A sealing structure of a spindle bolt in a gas turbine having a steam feed path provided in a turbine main spindle, wherein rotor disks and a connecting member on a compressor side are fixed by a spindle bolt which is disposed off the rotational axis of the rotor disks, and between a first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, a circumference of the spindle bolt is covered with a tubular member in which a section thereof vertical to the axial direction includes a section of a bolt hole for passing the spindle bolt therethrough, and ends of the tubular member are made to abut resiliently on the first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, respectively.
A gas turbine that has a plurality of rotor disks having a rotor blade on a periphery thereof, and a steam feed path for supplying steam which cools the rotor blade or the rotor disks, and other members to be heated, the gas turbine comprising:
- a compressor that compresses air to produce combustion air;
- a combustor that supplies fuel to the combustion air produced by the compressor to generate combustion gas;
- and
- a turbine main spindle having the steam feed path or a recovery path for the steam therein, in which the rotor disks and a connecting member located on the compressor side are fixed by a spindle bolt,
- wherein the spindle bolt is disposed off the rotational axis of the rotor disks, a circumference of the spindle bolt is covered with a tubular member in which a section thereof vertical to an axial direction includes a section of a bolt hole for passing the spindle bolt therethrough, between a first stage rotor disk and the connecting member, and opposite ends of the tubular member are made to abut resiliently on the first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, respectively.
A sealing structure of a spindle bolt, wherein rotor disks and a connecting member on a compressor side are fixed by a spindle bolt, and between a first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, of a turbine rotor in a gas turbine having a steam path therein, a circumference of the spindle bolt is covered with a tubular member in which a section thereof vertical to the axial direction includes a section of a bolt hole for passing the spindle bolt therethrough, and ends of the tubular member are made to abut on the first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, respectively, wherein a sealant is provided between the end of the tubular member and the connecting member on the compressor side.
A gas turbine that has a plurality of rotor disks having a rotor blade on a periphery thereof, which cools the rotor blade or the rotor disks, and other hot members by steam, the gas turbine comprising:
- a compressor that compresses air to produce combustion air;
- a combustor that supplies fuel to the combustion air produced by the compressor to generate combustion gas;
- and
- a turbine rotor having a feed path or a recovery path for the steam therein, in which the rotor disks and a connecting member located on the compressor side are fixed by a spindle bolt,
- wherein between a first stage rotor disk and the connecting member, a circumference of the spindle bolt is covered with a tubular member in which a section thereof vertical to an axial direction includes a section of a bolt hole for passing the spindle bolt therethrough, and opposite ends of the tubular member are made to abut on the first stage rotor disk and the connecting member on the compressor side, respectively, wherein a sealant is provided between the end of the tubular member and the connecting member on the compressor side.
A gas turbine comprising:
