Abstract

A transition structure between a combustor and a turbine in a gas turbine includes: a transition piece including a duct and a flange protruding from a downstream end of the duct; and a piece cover surrounding the duct. The piece cover includes a boss that is fixed to the turbine by a bolt in a state where the flange is sandwiched between the boss and the turbine.

Claims (24)

1. A transition structure between a combustor and a turbine in a gas turbine, the transition structure comprising:

a transition piece including a duct and a flange protruding from a downstream end of the duct; and

a piece cover surrounding the duct, wherein

the piece cover includes a boss that is fixed to the turbine by a bolt in a state where the flange is sandwiched between the boss and the turbine, the boss being in contact with the turbine over the flange, and

the turbine includes:

a turbine nozzle including a nozzle flange;

a nozzle support that supports the nozzle flange; and

an adapter interposed between the nozzle flange and the flange of the transition piece such that the adapter is in surface contact with the nozzle flange and the flange of the transition piece, and interposed between the nozzle support and the boss such that the adapter is in surface contact with the nozzle support and the boss, the adapter being ring-shaped around a central axis of the turbine.

2. The transition structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the bolt penetrates the nozzle support and the adapter.

3. The transition structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the flange of the transition piece is positioned upstream of an arc-shaped outlet of the duct,

the adapter faces an arc wall of the duct, the arc wall being positioned at an external diameter side or an internal diameter side of the arc-shaped outlet, and

the adapter is provided with a cooling hole that penetrates the adapter in a radial direction.

4. The transition structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the flange of the transition piece is at least one of an outer flange and an inner flange, the outer flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an external diameter side of an arc-shaped outlet of the duct, the inner flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an internal diameter side of the arc-shaped outlet.

5. The transition structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the flange of the transition piece is positioned upstream of an arc-shaped outlet of the duct,

the adapter faces an arc wall of the duct, the arc wall being positioned at an external diameter side or an internal diameter side of the arc-shaped outlet, and

the adapter is provided with a cooling hole that penetrates the adapter in a radial direction.

6. The transition structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the flange of the transition piece is at least one of an outer flange and an inner flange, the outer flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an external diameter side of an arc-shaped outlet of the duct, the inner flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an internal diameter side of the arc-shaped outlet.

7. The transition structure according to claim 3 , wherein

the flange of the transition piece is at least one of an outer flange and an inner flange, the outer flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an external diameter side of an arc-shaped outlet of the duct, the inner flange protruding from the downstream end of the duct to an internal diameter side of the arc-shaped outlet.
