Definitions
- the invention relates to a steam turbine with a steam inlet area, an exhaust steam area and an axially interposed blading area surrounded by a turbine housing.
- the invention further relates to a method for cooling a steam turbine with a turbine housing.
- DE-PS 324 204 describes a method and a device for cooling an idling steam or gas turbine.
- An ejector connected to the steam flow line via a valve is specified for this cooling. This ejector draws steam through the inflow line in the opposite direction to the normal flow.
- the extracted steam can be tapped or exhaust steam from a further turbine as well as wet or saturated fresh steam.
- the US-PS 3,173,654 relates to a steam turbine with a high-pressure turbine and a double-flow low-pressure turbine, which is operated in stand-by mode.
- a cooling system is provided, through which water is injected from the condenser into the partial turbine under high pressure through a large number of lines both in the low-pressure partial turbine and in the high-pressure partial turbine. This water evaporates completely and, since the vacuum pumps are in operation, is returned to the condenser.
- the amount of water injected is regulated separately for each injection line as a function of the temperature in the partial turbines, using a corresponding valve.
- the two above-mentioned documents therefore relate in each case to the cooling of idling or running in standby mode Steam turbines.
- the cooling takes place exclusively via steam, which is either supplied directly or is created by evaporating water.
- the two above documents therefore relate to a steam turbine in such a state in which externally generated heat is dissipated, this heat being generated by friction in a turbine running at an operating speed of, for example, 3000 rpm. If the heat were not removed, the temperature in the steam turbine would be far above the operating temperature.
- a steam turbine in particular a high-pressure turbine or a medium-pressure turbine with upstream intermediate superheating, temperatures up to above 500 ° C. occur during a power operation.
- the turbine housing and the turbine rotor and other turbine components such as live steam valve, quick-closing valve, turbine blade, etc., are heated to a high temperature.
- the turbine rotor of each turbine can be rotated at a reduced speed for a predetermined period of time by means of a rotating device and the steam atmosphere can be evacuated via an evacuation device.
- the object of the invention is to provide a steam turbine and a steam turbine system which can be rapidly cooled by means of forced cooling.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method for cooling a steam turbine.
- the object directed to a steam turbine is achieved in that the turbine housing can be connected to a cooling fluid inlet for the inflow of cooling fluid, the cooling fluid inlet being closable and releasable by a sealing member, and a suction device for extracting cooling fluid from the turbine housing.
- the cooling fluid inlet is preferably closed during normal power operation of the steam turbine, in which action steam enters the turbine into a steam inlet area, through which a blading area drives the turbine shaft and flows out of an exhaust area from the steam turbine.
- cooling fluid inlet is released through the closure element, so that cooling fluid, in particular air, from the air atmosphere surrounding the steam turbine flows into the steam turbine.
- the inflowing cooling fluid is sucked out of the turbine housing via a suction device, for example an evacuation device, which generates a vacuum.
- the cooling fluid inlet is preferably a separate opening, for example an air inlet connector on the turbine, with a flow cross section which is dimensioned such that sufficient cooling fluid reaches the turbine for rapid cooling.
- Several cooling fluid inlets can also be provided.
- the closure member can be an opening blind flange, a valve or the like.
- the closure member can be opened automatically, for example by a motor, via a first control unit, for example.
- a manually opening closure member could also be used.
- the suction device for example an evacuation unit, which serves to generate negative pressure in a condenser, is preferably connected to a control unit for controlling its suction power.
- the control unit can also be used to automatically open a fluidic connection between the suction device and the turbine housing. In the case of a high-pressure steam turbine, a fluidic connection between the turbine housing and the suction device is preferably prevented during normal power operation.
- the cooling fluid inlet is preferably connected to a steam feed opening into the steam inlet area.
- the cooling fluid inlet is preferably connected to a control valve for regulating the amount of live steam, which also enables this control valve to cool after the steam turbine has finished operating.
- the suction device is preferably connected to an outflow line opening into the evaporation area.
- the outflow line can be shut off during the cooling process by a non-return valve, so that the entire amount of cooling fluid flowing through the steam turbine is passed through the suction device.
- the suction device is preferably connected to a condenser, in particular the steam area of a condensate container. It is thus possible to use an evacuation device already used during power operation for cooling the steam turbine and other steam turbine components after shutdown, such as control valve, quick-closing valve etc., as the suction device. Such an evacuation device could be used, for example, to evacuate the steam space in the condensate container or to evacuate the steam atmosphere in the steam turbine after the power operation has ended.
- each sub-turbine is cooled by the fact that cooling fluid, in particular air, flows into the housing of the respective sub-turbine via the respective cooling fluid inlet and is sucked out of the sub-turbine by the suction device, which is connected to both the sub-turbine and a condenser .
- the suction device preferably generates a negative pressure which causes the cooling fluid, the air, to flow through the partial turbines and corresponding components, such as control valves and quick-closing valves.
- the air absorbs heat in each turbine, which cools the turbine.
- the suction device can be an evacuation unit which is used to evacuate the steam atmosphere in each turbine section immediately after the steam turbine system has been switched off.
- the cooling of the partial turbines of the steam turbine system is thus possible without additional units, for example compressed air storage or a compressed air pump, cooling fluid inlets with a respective shut-off device and a limited number of lines for guiding the cooling fluid only being provided at desired locations.
