Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] During operation of the gas turbine, the vane surface of the structure including the stator vanes (hereinafter referred to as the stator vane segment) becomes relatively hot due to combustion gas, while the base end portion of the stator vane segment fixed to the casing becomes relatively low in temperature. As a result, thermal stress corresponding to the temperature difference occurs in the stator vane segment, which shortens the fatigue life of the stator vane segment.

[0005] In the structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the stator vane segment is directly attached to the turbine casing, a large temperature difference occurs in the stator vane segment, which may shorten the fatigue life of the stator vane segment.

[0006] This disclosure is made in view of these circumstances and aims to provide a gas turbine and a method for mounting and cooling stationary vanes that can appropriately suppress the shortening of the fatigue life of components caused by the stationary vanes becoming relatively hot during operation.

[Figure 7] This is a partially enlarged view of a gas turbine according to the third embodiment of this disclosure. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, a gas turbine 100 according to the first embodiment of this disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a gas turbine 100 according to one embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 is a partially enlarged view of part A of the gas turbine 100 shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the stator blade holding member 91 shown in Figure 2 removed from the stator blade segment 80. The gas turbine 100 of this embodiment is, for example, a turbofan engine used as a thrust generator for an aircraft.

[0012] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the gas turbine 100 comprises a compressor 10, a combustor 20, a turbine 30, a supercharging fan 40, an inner casing 50, an outer casing 60, a high-pressure rotating shaft 70A, a low-pressure rotating shaft 70B, a stator vane segment 80, and a stator vane holding mechanism 90.

[0013] The compressor 10 is a device that generates compressed air by compressing external air EA flowing in from the front in the direction of the aircraft's movement. The compressor 10 has a plurality of rotor blades (compression rotor blades) 11 that rotate around axis X and are connected to a high-pressure rotating shaft 70A, and generates compressed air by passing the incoming external air EA through the plurality of rotor blades 11.

[0014] The combustor 20 is a device that combusts compressed air generated by the compressor 10 together with fuel to generate high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas CA. The combustor 20 supplies the high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas CA to the turbine 30, thereby causing the turbine 30 to rotate around the axis X. The combustors 20 are provided at a plurality of positions around the axis X.

[0015] The turbine 30 is a device driven by the combustion gas CA generated by the combustor 20. The turbine 30 includes a high-pressure turbine 31, and a low-pressure turbine 32 disposed downstream of the high-pressure turbine 31 in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The high-pressure turbine 31 has a plurality of high-pressure turbine rotor blades 31a coupled to the high-pressure rotating shaft 70A. The low-pressure turbine 32 has a plurality of low-pressure turbine rotor blades 32a coupled to the low-pressure rotating shaft 70B.

[0016] The low-pressure turbine 32 includes a plurality of low-pressure turbine rotor blades 32a that rotate around the axis X, and a turbine disk 32b coupled to the low-pressure turbine rotor blades 32a. The low-pressure turbine rotor blade 32a includes a blade portion 32a1, and a platform portion 32a2 formed integrally with the blade portion 32a1. The blade portion 32a1 is coupled to the turbine disk 32b attached to the low-pressure rotating shaft 70B via the platform portion 32a2.

[0017] By guiding the combustion gas CA to the turbine 30, the plurality of high-pressure turbine rotor blades 31a and the plurality of low-pressure turbine rotor blades 32a are driven to rotate around the axis X. The driving force that causes the high-pressure turbine rotor blades 31a to rotate around the axis X is transmitted to the compressor 10 via the high-pressure rotating shaft 70A. The compressor 10 rotates the rotor blades 11 by the power obtained from the high-pressure turbine 31 to generate compressed air.

[0018] The supercharging fan 40 is a device that rotates around the axis X to supply external air EA to both the internal space of the inner casing 50 and the space between the inner casing 50 and the outer casing 60. The supercharging fan 40 is connected to the low-pressure turbine 32 via the low-pressure rotating shaft 70B. The supercharging fan 40 rotates around the axis X by the drive of the low-pressure turbine 32 and guides the external air EA to the compressor 10.

[0019] The inner casing 50 is a member formed in a cylindrical shape extending along the axis X and arranged on the outer peripheral side of the turbine 30 with respect to the axis X. The outer casing 60 is a member formed in a cylindrical shape extending along the axis X and arranged on the outer peripheral side of the inner casing 50 with respect to the axis X.

[0020] The high-pressure rotating shaft 70A is a cylindrical member that connects the compressor 10 and the high-pressure turbine 31, is formed to extend along the axis X, and rotates in the rotational direction. The low-pressure rotating shaft 70B is a shaft-shaped member that connects the supercharging fan 40 and the low-pressure turbine 32, is formed to extend along the axis X, and rotates in the rotational direction. The low-pressure rotating shaft 70B is inserted into the cylindrical high-pressure rotating shaft 70A, and rotates independently of the high-pressure rotating shaft 70A.

