Abstract

655,304. Gas turbine plant. POWER JETS (Research & Development), Ltd. Oct. 15, 1948, No. 27666/47. [Class 110(iii)] In a gas turbine plant comprising a compressor which supplies working fluid successively through a diffuser, heating means and a turbine, cooling fluid is drawn from a high pressure region of the compressor system passed through the turbine structure to cool it and returned to a lower pressure region of the diffuser upstream of the heating means but downstream of the compressor. In the plant shown, Fig. 1, a multistage axial flow compressor 1 is driven by a multistage axial flow turbine 2 which is supplied with gas by a combustion chamber 7. An annular cooling channel 13 is formed around the rotor 10 by means of shroud rings 15 around the base portions 16 of blades 14. The base portions 16 are provided with radial slits to allow passage of cooling air along the channel 13. Air from the diffuser 6 is led by a pipe 18 to the hollow shaft 3 from which it passes through the impeller vanes 22 to the channel 13. The air leaving the channel 13 passes through turbine vanes 24 to the pipe 27 which returns it into the stream of working fluid at the diffuser 6 preferable downstream of an exhaust heat exchanger if such is provided. The point at which the air is returned to the working fluid has a lower pressure than the point at which it is taken. To facilitate the conduction of heat to the root of the blade, each blade may have one or more closed internal cavities containing a suitable cooling medium such as sodium, caesium, aluminium chloride or bromide. The rotor 10 of the turbine 2 is constructed of a number of discs 11 held together by a member 12 enclosed in the hollow shaft 3. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, each rotor element 11 has a central bore in which is fitted a header chamber 32 having radially extending hollow ribs 33, the header being connected by radial tubes 34 with ducts 35 in the blades to form a closed circuit which is filled with a cooling medium such as one of the metals or salts referred to above. The annular ports 36 and 37 are fitted with axial flow compressor and turbine blading. The invention may be applied to plant in which the working fluid is heated indirectly in a heat exchanger. Specifications 610,737, 616,672 and 623,841 are referred to.
