Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine rotierende Strömungsmaschine, insbesondere eine Gasturbine.The present invention relates to a rotating turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine.
Rotierende Strömungsmaschinen besitzen üblicherweise einen Rotor, der wenigstens zwei Laufschaufelreihen mit mehreren Laufschaufeln sowie wenigstens ein Rotorhitzeschutzschild mit mehreren Schutzschildelementen aufweist, wobei das jeweilige Rotorhitzeschutzschild axial zwischen zwei benachbarten Laufschaufelreihen angeordnet ist. Ferner umfasst eine derartige Strömungsmaschine üblicherweise einen Stator, der wenigstens eine, axial zwischen zwei benachbarten Laufschaufelreihen angeordnete Leitschaufelreihe mit mehreren Leitschaufeln aufweist.Rotary turbomachines usually have a rotor having at least two blade rows with multiple blades and at least one rotor heat shield with a plurality of shield elements, wherein the respective rotor heat shield is arranged axially between two adjacent blade rows. Furthermore, such a turbomachine usually comprises a stator which has at least one row of guide vanes arranged axially between two adjacent blade rows and having a plurality of guide vanes.
Zur Ausbildung einer Axialdichtung im Bereich der Leitschaufelreihe ist es grundsätzlich möglich, die Leitschaufeln der Leitschaufelreihe radial innen mit einer in Umfangsrichtung geschlossenen Statordichtstruktur auszustatten und die Schutzschildelemente radial außen mit einer in Umfangsrichtung geschlossenen Rotordichtstruktur auszustatten, die mit der Statordichtstruktur zur Ausbildung der Axialdichtung zusammenwirkt. Ferner ist es grundsätzlich möglich, einen Gaspfad der Strömungsmaschine, durch den sich die Laufschaufeln und die Leitschaufeln erstrecken, vom Rotor bzw. von einem Kühlgaspfad mit Hilfe von Radialdichtungen zu trennen, die zwischen in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Laufschaufeln oder zwischen in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Schutzschildelementen ausgebildet sein können.To form an axial seal in the region of the guide blade row, it is fundamentally possible to provide the guide vanes of the guide blade row radially inward with a stator seal structure which is closed in the circumferential direction and the protective shield elements radially outwardly with a circumferentially closed Provide rotor seal structure, which cooperates with the stator seal structure to form the axial seal. Further, it is basically possible to separate a gas path of the fluid machine through which the blades and the vanes extend from the rotor or a cooling gas path by means of radial seals which may be formed between circumferentially adjacent blades or between circumferentially adjacent shield members ,
Zur Leistungssteigerung bzw. zur Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrads einer derartigen Strömungsmaschine besteht permanent ein Bedürfnis, Fehlströmungen im Bereich von Dichtungen zur reduzieren.To increase performance or to increase the efficiency of such a turbomachine, there is a constant need to reduce false flows in the range of seals.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Strömungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art, eine verbesserte Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere durch einen erhöhten Wirkungsgrad auszeichnet.The invention aims to remedy this situation. The invention, as characterized in the claims, deals with the problem, for a turbomachine of the type mentioned, to provide an improved embodiment, which is characterized in particular by an increased efficiency.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.According to the invention, this problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Axialdichtung, die durch das Zusammenwirken einer Statordichtstruktur mit einer Rotordichtstruktur gebildet ist, mit einer von einer Laufschaufel über das Schutzschildelement zur anderen Laufschaufel durchgehenden Radialdichtung zu kombinieren. Auf diese Weise können Leckagen in axialer Richtung sowie in radialer Richtung reduziert werden, was die Leistungsfähigkeit der Strömungsmaschine bzw. deren Wirkungsgrad erhöht. Die Kombination der Axialdichtung im Bereich des Rotorhitzeschutzschilds mit der in axialer Richtung über das Rotorhitzeschutzschild durchgehenden, also unterbrechungsfreien oder lückenlosen Radialdichtung spielt dabei zur Wirkungsgradsteigerung zusammen. Die durchgehende Radialdichtung wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Strömungsmaschine dadurch realisiert, dass die Schutzschildelemente und die Laufschaufeln so aufeinander abgestimmt sind, dass die im Bereich der Schutzschildelemente ausgebildete Schutrschildradialdichtung unterbrechungsfrei in die im Bereich der Laufschaufeln ausgebildete Schaufelradialdichtungen übergeht.The invention is based on the general idea of combining an axial seal, which is formed by the interaction of a stator seal structure with a rotor-seal structure, with a radial seal passing through from one blade via the shield element to the other blade. In this way, leaks in the axial direction and in the radial direction can be reduced, which increases the efficiency of the turbomachine or its efficiency. The combination of the axial seal in the region of the rotor heat shield with the continuous in the axial direction over the rotor heat shield, so uninterrupted or gapless radial seal plays together to increase efficiency. The continuous radial seal is realized in the turbomachine according to the invention in that the shield elements and the blades are coordinated so that the trained in the shield elements Schutrschildradialichtung uninterrupted merges into the trained in the blades blade radial seals.