[0021] The stationary blade segment 80 is arranged on the upstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA with respect to the low-pressure turbine moving blade 32a, and includes stationary blades 81 each formed of a metal material, a shroud 82, an upstream flange (first flange) 83, and a downstream flange (first flange) 84. The stationary blade segment 80 is a structural body in which a plurality (four in the example shown in FIG. 3) of stationary blades 81, the shroud 82, the upstream flange 83, and the downstream flange 84 are integrally assembled. As shown in FIG. 3, the stationary blade segment 80 has a length L1 along the circumferential direction CD around the axis X.

[0022] The stationary blades 81 are arranged at a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction around the axis X and are arranged inside the inner casing 50. The shroud 82 is a component to which the outer peripheral end of the radial direction RD of the stator vane 81 is attached, and which forms a flow path for the combustion gas CA extending along the axis X. The shrouds 82 of each of the multiple stator vane segments 80 are arranged in an annular shape around the axis X.

[0023] The upstream flange 83 is formed to protrude from the shroud 82 toward the outer circumference in the radial direction RD and toward the upstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The downstream flange 84 is formed to protrude from the shroud 82 toward the outer circumference in the radial direction RD and toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The upstream flange 83 and the downstream flange 84 are formed so that their tips protrude toward a direction away from each other in the axial direction AD along the axis X.

[0024] The stator vane holding mechanism 90 is formed in an annular shape around the axis X and is positioned between the inner casing 50 and the stator vane segment 80 in the radial direction RD perpendicular to the axis X. The stator vane holding mechanism 90 holds the stator vane segment 80 in a position relative to the inner casing 50. As shown in Figure 3, the stator vane holding mechanism 90 has a plurality of stator vane holding members 91 that are divided in the circumferential direction CD and are made of a metal material. Alternatively, the stator vane holding mechanism 90 may be a single stator vane holding member 91 that is not divided in the circumferential direction CD.

[0025] The stator vane retaining member 91 has a length L2 along the circumferential direction CD around the axis X. Preferably, the length L2 is set to be 1 / 3 or less of the total length of the circumferential direction CD (the circumference of one turn). Also, the length L2 is set to be 0.5 times or more the length L1 of the stator vane segment 80. In Figure 3, the length L2 is the same as the length L1, and one stator vane retaining member 91 holds one stator vane segment 80, but other embodiments are also possible. For example, the length L2 may be set to 2 times or more the length L1, so that one stator vane retaining member 91 holds two or more stator vane segments 80.

[0026] As shown in Figure 2, the stator vane retaining member 91 has an upstream retaining flange (second flange) 92, a downstream retaining flange (second flange) 93, an insertion flange (third flange) 94, and abutment flange (fourth flange) 95.

[0027] The upstream retaining flange 92 is formed to protrude toward the inner circumference in the radial direction RD and toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The downstream retaining flange 93 is formed to protrude toward the inner circumference in the radial direction RD and toward the upstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The upstream retaining flange 92 and the downstream retaining flange 93 are formed so that their tips protrude toward each other in the axial direction AD along the axis X.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2, the stator vane segment 80 is held by the stator vane holding member 91 by positioning the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 between the upstream holding flange 92 and the downstream holding flange 93 of the stator vane holding member 91 in the axial direction AD and engaging them together.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2, the inner casing 50 has a first groove 50a and a second groove 50b. The first groove 50a is formed so as to extend along the circumferential direction CD and into which the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane retaining member 91 is inserted. The second groove 50b is formed so as to extend along the circumferential direction CD and into which a fixing member 96 for fixing the abutment flange 95 of the stator vane retaining member 91 to the inner casing 50 is inserted. The stator vane retaining member 91 is fixed to the inner casing 50 with the insertion flange 94 inserted into the first groove 50a and the abutment flange 95 in contact with the fixing member 96 inserted into the second groove 50b. The fixing member 96 supports the axial load AD acting on the stator vane retaining member 91 when the combustion gas CA collides with the stator vane 81.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2, when a fluid pressure FPA due to combustion gas CA acts on the stator vane 81, a reaction force FPR1 from the stator vane retaining member 91 acts on the downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80. In addition, a reaction force FPR2 from a fixing member 96 of the same size as the reaction force FPR1 acts on the stator vane retaining member 91.

