- the preferred technical field of application of the invention are rotary machines, in particular gas turbines and steam turbines comprising rotating blades mounted to a rotor, which blades do not comprise shrouds. Due to the increasing shortage of fossil energy resources and the growing awareness to emissions, which are affecting the word climate, the efficiency of machines, which are converting the fossil energy resources to mechanical or electrical power, becomes very important. The majority of power plants are still using steam turbines or gas turbines or a combination of these turbines.
- a typical rotary machine according to the invention comprises blades mounted to a rotor and comprises a stationary casing with a surface facing the blade tips.

- the rotating blades do therefore have an optimized angle, which is formed by the rotor axis and the longitudinal extension of the blade profile - also called stagger angle - under which they are mounted to the rotor. This angle optimum depends on the gas, respectively steam conditions, the pressure difference over the entire blading-stage and the orientation of the gas-flow - respectively steam-flow direction before it enters the blading stage.
- a very complex flow distribution is always established at the blade tip, where the flow through the clearance between the blade tip and the opposing surface of the casing can be considered as a pressure-loss and has direct negative consequences for the efficiency.
- a similar problem is encountered in the aviation technology where for example winglets are installed at the end of the wings of an airplane to reduce the loss of the pressure difference between the pressure side and the suction side of the wing.
- shrouds at the tip of the blade which forms together with the other blades of one stage in the assembled condition a closed ring, which itself has a sealing surface, which corresponds to an opposing sealing surface of the casing.
- Shrouds do have the disadvantage that their mass causes additional tensile stress in the blade due to centrifugal forces resulting from the mass of the shroud under a high rotational speed. Therefore, radially long blades mounted on a large diameter of the rotor cannot be equipped with shrouds due to constraints from the material.
- One object of the invention is to overcome the above mentioned problems and disadvantages and to seal the radial clearance between the blade tip and the opposing casing surfaces to obtain a higher efficiency over the total time of operation without decreasing the operational safety.

- the rib on the blade tip is orientated in a direction which crosses the direction of the circumferential protrusions. This arrangement causes an unexpected high pressure drop, which results in an exceptional good sealing of the radial clearance between the blades tip and the corresponding casing surface.
- the pressure drop from the pressure side to the suction side through the radial clearance can be enlarge when the height of the rib is selected in such a way that during operation the rib gets into contact with at least one protrusion at least at the first operations start.
- One big advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is, that the protrusions of the casing get in contact with the rips of the blades only at a certain point, which minimizes the contact surface and therefore the heat and the forces generated by this rubbing contact.
- the rib is designed in such a way, that the heat energy and the forces caused by rubbing do not exceed critical limits and therefore do not damage parts of the turbine.
- the rib is designed strong enough to cope with the pressure difference between suction side and pressure side and that it is not totally destroyed by rubbing.
- the best sealing effect can be obtained when the height of the rib is designed in such a way, that material abrasion occurs on the rib caused by the circumferential protrusion.
- the first radial expansion of the rotor is caused by the blades thermal expansion and the rotors disks' radial elongation due to the centrifugal load.
- the thermal expansion of the shaft is the last step before thermal equilibrium is established due to the shaft's mass.
- each protrusion only contacts a point of each respective rib, the abrasion occurs mainly at this point of the rib and not at the circumferential protrusion of the casing, which leads to a cut or a recess in the rib at a special axial position of the protrusion. Therefore, the local abrasion of the rib at the blade's tip caused by the circumferential protrusion does always occur at the same position. Hence the circumferential protrusions fit almost exactly in the abrasion recesses of the ribs, which results in an ideal sealing of the radial clearance.
- the rib can be an inserted seal strip at the tip of the blade but also can be one piece of material with the blade.
- a characteristic feature of the transition between the blade and the rib is a tapering resulting in a shoulder at least on one side of the rip, respectively the pressure side or the suction side.
- Preferred embodiment of the invention is given by a rip, which extends along the circumference of parallel to the circumference of the profile of the blade.

Description
- This invention relates to a rotary machine comprising at least one rotor and at least one casing, whereby blades are mounted to the rotor and a clearance between the radial outer end of the blades and the radially opposite facing first surface of the casing is provided, whereby the fist surface is provided with at least one radial protrusion, which is extending in circumferential direction of the rotation of the rotor.
- The preferred technical field of application of the invention are rotary machines, in particular gas turbines and steam turbines comprising rotating blades mounted to a rotor, which blades do not comprise shrouds. Due to the increasing shortage of fossil energy resources and the growing awareness to emissions, which are affecting the word climate, the efficiency of machines, which are converting the fossil energy resources to mechanical or electrical power, becomes very important. The majority of power plants are still using steam turbines or gas turbines or a combination of these turbines. A typical rotary machine according to the invention comprises blades mounted to a rotor and comprises a stationary casing with a surface facing the blade tips. The rotating blades in general have a blade profile with a pressure side and a suction side and due to the dynamic pressure difference between pressure side and suction side an impulse drives the rotor. The rotating blades do therefore have an optimized angle, which is formed by the rotor axis and the longitudinal extension of the blade profile - also called stagger angle - under which they are mounted to the rotor. This angle optimum depends on the gas, respectively steam conditions, the pressure difference over the entire blading-stage and the orientation of the gas-flow - respectively steam-flow direction before it enters the blading stage.
