Definitions
- the invention relates to a steam turbine with a flow channel for steam which extends along an axis of rotation of an inlet area and an evaporation area for steam, which flow channel widens to the evaporation area hm to an outlet opening with an outlet diameter.
- a steam turbine is usually used in a power plant to drive a generator and to generate superheated steam, or in an industrial plant to drive a machine.
- steam is supplied to the steam turbine as a flow medium, which relaxes while performing a work. After a complete expansion of the steam, it can flow into a downstream condenser via an exhaust steam housing of the steam turbine and condense there.
- a corresponding exhaust housing can be flowed through axially or radially.
- a steam turbine system is usually provided, which has a high-pressure steam turbine, a medium-pressure steam turbine and a low-pressure steam turbine, which are connected in terms of electrical engineering.
- the steam released in the low-pressure steam turbine is fed to a condenser and condensed in the latter.
- the efficiency of such a steam turbine system is determined by a large number of parameters, in particular the efficiency is limited by the flow resistances occurring in the steam turbine system.
- EP 0 345 700 A1 specifies an outlet housing of a turbomachine, in particular a steam turbine, for reducing energy losses due to eddies and detachment of the steam flow.
- the outlet housing has a circular diffuser, at the extended end of which two separate 2 power channels are connected.
- the rear outflow channel delimited by the rear wall of the housing, runs in a straight line and transverse to the longitudinal axis of Maschmen.
- the front outflow channel is guided over an arc section running in the diffuser against the direction of flow and runs downward parallel to the rear outflow channel. Both flow channels are separated from each other by a partition.
- a rear oblique wall which extends over the entire width of the duct, is arranged at the lower edge of the diffuser and extends from the diffuser to the partition.
- the outlet housing of EP 0 345 700 A1 there is a division of the steam emerging from the steam turbine into two partial steam flows which are separated by a partition wall and which are guided independently of one another by a condenser.
- the invention has for its object to provide a steam turbine in which low flow losses occur.
- a steam turbine which has a flow channel which extends along an axis of rotation and extends from an inlet area to an evaporation area for steam to an outlet opening with an outlet diameter to the evaporation area, in that a flow guide element assigned to the outlet opening for out the outflowing steam is provided, which extends on the one hand beyond the outlet diameter and on the other hand extends along an outflow direction m so that steam can be guided on both sides of the flow control element and the steam is mixed downstream of the flow control element.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that there is a flat-averaged static pressure at the outlet opening of the widened flow channel (axial radial diffuser), which is greater than a flat-averaged static pressure
- the flow-guiding element which is flown around on both sides by the outflowing steam, preferably extends only partially in the direction of the outflow direction into the outflow area, so that downstream of the flow-guiding element, a mixing area remains up to hm to the inflow level of the condenser, as a result of which there is sufficient mixing and uniformity of the total steam flow is reached. There is therefore a uniform inflow at the inflow level of the condenser, which ensures a low load on the condenser.
- a flow control element assigned to the outlet opening enables the mass flow density distribution to be equalized and the vortex strength to be reduced, in particular in the area of the mixing of the steam flowing downward and the steam deflected from above. This causes a reduction in the pressure losses when steam flows out of the outlet opening into the exhaust steam area and thus contributes to an increase in the efficiency of the steam turbine.
- the outflow area which is formed, for example, between the outlet opening and the inflow plane of a condenser, mixing of the steam flow is thus achieved only downstream of the flow guiding element. This mixing up to the inflow level of the 4 the condenser also evens out the steam flow, which leads to a uniform inflow and loading of the condenser, in particular condenser sheets.
- the flow guiding element preferably extends along an outflow direction with a constant width or widens along this outflow direction, in particular with an increasing distance from the axis of rotation.
- the flow guide element is preferably arranged geodetically below the axis of rotation, as a result of which an effective guidance of the flow of the steam emerging downwards is achieved.
- the steam tower is preferably divisible in a horizontal plane that includes the axis of rotation and has a parting line on this plane.
- the flow guide element is preferably inclined relative to the axis of rotation about a guide angle in the range between 70 ° and 110 °, in particular between 85 ° and 95 °.
- the flow guide element is preferably at an angle of approximately 90 °. 5 tends, ie it is axis normal to the axis of rotation.
- the flow guiding element preferably borders directly on the outlet opening, as a result of which the steam flowing out of the outlet opening is guided through the flow guiding element after exiting the outlet opening. Mixing and swirling of the steam due to a spacing between the outlet opening and the flow guide element is thereby reliably prevented.
- the flow control element is preferably essentially flat, as a result of which a flow channel with flat walls is formed with the flow control element and, for example, an outer casing of the steam turbine. It is also possible to design the flow control element with a curved surface in accordance with the desired guidance of the steam in order to further reduce flow losses.
- the concrete shape of the flow control element can be determined by experiments and three-dimensional flow calculations.
- the flow control element is preferably produced from a sheet metal. This is a particularly simple structural design of the flow control element which, for example, also allows a steam turbine to be retrofitted with a flow control element as part of maintenance work.
- the flow control element preferably adjoins an outer housing which surrounds an inner housing surrounding the flow channel. It preferably extends fully 6 constantly across the width of the cross section formed by the outer housing. This effectively prevents the steam falling down from being mixed with the steam that flows downward through the cross section present between the outer housing and the inner housing. Mixing of the steam flow down the vortex braid from above with the steam flow emerging immediately downward is thus relocated to a further downstream area, thereby reducing pressure losses.