[0031] When a moment is applied to the stator vane 81 by the fluid pressure FPA in a direction that rotates the stator vane segment 80 counterclockwise in Figure 2, a reaction force FPR6 acts from the inner casing 50 on the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane retaining member 91. Also, a reaction force FPR5 of the same size as the reaction force FPR5 acts on the upstream flange 83 of the stator vane segment 80 from the stator vane retaining member 91. Similarly, a reaction force FPR4 acts from the inner casing 50 on the abutment flange 95 of the stator vane retaining member 91. Also, a reaction force FPR3 of the same size as the reaction force FPR4 acts on the downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 from the stator vane retaining member 91.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2, the inner casing 50 has a supply hole 51 for supplying compressed air PA generated by the compressor 10 to the first space IS1. The stator vane holding member 91 has a partition wall 97 that separates the internal space IS of the inner casing 50 into a first space IS1 on the outer circumference side of the radial direction RD and a second space IS2 on the inner circumference side of the radial direction RD. The partition wall 97 has a plurality of ventilation holes 97a that guide compressed air from the first space to the second space IS2. The compressed air PA injected into the second space IS2 from the ventilation holes 97a cools the shroud 82 of the stator vane segment 80. It is preferable that the diameter of the ventilation holes 97a be set so that impingement cooling can be performed on the shroud 82.

[0033] The upstream retaining flange 92 of the stator vane retaining member 91 has a ventilation hole 92a that guides compressed air from the second space IS2 to the third space IS3, which is upstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The compressed air PA guided from the ventilation hole 92a to the third space IS3 cools the inner casing 50 and the stator vane segment 80. As shown in Figure 3, the ventilation holes 92a are provided at multiple locations at intervals along the circumferential direction CD. Only one ventilation hole 92a may be provided for each stator vane retaining member 91.

[0034] The downstream retaining flange 93 of the stator vane retaining member 91 has a ventilation hole 93a that guides compressed air from the second space IS2 to the fourth space IS4 downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The compressed air PA guided from the ventilation hole 93a to the fourth space IS4 cools the inner casing 50 and the stator vane segment 80. As shown in Figure 3, the ventilation holes 93a are provided at multiple locations at intervals along the circumferential direction CD. Only one ventilation hole 93a may be provided for each stator vane retaining member 91.

[0035] Next, a method for attaching the stator vane segment 80 of this embodiment to the inner casing 50 for stator vane mounting and cooling will be described. Figure 4 is a flowchart of the stator vane mounting and cooling method.

[0036] In step S101, the worker attaches the stator vane retaining member 91 to the stator vane segment 80. Starting from the state in which the stator vane retaining member 91 is removed from the stator vane segment 80 as shown in Figure 3, the worker moves the stator vane retaining member 91 toward the stator vane segment 80 along the circumferential direction CD, and inserts the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 between the upstream retaining flange 92 and downstream retaining flange 93 of the stator vane retaining member 91 in the axial direction AD along the axis X.

[0037] In step S102, the worker inserts the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane holding member 91 into the first groove 50a of the inner casing 50. In step S103, the worker inserts the fixing member 96 into the second groove 50b of the inner casing 50 so that the fixing member 96 contacts the abutment flange 95, as shown in Figure 2.

[0038] In steps S102 and S103, the worker fixes the stator vane retaining member 91 attached to the stator vane segment 80 to the inner casing 50. Thus, the stator vane segment 80 is attached to the inner casing 50.

[0039] The functions and effects of the gas turbine 100 of this embodiment, as described above, will now be explained. In the gas turbine 100 of this embodiment, the combustion gas CA generated in the combustor 20 imparts a torque to the rotor blades 11 of the turbine 30, causing the turbine 30 to rotate around the axis X. As the high-pressure turbine 31 rotates, the compressor 10, which is connected via the high-pressure rotating shaft 70A, generates compressed air that is supplied to the combustor 20.

[0040] The stator vane segments 80, each having a stator vane 81 positioned inside the inner casing 50, are arranged at multiple locations in the circumferential direction CD around the axis X. The stator vane segments 80 are held in a position relative to the inner casing 50 by a stator vane holding mechanism 90. Because the stator vane segments 80 are indirectly attached to the inner casing 50 via the stator vane holding mechanism 90, the heat of the combustion gas CA transmitted from the blade surface of the stator vane 81 is transferred from the stator vane segments 80 to the inner casing 50 via the stator vane holding mechanism 90.

[0041] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism 90 can prevent radiant heat from the stator vane segment 80 from being directly transmitted to the inner casing 50. Therefore, compared to the case where the stator vane segment 80 is directly attached to the inner casing 50, the temperature difference generated in the stator vane segment 80 can be suppressed, and the fatigue life of the stator vane segment 80 can be appropriately prevented from being shortened due to thermal stress generated in the stator vane segment 80.

