Definitions
- the invention relates to an automatic control device in operation of the clearance of a labyrinth type turbomachine seal.
- the seals between fixed parts and rotating parts of a turbomachine frequently use labyrinth type seals composed, on the one hand, of wipers-shaped elements, in variable number according to the operating conditions and according to various technological parameters, and, on the other hand, on the fixed part located opposite, of an element constituting a wear and sealing lining, called "abradable", that is to say usable by friction during possible contact with a wiper without causing significant damage thereto, this element being carried by an annular support connected to a fixed structure of the turbomachine.
- Such seals can be arranged for example between different movable stages of compressor or turbine, and fixed parts (or rotating at a different speed) in the vicinity.
- the wipers are in this case carried by spacers or rings and the lining is fixed on the stator (or on the mobile part rotating at the lowest speed preferably).
- these seals are arranged between various turbomachine enclosures and are found in particular at the ends of the external enclosure of the combustion chamber housing, d on the one hand, on the side of the compressor outlet and, on the other hand, on the side of the turbine inlet.
- the proper sealing function of the seal is more complex.
- pressure balancing between various enclosures of the turbomachine is usually sought.
- Controlled air circulation is also sought in the enclosures in order to create certain ventilation air streams which may be used in other areas of the turbomachine and thus it may be desirable to control the air flows with the best precision.
- FR-A-2437544 in the name of the Applicant describes a seal in which the support of the wear lining is surrounded by an annular channel connected, at its downstream end, to an air intake provided in the wall of the combustion chamber casing while its other end opens upstream of the seal into the lower pressure air space surrounding the compressor shaft.
- the adjustment of the circulation flow rate of the cooling air of the seal calls for an adjustable discharge valve controlled by an operating parameter of the turbomachine.
- FR-A-2025869 seeks to minimize the difference in thermal expansion in a labyrinth seal by equalizing the temperatures between a casing carrying the seal and a ring carrying the wipers and connected to the rotor.
- the external surface of the casing is isolated from the stream of hot gases by a screen providing a space in which the cooling air circulates.
- this solution does not provide for any specific adaptation as a function of variations in the operating conditions of the turbomachine, in particular during the transient phases.
- the invention aims to solve these problems by avoiding the drawbacks of known prior solutions.
- a rise to full throttle speed by rapid acceleration ensuring minimum clearance between the top of the wipers and the cooperating surface of the wear lining and sealing of the labyrinth seal and also, in the event of a sudden deceleration, to avoid any penetration of the wipers into the wear layer, which would cause, in addition to various mechanical disadvantages (vibratory phenomena, overheating inducing phenomena with divergent effect), the subsequent appearance excessive play clearly detrimental to returns.
- a minimum of play must even be kept in order to allow that a phase of re-acceleration can follow quickly.
- the device according to the invention of the aforementioned kind is characterized in that the upstream part of the annular support carrying the wear and sealing lining comprises a series of holes peripherally distributed connecting said annular chamber and the upstream part of said cross section of the seal, so as to be supplied by a sample taken in the cooling air which passes through the labyrinth seal.
- cooperating parts of the support carrying the wear and sealing lining and of the rotor part carrying the wipers are shaped so as to create upstream of the zone comprising said wipers and said lining an annular convergent-diverging nozzle forming a primary neck.
- FIG. 1 there is shown schematically, in axial section, under stabilized operating conditions, a part of a turbomachine comprising an embodiment of the invention.
- a labyrinth seal according to the invention is disposed between a fixed part and a rotating part of the turbomachine.
- the rotating part is represented diagrammatically by a rotor part 1.
- the fixed part comprises a stator element 2 connected in a known manner to a part 3 of the fixed structure of the turbomachine.
- this stator element 2 is formed an annular chamber 5 closed on the interior side by an annular support 6 on the internal face of which is fixed in its downstream part a seal 7 for wear and sealing.
- This lining is of any known and commonly used type, but preferably in the device according to the invention, the lining 7 consists of a honeycomb or of a type such that the flow rate passing through the labyrinth is not proportional to the clearance.
- the stator element 2 has on its external diameter one or more air inlet orifices 8 and it also has on its downstream edge one or more air outlet orifices 9. These orifices 9 are placed towards the internal diameter of the element 2 and one or more other air outlet orifices 10 can be placed towards the external diameter of the element 2, always at its downstream edge.
- Inside the annular chamber 5 of the stator element 2 is disposed a thin sheet 11 pierced with series of multi-holes 12.
- This sheet 11 divides the annular chamber 5 into two enclosures, one external 5a comprising the air inlets 8 and the other internal 5b comprising the air outlets 9 and possibly 10.
