Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Übergangselement zwischen Komponenten eines Rauchgaskanals, der einer Gasturbine einer Kraftwerksanlage nachgeschaltet ist.The invention relates to a transition element between Components of a flue gas duct, that of a gas turbine Power plant is downstream.

Gasturbinen werden in vielen Bereichen, insbesondere in Kraftwerksanlagen, zum Antrieb von Generatoren oder von Arbeitsmaschinen eingesetzt. Dabei wird der Energieinhalt eines Brennstoffs zur Erzeugung der Rotationsbewegung der Turbinenwelle benutzt. Das bei der Verbrennung des Brennstoffs entstehende Arbeitsmittel oder heiße Gas wird dazu in der Gasturbine entspannt und sodann als Abgas oder Rauchgas einem an die Gasturbine angeschlossenen Rauchgaskanal zugeführt.Gas turbines are used in many areas, particularly in Power plants, for driving generators or working machines used. The energy content becomes one Fuel for generating the rotational movement of the turbine shaft used. The result of burning the fuel Work equipment or hot gas is used in the Gas turbine relaxes and then one as exhaust gas or flue gas fed to the gas turbine connected flue gas duct.

Der Rauchgaskanal der Gasturbine umfaßt üblicherweise mehrere miteinander verbundene Komponenten oder Kanalstücke. Je nach Auslegung und Einsatzart der Gasturbine sind als Komponenten ein Diffusor, ein Kompensator und/oder weitere Elemente, wie z.B. ein Hauptkamin, ein Bypasskamin, vorgesehen.The flue gas duct of the gas turbine usually comprises several interconnected components or duct sections. Depending on The design and type of use of the gas turbine are as components a diffuser, a compensator and / or other elements, such as e.g. a main chimney, a bypass chimney.

Jede Komponente wird beim Betrieb der Gasturbine üblicherweise durch das sie durchströmende Abgas oder Rauchgas aufgeheizt. Dabei kühlt sich das Rauchgas entlang der Rauchgasrichtung durch Wärmeaustausch mit den jeweiligen Komponenten ab. Je nach ihrer Position im Rauchgaskanal wird somit jede Komponente auf eine unterschiedliche Temperatur aufgeheizt. Im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen zwei Komponenten liegen somit auf unterschiedliche Temperaturniveaus aufgeheizte Strukturteile aneinander, was zu mechanischen Spannungen zwischen den Komponenten führt. Insbesondere bei Lastwechseln der Gasturbine, wie beispielsweise bei Anfahrvorgängen, kann eine transiente Temperaturbelastung in einer erheblichen Beanspruchung der Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals resultieren. Dadurch verursachte Schäden an den Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals haben eine Verringerung der Lebensdauer der gesamten Gasturbinenanlage zur Folge, was zu einer äußerst unerwünschten Reduzierung der Verfügbarkeit der Gasturbinenanlage führt. Aus der FR-A-2 469 563 ist ein einer Gasturbine nachgeschalteter Abgassammler bekannt, der ein Wärmeisolationselement zur Isolation von Einbauten gegen die Rauchgaswärme aufweist.Each component is common in the operation of the gas turbine heated by the exhaust gas or flue gas flowing through them. The flue gas cools down along the flue gas direction through heat exchange with the respective components from. Depending on their position in the flue gas duct, each becomes Component heated to a different temperature. Thus lie in the area of the transition between two components Structural parts heated to different temperature levels to each other, leading to mechanical stresses between leads the components. Especially when the load changes Gas turbine, such as during start-up operations, can transient temperature load in a considerable load of the components of the flue gas duct result. Thereby have caused damage to the components of the flue gas duct a reduction in the life of the entire gas turbine plant result in an extremely undesirable reduction the availability of the gas turbine plant. Out FR-A-2 469 563 is a downstream of a gas turbine Exhaust gas collector known, which is a thermal insulation element for insulation of internals against the flue gas heat.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Übergangselement zwischen den Komponenten eines Rauchgaskanals der obengenannten Art anzugeben, das eine besonders lange Lebensdauer der Komponenten und somit der gesamten Gasturbinenanlage ermöglicht.The invention has for its object a transition element between the components of a flue gas duct of the above Specify the type that has a particularly long lifespan the components and thus the entire gas turbine system.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst, indem das Übergangselement ein erstes Wärmeisolationselement aufweist, dessen Dicke zur Einstellung eines stetigen Temperaturprofils in einem Übergangsbereich linear von der Ortsvariablen entlang des Rauchgaskanals abhängt.This object is achieved by the transition element has a first heat insulation element, the Thickness for setting a constant temperature profile in along a transition area linearly from the location variable depends on the flue gas duct.

