Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a gas turbine with axial thrust compensation and a gas turbine with apparatus for carrying out the method.
  • the axial thrust of a gas turbine is the resulting force of aerodynamic forces and compressive forces, which exert an axial force on the rotor in the compressor and turbine, as well as all acting in the axial direction of the rotor pressure forces.
  • the resulting thrust is absorbed by a thrust bearing.
  • gas turbines are designed to have a minimum thrust at idle.
  • the axial thrust increases proportionally to the load.
  • a counterforce to the thrust balance can be applied against the increasing axial load with the load.
  • the maximum thrust to be absorbed by the thrust bearing can be reduced. Accordingly, the size and the power loss of the thrust bearing can be reduced.
  • the thrust of turbines and compressors as well as the compressive forces acting on the rotor in the axial direction are determined by operating parameters, in particular the position of compressor guide vanes and compressor discharge pressure as well as the design. He is determined by the selected geometries, in particular by the geometries of the blade channels and the degrees of reaction of the turbine stages.
  • the operating parameters are of the desired Process and operating concept of the gas turbine dependent. The load-dependency of the thrust can not be changed once the design has been selected.
  • the thrust load compensation device In the US5735666 a method is described in which, via a magnetically operated thrust load compensation device, the thrust loads, which load on a thrust bearing regulated.
  • the thrust load compensation device generates a compensation thrust as soon as a sensor detects a rotational speed of the thrust bearing which is below a threshold value.
  • a pressure compensating piston is in the US4653267 shown.
  • the pressure balance piston in the middle part, that is the between compressor and turbine geiegenen part, running a two-shaft system.
  • the axial force of the piston is reduced in normal operation by a second chamber pressurized with leakage air. Air can be discharged from this second chamber via a valve and thus the pressure level in this chamber can be reduced. By changing the pressure level in the second chamber, the resulting axial force of the pressure compensating piston is regulated.
  • the advantage of this arrangement is that the air discharged from the second chamber for control can continue to be used for turbine cooling.
  • Additional structural parts are needed to generate the pressure compensation piston.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a controllable thrust balance in gas turbines without the use of additional structural components, which at high load and in particular at the design point has no additional cooling air consumption for acting on pressure equalizing piston or the like result.
  • the controllable thrust balance in gas turbines to be retrofitted, the one accordingly EP0447886 have executed middle part.
  • the invention relates to a method according to claim 1.
  • a gas turbine is designed with respect to aerodynamic forces and compressive forces exerting an axial force on the rotor so that it has a negative thrust at idle and deep part load.
  • a negative thrust is a thrust that points from the turbine towards the compressor. Further, it is designed so that it has a positive thrust at high gas turbine load and especially at full load.
  • an additional thrust in the main thrust direction that is to say a positive thrust in the direction of the compressor to the turbine, is applied at idle and part load.
  • the resulting maximum thrust force to be absorbed by the at least one thrust bearing is consequently smaller than in a conventionally designed gas turbine without thrust balance.
  • a thrust reversal in loading or unloading of the gas turbine is prevented by the additional thrust.
  • the load range in which an additional thrust is applied is, for example, in the range from idle to about 60% full load.
  • the part load range in which an additional boost is applied for example, to about 90% full load range.
  • the partial load range in which additional thrust is applied for example, only up to about 10% full load range.
  • the additional thrust is generated by a method for regulating the pressure on the end face or on a partial surface of the end face of the turbine rotor.
  • a substantially annular space between the drum cover and the first turbine disk which is closed by a rotor seal a turbine blade root seal, divided by a seal in an outer and an inner annulus.
  • the turbine rotor is supplied with high-pressure cooling air from the outer annular space, which is fed into this annular space with the highest possible tangential velocity.
  • the static pressure in the outer annulus is due to the strong acceleration to the highest possible tangential velocity significantly below the compressor end pressure.
  • a swirl nozzle is used, for example.
  • the ratio of the pressure drop across the rotor seal and turbine disk seal is inversely proportional to the ratio of the equivalent areas of both seals.
  • the rotor seal has a significantly smaller equivalent area than the turbine disk seal.
  • the pressure drop across the rotor seal is correspondingly much larger than that over the turbine disk seal. The pressure in the inner annular space is therefore determined when the control valve is closed essentially by the pressure in the outer annular space.
  • the inner annular space is acted upon by at least one line from Kompressorplenum or other suitable extraction point with compressed air.
  • at least one control valve is provided to control the pressurization.
  • pressurize for example, externally supplied compressed air or steam can be used or an externally supplied medium can be used in combination with compressor air.
  • the advantage of this method is that in the high load range no additional pressurization is required and thus no compressed air is consumed under performance andumblesgradeinbusse. Even if the pressurization is active at partial load, the air escaping via the seal between the inner and outer annular space is usefully added to the rotor cooling air.
  • the at least one control valve may be open at low load and closed when a discrete limit is exceeded. Conversely, the at least one control valve is opened again when it falls below the discrete limit value.
  • a hysteresis can be provided.
  • Another control option is, for example, a closure of the control valve proportional to the load.
  • the position of the control valve is not specified as a function of the load, but the pressure ratio between the inner annular space and compressor discharge pressure is predetermined and this ratio is regulated via the control valve.
  • the target value is not necessarily constant, but is, for example, a function of the load.
  • the function can, for example, be determined in such a way that a constant axial thrust is achieved over the widest possible operating range.
