Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Die Erfindung betrifft eine innengekühlte Turbomaschinenschaufel, mit einer Wandung (W), welche an ihrer Aussenseite von einem heissen Medium und an ihrer Innenwand von einem Kühlmittel umströmt ist, sowie mit, in der Innenwandung eingebrachten thermischen Brücken in Form von hochschmelzenden Stiften (S) mit hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit, welche in den vom Kühlmittel beaufschlagten Raum (E) hineinragen.The invention relates to an internally cooled turbomachine blade, with a Wall (W), which on the outside of a hot medium and on your A coolant flows around the inner wall, as well as with, in the inner wall introduced thermal bridges in the form of high-melting pins (S) with high thermal conductivity in the space exposed to the coolant (E) protrude.

Derartige innengekühlte Turbomaschinenschaufel sind beispielsweise jene von axialdurchströmten Gasturbinen.Such internally cooled turbomachine blades are for example those of gas turbines with axial flow.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Hohle, innengekühlte Turbinenschaufeln mit Flüssigkeit, Dampf oder Luft als Kühlmittel sind hinlänglich bekannt. Ein Problem stellt insbesondere die Kühlung der Hinterkante von solchen Schaufeln dar, die im gechlossenen Kreis vom Kühlmittel durchströmt sind. Die die Hinterkante bildenden Wandungen umfassen einen Engspalt, aus dem die Wärme abzuführen ist. Hierzu darf der Engspalt in seiner Breite einen minimalen Wert nicht unterschreiten. Um eine Überhitzung der Hinterkante zu vermeiden, darf auch keine grossen Materialansamlungen vorhanden sein. Darüber hinaus darf die Wandstärke aus Festigkeitsgründen ein bestimmtes Mass nicht unterschreiten. Diese Vorgaben führen dazu, dass innengekühlte Schaufeln mit grossen Rundungsradien an der Hinterkante versehen sind, was sich ungünstig auf den Schaufelwirkungsgrad auswirkt.Hollow, internally cooled turbine blades with liquid, steam or air as Coolants are well known. A particular problem is the cooling of the The trailing edge of such blades represents that in a closed circle of the coolant are flowed through. The walls forming the rear edge include one Narrow gap from which the heat is to be removed. For this, the narrow gap in its Width should not be less than a minimum value. To overheat the To avoid trailing edges, there must also be no large accumulations of material his. In addition, the wall thickness may be a certain one for reasons of strength Do not fall short. These requirements result in internally cooled Buckets with large radii of curvature at the rear edge are what is adversely affects the blade efficiency.

In der DE 32 11 139 C1 ist eine Axialturbinenschaufel, insbesondere eine Axialturbinenlaufschaufel für Gasturbinentriebwerke beschrieben, bei der zu Zwecken einer verbesserten Kühlung der Nasenkante der Turbinenschaufel Stifte oder Drähte aus hoch-wärmeleitfähigen Material in die Nasenkantenzone integriert sind und dabei teilweise von der Kühlluft umspült werden. Sie dienen einem verbesserten Wärmeabfluß aus dem Material aus dem Axialturbinenschaufeln gefertigt sind. Zwar helfen diese Maßnahmen grundsätzlich einer verbesserten Kühlung, doch vermag die in der vorbeschriebenen Druckschrift beschriebene Lehre nicht das Problem an der Hinterkante zu lösen. Auch sind der Druckschrift keine Hinweise zu entnehmen derartige Stifte im Bereich der Hinterkante einer Turbinenschaufel einzusetzen.DE 32 11 139 C1 describes an axial turbine blade, in particular one Axial turbine blade for gas turbine engines described in the case of For improved cooling of the nose edge of the turbine blade pins or wires made of highly thermally conductive material integrated into the nose edge zone are and are partially washed around by the cooling air. They serve you improved heat dissipation from the material from the axial turbine blades are made. In principle, these measures help an improved one Cooling, but can do the teaching described in the above publication does not solve the problem at the rear edge. Also the publication is none Instructions for removing such pins in the area of the rear edge of a Use turbine blade.

Aus der US 5,348,446 geht eine Turbinenschaufel aus einem mehrschicht-Metallverbund hervor, um den Wärmeübergang durch die Turbinenschaufelwand zu verbessern. Die mit der Turbinenhinterkante verbundenen Probleme werden in dieser Druckschrift nicht genannt.No. 5,348,446 describes a turbine blade made of a multilayer metal composite to heat transfer through the turbine blade wall improve. The problems associated with the trailing edge of the turbine are in this Documentation not mentioned.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine innengekühlte Turbomaschinenschaufel derart weiterzubilden, dass die bekannten Überhitzungsprobleme an der Hinterkante der Turbinenschaufel reduziert oder ganz vermieden werden sollen, ohne dabei die strömungsmechanischen Eigenschaften der Hinterkante nachhaltig zu beeinflussen. Insbesondere soll die Wärmeableitung aus dem Engspalt, den die Hinterkante einschließt verbessert werden.The invention has for its object an internally cooled Turbomachine blade to develop such that the known Overheating problems on the rear edge of the turbine blade reduced or completely should be avoided without losing the fluid mechanical properties to influence the rear edge sustainably. In particular, should the heat dissipation the narrow gap that the trailing edge encloses can be improved.

