Abstract

In a cooling system of ring segment that cools a ring segment of a gas turbine, the segment body of the ring segment is constituted from a collision plate that has a small hole that blows out cooling air, a cooling space that is enclosed by the collision plate and the main body of the segment body; a first cavity that receives the cooling air from the cooling space; and a first cooling passage, of which one end communicates with the first cavity, and the other end blows out the cooling air from openings that are arranged in the side end portion into combustion gas; the openings of the first cooling passages being arranged so that the arrangement pitch of the openings becomes smaller or the opening area of the openings becomes larger on the upstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas than the openings on the downstream, and are arranged so that the arrangement pitch of the openings becomes larger or the opening area of the openings becomes smaller on the downstream in the flow direction of the combustion gas than the openings on the upstream.