Die Erfindung geht dabei von der Überlegung aus, daß für eine lange Lebensdauer der Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals der Gasturbine abrupte Temperatursprünge zwischen benachbarten Komponenten vermieden sein sollten. Dies ist durch ein sich im Bereich des Übergangs zwischen jeweils zwei Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals langsam veränderndes Temperaturprofil erreichbar. Die Einstellung eines geeigneten Temperaturprofils kann demnach durch ein entsprechend modifiziertes Wärmeisolationselement bewirkt werden, indem dessen Dicke als Funktion der Ortsvariablen entlang des Rauchgaskanals variiert.The invention is based on the consideration that for a long life of the components of the flue gas duct of the gas turbine abrupt jumps in temperature between neighboring components should be avoided. This is due to an im Area of transition between two components of the Flue gas channel slowly changing temperature profile achievable. Setting a suitable temperature profile can accordingly by a correspondingly modified heat insulation element be effected by its thickness as a function of Location variables along the flue gas duct varied.

Für eine besonders effektive Reduzierung transienter Temperaturbelastungen der Komponenten ist das ein gestellte Temperaturprofil stetig. Dazu könnte die Wärmeisolierung stufenförmig ausgebildet sein. Zur Einstellung eines für die Vermeidung von Materialspannungen besonders geeigneten Temperaturprofils sollte jedoch eine nicht-stufenförmige Wärmeisolation eingesetzt werden. Dabei sollte die Dicke des Wärmeisolationselementes linear von der Ortskoordinaten abhängen. Ein derartiges Übergangselement ist zudem auf besonders einfache Weise herstellbar.For a particularly effective reduction of transient temperature loads of the components is one set temperature profile steadily. This could be the heat insulation be stepped. To set one particularly suitable for avoiding material tension However, the temperature profile should be a non-stepped Thermal insulation can be used. The thickness of the The thermal insulation element depends linearly on the location coordinates. Such a transition element is also special easy to manufacture.

Um lokale Temperaturschwankungen in den Komponenten besonders effektiv zu unterbinden und somit die Lebensdauer der Komponenten besonders wirkungsvoll zu steigern, ist die Länge des Übergangsbereichs vorzugsweise größer als die Temperatur-Abklinglänge des Wandmaterials der Komponenten. Die Temperatur-Abklinglänge ist dabei die physikalische Kenngröße zur Beschreibung einer lokalen Temperaturveränderung innerhalb eines Materials.To local temperature fluctuations in the components in particular effectively prevent and thus the life of the components The length of the Transition range preferably greater than the temperature decay length of the wall material of the components. The temperature decay length is the physical parameter for description a local temperature change within a Materials.

Eine transiente Temperaturbelastung des Wandmaterials der Komponenten wird zudem verringert, indem zweckmäßigerweise der Umfang mindestens einer der Komponenten in mindestens einem Teilbereich des Rauchgaskanals linear mit der Ortsvariablen variiert. Bei einem runden Querschnitt des Rauchgaskanals ist dieser Teilbereich somit konisch ausgebildet. Bei einem viereckigen Querschnitt des Rauchgaskanals entspricht der Teilbereich hingegen der Mantelfläche eines Pyramidenstumpfs.A transient temperature load on the wall material Components is also reduced by expediently the scope of at least one of the components in at least one Part of the flue gas duct linear with the location variable varies. With a round cross section of the flue gas duct this section is thus conical. At a square cross section of the flue gas duct corresponds to the In contrast, part of the lateral surface of a truncated pyramid.

Um eine Verbindung einer innen isolierten Komponente des Rauchgaskanals mit einer außen isolierten Komponente des Rauchgaskanals zu ermöglichen, weist das Übergangselement im Übergangsbereich zweckmäßigerweise ein erstes Wärmeisolationselement als Innenisolierung und ein zweites Wärmeisolationselement als Außenisolierung auf, deren Dicken als Funktion der Ortsvariablen gegenläufig variieren.To connect an internally isolated component of the Flue gas duct with an externally insulated component of the The transition element in the Transition area expediently a first heat insulation element as internal insulation and a second thermal insulation element as external insulation, whose thicknesses as a function of the location variables vary in opposite directions.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß sich durch die variierende Dicke des Wärmeisolationselementes beim Betrieb der Gasturbine ein Temperaturprofil derart einstellt, daß überhöhte Materialbelastungen der Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals vermieden sind. Insbesondere auch durch den Teilbereich, in dem der Umfang mindestens einer der Komponenten linear mit der Ortsvariablen variiert, sind aus unterschiedlichen thermischen Dehnungen verschiedener Komponenten resultierende radiale Zwängungen kompensierbar.The advantages achieved with the invention are in particular in that by the varying thickness of the heat insulation element a temperature profile during operation of the gas turbine sets such that excessive material loads the components of the flue gas duct are avoided. In particular also by the sub-area in which the scope at least one of the components varies linearly with the location variable, are different from different thermal expansions Component resulting radial constraints can be compensated.

