Title:
MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR REMOVING STEAM REMAINING IN STEAM COOLING PIPING OF GAS TURBINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/066569
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A combustor (10) has steam cooling piping (11), and steam is caused to flow in steam supply piping (20), the steam cooling piping (11), steam discharge piping (70), in that order, to cool the combustor (10) by the steam. When a gas turbine is stopped, a piping system is set to a state where valves (V73, V71, V51, etc.) are closed to tightly close the piping (20, 11, 70), and then the valve (V71) is opened and vacuum is drawn by a condenser (90). After that the valve (V71) is closed, the valve (V51) is opened, nitrogen is loaded in the piping (20, 11, 70), and then the valve (V51) is closed. By this, remaining steam in the steam cooling piping (11) is reliably removed to replace it with the nitrogen. Accordingly, when the gas turbine is stopped, remaining steam can be reliably and quickly removed.
