Abstract

A gas turbine provided with an air bleeder tube ( 1 ) that, during startup, bleeds a portion of the compressed air of a compressor from the compressor and discharged the bled air into a cylindrical exhaust duct ( 20 ), wherein the air bleeder tube ( 1 ) is disposed at a portion that does not obstruct the flow of the main flow of combustion gas.

Claims (9)

1. A gas turbine comprising:

a compressor;

an air bleeder tube;

a first exhaust duct; and

a second exhaust duct, wherein

a portion of compressed air is bled from said compressor at a startup timing and said compressed air is discharged into said second exhaust duct through said air bleeder tube, said gas turbine characterized in that

a main flow of combustion gas is not obstructed by an arrangement of said air bleeder tube, and

said first exhaust duct is a cylindrical shape,

said second exhaust duct of which a rectangular cross section is positioned downstream from said first exhaust duct such that said second exhaust duct receives all of said combustion gas from said first exhaust duct and said air bleeder tube is arranged at a corner of an inlet end of said second exhaust duct.
