Abstract
A steam cooled blade operating in a high temperature gas with a high cooling effect on a trailing edge portion has an impingement plate, disposed in the blade lengthwise direction within a trailing edge side cooling passage formed on a trailing edge side of a moving blade. The impingement plate partitions the trailing edge side cooling passage into a convection cooling steam passage, into which steam is introduced, and an impingement cooling steam passage, formed along a trailing edge of the moving blade. The steam cooled blade further has a by-pass passage 14 for joining the steam, after it is used for cooling the moving blade, flowing from a blade tip side of the impingement cooling steam passage with the steam flowing to a leading edge direction of the moving blade from the convection cooling steam passage.