Diese Radialdichtungen werden dabei mit Hilfe von Dichtelementen realisiert, die im Bereich der Schutzschildelemente in Schutzschildnuten und im Bereich der Laufschaufeln in Schaufelnuten angeordnet sind. Durch eine spezielle Abstimmung der Schutzschildelemente und der Laufschaufeln aufeinander kann erreicht werden, dass axiale Längsenden der Schutzschildnuten zu axial benachbarten axialen Längsenden der Schaufelnuten axial fluchten, wodurch es möglich ist, plattenförmige oder bandförmige Dichtelemente so anzuordnen, dass sie sich zum Teil in den Schutzschildnuten und zum Teil in den Schaufelnuten zumindest einer der benachbarten Laufschaufeln erstrecken. Auf diese Weise kann ein Axialspalt, der axial zwischen dem Schutzschildelement und der jeweiligen Laufschaufel ausgebildet ist, durch das jeweilige Dichtelement in einem Bereich, der in Umfangsrichtung zwischen benachbarten Schutzschildelementen bzw. in Umfangsrichtung zwischen benachbarten Laufschaufeln angeordnet ist, effektiv abgedeckt werden, was die Dichtungswirkung der so gebildeten Radialdichtung erheblich verbessert.These radial seals are realized by means of sealing elements, which are arranged in the shield shield elements in protective shield grooves and in the region of the blades in blade grooves. By a special vote of the shield elements and the blades to each other can be achieved that axial longitudinal ends of the shield grooves are axially aligned axially adjacent axial longitudinal ends of the blade grooves, whereby it is possible to arrange plate-shaped or band-shaped sealing elements so that they are partially in the protective shields and extend in part in the blade grooves of at least one of the adjacent blades. In this way, an axial gap axially formed between the shield member and the respective blade can be effectively covered by the respective seal member in an area circumferentially between adjacent shield members and circumferentially between adjacent blades, respectively, which has the sealing effect the radial seal thus formed significantly improved.
Efindungsgemäß stoßen benachbarte Dichtelemente zwischen den axialen Längsenden der Schaufelnuten und/oder zwischen den axialen Längsenden der Schutzschildnuten axial aneinander. Hierdurch kann die Dichtungswirkung der Radialdichtung erhöht werden, was den Wirkungsgrad der Strömungsmaschine verbessert.According to the invention, adjacent sealing elements abut each other axially between the axial longitudinal ends of the blade grooves and / or between the axial longitudinal ends of the protective shield grooves. As a result, the sealing effect of the radial seal can be increased, which improves the efficiency of the turbomachine.
Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform können die Schutzschildelemente zwischen ihren axialen Enden jeweils eine radial nach innen zurückspringende Vertiefung aufweisen, in der die Rotordichtstruktur angeordnet ist. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei eine Weiterbildung, bei welcher die genannte Vertiefung so dimensioniert ist, dass die Axialdichtung innerhalb dieser Vertiefung ausgebildet ist und relativ zu den Schaufelradialdichtungen der benachbarten Laufschaufeln radial nach innen versetzt angeordnet ist. Durch diese Bauweise wird erreicht, dass sich die Axialdichtung in einem Bereich befindet, der sich quasi außerhalb einer im Gaspfad der Strömungsmaschine strömenden Gasströmung befindet, was die Effektivität der Axialdichtung verbessert. Durch die Vertiefung wird innerhalb des Gaspfades quasi eine Totwasserzone gebildet, in der die Axialdichtung eine verbesserte Dichtungswirkung erzielt.In another advantageous embodiment, the shield elements between their axial ends each have a radially inwardly recessed recess in which the rotor seal structure is arranged. Particularly advantageous is a development in which said recess is dimensioned so that the axial seal is formed within this recess and is arranged offset radially inwardly relative to the blade radial seals of the adjacent blades. This design ensures that the axial seal is located in a region which is virtually outside a gas flow flowing in the gas path of the turbomachine, which improves the effectiveness of the axial seal. Through the depression, virtually a dead water zone is formed within the gas path, in which the axial seal achieves an improved sealing effect.
Weitere wichtige Merkmale und Vorteile der erfindungsgemäßen Strömungsmaschine ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, aus der Zeichnung und aus der zugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung anhand der Zeichnung.Further important features and advantages of the turbomachine according to the invention will become apparent from the subclaims, from the drawing and from the associated description of the figures with reference to the drawing.
Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be explained in more detail in the following description.
Die einzige Figur zeigt einen vereinfachten Längsschnitt durch einen Teilbereich einer Strömungsmaschine.The single FIGURE shows a simplified longitudinal section through a portion of a turbomachine.
Entsprechend
Die Leitschaufeln 9 zumindest einer dieser Leitschaufelreihen 8 weisen radial innen eine Statordichtstruktur 10 auf, die in Umfangsrichtung geschlossen ausgestaltet sein kann. Hierzu kann beispielsweise jede Leitschaufel 9 radial innen an ihrer Schaufelspitze eine flächige, sich in Umfangsrichtung sowie axial erstreckende Plattform 11 aufweisen, die nach Art eines Deckbands ausgestaltet sein kann. Die Statordichtstruktur 10 ist an diesen Leitschaufelplattformen 11 angeordnet.The guide vanes 9 of at least one of these
Das jeweilige Rotorhitzeschutzschild 7 umfasst in der Regel mehrere, in Umfangsrichtung benachbarte Schutzschildelemente 12, die nach Art von Ringsegmenten das jeweilige Rotorhitzeschutzschild 7 bilden. Die einzelnen Schutzschildelemente 12 weisen radial außen eine Rotordichtstruktur 13 auf, die sich in Umfangsrichtung geschlossen erstreckt. Die Rotordichtstruktur 13 und die Statordichtstruktur 10 sind dabei radial benachbart angeordnet und wirken zur Ausbildung einer Axialdichtung 14 zusammen.The respective
Die in
Die Schutzschildelemente 12 und die Laufschaufeln 6 der zum Rotorhitzeschutzschild 7 benachbarten Laufschaufelreihen 5 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass die Schutzschildradialdichtung 16 ohne Unterbrechung sowohl in die stromauf liegende Schaufelradialdichtung 15 als auch in die stromab liegende Schaufelradialdichtung 15 übergeht. Dieser unterbrechungsfreie Übergang zwischen der Schutzschildradialdichtung 16 und den beiden Schaufelradialdichtungen 15 ist dabei so realisiert, dass sich dadurch eine Radialdichtung 21 ausbilden kann, die in der Längsrichtung von der einen Laufschaufel 6 über das jeweilige Schutzschildelement 12 bis zur anderen Laufschaufel 6 quasi nahtlos oder lückenlos durchgehend ausgestaltet ist. Beachtenswert ist dabei, dass sowohl bei einem stromauf liegenden Übergang 22 als auch bei einem stromab liegenden Übergang 23 zwischen dem Schutzschildelement 12 und der jeweiligen Laufschaufel 6 eine durchgehende Radialdichtung 21 realisiert werden kann.The