Erfindungsgemäss wird eine innengekühlte Turbomaschinenschaufel, mit einer Wandung, welche an ihrer Aussenseite von einem heissen Medium und an ihrer Innenwand von einem Kühlmittel umströmt ist, sowie mit, in der Innenwandung eingebrachten thermischen Brücken in Form von hochschmelzenden Stiften mit hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit, welche in den vom Kühlmittel beaufschlagten Raum hineinragen, derart weitergebildet, dass der vom Kühlmittel beaufschlagte Raum ein geschlossener Engspalt ist, der von der Hinterkante der Turbomaschinenschaufel gebildet ist, von der aus die Stifte in den Engspalt hineinragen, und
dass die Wandung an der Hinterkante mit gleichbleibender Wandstärke die hochschmelzenden Stifte umschließt.
According to the invention, an internally cooled turbomachine blade, with a wall which is surrounded by a hot medium on its outside and a coolant on its inside wall, and with thermal bridges introduced in the inside wall in the form of high-melting pins with high thermal conductivity, which in the from Project coolant-loaded space, developed such that the coolant-charged space is a closed narrow gap, which is formed by the rear edge of the turbomachine blade from which the pins protrude into the narrow gap, and
that the wall at the rear edge encloses the melting pins with a constant wall thickness.

Die Vorteile der Erfindung sind unter anderem in der Einfachheit der Massnahme zu sehen. Handelt es sich bei der zu kühlenden Wand um eine gegossene Turbinenschaufel, so können die Stifte zusammen mit der Schaufel vergossen werden. Die Massnahme erlaubt zudem eine wirkungsgradgünstige Ausbildung der Schaufelhinterkante.The advantages of the invention include the simplicity of the measure see. If the wall to be cooled is a cast one Turbine blade, so the pins can be shed together with the blade become. The measure also allows the efficiency of the training Blade trailing edge.

Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungWay of carrying out the invention

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte, gegossene Schaufel weist drei Innenkammern a, b, und c auf, die von einem Kühlmittel, beispielsweise Dampf, senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene durchströmt sind. Dabei werden die Innenseiten der die Schaufelkontur bildenden Wand W - die aussen beidseitig von heissen Gasen umströmt ist - vom Kühlmittel umströmt und geben ihre Wärme an das Kühlmittel ab. Es versteht sich, dass zumindest in den zwei vorderen Kammern a, b zahlreiche nicht gezeigte Hilfsmittel wie Leitrippen, Strömungskanäle, Einsätze für Prallkühlung und dergleichen zur Verbesserung der Wandkühlung vorgesehen sein können. Im Beispielsfall zirkuliert das Kühlmittel im geschlossenen Kreis, worunter verstanden wird, dass weder an der Vorderkante, der Saugseite, der Druckseite noch im Bereich der Hinterkante ein Ausblasen von Kühlmittel in den Strömungskanal erfolgt.
Hieraus ergibt sich die Problematik mit der Hinterkantengeometrie, welche anhand der Fig. 2 erläutert ist.
The cast blade shown in FIG. 1 has three inner chambers a, b, and c, through which a coolant, for example steam, flows, perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. The inside of the wall W forming the blade contour - which is surrounded by hot gases on the outside on both sides - is surrounded by the coolant and gives off its heat to the coolant. It goes without saying that at least in the two front chambers a, b numerous aids, not shown, such as guide ribs, flow channels, inserts for impingement cooling and the like can be provided to improve the wall cooling. In the example, the coolant circulates in a closed circuit, which means that coolant is not blown out into the flow channel either on the front edge, the suction side, the pressure side or in the region of the rear edge.
This results in the problem with the trailing edge geometry, which is explained with reference to FIG. 2.

Der von den Wänden gebildete Engspalt E muss eine minimale Grösse haben, um genügend Kühlmittel zur Abfuhr der anfallenden Wärme aufnehmen zu können. Die innere Kantenabrundung ist deshalb mit dem Durchmesser d auszubilden. Aus Festigkeitsgründen kann eine minimale Wandstärke T nicht unterschritten werden. Um eine Überhitzung der Hinterkante zu vermeiden, darf es dort zu keiner grossen Materialansammlung kommen. Das Mass La entspricht demnach in der Regel der Wandstärke T. All dies führt dazu, dass die äussere Kantenabrundung mit einem relativ grossen Durchmesser Da auszuführen ist. Soweit sind gekühlte Hinterkanten bekannt.The narrow gap E formed by the walls must have a minimum size in order to be able to absorb enough coolant to dissipate the heat generated. The inner edge rounding must therefore be designed with the diameter d. For reasons of strength, a minimum wall thickness T cannot be undershot. In order to avoid overheating the rear edge, there must be no large accumulation of material there. The dimension L a therefore generally corresponds to the wall thickness T. All this means that the outer edge rounding must be carried out with a relatively large diameter D a . So far, cooled trailing edges are known.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Gemäss Fig. 3 werden zur besseren Wärmeabfuhr in der vom Kühlmittel umströmten Wandung thermische Brücken in Form von Stiften S angeordnet. Diese Stifte sind so angebracht, dass sie in den vom Kühlmittel beaufschlagten Raum, d.h. in den Engspalt E hineinragen.The invention seeks to remedy this. 3 are for better Heat dissipation in the wall around which the coolant flows Form of pins S arranged. These pins are attached so that they are in the from Coolant-loaded space, i.e. protrude into the narrow gap E.