  • the position of the control valve or the target value of the pressure conditions in the inner annular space can for example also be provided as a function of the Ver Whyreintrittsleitschaufelwinkel or the relative load. Regulations depending on combinations of parameters or other relevant parameters are also possible.
  • a special case is the application in connection with the upgrade of a gas turbine.
  • a change in one of the main components turbine or compressor can lead to a reduction of the axial thrust. This will be the case, for example, when the compressor thrust increases due to an upgrade compressor with virtually unchanged intake mass flow and thus virtually unchanged compressor discharge pressure and turbine thrust.
  • the increase in compressor thrust can cause a thrust reverser after the upgrade.
  • the method according to the invention can be used and a controlled additional thrust can be applied.
  • One embodiment is a gas turbine with a seal that divides the substantially annular space between the drum cover and the first turbine disk into an outer and an inner annular space. It has at least one line from the compressor plenum to the drum cover, at least one control valve in this line and at least one inlet into the inner annulus.
  • a labyrinth seal is an example of a suitable seal.
  • the introduction into the inner annulus of the drum cover is a generally annular plenum connected to the inner annulus through a plurality of orifices.
  • At least one pressure gauge is also provided in the inner annulus and in the compressor plenum.
  • the at least one supply line for pressurizing the inner plenum is not connected to the Kompressplplenum, but another suitable extraction point for compressor air via at least one control valve.
  • the invention is based on embodiments in the Fig. 1 to 4 shown schematically.
  • a gas turbine with a device for carrying out the method according to the invention essentially has at least one compressor, at least one combustion chamber and at least one turbine, which drives the compressor and a generator via at least one shaft.
  • Fig. 1 shows a section through the middle part of a gas turbine, that is, the area between the compressor and turbine and the final stage of the compressor and the first stage of the turbine.
  • the compressor 1 compresses the air. Most of the air is introduced via the Kompressplplenum 2 in a combustion chamber 3 and mixed with fuel, which burns there. From there, the hot fuel gases flow under labor output through a turbine 4. Turbine 4 and compressor 1 are arranged on a common shaft 18, wherein the part of the shaft located between compressor 1 and turbine 4 is designed as a drum 6.
  • the high-pressure part of the rotor cooling air is swirled after the last compressor blade discharged through an annular channel 7 between the rotor drum 6 and drum cover 5 and introduced via the rotor cooling air supply 12 and a swirl grille 13 in an annular space between the drum cover and a first turbine disk.
  • This annulus is divided by a seal 9 in an inner annulus 10 and an outer annulus 11.
  • the outer annular space is bounded, for example, by the rear side of a drum cover 5, an inner platform of a first turbine guide vane facing the rotor 18, a first turbine disk and the seal 9.
  • the inner annular space is bounded, for example, by the rear side of a drum cover 5, a seal 9, a first turbine disk of a rotor seal 8 and the walls of a part of an annular channel 7 lying downstream of a rotor seal 8.
  • the seal 9 can be performed, for example, as a labyrinth seal 21.
  • a labyrinth seal 21 For receiving the labyrinth seal 21, for example, as in Fig. 2 shown, offset from each other, referred to as balconies projections on a drum cover 19 and a first turbine disk 20 are provided.
  • the rotor cooling air supply 12 may be connected, for example via a swirl grille 13 with an outer annular space 11 that accelerates the rotor cooling air tangentially and thus lowers the static pressure in an outer annular space 11. From the one outer annular space 11, the rotor cooling air enters a first turbine disk.
  • An annular space is divided by a seal 9 into an inner 10 and outer annular space 11 in front of a first turbine disk, ie the substantially annular space between the drum cover 5 and the first turbine disk, which is closed by a rotor seal 8, a turbine blade root seal 24. This division makes it possible to pressurize the inner annulus 10 via a pressure line 14 and a control valve 15 with compressed air from the Kompressplplenum 2.
  • the introduction 16 of the compressed air into the inner annular space 10 can take place via holes through the drum cover or, as in Fig. 1 represented, via a plenum 17.
  • the compressed air is fed via the at least one pressure line 14 into the plenum 17. From there it passes via the introduction 16, which is designed, for example, as a plurality of holes in the inner annular space 10th
  • the inner annular space 10 is applied at partial load to increase the thrust by opening the control valve 15 via the pressure line 14 and the introduction 16 with pressure.
  • This air passes together with the leakage air of the rotor seal 8 in the outer annular space 11.
  • Fig. 3 the resulting axial thrust for control is shown as a function of the gas turbine load in regulation with a limit value and hysteresis.
  • the control valve 15 is initially open at low load of the gas turbine. After exceeding a limit value ⁇ , the control valve is closed and remains closed in the upper load range (solid line). When reducing the load, the control valve 15 when falling below the load ⁇ is opened again (dashed line).
  • dashed lines show the thrust profile with thrust reversal, which would result without additional thrust in the lower load range.
  • Fig. 4 shows the idealized thrust curve (solid line) over gas turbine load when controlling the load-dependent pressure ratio between pressure in the inner annulus and compressor end pressure.
  • the control valve 15 is initially open at low load of the gas turbine. From reaching a target thrust, for example, at the load ⁇ , the thrust is kept constant by changing the pressure in the inner annulus. Only when the control valve 15 is completely closed, which is the case, for example, at the load ⁇ , the thrust continues to increase to reach its maximum value at full load.
  • the dependence of the pressure ratio of load can be determined by model calculations or from experiments and programmed in the gas turbine controller.
  • dashed lines show the thrust curve with thrust reversal, which would result without additional thrust.
  • seals (8 and / or 9) can be designed as a brush seal.
