Abstract

The invention provides a production process of a gas turbine capable of being applied to various cycles. A principal part of a gas turbine is set in advance based on roughly set conditions, and the number of stages of a compressor and the number of stages of a turbine, which can provide conditions suitable for a desired cycle, are set based on the set principal part. The compressor and the turbine each having the set number of stages and included in the principal part are combined with each other to construct the gas turbine. When the set number of stages of the compressor or the turbine differs among a plurality of desired cycles, a substantially disk-shaped member having an outer periphery, which forms an inner peripheral wall of a substantially annular flow passage of the compressor or the turbine, is assembled into the cycle having a smaller number of stages so that the bearing-to-bearing distance is kept constant in the gas turbine operated in the plurality of desired cycles.

Claims (3)

1. A process of manufacturing a gas turbine comprised of a compressor for compressing atmospheric air and generating compressed air, a combustor for mixing and combusting the compressed air and fuel and generating combustion gas, and a turbine driven with the combustion gas, said compressor, said combustor and said turbine each being constructed of a plurality of elements designed according to necessary parameters, the process comprising the steps of:

setting values of the parameters of elements, which are used in common in various power generation cycles, from among the plurality of elements of said gas turbine, and constructing the common elements based on the set values of the parameters, and

setting a value of at least one of a combustion temperature and a pressure ratio utilized in design of the common elements different from values of the combustion temperature and the pressure ratio in the desired power generation cycle of the gas turbine to be manufactured, and constructing said gas turbine using the designed common elements which are adapted for a power generation cycle of the gas turbine manufactured.
