Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Strömungsmaschine, umfassend ein Gehäuse und eine innerhalb des Gehäuses drehbar gelagerte Welle, weiter umfassend einen Frischdampf-Einströmkanal und zumindest eine mit Sperrdampf beaufschlagbare Dichtung.The invention relates to a turbomachine, comprising a housing and a rotatably mounted within the housing shaft, further comprising a live steam inlet channel and at least one acted upon with sealing steam seal.

Unter der Sammelbezeichnung Strömungsmaschinen werden Wasserturbinen, Dampf- und Gasturbinen, Windräder, Kreiselpumpen und Kreiselverdichter sowie Propeller zusammengefasst. Allen diesen Maschinen ist gemeinsam, dass sie dem Zweck dienen, einem Fluid Energie zu entziehen, um damit eine andere Maschine anzutreiben oder umgekehrt einem Fluid Energie zuzuführen, um dessen Druck zu erhöhen. Unter dem Begriff Fluid sind Flüssigkeiten oder Gase zu verstehen, die strömende Bewegungen ausführen können.Hydraulic turbines, steam and gas turbines, wind turbines, centrifugal pumps and centrifugal compressors as well as propellers are summarized under the collective term turbomachinery. All these machines have in common that they serve the purpose of extracting energy from one fluid in order to drive another machine or, conversely, to supply energy to a fluid in order to increase its pressure. The term fluid means liquids or gases that can perform flowing movements.

Eine Turbine als Ausführungsform einer Strömungsmaschine muss ein gegen die Atmosphäre abgeschlossenes System bilden, um optimal betrieben werden zu können. In der Regel werden zwischen den rotierbaren Bauteilen, wie z. B. einer Welle und den gegenüber den rotierbaren Bauteilen liegenden feststehenden Bauteilen, wie z. B. einem Turbinengehäuse, Wellendichtungen eingesetzt. Diese Wellendichtungen dienen dazu, dass das in der Turbine befindliche Strömungsmedium nicht in die Atmosphäre ausströmt und andererseits dazu, dass die Atmosphärenluft nicht in die Turbine eindringt.A turbine as an embodiment of a turbomachine must form a system sealed off from the atmosphere in order to operate optimally. In general, between the rotatable components, such. B. a shaft and lying opposite the rotatable components fixed components such. As a turbine housing, shaft seals used. These shaft seals serve to ensure that the flow medium in the turbine does not flow out into the atmosphere and, secondly, that the atmospheric air does not penetrate into the turbine.

Die Wellendichtungen werden üblicherweise mit Bedampfungs- und/oder Absaugkammern ausgebildet. Die bisher eingesetzten Wellendichtungen umfassen ein Wellendichtdampfsystem und ein Wrasendampfsystem. Das Wellendichtdampfsystem umfasst ein Sperrdampfsystem, bestehend aus einem Wellendichtdampfsammler, einschließlich einem Wellendichtdampfzu- und Ableitungsventil. Das Wrasendampfsystem beinhaltet üblicherweise einen Wrasendampfsammler, eine Wrasendampfabsaugung und einen Wrasendampfkondensator. Um eine dichtende Wirkung zu erreichen wird sozusagen der Dichtung Sperrdampf aus dem Sperrdampfsystem zugeführt.The shaft seals are usually formed with vapor deposition and / or suction chambers. The previously used shaft seals comprise a shaft vapor vapor system and a steam vapor system. The shaft vapor vapor system includes a barrier vapor system consisting of a shaft vapor vapor collector, including a shaft seal steam supply and discharge valve. The Wrasendampfsystem usually includes a Wrasendampfsammler, Wrasendampfabsaugung and Wrasendampfkondensator. In order to achieve a sealing effect, so-called sealing gas is supplied from the sealing steam system.

Die dafür benötigte Dampfmenge ist vergleichsweise groß und wird üblicherweise von dampfturbinenexternen Sperrdampfquellen zur Verfügung gestellt.The amount of steam required for this purpose is comparatively large and is usually made available by steam turbine external sealing steam sources.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Strömungsmaschine bereitzustellen, die sich durch eine verbesserte Verfügbarkeit auszeichnet.It is an object of the invention to provide a turbomachine, which is characterized by improved availability.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Strömungsmaschine, umfassend ein Gehäuse und eine innerhalb des Gehäuses drehbar gelagerte Welle, weiter umfassend einen Frischdampf-Einströmkanal und zumindest eine mit Sperrdampf beaufschlagbare Dichtung, wobei eine Leitungsvorrichtung zum strömungstechnischen Verbinden des Frischdampf-Einströmkanals und der Dichtung vorhanden ist.This object is achieved by a turbomachine, comprising a housing and a rotatably mounted within the housing shaft, further comprising a live steam inlet channel and at least one acted upon with sealing steam seal, wherein a conduit device for fluidic connection of the live steam inlet channel and the seal is present.