[0042] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism 90, which holds the stator vane segment 80 relative to the inner casing 50, has a partition wall 97 that separates the internal space IS of the inner casing 50 into a first space IS1 on the outer circumference side of the radial direction RD and a second space IS2 on the inner circumference side of the radial direction RD, and the partition wall 97 has ventilation holes 97a that guide compressed air PA from the first space IS1 to the second space IS2. The inner casing 50 and the stator vane holding mechanism 90 are cooled by the compressed air PA guided into the first space IS1, and the stator vane segment 80 is further cooled by the compressed air PA guided into the second space IS2. By cooling the inner casing 50, the stator vane holding mechanism 90 and the stator vane segment 80 with compressed air PA, it is possible to appropriately suppress the shortening of the fatigue life of each component.

[0043] In the gas turbine 100 of this embodiment, the stator blade segment 80 is held by the stator blade holding member 91 by arranging the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator blade segment 80 between the upstream holding flange 92 and downstream holding flange 93 of the stator blade holding member 91. Since the contact area between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 is limited to a minimum, the amount of heat transfer between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 is suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 can be kept small.

[0044] Furthermore, the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 are formed to protrude in directions away from each other, both upstream and downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. As a result, the distance between the ends of the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 in the axial direction AD is shorter compared to when they are formed to protrude toward each other. This reduces the magnitude of the reaction forces FPR3 and FPR5 that the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 receive from the stator vane holding member 91 in response to the moment generated in the stator vane segment 80 by the fluid pressure FPA that the stator vane 81 receives from the combustion gas CA.

[0045] According to the gas turbine 100 of this embodiment, the insertion flange 94 of the stator blade holding member 91 is inserted into the first groove 50a of the inner casing, and the fixing member 96 is inserted into the second groove 50b of the inner casing 50, thereby bringing the fixing member 96 into contact with the abutment flange 95 of the stator blade holding member 91, and thus the stator blade holding member 91 can be fixed to the inner casing 50.

[0046] [Second Embodiment] Next, a gas turbine according to the second embodiment of this disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment and is the same as the first embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, so the following description will be omitted.

[0047] The gas turbine of the second embodiment differs from the gas turbine of the first embodiment in the shape of the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator blade segment 80, and the shape of the upstream retaining flange 92 and downstream retaining flange 93 of the stator blade retaining member 91. Figure 5 is a partially enlarged view of the gas turbine according to the second embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the stator blade retaining member 91 shown in Figure 5 removed from the stator blade segment 80.

[0048] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of this embodiment are formed so that their tips protrude toward each other in the axial direction AD along axis X. The upstream retaining flange 92 and downstream retaining flange 93 are formed so that their tips protrude toward each other in the axial direction AD along axis X.

[0049] As shown in Figure 5, the stator vane segment 80 is held by the stator vane holding member 91 by positioning the upstream holding flange 92 and downstream holding flange 93 of the stator vane holding member 91 between the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 in the axial direction AD and engaging them together.

[0050] As shown in Figure 5, the inner casing 50 has a first groove 50a and a second groove 50b. The first groove 50a is formed so as to extend along the circumferential direction CD and into which the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane retaining member 91 is inserted. The second groove 50b is formed so as to extend along the circumferential direction CD and into which a fixing member 96 for fixing the abutment flange 95 of the stator vane retaining member 91 to the inner casing 50 is inserted. The stator vane retaining member 91 is fixed to the inner casing 50 with the insertion flange 94 inserted into the first groove 50a and the abutment flange 95 in contact with the fixing member 96 inserted into the second groove 50b.

[0051] As shown in Figure 5, when a fluid pressure FPA due to combustion gas CA acts on the stator vane 81, a reaction force FPR1 from the stator vane retaining member 91 acts on the upstream flange 83 of the stator vane segment 80. In addition, a reaction force FPR2 from a fixing member 96 of the same size as the reaction force FPR1 acts on the stator vane retaining member 91.

[0052] When a moment is applied to the stator vane 81 by the fluid pressure FPA in a direction that rotates the stator vane segment 80 counterclockwise in Figure 5, a reaction force FPR6 acts from the inner casing 50 on the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane retaining member 91. Also, a reaction force FPR5 of the same size as the reaction force FPR5 acts on the upstream flange 83 of the stator vane segment 80 from the stator vane retaining member 91. Similarly, a reaction force FPR4 acts from the inner casing 50 on the abutment flange 95 of the stator vane retaining member 91. Also, a reaction force FPR3 of the same size as the reaction force FPR4 acts on the downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 from the stator vane retaining member 91.

