial direction of an edge of the first periphery flow path in the combustor.

2. The gas turbine facility according to claim 1 ,

wherein the fuel is a hydrocarbon gas, a liquid fuel, or a coal gasification gas, and the oxidant is oxygen.

3. The gas turbine facility according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a water vapor remover provided just after the heat exchanger, the water vapor remover removing water vapor from the combustion gas which is discharged from the turbine and is cooled through the heat exchanger.

4. The gas turbine facility according to claim 3 ,

wherein the combustion gas passed through the water vapor remover is carbon dioxide.

5. The gas turbine facility according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a water vapor remover provided just after the heat exchanger, the water vapor remover removing water vapor from the combustion gas which is discharged from the turbine and is cooled through the heat exchanger.

6. The gas turbine facility according to claim 5 ,

wherein the combustion gas passed through the water vapor remover is carbon dioxide.
