Abstract

The gas turbine facility 10 of the embodiment includes a combustor 20 combusting fuel and oxidant, a turbine 21 rotated by combustion gas, a heat exchanger 23 cooling the combustion gas, a heat exchanger 24 removing water vapor from the combustion gas which passed through the heat exchanger 23 to regenerate dry working gas, and a compressor 25 compressing the dry working gas until it becomes supercritical fluid. Further, the gas turbine facility 10 includes a pipe 42 guiding a part of the dry working gas from the compressor 25 to the combustor 20 via the heat exchanger 23, a pipe 44 exhausting a part of the dry working gas to the outside, and a pipe 45 introducing a remaining part of the dry working gas exhausted from the compressor 25 into a pipe 40 coupling an outlet of the turbine 21 and an inlet of the heat exchanger 23.
