Abstract
A high efficiency coolant collection type gas turbine is obtained by forming coolant supply and collection flow paths for moving blades in a more outer peripheral side of a gas turbine rotor than a hub, supplying the coolant supplied from a shaft end into the moving blades through the supply flow path, collecting the coolant after cooling into a combustion chamber side, supplying air extracted from a compressor to cool moving blades of a downstream side stage or a rotor outer wall through slits formed from a turbine rotor central portion to the hub, reducing rotor thermal stress and a pressure loss of the coolant flow paths and cooling a high stage side of a compressor rotor.
