Closed-loop brayton cycle system with turbine blade cooling
Abstract
A closed-loop Brayton cycle system utilizes supercritical carbon dioxide as the working fluid for the system to achieve higher efficiencies than can be achieved with traditional open-loop gas turbine engines. A bleed channel is used to direct a flow of cooling fluid to cool the turbine blades during operation of the system, preventing damage to the turbine blades during operation of the system. The bleed channel includes a bleed inlet fluidly coupled between a first recuperator and a second recuperator and a bleed outlet fluidly coupled to the turbine blades. The bleed channel is configured to direct the flow of cooling fluid to the turbine blades at a desired temperature and pressure.
