Abstract

The present invention relates to apparatuses (20) for large scale media conditioning and systems of a plurality of such apparatuses (20). The elements of the devices (20) according to the invention are optimally combined in one block, which can largely be industrially prefabricated and easily adapted to the various applications and sites.

Description

The The present invention relates generally to large scale apparatus Media conditioning according to the preamble of claim 1 and a System of several such devices.

The present invention also relates to devices for conditioning combustion air, which is supplied to gas turbines. The combustion air of gas turbines is cleaned in so-called filter houses of solid and liquid particles in order to pressurize the working machine with the cleanest possible air. For this purpose, in such an air filter house, mist eliminators, bird screens and usually one or two filter stages are installed. Since the filters as well as the compressors of the gas turbine tend to freeze under given outside air conditions - high relative humidity and temperatures around the freezing point - the air is additionally preheated during this season. For this purpose, heat exchangers, infrared radiators or hot air or rare exhaust manifolds are installed in a filter house, which preheat the intake air indirectly or directly. Such a device 1 is purely schematic in 1 shown using the anti-icing system 2 , the weather protection grid 3 , the grid 4 , the pre-filter wall 5 , the fine filter wall 6 , the protective grid 7 , the transition piece 8th , the background silencer 9 and the supply air duct 10 as well as the gas turbine 11 are clearly visible. It is essential that filter houses of gas turbines are practically always adapted individually to the particular application and site and made individually or only in small batches. This is associated with a high design effort and long delivery times.

In The result is hardly an optimum regarding flow and pressure loss reached. A high flow velocity causes a high pressure loss. Unevenly flowed Air filters pollute faster. A small number of air filters also leads to faster pollution and to a sharp increase in pressure loss. A high pressure loss in the filter house causes corresponding performance losses of Gas turbine. Possibly. need the dirty filters during the operation of the gas turbine under unfavorable conditions become. A single or two-stage air filtration leads thereby to an increased dirt entry in the compressor the gas turbine. This dirt settles on the compressor blades (fouling) and also leads to rising output and efficiency losses.

Therefore It is also common for the compressor of the gas turbine in operation (online) or in the parked and cooled Condition (offline) to wash. This is done with special washing facilities High pressure suitable washing solution introduced into the compressor and the baked dirt washed off again and rinsed out. For online washes, the performance of the gas turbine usually has to be reduced become. For offline washes, the gas turbine goes for completely out of service for many hours. Both reduces the availability of the gas turbine as the drive of a Electric generator or a gas compressor and thus the yield of the operator.

With rising intake air temperature, the performance and efficiency fall the gas turbine. To compensate for this, the intake air becomes summer cooled. For this you also use direct or indirect Method. The direct cooling is due to the evaporation or injection of water into the intake tract and thus associated adiabatic cooling effect possible. Indirectly, the intake air can with heat exchangers be cooled with natural or artificial acted upon cooled heat transfer media become.

to Improvement of air filtration is known, the combustion air for gas turbines in three stages to filter. this leads to However, from the beginning to an increased pressure loss with the consequences already described. The filter elements are included their change under difficult conditions over ladders or transported by cable winches.

Furthermore, it is known to condition the combustion air for gas turbines hybrid. For this purpose, the combustion air is either heated dry or moistened with a hybrid cooler, or simultaneously heated and moistened ( DE 10 2004 050 182 A1 ). It is also known to combine these process steps in a filter house. Thus, the combustion air of the gas turbine can first coarse filtered in a first filter stage, then conditioned in a hybrid cooler and then finely and finely filtered in two other filter stages.

Of the Disadvantage of this solution is that it consists of two Filter house halves before and after the hybrid cooler consists. This leads to enormous installation effort on the construction site, because the parts can only ever be moved individually with a crane. Furthermore, connecting flanges or flexible compensators required between the individual components. Also are the parts through the tub under the hybrid cooler of different Height, so that there are steps in the foundation or the support. To achieve greater air flow rates several modules needed to be stacked on top of each other at the job site be put. The hybrid coolers require a special traverse to their lifting, the separately delivered and transported away again must become. The hybrid coolers are airtight to each other connect to avoid untreated air bypass flows.

