A cooling steam system for a steam cooled gas turbine is configured such that a main stream of exhaust from a high pressure turbine is branched from a line leading to a reheater, and supplied as cooling steam for a high temperature moving blade and a high temperature stationary blade of the gas turbine, and the cooling steam is then recovered into an inlet area or an intermediate area of the reheater; whereby the bottoming side and the steam cooled side can be operated under preferred conditions without adverse influence on the bottoming side.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 24, 1998 and granted April 24, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 24, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 24, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
