Abstract

A gas turbine facility 10 of an embodiment includes: a combustor 20 ; a cylinder 80 dividing a space between a combustor casing 70 and the combustor 20 ; and a turbine 25 rotated by a combustion gas exhausted from the combustor 20 . The gas turbine facility 10 includes: a heat exchanger 24 which cools the combustion gas; a pipe 42 through which a part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger 24 passes in the heat exchanger 24 to be heated and is guided to a space between the combustor 20 and the cylinder 80 ; a pipe 44 which guides another part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger 24 to a space between the combustor casing 70 and the cylinder 80 ; and a pipe 45 which exhausts a remaining part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger 24 to the outside.

Claims (10)

1. A gas turbine facility comprising:

a combustor provided in a casing to combust a fuel and an oxidant, the combustor having a fuel nozzle part, a combustor liner and a transition piece, the fuel nozzle part being provided at an upstream-side end portion of the combustor liner, the transition piece being connected to a downstream-side end portion of the combustor liner;

a cylinder dividing a space between the casing and the combustor into a first space and a second space, the cylinder being provided along a longitudinal direction of the combustor, the cylinder extending in the longitudinal direction to a position that is upstream to the upstream-side end portion of the combustor liner, the cylinder extending in the longitudinal direction to a position of a downstream-side end portion of the transition piece, an upstream-side end portion of the cylinder, which is upstream from the upstream-side end portion of the combustor liner, being connected to an inner peripheral surface of the casing;

a turbine configured to be rotated by and exhaust a combustion gas from the combustor;

a heat exchanger configured to cool the combustion gas exhausted from the turbine to form a cooled combustion gas and heat a first part of the cooled combustion gas;

a first combustion gas supply pipe which guides the first part of the cooled combustion gas heated in the heat exchanger to the first space, the first space being interposed between the combustor and the cylinder;

a second combustion gas supply pipe which guides a second part of the cooled combustion gas, which is cooled in the heat exchanger, to the second space, the second space being interposed between the casing and the cylinder, a temperature of the second part of the cooled combustion gas guided by the second combustion gas supply pipe being lower than a temperature of the first part of the cooled combustion gas heated in the heat exchanger guided by the first combustion gas supply pipe; and

an exhaust pipe which exhausts a remaining third part of the cooled combustion gas to an outside.

2. The gas turbine facility according to claim 1 , wherein the casing is constituted by an upstream-side casing and a downstream-side casing, and the first combustion gas supply pipe and the second combustion gas supply pipe are coupled to the upstream-side casing.

3. The gas turbine facility according to claim 2 , wherein the first combustion gas supply pipe is coupled to the upstream-side casing more upstream than the second combustion gas supply pipe.
