In turbo machine, be positioned in the hot gas path and stand to be in hot gas under the temperature that is higher than one or more member fusing points in these members such as some member of nozzle, turbine, blade or guard shield such as gas turbine.In some contemporary gas turbine, the temperature of hot gas can be up to 1600 ℃.Therefore, in many cases, the member that is positioned in the hot gas path is cooled at the turbo machine run duration.In exemplary conventional system, the air that oozes out from the compressor of gas turbine is used to cool off these members.Yet this air has consumed the firing chamber that a large amount of merits or energy are walked around gas turbine.The air member that enters into turbine bucket for example or nozzle cools off them then, so they can survive in the hot gas path.Afterwards, air is released and gets back in the hot gas path.Because air gets around the firing chamber, its any fuel and do not obtain extra momentum of not burning.Therefore, this air can not be done useful work in other turbine stage.As a result, the efficient of gas turbine reduces.
In other exemplary conventional system, heated components can be by steam rather than the air cooling of taking out from compressor.Steam can extract and send into pipeline then the turbine components that is heated that is positioned in the hot gas path from steam turbine.This steam have usually higher heat-transfer coefficient and therefore the turbine components in the self-heating gas path absorb more heats.Therefore, steam cooling can provide the improvement that is better than air cooling solution solution.Steam can be taken from gas path and is incorporated into steam turbine once more then.Therefore, some heat energy in the heat energy that obtains of steam self-heating gas path can recover in steam turbine to produce extra useful work.Therefore, under exemplary cases, the efficient of the gas turbine of steam cooling can be greater than air cooled gas turbine.
But the system of conventional steam cooling can be very complicated.For example, steam is taken from fixing tube and must be led to the blade of rotation.Steam supply and recovery system must keep excellent sealing, because steam exists with very high pressure and otherwise will cause leakage in vapour system.In addition, because steam is advanced and got back to steam turbine, vapour system also should be sealed to keep purity.
Therefore, existence is for the needs of the system and method for the heated components that is used for cooling turbomachine.

Embodiment
Now more fully describe exemplary embodiment of the present invention hereinafter, wherein show some but not all embodiments referring to accompanying drawing.In fact, the present invention can implement and should not be construed as to be limited to the embodiment that this paper is set forth with many different forms; Make present disclosure will satisfy suitable legal requiremnt and provide these embodiments.Similar reference character refers to similar element all the time.
The speed that starts turbo machine and increase turbo machine causes the burning in the turbine combustion chamber.During burning, the temperature of the hot gas that is produced can be far above the fusing point of the various turbine components that are arranged in the hot gas path.Therefore, for the turbine components that is heated in the hot gas path of cooling turbomachine, cooling liquid can be atomized and be transported to is heated near turbine components place or its.Since cooling liquid (such as: water for example) it absorbs more multipotency during liquid phase-change is gas, with only comparing in steam cooling or the only air cooled turbo machine, will more effectively cool off these members near atomized liquid coolant is supplied to be heated turbine components or its.In addition, cooling liquid is mixed into the cooling mechanism that has served as air in the air extraly, the air mixture is transported to the turbine components that is heated afterwards.
Fig. 1 is the functional-block diagram of system 100 of turbine components of being heated that is used to cool off according to an embodiment of the invention.In the exemplary embodiment, the turbine components that is heated can be turbine bucket 102, such as first order turbine bucket 102.But, will be appreciated that other turbine components also can be cooled off by system and method as herein described such as turbine wheel, turbomachine injection nozzle, turbomachine shroud or its any combination.In gas turbine, hot gas produces in the firing chamber, forms to be in about 1000 ℃ of hot gas temperatures to about 1600 ℃ of scopes.After leaving the firing chamber, hot gas can pass the first order turbomachine injection nozzle 104 of gas turbine at first, and it is communicated with the turbine components that is heated such as turbine bucket 102.Will be appreciated that, for purposes of illustration, in Fig. 1, only show a first order turbomachine injection nozzle 104, and other exemplary turbo machine can comprise a plurality of nozzles, blade etc.Therefore, turbomachine injection nozzle 104 and turbine bucket 102 or other turbine components are exposed to the hot gas that is under the very high temperature.Therefore, these turbine components may stand the temperature far above the construction material melting point.
For cooling turbomachine blade 102, carry air from the compressor 106 of gas turbine.Air can at first pass the inner space 108 of turbomachine injection nozzle 104.After leaving turbomachine injection nozzle 104, air passes guide 110, and guide 110 further releases air near the root 112 of turbine bucket 102.Root 112 is the radially penetralia part of turbine bucket 102.Root 112 has attachment feature (as shown in Figure 2) usually, this attachment feature is shaped such that turbine bucket 102 is attachable on the turbine wheel, in addition, guide 110 discharging air make air be directed to and guide to enter turbine bucket 102 through root 112.Fig. 1 also shows pipeline 114, and this pipeline 114 makes cooling liquid pass turbomachine injection nozzle 104.In the exemplary embodiment, cooling liquid is from fluid supply 116.In an exemplary embodiment, cooling liquid can be essentially water, but should be appreciated that in other embodiments, and fluid supply 116 can be carried the cooling liquid except water.After passing pipeline 114, cooling liquid is passed fluid injector 118.Fluid injector 118 is transported to cooling liquid near be heated turbine components or its.For example, as shown in Figure 1, fluid injector can be transported to cooling liquid near the root 112 of turbine bucket 102.Should be appreciated that in other exemplary embodiment fluid injector 118 can be transported to cooling liquid other turbine components, for example, such as turbine wheel, turbomachine injection nozzle, turbomachine shroud or its any combination.