The low air velocity that the hybrid coolers require to prevent a drop discharge, resulting in a low Pressure loss of the hybrid filter house despite coupling with a three-stage air filtration. The result, however, is about twice so big suction area and about three times as big filter house, as usual. This is associated with a correspondingly higher weight, which complicates conversions to the new process and corresponding Substructures required.

at larger gas turbines would be more than 10 of the listed hybrid cooler required. It arises Difficulties in unifying them in an air filter house. So can a maximum of 3 hybrid coolers on top of each other be stacked without the statics of the cooler housing to change.

Also known are compact air conditioning units for the air conditioning of air flows in buildings. Here, too, air is filtered, heated or cooled and humidified or dehumidified, depending on the climatic situation and the requirements of the furnished premises (eg. DE 44 07 806 ). However, these devices are not standardized worldwide, not stackable or suitable for larger volumes of air. Gas turbines in turn do not require the complete functionality of air conditioning compact devices.

The The object of the invention is therefore to a device for large-scale media conditioning to provide the most industrially prefabricated and easy on various use cases and sites can be adjusted. In this case, the transport and installation costs be kept low. The device should be particularly special easily be coupled to a system of such devices.

The Features, characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be described below from the description of preferred embodiments be clear from the drawing. Showing:

In the 2 to 4 is the device according to the invention 20 purely schematically in a preferred embodiment shown frontally and in two side views. In this device 20 it is a large-scale device 20 for conditioning the combustion air of gas turbines (not shown, similar to FIG 1 ). The device 20 has a container 21 on, with the container 21 along its length in the circumferential direction with closed side walls 22 . 23 . 24 . 25 is trained. The container 21 is as a 40 'container 21 formed, ie it has the essential structural details of such a container and thus also its dimensions (height 2591 mm, width 2438 mm, length 12192 mm). The two side walls 26 . 27 along the length of the container 21 On the other hand, they are essentially open in such a way that they form a flow channel for the combustion air (arrows indicate in all figures the direction of the flow of the combustion air) 28 forms, whereby the longitudinal cross-section of the container 21 essentially flows through the combustion air. The only part of the cross section of the container 21 , which is not flowed through, is the vestibule 29 , the side behind the side wall 25 is arranged and opposite the actual conditioning room 30 two closable openings in the form of doors (only schematically indicated with a cross) has. In contrast, for example, to conventional building air conditioning devices, where these devices are flowed through in the longitudinal direction, the device 20 flows through in a transverse direction, whereby the filter surface advantageously increases and thus the flow resistance and the number of required devices 20 are reduced.

The device 20 also has three filter rows 31 . 32 . 33 , and a heat exchanger 34 on, as a hybrid heat exchanger 34 trained and between the first 31 and second filter series 32 is arranged. Before the first filter series 31 is a rain deflector with bird screen 35 arranged. In the floor 24 of the container 20 is a tub 36 arranged with a walk-in grate 37 is covered. The filter series 31 . 32 . 33 have a variety of filter elements 38 on, in suitable holding devices 39 in the filter rows matrix-like (in the present case 17 × 4 filter elements 38 ) are arranged. By adapting these holding devices 39 Different filter makes can be used or retrofitted at any time.

The hybrid heat exchanger 34 is used for cooling (or preheating), has a flow 34a and a return 34b and is fed with a heat transfer medium (cooling medium in the case of the present cooling) and wetting water as secondary media, wherein the wetting water on the hybrid heat exchanger 34 as in a graduated works, including corresponding water ducts (not shown) are provided. For cooling or preheating, the heat transfer medium is passed through substantially horizontally along the length of the container 21 running ribbed tubes 40 guided, which communicate with each other hydraulically. These ribbed tubes 40 are flown by the combustion air flow and extract heat from the combustion air or heat them up. At the same time, the combustion air is humidified by the humidifying water and cooled adiabatically in addition or with a time lag. The wetting water gets in the tub 36 collected and from there by means of a sweeper pump 41 in a make-up line 42 transported back and over water distribution channels (not shown) on the hybrid heat exchanger 34 redistributed. In the refill line 42 are still a conductivity meter 43 , a drain valve 44 and a make-up valve 45 provided, with spent wetting water on the Abschlämmventil 44 drained and fresh water via the make-up valve 45 is refilled when the conductivity of the wetting water rises above a predetermined value and thus indicates its excessive pollution. The make-up also takes place when the level in the drip tray 36 has dropped by evaporation. If there is a risk of frost, the drain pan is emptied in the same way 36 , With several stacked devices 20 are the pipes (not shown) for emptying and feeding of the individual devices 20 via collectors (not shown) interconnected.

