DESCRIPTION
HEAT EXCHANGE BULKHEAD
Technical Field [0001]
The present invention relates to a structure of a bulkhead for heat exchange and, in particular, to a heat exchange bulkhead suitable for cooling a combustor of a gas turbine.
Background Art [0002]
Known examples of a heat exchange bulkhead suitable for cooling the combustor of the gas turbine are disclosed in Patent Citations 1 and 2.
Patent Citation 1:
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, Publication No.
Patent Citation 2:
Publication of Japanese Patent No. 4084264 Disclosure of Invention [0003]
In heat exchange bulkheads disclosed in Patent Citations 1 and 2, part of cooling air flowing in the vicinity of the surface of a base plate along the surface of the base plate is disturbed by colliding with ribs provided upright on the surface of the base plate to produce a turbulent flow, and this turbulent flow removes heat from the root portions of fins or round pins provided upright on the surface of the base plate and from the surface of the base plate, thus cooling the root portions of the fins or round pins and the surface of the base plate.
However, the base plate is generally made of a heat-resistant alloy (for example, nickel based) that has excellent heat resistance but low thermal conductivity, and thus, a technology for more effectively cooling the base plate to further improve the efficiency of cooling the base plate is required.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention employs the following solutions.
According to the present invention, there is provided a heat exchange bulkhead including: a base plate; and a plurality of pin-fins provided upright on a surface of the base plate, a cooling medium flowing in the length direction of the base plate along the surface of the base plate, in which each of the pin-fins is entirely or partially inclined backward to a downstream side such that a top face thereof is located at the downstream side of a bottom face thereof.

[0006]
According to the heat exchange bulkhead of the present invention, each of the pin-fins is entirely or partially inclined backward such that the top face of the pin-fin is located at the downstream side of the bottom face thereof; thus, the cooling medium passing between the pin-fins arranged in the width direction collides with the surface of the base plate at an angle from the upstream side to efficiently remove heat from the surface of the base plate. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively cool the surface of the base plate and to further improve the efficiency of cooling the base plate.

In the above-described heat exchange bulkhead, it is more preferable that the surface of the base plate have a concave-convex surface having a wave shape in cross section in which a concave portion and a convex portion are alternately formed repeatedly along the length direction of the base plate;

Therefore, it is possible to more effectively cool the surface of the base plate and to further improve the efficiency of cooling the base plate.

Next, the effects of the heat exchange bulkhead 1 according to this embodiment will be described.
When cooling air 18 flowing through the gap between the surface 12a of the shell 12 and the surface 20a of the base plate 20 passes between the pin-fins 21 arranged in the width direction, the flow passage area thereof is narrowed down to 1/2 (if the height H is equal to the distance between the surface 20a of the base plate 20 and the surface 12a of the shell 12), and thus, the flow velocity thereof becomes double. Also, the cooling air 18 flows in the direction of the resultant force of a component in the direction along the straight line 22, which indicates the central axis of the pin-fin 21, and a component in the direction orthogonal to that component, specifically, the cooling air 18 flows in a direction in which it collides with the surface 20a of the base plate 20 at an angle from the upstream side (see FIG. 9, for example).
Thus, heat is efficiently removed from the surface 20a of the base plate 20, and therefore, it is possible to more effectively cool the surface 20a of the base plate 20 and to further improve the efficiency of cooling the base plate 20.

This is because, since the pin-fins 21 are provided upright on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 or on the downstream-side inclined surface 28a of the base plate 26 at the backward-inclination angle a (a = 45 degrees in the above-described embodiments and this experiment), or since the pin-fins 36 are provided upright on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 or on the upstream-side inclined surface 28b of the base plate 26 at the forward-inclination angle R ((3 = 45 degrees in the above-described embodiments and this experiment), the density of the pin-fins when they are viewed from the upstream side or the downstream side in the flow direction, that is, the projection area of the pin-fins projected on a plane orthogonal to the surface 12a of the shell 12, is reduced, suppressing a reduction in the flow passage area between the pin-fins.

Note that the heat-transfer coefficient on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 in the heat exchange bulkhead 1 (heat exchange bulkhead indicated by "-45 (flat)" in FIG. 16) described in the first embodiment, in which the pin-fins 21 are provided upright on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 at the backward-inclination angle a of 45 degrees, is lower than that in each of the heat exchange bulkhead 25 (heat exchange bulkhead indicated by "-45 (wave)" in FIG. 16) described in the second embodiment, in which the pin-fins 21 are provided upright on the downstream-side inclined surface 28a of the base plate 26 at the backward-inclination angle a of 45 degrees, and the heat exchange bulkhead 35 (heat exchange bulkhead indicated by 11+450 (wave) " in FIG. 16) described in the fourth embodiment, in which the pin-fins 36 are provided upright on the upstream-side inclined surface 28b of the base plate 26 at the forward-inclination angle R of 45 degrees. This point is also found by comparing FIG. 17 with FIG. 18: FIG. 17 visualizes the heat-transfer coefficient on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 in the heat exchange bulkhead 1 described in the first embodiment, in which the pin-fins 21 are provided upright on the surface 20a of the base plate 20 at the backward-inclination angle a of 45 degrees; and FIG. 18 visualizes the heat-transfer coefficient on the downstream-side inclined surface 28a of the base plate 26 in the heat exchange bulkhead 25 described in the second embodiment, in which the pin-f ins 21 are provided upright on the downstream-side inclined surface 28a of the base plate 26 at the backward-inclination angle a of 45 degrees.