[0053] As shown in Figure 5, the inner casing 50 has a supply hole 51 for supplying compressed air PA generated by the compressor 10 to the first space IS1. The stator vane holding member 91 has a partition wall 97 that separates the internal space IS of the inner casing 50 into a first space IS1 on the outer circumference side of the radial direction RD and a second space IS2 on the inner circumference side of the radial direction RD. The partition wall 97 has a plurality of ventilation holes 97a that guide compressed air from the first space to the second space IS2. The compressed air PA injected into the second space IS2 from the ventilation holes 97a cools the shroud 82 of the stator vane segment 80. It is preferable that the diameter of the ventilation holes 97a be set so that impingement cooling can be performed on the shroud 82.

[0054] The insertion flange 94 of the stator vane retaining member 91 has ventilation holes 94a formed therein that guide compressed air from the first space IS1 to the third space IS3, which is upstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The compressed air PA guided from the ventilation holes 94a to the third space IS3 cools the inner casing 50 and the stator vane segment 80. As shown in Figure 6, the ventilation holes 94a are provided at multiple locations at intervals along the circumferential direction CD. Only one ventilation hole 94a may be provided for each stator vane retaining member 91.

[0055] The abutment flange 95 of the stator vane retaining member 91 has a ventilation hole 95a that guides compressed air PA from the first space IS1 to the fourth space IS4, which is downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas CA. The compressed air PA guided from the ventilation hole 95a to the fourth space IS4 cools the inner casing 50 and the stator vane segment 80. As shown in Figure 6, the ventilation holes 95a are provided at multiple locations at intervals along the circumferential direction CD. Only one ventilation hole 95a may be provided for each stator vane retaining member 91.

[0056] Next, a method for attaching the stator vane segment 80 of this embodiment to the inner casing 50 for stator vane mounting and cooling will be described.

[0057] In step S101 of Figure 4, the worker attaches the stator vane retaining member 91 to the stator vane segment 80. Starting from the state in which the stator vane retaining member 91 is removed from the stator vane segment 80 as shown in Figure 6, the worker moves the stator vane retaining member 91 toward the stator vane segment 80 along the circumferential direction CD, and inserts the upstream retaining flange 92 and downstream retaining flange 93 of the stator vane retaining member 91 between the upstream flange 83 and the downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 in the axial direction AD along the axis X.

[0058] In step S102 of Figure 4, the worker inserts the insertion flange 94 of the stator vane holding member 91 into the first groove 50a of the inner casing 50. In step S103, the worker inserts the fixing member 96 into the second groove 50b of the inner casing 50 so that the fixing member 96 contacts the abutment flange 95, as shown in Figure 5.

[0059] In steps S102 and S103, the worker fixes the stator vane retaining member 91 attached to the stator vane segment 80 to the inner casing 50. Thus, the stator vane segment 80 is attached to the inner casing 50.

[0060] In this embodiment of the gas turbine, the stator blade segment 80 is held by the stator blade holding member 91 by arranging the upstream holding flange 92 and downstream holding flange 93 of the stator blade holding member 91 between the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator blade segment 80. Since the contact area between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 is minimized, the amount of heat transfer between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 is suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator blade segment 80 and the stator blade holding member 91 can be kept small.

[0061] Furthermore, the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 of the stator vane segment 80 are formed to protrude toward each other in both the upstream and downstream directions of the combustion gas CA flow. Therefore, compared to the case where they are formed toward each other, the distance between the ends of the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 in the axial direction AD is increased. As a result, the distance from the central part of the axial direction AD, which is the hottest part of the stator vane segment 80, to the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 is increased, and the amount of heat transferred from the stator vane 81 to the upstream flange 83 and downstream flange 84 can be reduced.

[0062] [Third Embodiment] Next, a gas turbine according to the third embodiment of this disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. This embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment and is the same as the first embodiment unless otherwise specifically described below, so the following description will be omitted.

[0063] The gas turbine of this embodiment differs from the gas turbine 100 of the first embodiment in that the first space IS1 between the inner casing 50 and the partition wall 97 of the stator blade retaining member 91 is filled with thermal insulation material 99. Figure 7 is a partially enlarged view of the gas turbine according to the third embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in Figure 7, the first space IS1 between the inner casing 50 and the partition wall 97 of the stator blade retaining member 91 is filled with thermal insulation material 99.

[0064] The thermal insulation material 99 is, for example, glass wool covered with a thin metal plate and molded into a predetermined shape, and suppresses the transfer of radiant heat from the shroud 82 of the stator vane segment 80 to the stator vane holding member 91 to the inner casing 50. As shown in Figure 7, the thermal insulation material 99 is arranged in the first space IS1 to fill the remaining space while ensuring a flow path for compressed air PA from the supply hole 51 to the ventilation hole 97a.

[0065] According to the gas turbine of this embodiment, the heat insulating material 99 filled in the first space IS1 can appropriately suppress the transfer of radiant heat from the stator blade segment 80 to the stator blade holding mechanism 90 to the inner casing 50.