Furthermore, the device 20 a continuous service step 46 on to allow the operator to maintain, and the vestibule 29 indicates the amount of the first 31 Filter row each doors 47 (Landing level security doors) in the ground 24 and in the roof 22 on, causing the vestibules 29 stacked devices 20 accessible together. Additionally is in the anteroom 29 a climbing ladder 48 provided, on which also a lift (not shown) can be arranged. The ladders 48 stacked devices 20 serve the staff to climb the respective level. Through the floor-level security doors 47 or lu kenartigen cover in the gratings are the required openings in the roofs 22 or floors 24 the anterooms 29 secured against falling. The lift can be made to pass over the ladders 48 stacked devices 20 is movable across. With the lift can several fresh filter elements 38 at the same time convenient and with great speed up to its designation level, or soiled filter elements 38 to be transported downwards for disposal. From the anteroom 29 lead airtight doors (only schematically indicated with a cross) to the respective filter rows 31 . 32 . 33 before and after the hybrid heat exchanger 34 , The exchange of the filter elements 38 is done by the soiled elements 38 expanded from front to back and then the new elements 38 be reinstalled from the back to the front. In the removed state of the first filter series 31 can be the hybrid heat exchanger 34 clean from the front. In the removed state of a filter element 38 the second filter series 32 can the space behind the hybrid heat exchanger 34 reach if necessary over the continuous operating step 46 to clean or adjust the water distribution of the wetting water on the back.

Finally, in the anteroom 29 a return collector 49 and a flow collector (not shown) with the corresponding inlet and outlet ports for the heat transfer medium arranged. With several stacked devices 20 become the collectors 49 of all devices 20 in the lead 34a and in the return 34b interconnected. About the flow pipe of the lower device 20 all hybrid heat exchangers 34 for the anti-icing applied with an antifreeze-containing heat transfer medium. As a heat source for the anti-icing waste heat of the gas turbine, for example, the lubricating oil is preferably used. The return 34b the upper device 20 is returned via a separate collector. This allows a uniform loading of all devices 20 in the Tichelmann system (a rule known from heating technology to connect all consumers via supply and return lines of the same length) and complete venting of all elements of the hybrid heat exchangers 34 ,

The hybrid heat exchanger 34 additionally fulfills the function of a mist eliminator and coalescer. However, these conditioning devices to further improve the separation function of mist and drops even physically in the direction of passage of the combustion air after the hybrid heat exchanger 34 be retrofitted, which in most cases, however, will not be necessary because hybrid heat exchanger 34 proven to work without swarf.

For controlling the wetting functions, the device has 20 a control box 50 , For measuring the differential pressure of the individual filter series 31 . 32 . 33 and optionally also the hybrid heat exchanger 34 Differential pressure gauges (not shown) are installed. The degree of contamination can be deduced from the differential pressure measured values and measures can be taken to replace the filter elements if there is a sharp increase 38 be planned. For measuring the air temperature and the relative humidity before and after the hybrid heat exchanger 34 are also installed appropriate measuring devices (not shown). If the air temperature in front of the gas turbine drops below 5 ° C, the humidification of the combustion air goes out of operation, above about 7.5 ° C back into operation.

The device 20 now conditions large-scale combustion air for a gas turbine, the air through the rain deflector and the bird screen 35 occurs and over the first filter row 31 is cleaned. Then it flows through the hybrid heat exchanger 34 , the air by means of the cooling circuit 37 Adds heat or wets this over the wetting water and cools additional or delayed. The thus conditioned combustion air is again in the two successive filter series 32 . 33 cleaned and fed to the gas turbine in a suitable manner.

