Abstract

Within a compressor case, a plurality of stages of high-pressure compressor stators are disposed alternately with a plurality of stages of high-pressure compressor rotors along an axial direction. Each stage of the high-pressure compressor stators includes a plurality of compressor stator vanes. Each of the compressor stator vanes has, on a camber line, a camber reference point in which (θ−θe)/θk is 50% (θ, θe and θk represents a metal angle, an exit metal angle and a camber angle, respectively). In a vane-shaped cross-section, a distance from a leading edge to the camber reference point is set to a 26-38% chord.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A compressor stator vane for an axial flow compressor comprising:
a vane-shaped cross-section provided from a first side of the compressor stator vane to a second side of the compressor stator vane in a radial direction, the vane-shaped cross-section having, on a camber line, a camber reference point in which a ratio of an angle obtained by subtracting an exit metal angle from a metal angle to a camber angle is 50%, wherein
a distance from a leading edge to the camber reference point is set to a 26-38% chord,
the metal angle refers to an angle formed by a tangential direction of the camber line and an axial direction at an arbitrary position on the camber line,
the camber angle refers to an angle obtained by adding an entrance metal angle to the exit metal angle,
the entrance metal angle refers to an angle formed by the tangential direction of the camber line and the axial direction at an leading edge of the compressor stator vane, and
the exit metal angle refers to an angle formed by the tangential direction of the camber line and the axial direction at a trailing edge of the compressor stator vane.

2. An axial flow compressor that compresses a fluid along an axial direction, the axial flow compressor comprising:
a cylindrical compressor case inside which an annular main flow path for circulating the fluid along the axial direction is formed;
a plurality of stages of compressor rotors that are rotatably provided within the compressor case along the axial direction and that include: a compressor disc whose outer circumferential surface constitutes a part of a wall surface of the main flow path on an inner side in a radial direction and which can be rotated; and a plurality of compressor rotor blades which are provided at intervals on the outer circumferential surface of the compressor disc along a circumferential direction thereof and which are located within the main flow path; and
a plurality of stages of compressor stators which are disposed alternately with the plurality of stages of compressor rotors within the compressor case along the axial direction and which include a plurality of compressor stator vanes that are arranged at intervals within the main flow path in the circumferential direction thereof and that rectify a flow of the fluid,
wherein each of the compressor stator vanes of at least any stage of the compressor stator among the plurality of stages of compressor stators has a vane-shaped cross-section provided from a first side of the compressor stator vane to a second side of the compressor stator vane in a radial direction,
wherein the vane-shaped cross-section has, on a camber line, a camber reference point in which a ratio of an angle obtained by subtracting an exit metal angle from a metal angle to a camber angle is 50%, and a distance from a leading edge to the camber reference point is set to a 26-38% chord,
wherein the metal angle refers to an angle formed by a tangential direction of the camber line and an axial direction at an arbitrary position on the camber line,
wherein the camber angle refers to an angle obtained by adding an entrance metal angle to the exit metal angle,
wherein the entrance metal angle refers to an angle formed by the tangential direction of the camber line and the axial direction at an leading edge of the compressor stator vane, and
wherein the exit metal angle refers to an angle formed by the tangential direction of the camber line and the axial direction at a trailing edge of the compressor stator vane.

3. A gas turbine that exhausts a high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gas to thereby generate a propulsion force or a rotating force, the gas turbine comprising an axial flow compressor according to claim 2 .
