Abstract

A cooling system of ring segment is provided with: a collision plate that has a plurality of small holes; a cooling space that is enclosed by the collision plate and a main body of the segment body; a first cavity that arranged is the upstream end portion of the segment body in the flow direction of the combustion gas so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction of a rotating shaft; a first cooling passage that communicates from the cooling space to the first cavity; and a second cooling passage that communicates from the first cavity to a fire combustion gas d gas space in the downstream end portion of the segment body in the flow direction of the combustion gas.

Claims (29)

1. A cooling system of ring segment that is formed from a plurality of segment bodies that are arranged in the circumferential direction to form a ring shape, and that cools a ring segment of a gas turbine that is arranged in a casing so that the inner peripheral surface is kept a fixed distance from the tips of turbine blades, the cooling system comprising:

a cooling space that is enclosed by the casing and a main body of the segment body;

a first cavity that is arranged in the upstream end portion of the segment body in the flow direction of the combustion gas so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction of a rotating shaft;

a first cooling passage that communicates from the cooling space to the first cavity; and

second cooling passages that are provided in a position of the segment body other than a side end portion on the downstream and upstream of the segment body in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft, and communicate from the first cavity to a combustion gas space in a downstream end face, wherein the downstream end face is provided in a downstream end portion of the segment body in the flow direction of the combustion gas and faces toward the downstream side of the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and all of the second cooling passages are arranged in the circumferential direction of the segment body with respect to the rotation direction of the rotating shaft,

wherein a cooling air all of which passes from the first cavity to the second cooling passages and ejected in the combustion gas space from the second cooling passages.

2. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cooling passage and the second cooling passages have a structure of turning back in the axial direction of the rotating shaft in the first cavity, and

the second cooling passages pass the main body of the segment body in the axial direction of the rotating shaft from the first cavity.

3. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cooling passage and the second cooling passages each is arranged in a plurality in an annular shape with respect to the rotation direction of the rotating shaft, and is arranged so as to be mutually parallel in the radial direction.

4. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cooling passage and the second cooling passages are arranged in a plurality in an annular shape with respect to the rotation direction of the rotating shaft, and the first cooling passage is arranged sloping in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft with respect to the second cooling passages.

5. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the first cooling passage has a shorter length than the second cooling passages and, at the upstream end portion of the segment body in the flow direction of the combustion gas, is disposed further to the outer circumferential surface side of the main body of the segment body than the second cooling passages.

6. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the hole diameter of the second cooling passages is smaller than the hole diameter of the first cooling passage.

7. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , wherein

the hole pitch of the second cooling passages in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft is smaller than the hole pitch of the first cooling passage in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft.

8. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , further comprising

a third cooling passage that is arranged at a side end portion on the upstream of the segment body in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft, and that communicates from the cooling space to the combustion gas space in the side end portion.

9. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 , further comprising

a fourth cooling passage that is arranged at a side end portion on the downstream of the segment body in the rotation direction of the rotating shaft, and that communicates from the cooling space to the combustion gas space in the side end portion.

10. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 8 , wherein

the third cooling passage communicates with the first cavity via a second cavity.

11. The cooling system of ring segment according to claim 9 , wherein

the fourth cooling passage communicates with the first cavity via a third cavity.

12. A gas turbine provided with the cooling system of ring segment according to claim 1 .

13. A gas turbine provided with the cooling system of ring segment according to claim 2 .
