Definitions

  • the subject of this invention is a stator at heterogeneous structure that could be applied in particular to high pressure compressors of gas turbines.
  • the rotor and stator structure of gas turbines is often cooled or broken down by the air taken from the flow that runs through the machine.
  • the air taken for ventilation in downstream originates from a part of the machine where he has already been compressed, which made it much more heated as the air from the ventilation upstream.
  • the invention consists of a compressor stator provided with a upstream ventilation of cooling air and downstream ventilation of air warmer than at the upstream, upstream and downstream ventilation being defined with respect to the normal direction of circulation of the main air flow and comprising a ferrule delimiting a stream of gas flow, characterized in that it comprises a first portion ferrule, subject to upstream ventilation, continuous annular structure on a circumference and in a first material, and a second portion of ferrule, subject to downstream ventilation, with structure formed of angular sectors juxtaposed and in one second material having a coefficient of expansion larger than the first material.
  • the first and second materials may be chosen respectively from lower coefficient of expansion materials such as TA6V and titanium alloys INC0909, TiAl type intermetallic, having an average coefficient of linear expansion less than 10 ⁇ 10 -6 m per degree; and among materials with a larger coefficient of expansion, such as nickel-based alloys of the INC0718, RENE77 and derivative type, having an average coefficient of linear expansion close to 15 ⁇ 10 -6 m per degree.
  • lower coefficient of expansion materials such as TA6V and titanium alloys INC0909, TiAl type intermetallic, having an average coefficient of linear expansion less than 10 ⁇ 10 -6 m per degree
  • materials with a larger coefficient of expansion such as nickel-based alloys of the INC0718, RENE77 and derivative type, having an average coefficient of linear expansion close to 15 ⁇ 10 -6 m per degree.
  • Figure 1 is an overview of a high-pressure compressor a gas turbine
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged view the downstream portion of the stator of this compressor
  • the FIG. 2A a similar view of another embodiment possible of the invention
  • Figures 3 and 4 are two cuts of the upstream and downstream parts of the compressor
  • Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the upstream part of the compressor.
  • a stator 7 surrounds the rotor 1 and comprises, in internal lining of a carcass 8, a portion 9 to which the invention relates and which consists of a support casing 10 and a ferrule 11 supported by the housing 10, turned towards the rotor 1 and which serves to delimit a ring vein 12 of gas flow in which the moving blade stages 6 and blade stages stationary 13 flow rectification, which are attached to the shell 11 and alternate with the floors previously mentioned.
  • abradable 15 formed of a honeycomb structure or more generally of easy erosion, which is dug by ribs 16 opposite erected on the envelope 3 and which form with it a seal at labyrinth.
  • the tips of the moving blades 6 are free of any equipment and end up close of the ferrule 11.
  • the internal portion 9 of the stator 7 presents discontinuities, which are openings of air sampling from vein 12, noted by references 17, 18 and which give in rooms 19 and 20 established between the portion 9 and the carcass 8 and through which the air taken from the vein 12 to ventilate in particular the housing 10 and subject it to temperature and dilation thermal determined.
  • the inside of the rotor 1 is it also ventilated, firstly through a piercing 21 of the casing 3 located upstream of the rotor 1 and by which fresh air, at approximately the same temperature as the one who enters the room 19, is sucked, then by another bore 22 of the casing 3, substantially to the right of the second opening 18.
  • Sectors 23 and 23 'adjacent are united by flexible tongues 24 sealing, extending into grooves longitudinal edges of the sectors and joining by their ends 25, between circles of sectors 23 and 23 'consecutive; and by other tabs 26 flexible established in grooves purely or obliquely radial edges of sectors 23 and 23 ', and extending from the first tongues 24 to the housing 10.
  • This arrangement effectively prevents the gases, very hot there, from vein 12 to flee between sectors 23 and 23 'to reach the housing 10 and risk of damaging it.
  • the tabs 24 and 26 isolate empty volumes 27 (which can also be filled with insulation at the heat) that appear between each of the circles of sectors 23 and 23 'and associated rings 28 of the housing 10.
  • each of them comprises a rear lip 31 protruding towards inside and back, and that is enclosed between a lip 32 of one of the rings 28, located radially outward, and a lip 33 or 33 ' pointing forward and established either in front of sectors 23, that is to the front of ring 28 located on further downstream; and sectors 23 and 23 'include still an outer lip 34 at the front, which cooperates with lips 33 to enclose lips 31 and 32 directed to the rear.
  • Sectors 23 ' differ in that they only include one lip unique at the front, bearing the reference 35 and oriented towards the rear, and which is housed in a groove 36 of the ring 28 located furthest forward.
  • This mode assembly is simpler than a mode inspired by more traditional ring fastening designs of ferrule, illustrated in Figure 2A, where the lips 31 and 32 are united by separate seals 37 with a cross-section staple and where the ferrule elements comprise a rib 38 relatively high ending in a lip 39 forward facing and housed in a groove of the adjacent ring; however, it is possible to adopt this less favorable design if desired.
  • the 50 tenon nesting systems allow in all cases of linking sectors 23 and 23 'to rings 28 in the angular direction; many achievements are within the reach of the skilled person.
  • the mode of linking sectors 23 and 23 'to Rings 28 is quite flexible and absorbs deformations without receiving strong constraints.
  • the rings 28 are preferably continuous on the circumference for give a simpler structure and a better mechanical resistance.
  • a nickel-based alloy, type INCO718, high coefficient of expansion can be used for this downstream part of the compressor.
  • the housing 10 is at this place composed of rings 40, joined together by bolts 42 enclosing flanges 41 which the end, as well as the carcass 8, in the manner of rings 28; but these rings 40 still include protuberances 43 and 43 'radially on the inside, which open out on the 12th vein of airflow and are therefore exposed to its temperature. Two of these protuberances 43 are wide enough to extend in front of a stage of moving blades 6 respective.
  • the ferrule 11 is here formed at a time by the protuberances 43 and 43 'and by rings 44 support of the stationary vanes 13; the rings 44 finish at the front and back by lips 45 who enter grooves of the growths 43 and 43 '.
  • mechanical systems 46 with interlocking tenon join the rings 40 to the rings 44 concentric against mutual rotations.
  • the major difference with downstream design is that the rings 44 are continuous on a circumference while as the rings 40. It is estimated that, as heating up are less important upstream, and that the temperature differences between the housing 10 and the ferrule 11 are less important also it is more simple and more advantageous to have a structure similar for both, the risks of deformation and excessive stress being reduced.
  • the material used has a coefficient of dilation less than that used for build the downstream of the crankcase, because we observe that Slower dilations than these materials undergo regulate a little the evolution of the dilatation during transient phases and allow finally better control games at the end of the blade blades 6.
  • An alloy of the Inconel 909 type may be recommended or an intermetallic type TiAl.
  • the rotor 1 can be built in a material whose coefficient of expansion is close of that used for the stator rings 40 in look, for example a titanium alloy.