In various exemplary embodiments, fluid injector 118 can be positioned at turbine wheel inside or turbomachine shroud outside.The determining positions of fluid injector 118 is being heated near turbine components 102 places or discharge the position of cooling liquid it.In various exemplary embodiments, fluid injector 118 can be ejector type, Venturi type etc.
If the cooling liquid of carrying from fluid injector 118 directly contacts the turbine components that is heated, such as turbine bucket 102, cooling liquid can cause the significantly reduction of temperature at the regional area that cooling liquid contacted.This may cause high-temperature gradient in construction material, thereby may cause high stress gradients in the heated components material, makes to produce cracking at the some place that cooling liquid contacted.For fear of this damage to the turbine components that is heated, in one exemplary embodiment, cooling liquid is discharged in the air with atomised form and at least a portion of this cooling liquid is being a gas from liquid phase-change with air mixing and when being exposed to high temperature.Avoided certain the some place on heated components directly to contact to the phase transformation of gas by the cooling liquid of liquid form.
In some cases, the cooling liquid of leaving fluid supply 116 can be in the pressure lower than the pressure of the air that leaves compressor 106.In this case, cooling liquid can not be discharged in the air with atomised form and therefore may not can evenly distributes by air dielectric.Therefore, cooling liquid can be in it be released to air dielectric before supercharging.Therefore, in one exemplary embodiment, can use suction booster to come, make cooling liquid to leave with atomised form basically and arrive air dielectric and near be heated turbine components or its, evenly distribute by air dielectric to the cooling liquid supercharging.For example, cooling liquid can be supercharged to about 2.8 * 10 6N/m 2(400psi) or higher pressure.
Cooling liquid and air mixing also can be of value to cool off the turbine components that is heated, because compare with the gaseous form of cooling liquid and cooling liquid and the specific heat of air, the latent heat of vaporization of cooling liquid is very high.For example, if cooling liquid is a water, the specific heat of the latent heat of vaporization of water, specific heat of water and steam is respectively about 2.26 * 10 so 2J/kg, 4.184J/kg-℃ and 2J/kg-℃.Therefore, in the turbo machine of steam cooling, for every kilogram of steam, about 1 ℃ increase can absorb 2 joules heat, and in water-cooled turbo machine, for every kilogram water, about 1 ℃ increase can absorb 4.184 joules heat.But water is transformed in the system (such as system 100) of steam therein, and every kilogram water can absorb 2.26 * 10 when being transformed into steam 2The heat of joule.In addition, this betides big under the steady temperature of water boiling point.Water is with 2.26 * 10 2J/kg-℃ of heat absorption is transformed into steam up to all basically water.This provides very strong hot scoopability for cooling liquid.In addition, cooling liquid is served as the cooling mechanism of air to the transformation of gas subsequently to airborne mixing and its, and air and gaseous mixture are transported near the turbine components that is heated (such as turbine bucket 102) afterwards.In the exemplary embodiment of at least one turbine bucket 102 of cooling, in case cooling liquid is phase-changed into gaseous medium, gas and air mixture just can enter the inner space 120 of turbine bucket 102 through root 112.
In one exemplary embodiment, can provide pipe-line system 122 alternatively, fluid supply 116 be connected to fluid injector 118 and guarantee the correct conveying of cooling liquid from fluid supply 116 and fluid injector 118.In addition, pipe-line system 122 can be in that wherein temperature is high in fact to cooling liquid is phase-changed in the environment of gaseous form.This makes cooling liquid lose some hot scoopability, and it is kept better to be used to the turbine components 102 that is heated.Phase transformation for fear of cooling liquid to gas, pipe-line system 122 also can be isolated with its surrounding environment heat.In addition, pipe-line system 122 can be corroded owing to the corrosive action of cooling liquid.Therefore, in one exemplary embodiment, pipe-line system 122 can be provided with corrosion resistant coating.
In some cases, at system's 100 run durations, the speed that reduces gas turbine is no longer moved gas turbine with predetermined load.Gas turbine can need the self-heating gas path to purge the excessive cooling liquid that is not transformed into gas phase.Therefore, in one exemplary embodiment, in gas turbine, provide purging unit 124 alternatively.Yet exemplary gas turbine engine can generally include the discharge system that discharges unburned fuel in gas turbine.Therefore, in one exemplary embodiment, fuel is discharged system can be along with extending in order to the purging unit 124 that purges any excessive cooling liquid residual in the path.
Fig. 2 is the view of exemplary turbine bucket 202 according to an embodiment of the invention, and it has represented the example of at least one turbine components that is heated in the hot gas path 216 of turbo machine.Turbine bucket 202 has the first side 218A and the second side 218B, and the first side 218A and the second side 218B are the relative wall of turbine bucket 202 and form inner space 208 in the turbine bucket 202.Turbine bucket 202 can comprise a plurality of holes 204 and bucket platform 206.Hole 204 extends through the first side 218A and the second side 218B of turbine bucket 202.Cooling liquid and AIR MIXTURES 210 can be transported near the root 212 of turbine bucket 202 or its, and at this point, mixture 210 enters turbine bucket 202 by bucket platform 206.Mixture 210 further passes inner space 208.Because air has been in about 750 ℃ high temperature and cooling liquid evenly distributes in air with atomised form, cooling liquid is from the air heat absorption and become basic gas phase.Because the cooling liquid of mixture 210 is transformed into gas, has formed gaseous mixture 214.Then, gaseous mixture 214 can leave hole 204 at least in part and enters in the hot gas path 216.
