Abstract
Abstract A combined gas turbine plant comprises an air compressor, a combustor including a combustion chamber, a gas turbine, a steam turbine, and an exhaust heat recovery device having a denitration device and arranged at a location through which an exhaust gas passage for leading exhaust gas from the gas turbine to the atmosphere extends. An air extraction pipe equipped with a valve is provided for extracting a part of the air from the air compressor to prevent surging of the air compressor during starting of the plant, and another air extraction pipe equipped with a valve is provided for extracting a part of the air from an air passage extending from the compressor to the combustion chamber to improve stability of a flame and combustibility in the combustion chamber during the plant starting. The extraction pipes extend to and hence lead the extracted air into a portion of the exhaust gas passage located downstream of the denitration device.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A combined gas turbine plant comprising: an air compressor; a combustor including at least one combustion chamber and adapted to generate a gas of high temperature and high pressure by burning fuel in said at least one combustion chamber while utilizing as an oxidizer air compressed by said air compressor; a gas turbine adapted to be operated by the gas of high temperature and high pressure generated by said combustor; exhaust heat recovery means including denitration means arranged at a location through which an exhaust gas passage for leading exhaust gas from said gas turbine to the atmosphere extends, said exhaust heat recovery means recovering exhaust heat from said exhaust gas to generate steam of high temperature and high pressure; a steam turbine driven by the steam of high temperature and high pressure generated by said exhaust heat recovery means; air extraction means for leading a part of the air flowing from said air compressor to said at least one combustion chamber of said combustor into a portion of said exhaust gas passage located downstream of said denitration means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A combined gas turbine plant comprising: an air compressor; a combustor including at least one combustion chamber and adapted to generate a gas of high temperature and high pressure by burning fuel in said at least one combustion chamber while utilizing as an oxidizer air compressed by said air compressor; a gas turbine adapted to be operated by the gas of high temperature and high pressure generated by said combustor; exhaust heat recovery means including denitration means arranged at a location through which an exhaust gas passage for leading exhaust gas from said gas turbine to the atmosphere extends, said exhaust heat recovery means recovering exhaust heat from said exhaust gas to generate steam of high temperature and high pressure; a steam turbine driven by the steam of high temperature and high pressure generated by said exhaust heat recovery means; air extraction means for leading a part of the air flowing from said air compressor to said at least one combustion chamber of said combustor into a portion of said exhaust gas passage located downstream of said denitration means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 1, wherein said air extraction means includes an air extraction pipe and valve means for said air extraction pipe, said air extraction pipe being branched from an air passage extending from a discharge port of said air compressor to said combustion chamber of said combustor, and extending to said portion of said exhaust gas passage.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 2, wherein said combustor is a two-stage combustor, and said valve means is constructed to be opened to lead the air through said extraction pipe into said portion of said exhaust gas passage when fuel is introduced into a second combustion chamber of said two-staged combustor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 1, wherein said air extraction means includes an air extraction pipe for preventing surging of said air compressor and valve means for said air extraction pipe, said air extraction pipe extending from an intermediate stage of said air compressor to said portion of said exhaust gas passage.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 2, wherein said air extraction means includes an air extraction pipe for preventing surging of said air compressor and valve means for the latter air extraction pipe, the latter air extraction pipe extending from an intermediate stage of said air compressor to said portion of said exhaust gas passage.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 3, wherein said air extraction means includes an air extraction pipe for preventing surging of said air compressor and valve means for the latter air extraction pipe, the latter air extraction pipe extending from an intermediate stage of said air compressor to said portion of said exhaust gas passage.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
99 words
A combined gas turbine plant comprising: an air compressor means; a combustor means for generating a gas of a high temperature and a high pressure; a gas turbine means operable by said combustor means; exhaust heat recovery means including denitration means disposed in an exhaust gas passage means of said gas turbine means; and means for extracting air from said compressor means and for bypassing said denitration means by leading the extracted air to a portion of the exhaust gas passage means downstream of the denitration means thereby preventing a cooling of exhaust gases supplied to the denitration means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
99 words
A combined gas turbine plant comprising: an air compressor means; a combustor means for generating a gas of a high temperature and a high pressure; a gas turbine means operable by said combustor means; exhaust heat recovery means including denitration means disposed in an exhaust gas passage means of said gas turbine means; and means for extracting air from said compressor means and for bypassing said denitration means by leading the extracted air to a portion of the exhaust gas passage means downstream of the denitration means thereby preventing a cooling of exhaust gases supplied to the denitration means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
A combined gas turbine plant according to claim 7, wherein said means for extracting and for bypassing includes an air passage means for connecting a discharge port means of said air compressor means to the exhaust gas passage means downstream of the denitration means.
