Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les turbines à vapeur et plus particulièrement les turbines comprenant un corps ou module haute pression et un corps ou module basse pression.The present invention relates to steam turbines and more particularly turbines comprising a high body or module pressure and a low pressure body or module.
Le module haute pression comporte un rotor de cinq à dix étages environ avec autant de rangées d'ailettes fixes et d'ailettes mobiles.The high pressure module has a rotor of five to ten stages approximately with as many rows of fixed fins and movable fins.
Ce type de module haute pression est complexe à réaliser et à monter, donc son prix est important.This type of high pressure module is complex to produce and go up, so its price is important.
L'objet de l'invention est de proposer un module haute pression à la fois simple à réaliser et à monter tout en ayant un coût faible.The object of the invention is to provide a high pressure module with both simple to make and to assemble while having a low cost.
La turbine à vapeur selon l'invention, comporte un module haute pression comportant un seul étage d'ailettes, un module basse pression, un réducteur de vitesses et un alternateur, elle est caractérisée en ce que le module haute pression comporte une tuyère monobloc. Ce module haute pression à un seul étage assure la même fonction que le module haute pression multi étages avec une conception d'ailettes différente de celle des turbines multi étagées et sa réalisation est plus aisée et moins coûteuse. Le rapport de pression entre l'entrée et la sortie peut être par exemple de 3 à 20.The steam turbine according to the invention comprises a high module pressure with a single stage of fins, a low module pressure, a speed reducer and an alternator, it is characterized in that the high pressure module has a nozzle piece. This single-stage high pressure module provides the same function as the multi-stage high pressure module with a fin design different from that of multi-stage turbines and its realization is easier and less expensive. The pressure ratio between the input and the output can be for example from 3 to 20.
Selon une autre caractéristique, chaque module comprend un rotor et que le rotor du module haute pression et celui du module basse pression sont entraínés par le réducteur de vitesses.According to another characteristic, each module includes a rotor and that the rotor of the high pressure module and that of the low module pressure are driven by the speed reducer.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, les ailettes fixes ou les tuyères du module haute pression ont un profil comportant des canaux à forme convergente puis divergente de l'entrée vers la sortie. Ce profil des ailettes fixes, aussi appelées distributeurs, est calculé de façon connue à partir de la théorie sur les écoulements supersoniques. Les ailettes mobiles ont un profil tel qu'il limite les décollements et les pertes le long des canaux, ce profil est déterminé par des calculs complexes en trois dimensions et utilisant les équations de l'aérodynamique. According to a particular characteristic, the fixed fins or the nozzles of the high pressure module have a profile with channels convergent then divergent form from the inlet to the outlet. This profile fixed fins, also called distributors, is calculated so known from the theory of supersonic flows. The movable fins have a profile such that it limits the detachments and the losses along the canals, this profile is determined by calculations complex in three dimensions and using the equations of aerodynamics.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, le module haute pression comporte une tuyère de forme convergent divergent. Cette forme est caractéristique des écoulements super soniques puisque les équations de l'aérodynamique appliquées aux écoulements supersoniques montrent la nécessité d'avoir des canaux dont la section évolue en convergeant puis en divergeant.According to a particular characteristic, the high pressure module has a nozzle of divergent convergent shape. This form is characteristic of super sonic flows since the equations of aerodynamics applied to supersonic flows show the need to have channels whose section evolves in converging then diverging.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le module haute pression comporte une roue mobile solidaire d'un arbre et supportant les aubes, l'ensemble étant monobloc. C'est à dire que les ailettes sont usinées dans la même pièce que l'arbre. La réalisation d'une seule pièce de cet ensemble simplifie à la fois sa réalisation et son montage.According to another characteristic, the high pressure module comprises a movable wheel secured to a shaft and supporting the blades, the whole being in one piece. That is to say that the fins are machined in the same room as the tree. The realization of a single piece of this together simplifies both its realization and its assembly.
Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, l'arbre est couplé avec un réducteur de vitesse. Le réducteur de vitesse a trois axes, deux axes grande vitesse pour chacun des module haute et basse pression et un axe basse vitesse pour l'alternateur. L'arbre du module haute pression est relié à un des axes du réducteur.According to an additional characteristic, the tree is coupled with a speed reducer. The speed reducer has three axes, two high speed axes for each of the high and low pressure modules and a low speed axis for the alternator. The upper module tree pressure is connected to one of the axes of the reducer.
Selon une caractéristique particulière, l'arbre est directement relié au réducteur. Habituellement l'accouplement entre l'arbre et le réducteur est assuré par un composant intermédiaire, ici l'arbre est directement couplé au réducteur. On gagne ainsi une pièce, ce qui permet une simplification et une diminution du coût de l'ensemble.According to a particular characteristic, the tree is directly connected to the reducer. Usually the coupling between the shaft and the reduction gear is ensured by an intermediate component, here the shaft is directly coupled to the reducer. We thus win a coin, which allows a simplification and a reduction in the cost of the assembly.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le module haute pression comporte une seule soupape de réglage de vapeur, d'où une simplification du dispositif.According to another characteristic, the high pressure module has a single steam control valve, resulting in simplification of the device.
Selon une autre caractéristique, le module haute pression comporte un palier indépendant. Ce palier indépendant placé dans le module de la turbine à proximité du réducteur.According to another characteristic, the high pressure module has an independent landing. This independent bearing placed in the turbine module near the gearbox.
