Inline enclosed hydroelectric power system
Technical field
The present invention relates to hydraulic power generation technology, be specifically related to a kind of being easily installed in drinking water or the salt water pipe, utilize the kinetic energy of water in the pipe and the inline enclosed hydroelectric power system that unnecessary head generates electricity.
Background technique
In a city, drinking water and salt water (middle water) supply generally is to distribute to numerous buildings by the foggara network of complexity to use.For guaranteeing the reliability of drinking water and salt water supply, water flow velocity, hydraulic pressure and the leakage situation of monitoring under ground piping are extremely important.Even if the market has different sensors and instrument to measure water flow velocity, hydraulic pressure and leakage situation, be very difficult but sometimes will obtain continuous and suitable power supply supply along the line at pipeline.On the one hand, although pipe network may have the high voltage supply cable along the line, therefrom obtain a small amount of electric power and supply monitoring equipment and in engineering, safety, cost and management, all have any problem.On the other hand, the current in the water pipe are a kind of cleaning and the energy continuously just, and consuming the part head is enough to supply normally stable work of monitoring equipment.In addition, have unnecessary head on some water supply networks in the open air, this head can convert power supply to fully to the application of detection and field illuminating etc.
Compare with general hydroelectric power system, utilize the requirement of generating electricity of current in the water pipe can not pollute water (especially drinking water), can not cause leakage, can not cause too large loss of pressure head and under relatively low flow velocity, operate.The system that utilizes the current in the water pipe to generate electricity can be divided into non-inline enclosed and inline enclosed two classes.Non-inline closed system needs an existing pipeline excision part is changed the pipeline that includes water turbine.The method is because pipework is complicated, and required engineering space is large and engineering time is longer, carries out such installing engineering meeting in the thickly populated city pedestrian and traffic are made troubles.Inline closed system only needs trunnion on existing pipeline punches and welds, and then water turbine is inserted and just can.The method is because pipework is simpler, and required engineering space is less and engineering time is shorter, is particularly suitable for carrying out in the thickly populated city installing engineering.
Because in inline closed system, water (flow) direction becomes 90 degree with the water turbine rotating shaft, therefore must use the vertical shaft turbine design.Existing vertical shaft turbine generally adopts resistance type turbine and lift-type turbine.Two kinds of turbines generally all are applied in the open environment.Figure 11 shows that the schematic representation of resistance type (Savonius) turbine that is applied in the open environment, as shown in figure 11, the resistance type turbine of prior art has a framework, described framework comprises end face 81 and bottom surface 82, have two semi-cylindrical shaped blades 83 that are fixed in end face 81 and bottom surface 82 between end face 81 and the bottom surface 82, promote blade 83 when current pass through the resistance type turbine, make turbine center on axle center 84 rotations, the output torque is used for generating electricity.This traditional resistance type turbine efficiency is low, and if in open environment the excessive or lobe numbers of blade gap cross at most and can cause decrease in efficiency.
About lift-type turbine prior art the example that is applied in the enclosed environment is arranged, for example the inline closed system of U.S. Northwest PowerPipe company production has just adopted ball formula Gorlov lift-type (lift-type) turbine, but in view of the lift-type turbine is compared with the resistance type turbine, could be better in the lift-type turbine situation that only, blade tip flow velocity higher at flow velocity is larger be electric energy with the kinetic transformation of water, therefore this system need be applied in the above pipeline of 1200mm diameter, or flow rate of water flow reaches in the above situation of 3m/s and just can effectively generate electricity.But incity, the city general diameter of ground end water pipe is less, and flow rate of water flow is low, so this design and inapplicable.
