Abstract

Claims (43)

1. A blade ring assembly comprising:

a turbine blade ring that extends in a circumferential direction around an axis;

a cooling target component that is disposed on an inner peripheral side of the turbine blade ring; and

an outer peripheral side component that is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the turbine blade ring,

wherein the turbine blade ring includes a cooling medium intake port leading to an inner peripheral surface of the turbine blade ring from an outer peripheral surface of the turbine blade ring,

the outer peripheral side component includes

a first wall portion that covers at least a portion of the cooling medium intake port from the outer peripheral side of the turbine blade ring and that extends to be closer to an axial downstream side, which is one of two opposite sides in an axial direction in which the axis extends, than the cooling medium intake port is, and

a second wall portion that extends toward the outer peripheral surface of the turbine blade ring from an end portion of the first wall portion on the axial downstream side and that covers at least a portion of a space between the first wall portion and the cooling medium intake port from the axial downstream side,

wherein the outer peripheral side component is an L-shaped pipe formed in an L-like shape,

the L-shaped pipe includes

a first pipe portion that extends in a radial direction of the turbine blade ring from the cooling medium intake port, and

a second pipe portion that extends to a side opposite to the axial downstream side from an end portion of the first pipe portion that is on a side opposite to the turbine blade ring,

the second pipe portion communicates with the first pipe portion and includes an opening portion that is on a side opposite to the first pipe portion,

wherein the L-shaped pipe includes an orifice portion having a flow path area smaller than a flow path area of another portion of the L-shaped pipe, and

wherein the orifice portion is provided to be detachable with respect to the other portion of the L-shaped pipe.

2. The blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the outer peripheral side component further includes a third wall portion that extends toward the outer peripheral surface of the turbine blade ring from an end portion of the first wall portion in the circumferential direction and that covers at least a portion of the space in the circumferential direction.

3. The blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second pipe portion extends toward an axial upstream side, which is one of two opposite sides in the axial direction, from the first pipe portion, and

the opening portion is open toward the axial upstream side.

4. The blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein an inner diameter of the orifice portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the opening portion.

5. The blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the turbine blade ring and the L-shaped pipe are formed of the same material.

6. The blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cooling target component is a stator vane disposed on the inner peripheral side of the turbine blade ring.

7. The blade ring assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising:

an inner peripheral side cover that is attached to the stator vane,

wherein the stator vane includes

a vane body that is disposed in a combustion gas flow path and that has a vane-like shape,

an outer shroud that is provided at an outer peripheral end of the vane body and that includes a first space,

an inner shroud that is provided at an inner peripheral end of the vane body and that includes a second space, and

a cooling medium path that extends from the outer shroud to the inner shroud through the vane body, and

the inner peripheral side cover is attached to the inner shroud and covers at least a portion of the second space from an inner peripheral side of the vane body.

8. A gas turbine comprising:

the blade ring assembly according to claim 1 ;

a rotor that is rotatable around the axis;

a casing that covers an outer peripheral side of the rotor; and

a can-type combustor that generates a combustion gas through combustion of fuel and that sends the combustion gas into the casing,

wherein the blade ring assembly is disposed on an inner peripheral side of the casing, and

the casing includes, as a portion of a wall portion that defines an accommodation chamber in which the blade ring assembly is exposed and a cooling medium flows, a partition wall that is provided closer to the axial downstream side than the cooling medium intake port is and that extends in a radial direction of the turbine blade ring.

9. The gas turbine according to claim 8 ,

wherein the cooling target component included in the blade ring assembly constitutes a first-stage turbine stator vane in the axial direction.