- the flow control element is preferably attached to the outer housing.
- the outer casing of the steam turbine is stiffened in the exhaust steam area.
- the steam turbine is preferably designed as a low-pressure steam turbine, which is in particular designed as a double flow.
- the flow control element preferably serves to conduct the current to a capacitor hm.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a low-pressure steam turbine with a condenser
- FIG 3 shows a detail through a longitudinal section of an evaporation area of a low-pressure steam turbine.
- a low-pressure steam turbine 1 is shown in a longitudinal section, which is of double-flow design. It has a turbine shaft 7 extending along an axis of rotation 2.
- an inlet region 3 for steam 5 is provided, which steam 5 flows in from a medium-pressure steam turbine, also not shown, in particular via an overflow line, not shown.
- a plurality of guide vanes 16 and rotor blades 15 are arranged alternately one behind the other in each flow channel 6.
- the flow channel 6 widens from the outlet area 3 along the axis of rotation 2 hm to an evaporation area 4. Associated with the evaporation area 4, the flow channel 6 has an outlet opening 8.
- a flow guide element 10 is arranged geodetically below the outlet opening 8 and extends downward along a downstream direction 14 in a plane that is perpendicular or slightly inclined (up to 15 °, preferably up to 5 °) to the axis of rotation 2.
- the inner housing 11 is surrounded by an outer housing 12, which forms a boundary for the evaporation area 4 and serves to redirect the flow and guide the steam 5 emerging from the outlet opening 8. Outside the outer housing 12, the turbine shaft 7 is mounted on corresponding bearings 17, which are not explained in more detail.
- a condenser 13 for condensing the steam 5 is arranged geodetically below the outer housing 12.
- This condenser 13 has a condenser housing 21, in which a large number of cooling tubes 18 are arranged schematically, through which cooling liquid, in particular cooling water, flows when the condenser 13 is in operation.
- a condensate drain 22 is arranged below the cooling tubes 18 and drips off the condensate formed on the outside of the cooling tubes 18 during operation of the condenser.
- the steam 5 flows through the flow channel 6. After exiting the outlet opening 8 into the exhaust steam area 4, a partial flow of the steam 5 is conducted upwards and a further partial flow downwards.
- the upstream partial flow is deflected downward above the outlet opening 8 and flows into the condenser 13 in an outflow region 4A not specified in more detail downstream of the two flow guide elements 10.
- the entire steam flow is evened out and at least partially mixed with the downward flow
- Partial flow instead.
- the partial stream of steam 5 flowing upward is split into two steam streams, in particular at the apex of the inner housing 11.
- This split up ⁇ steam flows swirling and each form a vortex which extends from the apex of the inner housing 11 into the region of the respective flow guiding 10th
- Each flow guide element 10 spatially separates these vortex braids with the steam 5 flowing downwards directly from the outlet opening 8.
- the formation of a shear flow between the vortex braids and the steam 5 flowing directly downward is prevented in the region of the flow guide elements 10, as a result of which a reduction in pressure loss when flowing into the condenser 13 is achieved.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through an exhaust steam area 4 of a steam turbine 1, in particular the low-pressure steam turbine 1 shown in FIG. 1.
- the outlet opening 8 has an annular cross section with an outlet diameter 9.
- the steam turbine 1 is with respect to a horizontal plane
- the flow control element 10 is geodetically below this 9 horizontal plane 23 is arranged and expands m effluent ⁇ direction 14 with increasing distance from the horizontal plane 23. It is also possible that the Stromungsleitelement partially or mainly comprises at least 10 downstream a constant width. Furthermore, it can also connect to the outlet opening 8 at a distance from the horizontal plane 23.
- the flow control element 10 surrounds the outlet opening 8 in a semicircle up to the horizontal plane 23 and widens up to the outer housing 12. It is firmly connected to the outer housing 12, for example screwed or welded. In this way, both a stiffening of the contemplatgehauses 12 10 it extends in the exhaust steam 4 as well as a permanent fixture of the Stromungsleitsegmentes ⁇ .
- FIG. 3 shows a section of the evaporation area 4 in the direction of the condenser 13 geodetically below the axis of rotation 2.
- the flow of steam 5 is represented by arrows, the length of the arrows representing a measure of the flow speed of steam 5. It can be seen that the steam flowing out behind the last moving blade 15 5 m is deflected downward by approximately 90 ° to the evaporation area 4 and is thereby braked at the same time.
- both an extension of the inner housing 11 and a corresponding configuration of the outer housing 12 are provided.
- the flow control element 10 adjoins the extension of the inner housing 11, as a result of which a channel region for the steam 5 deflected in this way is formed between the flow control element 10 and the outer housing 12.
- the flow guide element 10 is inclined relative to the axis of rotation 2 about a guide angle ⁇ , which is preferably in the range between 70 ° and 110 °, in the case shown about 90 °.
- the flow of the steam 5 deflected downward coincides with the flow of the steam 5 deflected upwards and then downwards geodetically below the flow guide element 10.
- the interaction of these two sub-streams with each other will 10 by the arrangement of the guide segment 10 compared to the case in which no flow guide element 10 is provided, significantly reduced.
