Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steam turbine comprising a housing and a rotor, wherein the housing has a passage for the passage of external Kuhlmedium, wherein the rotor is at least partially hollow.
  • a steam turbine is understood to mean any turbine or sub-turbine through which a working medium in the form of steam flows.
  • gas turbines are traversed with gas and / or air as a working medium, but that is subject to completely different temperature and pressure conditions than the steam in a steam turbine.
  • gas turbines for steam turbines has eg a turbine inflow end ⁇ working medium with the highest temperature at the same time the highest pressure.
  • An open cooling system, as in gas turbines, is therefore not feasible without external supply.
  • a steam turbine typically includes a vaned rotatably mounted rotor disposed within a casing shell.
  • a vane is usually held at a first location along an inside of the steam turbine house. It is usually part of a Blade which comprises a number of vanes arranged along an inner circumference on the inside of the steam turbine housing. Each vane has its blade radially inward. A vane ring at a location along the axial extent is also referred to as a vane row. Usually, a plurality of vane rows are arranged one behind the other.
  • the rotatably mounted in the steam turbine steam turbine rotors are subjected to thermal stress during operation.
  • the development and production of a steam turbine rotor is both expensive and time consuming.
  • the steam turbine rotors are considered the most stressed and expensive components of a steam turbine. This increasingly applies to high steam turbines.
  • a characteristic of the steam turbine rotor is that they do not have any significant heat sink. Therefore, the cooling of the blades arranged on the steam turbine rotor is difficult.
  • Piston area is to be understood as the area of a thrust balance piston.
  • the thrust balance piston acts in a steam turbine such that a force caused by the working medium force is formed on the rotor in one direction counter-force in the opposite direction.
  • Rotor through which a cooling medium can flow, carried out.
  • a disadvantage here is felt that between two ver ⁇ different expansion sections no controllable bypass can be formed from ⁇ .
  • problems in on-site operation are possible.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a steam turbine, which can be operated at high steam temperatures.
  • a steam turbine comprising a housing and a rotor, wherein the housing has a fürfuh ⁇ tion for carrying out external Kuhlmedium, wherein the rotor is at least partially hollow, with a Supply line for passing the external Kuhlmediums is provided in the cavity of the rotor.
  • Cooling medium is guided to a suitable location of the rotor.
  • the cavity is used as a suitable location.
  • the cavity is expediently attached to the places which are exposed to a high thermal load.
  • the hitherto known method in which the external cooling medium is flowed into the steam turbine and immediately cools thermally stressed parts such as the thrust balance piston, is therefore improved by the cooling medium is guided by the housing in the cavity of the rotor after the passage.
  • the cooling steam must have a higher pressure than at the inflow, so that it can be guided into the cavity.
  • An advantage of this cooling principle according to the invention is that the temperature of the cooling medium can be adjusted.
  • Steam turbines are usually used at different loads. So a steam turbine at full load operation ⁇ or Operalastbet ⁇ eb example operated.
  • the cooling requirements for the various load operations are different, so the requirement for the cooling of the steam turbine in part load operation is lower than in full load operation.
  • the invention is advantageously developed further, if the rotor is designed such that the cooling medium via rotor Cooling lines rst from the cavity rst.
  • the Kuhlmedrum first flows through external lines through the housing in the cavity of the rotor and then flows at appropriate points from the rotor back into the main flow.
  • the cooling medium flows and cools the rotor from the inside.
  • the outflow of Kuhlmediums from the rotor takes place at one or more downstream locations.
  • the cooling medium fulfills two tasks, so to speak, on the one hand, the cooling medium cools the rotor at appropriate locations and on the other, the Kuhlmedium contributes to the efficiency in which it is fed back into the main flow and performed on the guide and moving blades work.
  • the supply line is arranged in the region of a steam flow range. As a result, a suitable point for the supply line is found, since it is precisely the area of the steam inflow area which is exposed to very high thermal loads and therefore requires a preferred cooling.
  • the supply line is arranged next to a thrust balance piston.
  • the cooling medium before it is guided into the cavity of the rotor, to cool the thrust balance piston.
  • the thrust balance piston is subject to high thermal loads, especially at full load.
  • the rotor has rotor blades which are designed such that the cooling medium can flow through the rotor blades.
  • This provides the advantage that in addition to the rotor and the blades can be cooled.
  • it is preferred to use the film cooling of the rotor blades known from gas turbine technology. In this way, the blade foot or can be cooled effectively at ⁇ particular thermally stressed regions of the rotor.
  • the rotor is made of disk rotors and braced with a tie rod.
  • the disk rotor is formed with a toothing for transmitting a torque.
  • the rotor made of different materials can be formed from ⁇ . It is conceivable, for example, that a disk runner, which is exposed to lower thermal loads than a disk runner, which is exposed to high thermal stress, is performed with a material which is kos ⁇ ten redesigner and yet withstand the thermal loads.
  • the toothing is designed such that the cooling medium can flow between two adjacent disk rotors.
  • the toothing is formed such that the toothing fürt ⁇ tts- openings.
  • channels can be provided in the so-called Hirth toothing. Through these channels, the cooling medium is strombar.