- the object directed to a method for cooling a steam turbine with a turbine housing is achieved in that, after the load has been switched off, a cooling fluid inlet is connected in terms of flow technology to the turbine housing and cooling fluid flowing in through the cooling fluid inlet, in particular air, is guided by means of a suction device with heat absorption through the turbine housing becomes.
- a cooling fluid inlet is connected in terms of flow technology to the turbine housing and cooling fluid flowing in through the cooling fluid inlet, in particular air, is guided by means of a suction device with heat absorption through the turbine housing becomes.
- Air inlets are opened on the high-pressure turbine and a medium-pressure turbine.
- On the high-pressure turbine connecting pieces on the fresh steam side and a connecting line between the exhaust pipe of the high-pressure turbine and a condenser can be opened.
- the condenser is connected to the evacuation units, so that air sucked in through the air inlet nozzle is sucked through the turbine blades and over the connecting line into the condenser. This causes the high pressure turbine to cool down.
- nozzles can also be opened in the area of the steam inlet.
- the air flowing in through the connecting pieces can be sucked into the condenser by the evacuation units via the medium-pressure blading and optionally a low-pressure turbine connected downstream.
- the medium pressure wave and the medium internal and / or medium external pressure housing, the medium pressure blading, the control valve and the quick-closing valve of the medium pressure turbine are cooled. It is also possible to conduct the air via a corresponding connecting line from the exhaust steam area of the medium-pressure turbine, bypassing a downstream low-pressure turbine, to the condenser.
- the high-pressure turbine and the medium-pressure turbine are preferably cooled to a temperature lower than 150 ° C.
- the cooling process can be carried out on the basis of temperature measurement values which are determined within the steam turbine, for example by means of temperatures provided for the power operation. peraturmeß ⁇ tellen be checked. Depending on the progress of the cooling, the cooling process can be accelerated or slowed down by the suction power of the suction device.
- the cooling process is carried out in such a way that predetermined maximum expansion differences, in particular between the turbine rotor and the inner and / or outer casing of the steam turbine, are not exceeded.
- the figure shows, in a partially schematic and not to scale illustration, a steam turbine system 20 with a high-pressure sub-turbine 1 a and a medium-pressure sub-turbine 1 b in a longitudinal section. Further components of the steam turbine plant 20 are shown schematically for the sake of clarity.
- the high-pressure sub-turbine 1 a has a steam inlet area 2, an exhaust steam area 3 and an axially intermediate blading area 4.
- the control valve 17 has a cooling fluid inlet 7, into which an air line 18 opens.
- the air line 18 there is a closure element 8, in particular a valve, which is connected to a first control unit 9.
- the first control unit 9 enables the closure member 8 to be opened or closed, so that the cooling fluid inlet 7 can be released or closed for the inflow of cooling fluid 6, in particular air.
- the closure member 8 is closed and during a tendon 11 Process opened so that cooling fluid 6 can flow into the control valve 17 during the latter.
- the turbine rotor 26a is arranged inside the high-pressure housing 5a, which comprises an inner and outer housing which is not specified in any more detail.
- An exhaust line 13 is connected to the exhaust steam area 3 and leads through an intermediate superheater 21 to the steam inlet area 2 of the medium-pressure sub-turbine 1b.
- a non-return valve 22 is arranged downstream of the evaporation region 3 in the outflow line 13.
- a connecting line 16a which leads to a condenser 14, opens into the outflow lines 13 between the evaporation area 3 and the backflow flap 22.
- the connecting line 16a is closed by a closure element 8a during normal power operation of the high-pressure turbine section 16.
- a combination of control valve 17 and quick-flow valve 24 is also arranged in a medium-pressure feed line 23 between steam inlet area 2 of medium-pressure sub-turbine 1b and intermediate-superheater 21. As already described above, an air line 18 leads into this combination into a cooling fluid inlet 7.
- the medium-pressure turbine part 1b is designed with two passages and has a medium-pressure housing 5b comprising an unspecified inner and outer housing, in which the turbine runner 26b and a blading area 4 are arranged.
- action steam (not shown) flows from the reheater 21 into a steam inlet area 2, divides into two areas in the blading area 4, comes from a respective exhaust steam area 3 into one or more discharge lines 13 which lead to one or more leads or lead low-pressure partial turbines not shown.
- a connecting line 16b leads from the outflow lines 13 into the condenser 14.
- a further line, not specified in more detail, also leads from a low-pressure partial turbine, not shown, into the condenser 14.
- the connecting line 16b can be omitted, so that during a Cooling operation through the control valve 7 Cooling fluid 6 flowing into the medium-pressure sub-turbine reaches the condenser 14 via the low-pressure sub-turbine, not shown.

- a connecting line 16a, 16b without the cooling fluid 6 having to be passed through the condenser 14.
- the invention is characterized by a forced cooling of a steam turbine after the end of the power operation, in which a cooling fluid inlet and a suction line are opened after the load has been switched off. Via a suction device connected to the suction line, air which flows into the steam turbine via the cooling fluid inlet is led out again with the absorption of heat.
- existing components of the steam turbine such as, for example, evacuation units and steam lines, can be used. If necessary, only corresponding cooling fluid inlets (e.g. air inlet ports) and branches from existing steam discharge lines are to be provided in order to ensure forced air flow through the steam turbine.