Aus Herstellungsgründen handelt es sich bei den thermischen Brücken um hochschmelzendes Material. Da solche innengekühlten Schaufeln in der Regel gegossen sind, bietet es sich an, die Stifte vorab in den Giesskernen anzuordnen und sie mit der Schaufel integral zu vergiessen. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass in diesem Bereich auf die üblichen Distanzstücke in Form von Quarz oder Aluminidstreben verzichtet werden kann.For manufacturing reasons, the thermal bridges are high-melting material. Because such internally cooled blades usually are cast, it is advisable to arrange the pins in the casting cores beforehand and integrally potting them with the shovel. This has the advantage that in this Area on the usual spacers in the form of quartz or aluminide struts can be dispensed with.

Aus der Fig. 3 ist ersichtlich, dass - bei gleichbleibender Wandstärke T und gleichbleibender innerer Kantenabrundung d - auf diese Weise eine grössere Materialansammlung mit dem Mass Ln, an der Hinterkante ermöglicht wird. Dies erlaubt wiederum die Ausbildung einer wesentlich schärferen Hinterkante, was sich durch den kleineren Durchmesser D, der Kantenabrundung auszeichnet.From Fig. 3 it can be seen that - with constant wall thickness T and constant inner edge rounding d - in this way a larger material accumulation with the dimension L n is made possible at the rear edge. This in turn allows the formation of a much sharper trailing edge, which is characterized by the smaller diameter D, the rounded edges.

Um die gewünschte Wärmeabfuhr zu gewährleisten, sind Stifte mit hoher Wärmeleitfähigkeit zu wählen. Hierzu bietet sich als geeignetes Material synthetischer Diamant an. Als ganz besonders vorteilhaft hinsichtlich Wärmeleitfähigkeit hat sich ein synthetischer Diamant aus C-14 Isotopen gezeigt.To ensure the desired heat dissipation, pins are high Thermal conductivity to choose. This is a suitable material synthetic diamond. As very particularly advantageous in terms of A synthetic diamond made of C-14 isotopes has shown thermal conductivity.

Im Beispielsfall sind die Stifte S zylindrisch ausgeführt. Es versteht sich, dass auch andere Geometrien, die grössere Austauschflächen aufweisen, möglich sind, beispielsweise Stifte, die im Querschnitt eine Vieleckform aufweisen oder gezahnt sind. In the example, the pins S are cylindrical. It goes without saying that too other geometries with larger exchange areas are possible, for example, pins that have a polygonal shape in cross section or are serrated are.

Bei gegebenen Bedingungen, d.h. Geometrie und Wandstärke der Hinterkante; Geometrie des vom Kühlmittel zu durchströmenden Engspaltes E; Wärmebelastung der Schaufelhinterkante; Art, Temperatur und Strömungsgeschwindigkeit des Kühlmittels, sind die Wärmeleitfähigkeit des gewählten Stiftmaterials sowie die in den durchströmten Engspalt hineinragenden Austauschflächen massgebend für die Anzahl der zu verwendenden Stifte über der Schaufelhöhe.Given conditions, i.e. Geometry and wall thickness of the rear edge; Geometry of the narrow gap E to be flowed through by the coolant; heat stress the trailing edge of the blade; Type, temperature and flow rate of the Coolant, are the thermal conductivity of the selected pin material as well as in the through the narrow gap protruding exchange areas decisive for the Number of pens to be used above the bucket height.

Gemäss Fig. 4 ist in einem Längsschnitt durch die hintere Kammer c eine solche gestaffelte regelmässige Anordnung von Stiften in der Radialen über der Schaufelhöhe, d.h. die Länge der Hinterkante der Turbinenschaufel, gezeigt. Je nach Wärmebelastung über der Schaufelhöhe kann selbstverständlich auch eine ungleiche Teilung zur Anwendung gelangen oder bei gleicher Teilung können Stifte mit unterschiedlichen Wärmetauschflächen vorgesehen werden. 4 is a longitudinal section through the rear chamber c staggered regular arrangement of pins in the radial over the Bucket height, i.e. the length of the trailing edge of the turbine blade. Depending on Thermal stress above the bucket height can of course also be an uneven one Pitch can be used or pens with the same pitch different heat exchange surfaces can be provided.