- A very complex flow distribution is always established at the blade tip, where the flow through the clearance between the blade tip and the opposing surface of the casing can be considered as a pressure-loss and has direct negative consequences for the efficiency. A similar problem is encountered in the aviation technology where for example winglets are installed at the end of the wings of an airplane to reduce the loss of the pressure difference between the pressure side and the suction side of the wing.
- In the technical field of rotary machines respectively turbines numerous approaches where made to minimize the presser loss through the clearance at the tip of the blade. One example are shrouds at the tip of the blade, which forms together with the other blades of one stage in the assembled condition a closed ring, which itself has a sealing surface, which corresponds to an opposing sealing surface of the casing. Shrouds do have the disadvantage that their mass causes additional tensile stress in the blade due to centrifugal forces resulting from the mass of the shroud under a high rotational speed. Therefore, radially long blades mounted on a large diameter of the rotor cannot be equipped with shrouds due to constraints from the material.
- One solution to minimize the bypass flows through the clearance at the tip of the blades is known from the patent
US 4,239,452 which proposes to equip the surface of the casing, which is facing the blade tips, with seal strips or radial protrusions, which protrusions are extending in a circumferential direction with respect to the rotation of the turbine rotor. While these seal strips respectively protrusions avoid a flow in the axial direction of the turbine a flow in the circumferential direction is not affected. - Another solution for sealing of free standing blade tips to the casing is the minimization of the radial clearance between the tip and the corresponding casing surface. Due to thermal radial expansion under the heat of the gas respectively the steam is especially during transient thermal conditions the clearance can be reduced and rubbing between the blades' tips and the corresponding casing surface might damage the turbine due to vibration excitation or excessive heat generation. To avoid this, it was suggested to apply an abradable coating, which means a coating that is capable of being rubbed off, to the blades' tips or to the whole blade, which on the one hand minimizes the radial clearance and on the other hand is worn away when contacting the casing surface without causing any serious damage to other turbine components. The disadvantage of this solution is that the abradable coating is also worn away without any contact to the opposing surface after a longer period of operation by the gas flow so that the efficiency advantage is lost with time.
- One object of the invention is to overcome the above mentioned problems and disadvantages and to seal the radial clearance between the blade tip and the opposing casing surfaces to obtain a higher efficiency over the total time of operation without decreasing the operational safety.
- According to the present invention the blades of a rotary machine of the initial mentioned type are provided at the respective first ends with at least one rib respectively fin, which rib extends in the height radially outwards and has a longitudinal extending, which forms an angle α bigger than (0 with the circumferential direction of the rotation.
- The rib on the blade tip is orientated in a direction which crosses the direction of the circumferential protrusions. This arrangement causes an unexpected high pressure drop, which results in an exceptional good sealing of the radial clearance between the blades tip and the corresponding casing surface.
- The pressure drop from the pressure side to the suction side through the radial clearance can be enlarge when the height of the rib is selected in such a way that during operation the rib gets into contact with at least one protrusion at least at the first operations start. One big advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is, that the protrusions of the casing get in contact with the rips of the blades only at a certain point, which minimizes the contact surface and therefore the heat and the forces generated by this rubbing contact. According to the invention the rib is designed in such a way, that the heat energy and the forces caused by rubbing do not exceed critical limits and therefore do not damage parts of the turbine. On the other hand the rib is designed strong enough to cope with the pressure difference between suction side and pressure side and that it is not totally destroyed by rubbing.
- The best sealing effect can be obtained when the height of the rib is designed in such a way, that material abrasion occurs on the rib caused by the circumferential protrusion.
- The typical expansion behavior of a turbine synergistically increases the advantages of the solution according to the invention. At the beginning of the expansion process during the first (10 minutes of operation intensive radial expansion of the blade air foil can be observed and the blade tip gets into contact with the opposing surface of the stator. In a second stage between (30 minutes and one hour from a turbine start radial and axial displacement of the stator follows during which the blade tip looses the contact to the corresponding surface of the stators casing, which results in an opening of the radial clearance. In a third stage after approximately three hours from the start of the turbine radial and axial displacement of the rotor, in particular of the shaft, follows, which closes the radial clearance again. The first radial expansion of the rotor is caused by the blades thermal expansion and the rotors disks' radial elongation due to the centrifugal load. The thermal expansion of the shaft is the last step before thermal equilibrium is established due to the shaft's mass. The unexpected big advantage of the invention with respect to the expansion process is, that the relative axial position of the blades tips to the opposing surface of the casing respectively to the circumferential protrusions are the same in the first stage and the last respectively the third stage, when the radial clearance is closed due to centrifugal elongation respectively thermal expansion. Due to the fact, that each protrusion only contacts a point of each respective rib, the abrasion occurs mainly at this point of the rib and not at the circumferential protrusion of the casing, which leads to a cut or a recess in the rib at a special axial position of the protrusion. Therefore, the local abrasion of the rib at the blade's tip caused by the circumferential protrusion does always occur at the same position. Hence the circumferential protrusions fit almost exactly in the abrasion recesses of the ribs, which results in an ideal sealing of the radial clearance.
