METHOD OF COOLING GAS TURBINE ROTOR BY CONTINUOUS POWER CONVERSION BY ENDOTHERMIC REACTION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F02C7/16 F01K21/04 F02C7/224 F02C3/30 F25D5/00 F01K23/06 F02C6/10 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: air is compressed in compressor to be fed into combustion chamber for fuel combustion. Resulted hot gas is fed for expansion to active gas power turbine to drive compressor. Converted fuel with increased absolute calorific power is afterburnt in endothermic reaction of initial fuel in steam reforming reactor. Parallel thermal cycle is conducted wherein heated mix of water with hydrocarbon fuel is fed via turbine hollow shaft into reaction chamber. Reaction chamber comprises porous carbon metal container arranged inside pressure gas turbine that stays in contact with power turbine or makes an integral part thereof. Reactor is rotated to compress said mix partially during endothermic reaction. Mix is partially heated by turbine cooling and by waste gas heat and, then, is discharged via jet nozzles to generate extra torque.

EFFECT: higher efficiency and safety.
