ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine moving blade steam cooling system in which leakage of steam for cooling a moving blade is prevented and thermal stress at a blade root end portion is mitigated. Each end portion of a blade root portion (3) of the moving blade (1) is projected so as to form a projection portions (4a, 4b). A steam passage 5 is provided between the projection portions (4a, 4b) and a steam supply port 5a and a steam recovery port (5b) are provided downwardly with the respect to the steam passage 5. The steam supply port (5a) connects to a steam supply passage (20) and the steam recovery port (5b) connects to a steam recovery passage (21). Steam is supplied from the steam supply port (5a) into a blade interior and is recovered through the steam recovery port (5b). Side surface seal plates (6, 7 and 8) are provided for preventing steam leakage. The steam cools the moving blade (1) and can be recovered without leakage and stress concentration due to heat at the projection portions (4a, 4b) of the blade root end portion.