- The rib can be an inserted seal strip at the tip of the blade but also can be one piece of material with the blade. A characteristic feature of the transition between the blade and the rib is a tapering resulting in a shoulder at least on one side of the rip, respectively the pressure side or the suction side.
- Preferred embodiment of the invention is given by a rip, which extends along the circumference of parallel to the circumference of the profile of the blade. The form of the rib on the blades tip can be compared to a crown on the blades tip. This comparison especially becomes valid, where the protrusions caused recesses in the rib due to material abrasion resulting from radial contact.
- To further increase the tightness of the sealing of the radial clearance more than one rip, preferably several rips can be provided on the blades tip.
- The above mentioned attributes and other features and advantages of this invention and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention itself will be better understood by reference to the following description of an embodiment of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 shows a three-dimensional schematic drawing of an arrangement comprising aturbine blade 2 and asurface 1 of aturbine casing 8, which is extending in acircumferential direction 3 indicated by an arrow and which is facing theblade 2tips 6. This arrangement belongs to a turbine, wherein theblade 2 is mounted to arotor 7, which is not shown and which rotates around a longitudinal not showncentral axis 11 of the rotor. Theblades 2 belong to a group ofblades 2 which group is not shown in the drawings, and eachblade 2 is mounted in a not shown manner to therotor 7, so that a ring ofblades 2 in a circumferential direction of therotor 7 is arranged around the rotor. - The blade has a
pressure side 4 and asuction side 5, so that a pressure difference establishes from thepressure side 4 to thesuction side 5. At thetip 6 of theblade 2 theblade 2 faces thesurface 1 of thecasing 8. The pressure difference betweenpressure side 4 andsuction side 5 leads to a tendency of a fluid or a gas to flow through aclearance 9 between eachblade 2tip 6 and thesurface 1 of thecasing 8. This flow results in a partial loss of the pressure difference, which drives therotor 7 in the turbine and therefore this loss results in a loss of turbine efficiency. In order to minimize this flow, theradial clearance 9 is designed in a way, which increases the pressure drop from thepressure side 4 to thesuction side 5 of theblade 2. According to the invention thetip 6 of theblade 2 is equipped with arib 10, which extends in the height radially outwards and has a longitudinal extending, which forms an angle α with thecircumferential direction 11 of the rotation, which angle α is bigger than 0. -
Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment, wherein therib 10 extends along the circumference 12 of a blade profile 13 at thetip 6 of theblade 2. The form of therib 10 can be compared to a crown on the top of thetip 6 of theblade 2. - The
surface 1 is provided withradial protrusions 20, which are extending incircumferential direction 3 of the rotation of the rotor. -
Figure 2 shows theblades tip 6 as a cross section and as indicated by position B infigure 1 .Figure 2 shows ahollow blade 2 being closed at theblade tip 14 and having trapezium formedribs 10, which form a crown on the top of theblade 2tip 6. -
Figure 3 and 4 show the arrangement offigure 1 during operation.Figure 3 shows an example of an embodiment according to the state of the art, where an abradable coating was applied to theblade 2 and which is wasted away during operation to a certain degree after turbine start, so that theradial clearance 9 is minimized. This coating is worn away during operation totally. -
Figure 5 shows the design of theblade 2tip 14 and thesurface 1 of theturbine casing 8 according to the invention and during operation. The pressure drop over theclearance 9 is increased due to therib 10 at thetip 14 of theblade 2, which got into contact with the protrusions of thesurface 1 and became abraded at the locations of the protrusions, so that the form of therib 10 became a negative image of the form of thesurface 1 with the protrusions. Since the protrusions have only a point contact to therib 10 the heat energy generated during the rubbing is low and so are the forces during the rubbing within the first start up of the turbine. -
Figure 5 and 6 show the arrangement according to the invention before operation and after operation. Before operation therib 10 did not have contact to the protrusions of thesurface 1 and after operation the protrusion ofsurface 1 abraded locally therib 10 so that recesses 16 were machined into therib 10. - A closer look at the arrangement according to the invention in
figure 7 and 8 shows a preferred embodiment of the protrusions, which are of a trapezium form (view I).
