Abstract
Part of compressed air discharged from a compressor is cooled by a cooler, and merged with a working fluid for a turbine to cool rotor blades of the turbine. Further, air from the compressor is bled through introduction passages, and the bled air is cooled by coolers and introduced to stationary blades of the turbine. The stationary blades of the turbine are cooled with air cooled by the coolers. A sufficient cooling effect is obtained by a small amount of air, and the amount of compressed air bled through the introduction passages is decreased. Compression power is converted into turbine output effectively.
