Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for cooling the flow in radial gaps formed between rotors and stators of turbomachinery, according to the preamble of claim 1 and the preamble of Claim 7, but especially for cooling the flow in the radial gap between the compressor wheel and the housing of a radial compressor.
- turbomachinery Seals especially labyrinth seals, are widely used.
- fluid flow Separation gap between rotating and standing parts occurs as a result of forming flow boundary layers on a high friction. This leads to heating of the fluid in the separation gap and thus also to heating the components surrounding the separation gap.
- the high material temperatures result in a reduction in the lifespan of the corresponding components.
- a simple radial compressor without one in the separating gap Sealing geometry is known from DE 195 48 852 A1. This also ensures that of flow shear layers on the rear wall of the compressor wheel Frictional heat for heating the compressor wheel and thus for a reduction in its lifespan.
- Air cooling for radial compressors with a sealing geometry is known from EP 0 518 027 B1 known on the back of the compressor wheel. This is between the individual sealing elements an additional annulus on the housing wall side of the radial compressor. A cold gas is introduced into this annulus which is higher than that prevailing at the outlet of the compressor wheel Has pressure. The air supplied acts as impingement cooling. In doing so, she shares in the sealing area and flows mainly radially inwards and outwards. This should also have a blocking effect against the flow of Separation gap achieved with hot compressor air from the outlet of the compressor wheel become.
- the cooling effect that can be achieved in this way is due to several factors limited.
- the air injection leads to an increase in pressure and thrust, which increases the bearing load. It also sets the temperature the available air is a limiting element.
- this type of cooling is not sufficient.
- DE 196 52 754 A1 also includes indirect cooling Cooling the rear wall of the compressor wheel or the one flowing through the separation gap Known medium. For this is on or in the back wall and with this housing part forming the separation gap, one with the lubricating oil system of the turbocharger connected supply and distribution device.
- the oil used for bearing lubrication, including the lubricating oil circuit of the turbocharger is tapped.
- a disadvantage of this cooling is the relatively high level Oil requirement and the additional amount of heat to be dissipated by the oil cooler. This leads to an increased volume of the cooler. There is also one Accident with damage to the corresponding components increases the risk of deflagration.
- direct cooling is the same with indirect cooling Cooling achievable cooling effect is limited, for which in addition to the temperature of the in cooling fluids that can be used in practice, in particular the small amount available Construction volume can be identified as the cause.
- the invention tries to avoid all these disadvantages. You have the task is based on a method for cooling that is improved with regard to its cooling effect the flow in between rotors and stators of turbomachinery Creating radial gaps. In addition, a simple, inexpensive and robust device for implementing the method can be specified.
- Partial flow of the working fluid of the turbomachine can be clearly improved cooling effect and also a better cooling effectiveness can be achieved. It is only this double cooling of the radial gap that enables another Lowering the temperature of the thermally heavily loaded rotor down to temperature ranges, which cannot be achieved with conventional cooling configurations were.
- stator part adjacent to the radial gap Recess formed or arranged at least one cavity on the stator.
- the recess or cavity is both with a feed line as well connected to a discharge line for the first cooling fluid.
- Water is particularly advantageous as the first cooling fluid and water as the second cooling fluid Air used.
- Cooling fluid has a slightly higher density than the known lubricating oils as well a specific heat capacity that is about twice as large. Because of a cooling medium dissipated heat flow proportional to the product of density and specific heat capacity is the first thing to appear when using water Cooling fluid is a clear advantage over oil cooling. With the same mass flow and the same temperature of the water can thus be obtained from the Radial gap flowing medium over the stator to be cooled larger Amount of heat is withdrawn. The cooling effect on those adjacent to the radial gap Areas of the rotor are therefore also larger. Conversely becomes a smaller one for dissipating the same amount of heat compared to lubricating oil Mass flow of cooling water needed, which means the supply and discharge for the cooling fluid can be dimensioned correspondingly smaller.
- air as the second cooling fluid proves to be particularly so as beneficial because it is both in the environment and in the turbomachine even in sufficient quantity, with sufficient pressure and with suitably lower Temperature is available.
- a charge air cooler and an exhaust gas turbocharger existing system is either fresh water from outside the System or advantageously water present in the system is used as the first cooling fluid. In the latter case, this takes place in a cooling water circuit of the charge air cooler located cooling water use, which is upstream of the charge air cooler is branched off.
- the fixed stator part is a housing part of a Radial compressor, which the radial gap to the rotor, i.e. for rotating Compressor wheel of an exhaust gas turbocharger limited.
- oil is used as the first cooling fluid
- this can be advantageous the lubricating oil system that is already present in the bearing housing of the turbomachine be branched off. In this way it can be a relatively simple and therefore inexpensive device can be created. Is it the first cooling fluid a gaseous medium, this can be used for both direct and can be used for indirect cooling.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of one with a diesel engine trained internal combustion engine 1 interacting exhaust gas turbocharger 2.