[0066] The gas turbines described in each of the embodiments above can be understood, for example, as follows. A gas turbine (100) according to a first aspect of this disclosure includes a compressor (10) having a plurality of compression blades that rotate around an axis (X) and compressing external air to generate compressed air, a combustor (20) that burns the compressed air generated by the compressor together with fuel to generate combustion gas, a turbine (30) having a plurality of blades (32a) that rotate around the axis and driven by the combustion gas generated by the combustor, a rotating shaft (70) connecting the compressor and the turbine and formed to extend along the axis and rotating in the rotational direction (RD), a casing (50) formed in a cylindrical shape extending along the axis and positioned on the outer circumference side of the turbine with respect to the axis, and the axis The casing comprises a stator vane segment (80) having stator vanes (81) arranged at multiple locations in the circumferential direction (CD) and positioned inside the casing, and a stator vane holding mechanism (90) formed in an annular shape around the axis and positioned between the casing and the stator vane segment in the radial direction perpendicular to the axis, for holding the stator vane segment in a positioned state relative to the casing, wherein the stator vane holding mechanism has a partition wall (97) that separates the internal space (IS) of the casing into a first space (IS1) on the radial outer side and a second space (IS1) on the radial inner side, and the partition wall has a first ventilation hole (97a) that guides the compressed air supplied from the compressor to the first space to the second space.

[0067] According to the gas turbine of the first aspect of this disclosure, the combustion gas generated in the combustor imparts a torque to the turbine blades that rotate around their axis, causing the turbine to rotate in the rotational direction. As the turbine rotates, a compressor connected via the rotating shaft generates compressed air that is supplied to the combustor.

[0068] The stator vane segments, each having a stator vane positioned inside the casing, are arranged at multiple locations in the circumferential direction around the axis. The stator vane segments are held in a position relative to the casing by a stator vane holding mechanism. Because the stator vane segments are indirectly attached to the casing via the stator vane holding mechanism, the heat from the combustion gases transmitted from the stator vane surface is transferred from the stator vane segments to the casing via the stator vane holding mechanism.

[0069] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism prevents radiant heat from the stator vane segment from being directly transferred to the casing. Therefore, compared to the case where the stator vane segment is directly attached to the casing, it is possible to suppress the temperature difference that occurs in the stator vane segment and appropriately prevent the fatigue life of the stator vane segment from being shortened due to thermal stress that occurs in the stator vane segment.

[0070] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism that holds the stator vane segment to the casing has a partition wall that separates the internal space of the casing into a first space on the radial outer side and a second space on the radial inner side, and ventilation holes are formed in the partition wall to guide compressed air from the first space to the second space. The casing and the stator vane holding mechanism are cooled by the compressed air guided into the first space, and the stator vane segment is further cooled by the compressed air guided into the second space. By cooling the casing, the stator vane holding mechanism and the stator vane segment with compressed air, it is possible to appropriately suppress the shortening of the fatigue life of each component.

[0071] A gas turbine according to a second aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the first aspect: The stator blade holding mechanism is provided with a second vent hole (92a) that guides the compressed air from the first space or the second space to a third space (IS3) upstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas.

[0072] According to the gas turbine of the second aspect of this disclosure, the stator blade holding mechanism and stator blade segments are cooled by compressed air introduced into the third space, thereby appropriately suppressing the shortening of the fatigue life of each component.

[0073] A gas turbine according to a third aspect of this disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the first or second aspect: The stator blade holding mechanism is provided with a third vent hole (93a) that guides the compressed air from the first or second space to a fourth space (IS4) downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas.

[0074] According to the gas turbine of the third aspect of this disclosure, the stator blade holding mechanism and stator blade segments are cooled by compressed air introduced into the fourth space, thereby appropriately suppressing the shortening of the fatigue life of each component.

[0075] A gas turbine according to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the first aspect: The stator blade segment has a shroud (82) to which the radial outer end of the stator blade is attached and which forms a flow path for the combustion gas extending along the axis, and a pair of first flange portions (83, 84) formed to project radially outward from the shroud and toward each other in both the upstream and downstream directions in the flow direction of the combustion gas; the stator blade holding mechanism has a pair of second flange portions (92, 93) formed to project radially inward from the inner circumference and toward each other in both the upstream and downstream directions in the flow direction of the combustion gas; and the stator blade segment is held by the stator blade holding mechanism by arranging a pair of first flange portions between a pair of second flange portions in the direction along the axis.

[0076] According to a gas turbine according to a fourth aspect of this disclosure, the stator blade segment is held by the stator blade holding mechanism by arranging a pair of first flange portions of the stator blade segment between a pair of second flange portions of the stator blade holding mechanism. Since the contact area between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding mechanism is limited to a minimum, the amount of heat transfer between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding mechanism can be suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding mechanism can be kept small.