Insbesondere auch bei Lastwechsel der Gasturbine ist somit eine zusätzliche Beanspruchung der Komponenten des Rauchgaskanals aufgrund der als Folge einer transienten Temperaturbelastung auftretenden Spannungen vermindert. Die zulässige Zyklenzahl der Gasturbine ist damit erhöht, was eine längere Lebensdauer bedingt.In particular, even when there is a load change in the gas turbine additional stress on the components of the flue gas duct due to the result of a transient temperature load occurring voltages are reduced. The allowable The number of cycles of the gas turbine is increased, which is a longer one Lifetime conditional.

Figur 1 zeigt - als Teil einer Kraftwerksanlage - eine Gasturbinenanlage 1 mit einem der Gasturbine 2 über einen Rauchgaskanal 4 nachgeschalteten Abhitzekessel 6 zur Dampferzeugung, z.B. für eine (nicht dargestellte) Dampfturbine. Der Rauchgaskanal 4 umfaßt als Komponenten oder Kanalstücke einen Metallkompensator 8, einen Diffusor 10, einen Bypasskamin 12 und ein in den Abhitzekessel 6 mündendes Kanalstück 14.Figure 1 shows - as part of a power plant - one Gas turbine system 1 with one of the gas turbine 2 via one Flue gas duct 4 downstream waste heat boiler 6 for steam generation, e.g. for a steam turbine (not shown). The Flue gas duct 4 comprises one as components or duct pieces Metal compensator 8, a diffuser 10, a bypass chimney 12 and a duct piece 14 opening into the waste heat boiler 6.

Beim Betrieb der Gasturbinenanlage 1 strömt aus der Gasturbine 2 austretendes heißes Rauchgas RG durch den Rauchgaskanal 4 in Richtung des Pfeils 20 in den Abhitzekessel 6. Das im Abhitzekessel 6 bei der Dampferzeugung abgekühlte Rauchgas RG verläßt den Abhitzekessel 6 über dessen Kamin 22.When the gas turbine system 1 is operating, it flows out of the gas turbine 2 escaping hot flue gas RG through the flue gas duct 4 in the direction of arrow 20 in the waste heat boiler 6. Das Cooled flue gas in the waste heat boiler 6 during steam generation RG leaves the waste heat boiler 6 via its chimney 22.

Die Geschwindigkeit des axial aus der Gasturbine 2 austretenden heißen Rauchgases RG wird in dem mit dem Metallkompensator 8 verbundenen Diffusor 10 verringert, so daß der statische Rauchgasdruck ansteigt. Aufgrund der hohen Austrittstemperatur des heißen Rauchgases RG von etwa 500 bis 600° C entstehen Wärmedehnungen, die von dem Metallkompensator 8 kompensiert werden sollen. An Verbindungsstellen zwischen jeweils zwei Komponenten 8 und 10, sowie 12 und 14 des Rauchgaskanals 4 treten darüber hinaus lokale und/oder transiente Temperaturbelastungen aufgrund einer kontinuierlichen Abkühlung des Rauchgases RG entlang einer durch den Pfeil 24 angedeuteten Ortskoordinate x in Richtung des Rauchgaskanals 4 auf.The speed of the axially emerging from the gas turbine 2 hot smoke gas RG is in the with the metal compensator 8 connected diffuser 10 reduced, so that the static Flue gas pressure rises. Because of the high outlet temperature of the hot smoke gas RG of about 500 to 600 ° C arise Thermal expansion compensated by the metal compensator 8 should be. At junctions between each two components 8 and 10, and 12 and 14 of the flue gas duct 4 also occur local and / or transient Temperature loads due to continuous cooling of the flue gas RG along one indicated by the arrow 24 Location coordinate x in the direction of the flue gas duct 4 on.

Um derartige Wärmespannungen durch Temperaturbelastungen zu kompensieren und daraus resultierende Beschädigungen der Komponenten 8 und 10, sowie 12 und 14 des Rauchgaskanals 4 zu vermeiden, weist der Rauchgaskanal 4 an den Verbindungsstellen zwischen jeweils zwei der Komponenten 8, 10, 12, 14 jeweils ein Übergangselement 30 und 30' auf, wie diese in den Figuren 2 bzw. 3 im Ausschnitt dargestellt sind. Die Übergangselemente 30, 30' dienen zur Verbindung zweier Komponenten 8 und 10 bzw. 12 und 14 des Rauchgaskanals 4. Das Übergangselement 30, 30' kann dabei auch Teil einer der Komponenten 8, 10 bzw. 12, 14 sein. Entsprechende (nicht gezeigte) Übergangselemente 30, 30' sind auch an anderen Verbindungsstellen zu jeweils zwei Kanalstücken des Rauchkanals 4 vorgesehen.To such thermal stresses due to temperature loads compensate and resultant damage to the components 8 and 10, and 12 and 14 of the flue gas duct 4 too avoid, the flue gas duct 4 points at the connection points between two of the components 8, 10, 12, 14 each a transition element 30 and 30 'on, as in the Figures 2 and 3 are shown in detail. The transition elements 30, 30 'serve to connect two components 8 and 10 or 12 and 14 of the flue gas duct 4. The transition element 30, 30 'can also be part of one of the components 8, 10 and 12, 14, respectively. Corresponding (not shown) Transition elements 30, 30 'are also at other connection points provided for two channel pieces of the smoke channel 4.