The container 21 the device 20 is designed to hold up to 9 devices 20 Both when transporting by ship and in the warehouse in the port or at the site are stacked on top of each other. The transport can be done inexpensively with standard means of transport without additional packaging overseas. That the container 21 is self-supporting and stackable, can be achieved either by the fact that the container itself is formed, including even special stiffening elements can be provided. For example, here offer triangular stiffening plates, which are almost rectangular and each have a catheter, which are parallel to the container sides 23 . 25 extends and is connected to a container side. The much shorter catheter is connected to the long catheter of the next stiffening element, so that there is a frame-shaped stiffening, which is very easy to produce. Alternatively, they can also be rectangular triangles, with the cathets of two triangles each overlapping. Alternatively, the container 21 achieve its rigidity only by the fact that the holding devices 39 for the filter elements 38 , possibly in interaction with the filter elements 38 additionally stiffen it.

For the assembly of the devices 20 The number of necessary crane strokes is reduced from four to two, with the devices 20 self-supporting are formed and therefore not like the hybrid cooler so far require a special traverse for their own lifting.

The result is a reduction in the outer dimensions of the filter container 21 in depth with about 2.4 m and a mass reduction in a 40 'container of about 8.2 t, each about half compared to a separate solution, as it is known. In addition, such filter containers 21 standardizable in this way. The production can be industrial. The delivery times are shortened. The costs are reduced. The devices 20 always have identical dimensions and a consistent appealing appearance. They can be arranged in different space-saving constellations. If necessary, individual devices 20 can also be exchanged quickly for new, so that no long downtimes arise.

To save space in the vertical during transport of the device 20 can further be advantageously provided that in the ground 24 of the container 21 a gooseneck tunnel (not shown) is arranged. The container 21 lies as a container with the gooseneck tunnel on the truck and is thus deeper. The hybrid heat exchanger 34 then stands in the middle on the gooseneck tunnel, which occupies about 3.15 m of container length and about 1.05 m of width and has a height of, for example, 17 cm. It may also because of the cramped space through the Goosenecktunnel 2 wells (not shown) in front of and behind the hybrid heat exchanger 34 be arranged instead of a tub 36 , The two tubs are embedded in the cross sections in front of and behind the gooseneck tunnel and communicate via cross connections. The sweetener pump 41 sits in one of the tubs or the cross connection between them. Both troughs and the central cooler support form a watertight unit made of folded thin (stainless steel) metal sheet, which is inserted into the container cross members (made of steel), and thus is no longer load-bearing and cheaper.

Based on 5 to 10 Now various aspects with respect to the inventive system of devices according to the invention 20 explained, while showing the 5 to 9 purely schematically arranged in a particular arrangement devices, in a plan view (denoted by "a") and a side view (denoted by "b"). The arrows again illustrate the air flow. In all figures, the same or similar elements are provided with the same or similar reference numerals and their function and their interaction will not be discussed again.

A first preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention 100 is in 5a and 5b purely schematically as an arrangement of three stacks 101 . 102 . 103 shown, with the stacks 101 . 102 . 103 three devices each 20 include. These piles 101 . 102 . 103 are hoof-shaped around a wall 104 arranged, which has a passage opening 105 for the conditioned combustion air to a gas turbine (not shown). Thus, the Anströmstrecke to the passage opening 105 from all devices 20 is essentially the same, is still an intake 106 provided for the combustion air, whose one opening 107 sealed in the passage opening 105 opens and its other opening 108 is located approximately in the middle of the space enclosed by the horseshoe, as the drawn circle indicates. In addition, the intake manifold 106 at the level of the middle level of the devices 20 arranged, as is 5b results. The space between the devices 20 is at the top of a sheet or the like. (Not shown) and down from the ground 109 airtight limited. It can be seen, moreover, that the devices 20 with their anterooms 29 lying one above the other and are arranged in the same direction. With the devices according to the invention 20 assigns this system 100 a footprint of about 250 m ² and a lateral perspective expanse area of about 116 m ² on.

The airtightness of the devices 20 with each other is easy to produce, for example, by the interposition of a sealing strip (not shown) when stacking. Such a sealing strip also ensures airtightness to the ground 109 and the wall 104 towards and to the cover plate. The individual devices 20 can be lashed to each other and to the environment by means of straps. Individually adapting, depending on the installation arrangement, only the air duct at the back of the devices 20 to the intake manifold 106 the gas turbine. The devices 20 are completely pre-assembled and can be put into operation after a few simple steps to connect with each other. Neither ladders nor operating platforms are to be retrofitted on site.