Die Erfindung geht von dem Gedanken aus, dass es nicht nötig erscheint, die benötigte Sperrdampfmenge für die Dichtung von dampfturbinenexternen Quellen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Es wird vielmehr der Weg eingeschlagen, statt dampfturbinenexternen Quellen dampfturbineninterne Quellen zu verwenden. Hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, eine Leitungsvorrichtung zum strömungstechnischen Verbinden auszubilden, die den Frischdampf-Einströmkanal und die Dichtung verbindet. Die Erfindung geht somit von dem Gedanken aus, dass ein Teil des Frischdampfes zur Versorgung der Dichtung mit Sperrdampf verwendet werden kann.The invention is based on the idea that it does not appear necessary to provide the required amount of sealing steam for the sealing of sources external of the steam turbine. It is rather the way set to use instead of external sources of steam turbine internal steam turbine sources. For this purpose, it is proposed to form a line device for fluidic connection, which connects the live steam inlet channel and the seal. The invention is therefore based on the idea that part of the live steam can be used to supply the seal with sealing steam.

Dies ist besonders dann möglich, wenn neuartige Wellendichtungen, wie z. B. Bürstendichtungen an den Wellendurchführungen von Hoch-, Mittel- und Niederdruck-Teilturbinen verwendet werden. Solche Bürstendichtungen weisen mehrere Dichtmittel in Form von Borsten auf, die im Betrieb möglicherweise die drehende Welle berühren. Durch diese neuartigen Wellendichtungen wird eine geringere Menge an Sperrdampf benötigt oder anders ausgedrückt, durch die Dichtung strömt ein geringerer Leckmassenstrom, wodurch eine geringere Menge an Sperrdampf benötigt wird.This is especially possible if novel shaft seals, such. B. brush seals are used on the shaft passages of high, medium and low pressure turbine sections. Such brush seals have multiple sealants in the form of bristles which possibly touch the rotating shaft during operation. By this novel shaft seals a smaller amount of sealing steam is required or in other words, through the seal flows a lower leakage mass flow, whereby a smaller amount of sealing steam is needed.

Dadurch ist die Dichtung bevorzugterweise mit einer mit Sperrdampf beaufschlagbaren Sperrdampfkammer ausgebildet.As a result, the seal is preferably formed with a sealing steam chamber can be acted upon with sealing steam.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterführung ist die Leitungsvorrichtung zum strömungstechnischen Verbinden des Frischdampf-Einströmkanals und der Dichtung derart ausgebildet, dass im Betrieb der Druck des vom Frischdampf abgeleiteten Sperrdampfes konstant ist. Dafür umfasst die Leitungsvorrichtung zumindest eine Leitung mit einer Umleiteinrichtung und Ventilen.In an advantageous continuation, the line device for the fluidic connection of the live steam inlet channel and the seal is designed in such a way that the pressure of the barrier steam derived from the live steam is constant during operation. For this purpose, the line device comprises at least one line with a diverter and valves.

Dadurch wird eine konstante Menge an Sperrdampf der Wellendichtung zugeführt.As a result, a constant amount of sealing steam is supplied to the shaft seal.

Bevorzugterweise ist die Leitungsvorrichtung derart ausgebildet, dass der Sperrdampf in eine Sperrdampfkammer der Dichtung zugeführt wird.Preferably, the conduit device is designed such that the sealing vapor is fed into a sealing vapor chamber of the seal.

Die Erfindung geht außerdem von dem Gedanken aus, dass bisher benötigte externe Dampfversorgungssysteme für die Sperrdampfversorgung nicht benötigt werden. Außerdem wird der Vorteil erzielt, dass externe Hilfsdampfversorgungen eingespart werden und der Hilfsdampf möglicherweise dem Prozess anderweitig zur Verfügung gestellt werden kann.The invention is also based on the idea that previously required external steam supply systems for the sealing steam supply are not needed. In addition, the advantage is achieved that external auxiliary steam supplies are saved and the auxiliary steam may possibly be made available to the process otherwise.