Das in Figur 2 dargestellte Übergangselement 30 umfaßt zur Einstellung eines Temperaturprofils entlang der Ortskoordinaten x beim Betrieb der Gasturbine 2 ein erstes Wärmeisolationselement 34, dessen Dicke d als Funktion der Ortsvariablen x in einem Übergangsbereich 36 linear abnimmt. Durch das sich somit einstellende stetige Temperaturprofil ist ein "weicher" Temperaturübergang zwischen den Komponenten 8 und 10, und dadurch ist eine verminderte Spannungsbelastung der Komponenten 8 und 10 gewährleistet.The transition element 30 shown in Figure 2 comprises Setting a temperature profile along the location coordinates x a first heat insulation element during operation of the gas turbine 2 34, whose thickness d as a function of the location variable x decreases linearly in a transition region 36. By the thus a steady temperature profile is a "Soft" temperature transition between components 8 and 10, and thereby a reduced voltage load of the Components 8 and 10 guaranteed.

In einem Teilbereich 37 der Außenwand 38 nimmt der an der Außenwand 38 des Rauchgaskanals 4 gemessene Umfang des Übergangselements 30 linear ab. Somit ergibt sich bei einem runden Querschnitt des Rauchgaskanals 4 eine konische Ausbildung der Außenwand 38 im Teilbereich 37. Alternativ kann aber auch der entsprechende Umfang der Komponente 8 und 10 linear variieren.In a partial area 37 of the outer wall 38, it takes on the outer wall 38 of the flue gas duct 4 measured extent of the transition element 30 linearly. This results in a round Cross section of the flue gas duct 4 a conical design the outer wall 38 in the partial area 37. Alternatively, however, can also the corresponding scope of components 8 and 10 vary linearly.

Um den Übergang von einer innen isolierten Komponente 8 auf eine außen isolierte Komponente 10 zu ermöglichen, weist das Übergangselement 30 ein zweites Wärmeisolationselement 40 auf, dessen Dicke d' als Funktion der Ortsvariablen x gegenläufig zur Dicke d des ersten Wärmeisolationselements 34 variiert.To the transition from an internally insulated component 8 to To enable an externally insulated component 10, the Transition element 30 a second heat insulation element 40 on, whose thickness d 'runs counter to the position variable x to the thickness d of the first heat insulation element 34 varies.

Auch das Wärmeisolationselement 34' des Übergangselements 30' gemäß Figur 3 weist zur Einstellung eines vorgesehenen Temperaturprofils eine als Funktion der Ortskoordinaten x variierende Dicke d auf. Zusätzlich variiert die Dicke d des Wärmeisolationselementes 34' als Funktion der Ortskoordinaten x auch in einem zweiten Bereich 42 linear. Verwirbelungen des den Rauchgaskanal 4 durchströmenden Rauchgases RG und daraus resultierende Strömungsverluste sind somit gering gehalten. Der im Teilbereich 37' linear mit der Ortsvariablen x variierende Umfang der Außenwand 38' des Übergangselements 30' mündet in einen Flansch 44 mit einer besonders geringen Flanschhöhe h. Durch eine derart geringe Flanschhöhe h ist der Flansch 44 unempfindlicher gegenüber Wärmedehnungen und weist somit eine besonders lange Lebensdauer auf.The heat insulation element 34 'of the transition element 30' according to FIG. 3 indicates the setting of an intended temperature profile one that varies as a function of the location coordinates x Thickness d. In addition, the thickness d of the heat insulation element varies 34 'as a function of the location coordinates x also linear in a second region 42. Eddies of the the flue gas channel 4 flowing through flue gas duct RG and therefrom resulting flow losses are thus kept low. The one which varies linearly with the location variable x in the partial region 37 ' The circumference of the outer wall 38 'of the transition element 30' opens in a flange 44 with a particularly small Flange height h. Such a low flange height h the flange 44 less sensitive to thermal expansion and thus has a particularly long lifespan.

Das Übergangselement 30' weist zudem einen an den Flansch 44 angeschlossenen Gewebekompensator 46 auf, der im Hinblick auf temperatur-induzierte Verspannungen besonders flexibel ist.The transition element 30 ′ also has one on the flange 44 connected tissue compensator 46, which with regard to temperature-induced tension is particularly flexible.