- the shaft 1 carries wipers 13 (5 wipers in the example shown).
- the upstream part of the annular support 6 carrying the seal and the rotor part 1 upstream of the part carrying the wipers 13 have cooperating parts 14 on the support 6 and 15 on the rotor part 1.
- These parts 14 and 15 are respectively shaped so as to create in the upstream space located between the support 6 and the rotor part 1 a nozzle 16 comprising a converging upstream part 17 and a diverging downstream part 18 connected by a neck 19.
- the upstream part 14 of the support 6 comprises, in line with the neck 19, one or more bores 20 opening out on one side at the neck 19 of the convergent-diverging nozzle 16 and on the other in the external enclosure 5a of the annular chamber 5 of the element of stator 2.
- the device according to the invention which has just been described makes it possible to obtain an improved operation by ensuring in all the operating conditions of the turbomachine both in stabilized and transient conditions a practically constant clearance guaranteeing a controlled value of the air flow rate passing through the labyrinth seal of the turbomachine on which said device is adapted without inadvertent variations being observed, the consequences of which are harmful for the yields or for the life of certain parts in the leakage rates at the level of the labyrinth seal.
- the clearance j1 may have a tendency to decrease, as can the section j2 at the neck 19.
- D1 denotes the air flow at the inlet of the space separating the rotor part 1 and the stator element 2, this air being at a temperature much lower than that of the gases in the vein at the height of the device
- D2 the air flow entering the annular chamber 5 through the orifices 8 of the stator element 2
- the point of sampling of this air in the turbomachine being chosen so that this air is hotter than that D1 supplying the joint
- D3 the air flow taken from D1 at the neck 19 of the nozzle 16 through the orifices 20 of entry into the annular chamber 5
- D4 the flow of cooling air passing through the joint to labyrinth
- the clearance j1 may tend to increase and the same is true for the clearance j2.
- the section at the neck 19 increases and that consequently the local speed decreases and the static pressure increases, this results in an increase in the flow D3 while the flow D2 decreases.
- the air impacting on the support 6 cools and this support 6 carrying the seal 7 contracts almost immediately.
- the effects tending to increase the play j1 are compensated for and canceled and the play j1 is again maintained at its objective value and it will be the same in all the operating conditions of the turbomachine tending to increase the play j1.
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment for an application of the invention to a labyrinth seal placed in line with the outlet of a combustion chamber on the radially internal side.
- a fixing means 25 for example of the bolt-on type, to a radial flange 26 of an internal part of stator vane 27.
- the casing 23 carries a directed radial flange 28 towards the axis of the machine and to which are fixed by fixing means, for example 29, of the bolt type, on the one hand, a radial end flange 30 of an annular support 31 which bears on its face internally a wear and sealing lining 32 and, on the other hand, a radial end flange 33 of an annular thin sheet metal 34 multi-perforated slightly spaced radially outward relative to the support 31 on which it is radial support at 35 at its downstream end.
- the support 31 carries a radial flange 36 directed radially outwards, making the connection with the internal part of the stator blade 27.
- the rotary rotor part comprises a disc 37 carrying in the example shown three wipers 38 cooperating with the wear and sealing lining 32.
- the internal enclosure is separated by the disc 37 into an upstream enclosure 39 where the air is at pressure P1 and a downstream enclosure 40 at a lower pressure P2.
- the space formed between the annular support 31 and the chamber envelope 23 constitutes an annular chamber 41 allowing the ventilation of the support 31 and separated into two enclosures 41a a and 41b by the annular sheet 34.
- a passage of air through an opening 42a made in the envelope 23 is provided between the enclosure 24 and the chamber 41.
- the upstream part of the wear and sealing lining 32, of the support 31 and of the thin sheet 34 have cooperating holes 42, 43 and 44 respectively for the passage of air towards the enclosure 41 a of the chamber 41.
- the thin sheet 34 also comprises multi-perforations 45 for the ventilation by impacts of the support 31.
- Side downstream, the support 31 and the wear and sealing lining 32 also have cooperating holes 46 and 47 respectively for the evacuation of the air from the chamber 41.
- the wiping disc 37 has on its outside diameter upstream side a finger-shaped part 48 whose end 49 as well as the cooperating surface 50 of the upstream part of the wear and sealing lining 32 are respectively shaped so as to create a nozzle of annular convergent-diverging shape by creating a neck 51 at the level of which the catches are open. air towards the chamber 41 through the holes 42.
- the disc 37 also carries a finger 52, the end 53 of which cooperates with the surface facing the downstream part of the wear and sealing lining 32 , through which the drainage holes 47 open.