[0077] Furthermore, the pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment are formed to protrude away from each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the direction of combustion gas flow. As a result, the distance between the axial ends of the pair of first flange portions is shorter compared to when they are formed to protrude towards each other. This reduces the magnitude of the reaction force that the pair of first flange portions receive from the stator vane holding mechanism in response to the moment generated in the stator vane segment by the fluid pressure the stator vane receives from the combustion gas.

[0078] A gas turbine according to a fifth aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the first aspect: The stator blade segment has a shroud to which the radial outer end of the stator blade is attached and which forms a flow path for the combustion gas extending along the axis, and a pair of first flange portions formed to project from the shroud toward the radial outer side and toward each other toward both the upstream and downstream sides in the flow direction of the combustion gas; the stator blade holding mechanism has a pair of second flange portions formed to project toward the radial inner side and toward both the upstream and downstream sides in the flow direction of the combustion gas, and the stator blade segment is held by the stator blade holding mechanism by arranging the pair of second flange portions between the pair of first flange portions in the axial direction along the axis.

[0079] According to a gas turbine of a fifth aspect of this disclosure, the stator blade segment is held by the stator blade holding mechanism by arranging a pair of second flange portions of the stator blade holding mechanism between a pair of first flange portions of the stator blade segment. Since the contact area between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding mechanism is minimized, the amount of heat transfer between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding member is suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator blade segment and the stator blade holding mechanism can be kept small.

[0080] Furthermore, the pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment are formed to protrude toward each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the combustion gas flow direction. As a result, the distance between the axial ends of the pair of first flange portions is longer compared to when they are formed toward each other. This increases the distance from the axial central portion of the stator vane segment, which is the hottest, to the first flange portions, thereby reducing the amount of heat transferred from the stator vane to the pair of first flange portions.

[0081] A gas turbine according to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the fourth or fifth aspect: The stator blade holding mechanism has a third flange portion (94) protruding upstream in the direction of combustion gas flow and a fourth flange portion (95) protruding downstream in the direction of combustion gas flow; the casing has a first groove portion (50a) into which the third flange portion is inserted and which extends along the circumferential direction, and a second groove portion (50b) into which a fixing member (96) for fixing the fourth flange portion to the casing is inserted and which extends along the circumferential direction; the stator blade holding mechanism is fixed to the casing with the third flange portion inserted into the first groove and the fourth flange portion in contact with the fixing member inserted into the second groove.

[0082] According to the gas turbine of the sixth aspect of this disclosure, the stator blade holding mechanism can be fixed to the casing by inserting the third flange portion of the stator blade holding mechanism into the first groove portion of the casing and inserting the fixing member into the second groove portion of the casing, thereby bringing the fixing member into contact with the fourth flange portion of the stator blade holding mechanism.

[0083] A gas turbine according to a seventh aspect of this disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the first or second aspect: namely, an insulating material (99) that fills the first space.

[0084] According to the gas turbine of the seventh aspect of this disclosure, the insulating material filled in the first space can appropriately suppress the transfer of radiant heat from the stator blade segment to the stator blade holding mechanism to the casing.

[0085] A stator vane mounting and cooling method according to the eighth aspect of the present disclosure is a method for mounting stator vanes to a casing of a gas turbine, wherein the gas turbine includes a compressor having a plurality of compression blades that rotate around an axis and compressing external air to generate compressed air, a combustor that burns the compressed air generated by the compressor together with fuel to generate combustion gas, a turbine having a plurality of blades that rotate around an axis and driven by the combustion gas generated by the combustor, a rotating shaft connecting the compressor and the turbine and extending along the axis and rotating in the rotational direction, and a casing that is formed in a cylindrical shape extending along the axis and is positioned on the outer circumference side of the turbine with respect to the axis, The system includes a stator vane segment having stator vanes arranged at multiple locations in the circumferential direction around the axis and positioned inside the casing, and a stator vane holding mechanism that holds the stator vane segment in a positioned state relative to the casing, wherein the stator vane holding mechanism has a partition wall that separates the internal space of the casing into a first space on the radial outer side and a second space on the radial inner side, and the partition wall has a first ventilation hole formed therein that guides the compressed air supplied from the compressor to the first space to the second space, and the system includes an attachment step (S101) of attaching the stator vane holding mechanism to the stator vane segment, and a fixing step (S102, S103) of fixing the stator vane holding mechanism attached to the stator vane segment to the casing.

