Abstract
An exhaust system for a marine gas turbine may suppress a reduction of an efficiency even if a space therefor is small. In the exhaust system for a marine gas turbine, in which an end portion of an exhaust diffuser 2 is assembled into an exhaust chamber 1 connected with an upper exhaust eductor 4, the end portion of the exhaust diffuser 2 is disposed in the vicinity of an inlet of the exhaust chamber 1. An outlet 2a of the exhaust diffuser is slanted so that an upper portion of the outlet of an end of the exhaust diffuser is located upstream of a lower portion of the outlet. As a result, the exhaust gas may readily flow around and into the exhaust eductor 4.
Claims10
An exhaust system for a marine gas turbine, comprising:
- an exhaust diffuser having an end portion, said end portion having an end and an outlet at said end, and said outlet having an upper portion and a lower portion;
- an exhaust chamber having an inlet, said exhaust diffuser being disposed such that said end portion of said exhaust diffuser is located in the vicinity of said inlet of said exhaust chamber;
- and
- an upper exhaust eductor, said exhaust chamber being connected with said upper exhaust eductor;
- wherein said outlet of said end of said exhaust diffuser is slanted such that said upper portion of said outlet is located upstream of said lower portion.
An exhaust system for a marine gas turbine, comprising:
- an exhaust diffuser having an end portion, said end portion having an end and an outlet at said end, and said outlet having an uppermost portion and a lowermost portion;
- an exhaust chamber having an inlet, said exhaust diffuser being disposed such that said end portion of said exhaust diffuser is located in the vicinity of said inlet of said exhaust chamber;
- and
- an upper exhaust eductor, said exhaust chamber being connected with said upper exhaust eductor;
- wherein said outlet of said end of said exhaust diffuser is slanted as a whole such that said upper portion of said outlet is located upstream of said lower portion and said outlet, as a whole, is directed in an upward direction.
An exhaust system for a marine gas turbine, comprising:
- an exhaust diffuser having a stream direction and a downstream end portion, said downstream end portion having an end forming a stream outlet thereat, and said outlet having an uppermost portion and a lowermost portion;
- an exhaust chamber having a central portion and an inlet, said exhaust diffuser being disposed such that said end portion of said exhaust diffuser extends into said exhaust chamber with said outlet being located in the vicinity of said inlet of said exhaust chamber and before reaching said central portion of said exhaust chamber;
- and
- an upper exhaust eductor in fluid communication with said exhaust chamber;
- wherein said outlet of said end of said exhaust diffuser is slanted by having said end slanted upwardly as a whole so as to face in an upward direction as a whole, whereby said uppermost portion of said outlet is located upstream of said lowermost portion.
