Abstract

A gas turbine denitrifies combustion gas by using a denitrification catalyst and ammonia as a reducing agent, the gas turbine includes: a turbine provided with turbine blades, the turbine blades being exposed to the combustion gas reaching a temperature higher than an average value in a temperature distribution of the combustion gas, and a compressor configured to supply the turbine blades with a cooling air and the ammonia, wherein the gas turbine is configured to lower the temperature of the turbine blades by supplying the turbine blades with the ammonia and the cooling air.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gas turbine denitrifying combustion gas by using a denitrification catalyst and ammonia as a reducing agent, the gas turbine comprising:
a turbine provided with an intake port, a scroll flow path, a plurality of stator vanes, and a plurality of branch flow paths each arranged to supply a cooling air to a respective one of the stator vanes, and
a compressor configured to supply the branch flow paths with the cooling air,
wherein the gas turbine is configured to lower the temperature of part of the stator vanes by selectively supplying part of the branch flow paths communicating with the part of the stator vanes arranged along a circumferential direction of the scroll flow path and exposed to combustion gas having a temperature higher than an average temperature of the combustion gas with the ammonia in a liquid state after being premixed with the cooling air supplied from the compressor, and
wherein the average temperature of the combustion gas flowing from the intake port into the scroll flow path is specified by measuring a temperature distribution of the combustion gas at the intake port.

2. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the gas turbine is configured such that the ammonia in the liquid state supplied to the part of the stator vanes is supplied to a combustor as a fuel after cooling the part of the stator vanes.

3. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the gas turbine is configured such that the ammonia in the liquid state supplied to the part of the stator vanes is injected into a combustion gas flow path after cooling the part of the stator vanes and is discharged from the turbine after mixing with the combustion gas.

4. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the gas turbine is configured to generate the combustion gas by combusting the ammonia in the liquid state at least as some of a fuel.

5. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein each of the stator vanes has a flow path of the ammonia in the liquid state in each of the turbine blades.

6. The gas turbine according to claim 1 , wherein each of the stator vanes has a flow path for discharging the ammonia in the liquid state from an inside of each of the stator vanes toward an outside of each of the stator vanes.

7. The gas turbine according to claim 2 , wherein the gas turbine is configured to generate the combustion gas by combusting the ammonia in the liquid state at least as some of a fuel.

8. The gas turbine according to claim 3 , wherein the gas turbine is configured to generate the combustion gas by combusting the ammonia in the liquid state at least as some of a fuel.

9. The gas turbine according to claim 2 , wherein each of the stator vanes has a flow path of the ammonia in the liquid state in each of the stator vanes.

10. The gas turbine according to claim 3 , wherein each of the stator vanes has a flow path of the ammonia in the liquid state in each of the stator vanes.

11. The gas turbine according to claim 2 , wherein each of the stator vanes has a flow path for discharging the ammonia in the liquid state from an inside of each of the stator vanes toward an outside of each of the stator vanes.