[0086] According to the stator vane mounting and cooling method of the eighth aspect of this disclosure, stator vane segments having stator vanes arranged inside the casing are arranged at multiple locations in the circumferential direction around the axis. The stator vane segments are held in a position relative to the casing by a stator vane holding mechanism. Since the stator vane segments are indirectly attached to the casing via the stator vane holding mechanism, the heat of the combustion gas transmitted from the blade surface of the stator vane is transmitted from the stator vane segments to the casing via the stator vane holding mechanism.

[0087] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism prevents radiant heat from the stator vane segment from being directly transferred to the casing. Therefore, compared to the case where the stator vane segment is directly attached to the casing, it is possible to suppress the temperature difference that occurs in the stator vane segment and appropriately prevent the fatigue life of the stator vane segment from being shortened due to thermal stress that occurs in the stator vane segment.

[0088] Furthermore, the stator vane holding mechanism that holds the stator vane segment to the casing has a partition wall that separates the internal space of the casing into a first space on the radial outer side and a second space on the radial inner side, and ventilation holes are formed in the partition wall to guide compressed air from the first space to the second space. The casing and the stator vane holding mechanism are cooled by the compressed air guided into the first space, and the stator vane segment is further cooled by the compressed air guided into the second space.

[0090] According to the ninth aspect of this disclosure, the stator vane mounting and cooling method cools the stator vane holding mechanism and stator vane segments with compressed air introduced into the third space, thereby appropriately suppressing the shortening of the fatigue life of each component.

[0091] A stator vane mounting and cooling method according to a tenth aspect of this disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the eighth or ninth aspect: The stator vane holding mechanism is provided with a third ventilation hole (93a) that guides the compressed air from the first space or the second space to a fourth space (IS4) downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas.

[0094] According to the 11th aspect of the present disclosure, the stator vane mounting and cooling method is held by the stator vane holding mechanism by arranging a pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment between a pair of second flange portions of the stator vane holding mechanism. Since the contact area between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism is minimized, the amount of heat transfer between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism is suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism can be kept small.

[0095] Furthermore, the pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment are formed to protrude away from each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the direction of combustion gas flow. As a result, the distance between the axial ends of the pair of first flange portions is shorter compared to when they are formed to protrude towards each other. This reduces the magnitude of the reaction force that the pair of first flange portions receive from the stator vane retaining member in response to the moment generated in the stator vane segment by the fluid pressure the stator vane receives from the combustion gas.

[0096] A stator vane mounting and cooling method according to a twelfth aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the eighth aspect: The stator vane segment has a shroud to which the radial outer end of the stator vane is attached and which forms a flow path for the combustion gas extending along the axis, and a pair of first flange portions formed to protrude from the shroud radially outward and toward each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the direction of combustion gas flow, and the stator vane holding mechanism has a pair of second flange portions formed to protrude radially inward and toward each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the direction of combustion gas flow, and the mounting step involves attaching the stator vane holding mechanism to the stator vane segment by inserting a pair of second flange portions between a pair of first flange portions in a direction along the axis.

[0097] According to the twelfth aspect of the present disclosure, the stator vane mounting and cooling method is held by the stator vane holding mechanism by arranging a pair of second flange portions of the stator vane holding mechanism between a pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment. Since the contact area between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism is minimized, the amount of heat transfer between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism is suppressed, and the temperature difference between the stator vane segment and the stator vane holding mechanism can be kept small.

[0098] Furthermore, the pair of first flange portions of the stator vane segment are formed to protrude toward each other on both the upstream and downstream sides in the combustion gas flow direction. As a result, the distance between the axial ends of the pair of first flange portions is longer compared to when they are formed toward each other. This increases the distance from the axial central portion of the stator vane segment, which is the hottest, to the first flange portions, thereby reducing the amount of heat transferred from the stator vane to the pair of first flange portions.

[0099] A stator vane mounting and cooling method according to a thirteenth aspect of the present disclosure further comprises the following configuration in the eleventh or twelfth aspect: The stator vane holding mechanism has a third flange portion projecting toward the upstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas and a fourth flange portion projecting toward the downstream side in the flow direction of the combustion gas; the casing has a first groove portion into which the third flange portion is inserted and which extends along the circumferential direction and into which a fixing member for fixing the fourth flange portion to the casing is inserted and which extends along the circumferential direction; the fixing step involves inserting the third flange portion into the first groove and inserting the fixing member into the second groove so that the fixing member is in contact with the fourth flange portion.

[0100] According to the 13th aspect of this disclosure, the stator vane mounting and cooling method is fixed to the casing by inserting the third flange portion of the stator vane holding mechanism into the first groove portion of the casing and inserting the fixing member into the second groove portion of the casing, thereby bringing the fixing member into contact with the fourth flange portion of the stator vane holding mechanism.