- the latter consists of a radial compressor 3 and an exhaust gas turbine 4, which have a common shaft 5.
- the radial compressor 3 is via a charge air line 6 and the exhaust gas turbine 4 via an exhaust gas line 7 with the internal combustion engine 1 connected.
- a charge air cooler 8 is arranged in the charge air line 6, i.e. between the radial compressor 3 and the internal combustion engine 1.
- the charge air cooler 8 has a cooling water circuit 9 with one, not shown Supply or discharge.
- the radial compressor 3 is equipped with a compressor housing 10 in which a rotor 11 designed as a compressor wheel and connected to the shaft 5 is arranged is.
- the compressor wheel 11 has one with a large number of moving blades 12 occupied hub 13.
- a flow channel 14 is formed between the hub 13 and the compressor housing 10 .
- bladed diffuser 15 on the flow channel 14 which in turn opens into a spiral 16 of the radial compressor 3.
- the compressor housing 10 mainly consists of an air inlet housing 17, a Air outlet housing 18, a diffuser plate 19 and one as a partition to one Bearing housing 21 of the exhaust gas turbocharger 2 designed stator part 20 (Fig. 2).
- the hub 13 has a rear wall 22 and a fastening sleeve on the turbine side 23 for shaft 5.
- the fastening sleeve 23 is from the intermediate wall 20th of the compressor housing 10 added.
- another suitable one Compressor wheel-shaft connection can be selected. The same is true Use of a non-bladed diffuser possible.
- a separation gap which is formed as a radial gap 24 in a radial compressor 3 is.
- the radial gap 24 is with a between the fastening sleeve 23 and the intermediate wall 20 arranged sealing ring 34 opposite the bearing housing 21 sealed.
- this seal can also be made in a Radial gap 24 arranged labyrinth seal can be realized (not shown).
- a circumferential recess 26 designed and with both a supply and a discharge line 27, 28 connected for a first cooling fluid 29.
- the partition 20 on the compressor wheel side of the recess 26 is made as thin as possible. This is done at the manufacture of the intermediate wall 20 is cast in a corresponding core, which must then be removed again. Of course, can be in the partition 20 also cast a thin-walled tube sealed at both ends be, the interior of which then forms the recess 26 (not shown).
- the compressor wheel 11 When the exhaust gas turbocharger 2 is operating, the compressor wheel 11 sucks as the working medium 31 ambient air acting as a main flow 32 through the flow channel 14 and the diffuser 15 elongated in the spiral 16, further compressed there and finally via the charge air line 6 for charging the turbocharger 2 connected internal combustion engine 1 is used. Before that, however, takes place in the charge air cooler 8 a corresponding cooling of the heated during the compression process Working medium 31.
- cooling fluid 29 is downstream via the discharge line 28 of the charge air cooler 8 fed back into the cooling water circuit 9 (Fig. 1).
- intercooler 8 and Exhaust gas turbocharger 2 existing cooling water and fresh water from outside of the system are supplied as cooling fluid 29 (not shown).
- the leakage flow 33 is provided.
- feed channels 40 for a second cooling fluid 41 both the bearing housing 21 and the diffuser plate 19 arranged penetrating (Fig. 2).
- the feed channels 40 are downstream of the charge air cooler 8 connected to the charge air line 6, so that second Cooling fluid 41 cooled charge air is used (Fig. 1).
- the second cooling fluid 41 is also introduced into the radial gap at another point (not shown).
- the tangential introduction of the second cooling fluid 41 results in pure film cooling the entire rear wall 22 of the compressor wheel 11 realized.
- the second Cooling fluid 41 replaces the hot leakage flow 33, so that the Back wall 22 of the boundary layer forming the compressor wheel 11 from the very beginning is mainly formed by the cooled charge air.
- the subsequent one The second cooling fluid 41 is discharged via a in the intermediate wall 20 of the Compressor housing 10 attacking discharge device, not shown 42.
- This combination of indirect and direct cooling has a special one Cooling effect because the two cooling options complement each other in their effect and thus for a very high temperature reduction in the compressor wheel 11 to care.
- cooling media such as helium or gases from cryogenic fluids (e.g. liquid nitrogen, carbon tetrachloride, benzene nitride, etc.) can be used.
- cryogenic fluids e.g. liquid nitrogen, carbon tetrachloride, benzene nitride, etc.
- oil is used as the first cooling fluid 29, this can be supplied externally or advantageously from the in the bearing housing 21 of the exhaust gas turbocharger 2 anyway existing lubricating oil system can be branched off (not shown). To this A relatively simple and therefore inexpensive supply is also possible suitable cooling fluids possible.