Die jeweilige Schaufelradialdichtung 15 umfasst im Bereich von Schaufelfüßen 24 der in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Laufschaufeln 6 jeweils eine in Umfangsrichtung offene Schaufelnut 25. Die beiden Schaufelnuten 25 der jeweiligen Schaufelradialdichtung 15 liegen sich mit ihren offenen Seiten zueinander fluchtend gegenüber, so dass in diese Schaufelnuten 25 ein plattenförmiges oder bandförmiges Dichtelement 26 einlegbar ist. Die Schutzschildradialdichtung 16 ist in entsprechender Weise aufgebaut und weist in Bereichen 27, die an die Rotordichtstruktur 13 angrenzen, bei den in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Schutzschildelementen 12 jeweils eine in Umfangsrichtung offene Schutzschildnut 28 auf. Auch hier liegen sich die Schutzschildnuten 28 der beiden in Umfangsrichtung benachbarten Schutzschildelemente 12 in Umfangsrichtung zueinander fluchtend gegenüber, so dass in die Schutzschildnuten 28 ebenfalls ein plattenförmiges oder bandförmiges Dichtelement 26 einführbar ist.The respective blade
Die Schutzschildnuten 28 und die Schaufelnuten 25 sind zweckmäßig nun so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass in den Übergangsbereichen 22, 23 axiale Längsenden 29 der Schutzschildnuten 28 zu axial benachbarten axialen Längsenden 30 der Schaufelnuten 25 axial fluchten. Hierdurch ist es möglich, in den Übergangsbereichen 22, 23 ein gemeinsames Dichtelement 26 oder jeweils ein Dichtelement 26 anzuordnen, und zwar so, dass es sich von den Schutzschildnuten 28 axial bis in die Schaufelnuten 25 hinein erstreckt oder dass es sich von den Schaufelnuten 25 der Laufschaufeln 6 der einen Laufschaufelreihe 5 axial bis in die Schutzschildnuten 28 hinein erstreckt.The
Dabei ist es grundsätzlich möglich, ein durchgehendes, relativ langes Dichtelement 26 zu verwenden, das sich in den jeweiligen Nuten 25, 28 von der einen Laufschaufelreihe 5 über das Rotorhitzeschutzschild 7 bis in die andere Laufschaufelreihe 5 erstreckt. Bevorzugt können jedoch mehrere Dichtelemente 26 vorgesehen sein, wobei insbesondere benachbarte Dichtelemente 26 zwischen den axialen Längsenden 29 der Schutzschildnuten 28 und/oder zwischen den axialen Längsenden 30 der jeweiligen Schaufelnuten 25 axial aneinander stoßen. Ebenso ist es grundsätzlich möglich, vergleichsweise kleine Dichtelemente 26 vorzusehen, die nur im jeweiligen Übergangsbereich 22 bzw. 23 zur Überbrückung des dortigen ringförmigen Axialspalts angeordnet sind und sich dabei einerseits bis in die Schutzschildnuten 28 und andererseits bis in die Schaufelnuten 25 erstrecken.It is basically possible to use a continuous, relatively long sealing
Die Schutzschildelemente 12 können entsprechend der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform zwischen ihren axialen Enden, also zwischen den Übergangsbereichen 22, 23 eine radial nach innen zurückspringende Vertiefung 31 aufweisen. In dieser Vertiefung 31 ist die Rotordichtstruktur 13 angeordnet. Ferner sind die Leitschaufeln 9 hier so dimensioniert, dass auch die Statordichtstruktur 10 innerhalb dieser Vertiefung 31 angeordnet ist. Gemäß der hier gezeigten bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Vertiefung 31 so dimensioniert sein, dass die durch das Zusammenspiel der Rotordichtstruktur 13 mit der Statordichtstruktur 10 gebildete Axialdichtung 14 innerhalb der Vertiefung 31 ausgebildet ist. Die Axialdichtung 14 ist dabei relativ zu den Schaufelradialdichtungen 15 der benachbarten Laufschaufeln 6 radial nach innen versetzt angeordnet. Hierdurch befindet sich die Axialdichtung 14 radial außerhalb der Gasströmung 19 im Gaspfad 17 und insbesondere in einem Totwassergebiet der Gasströmung 19.The
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann die Statordichtstruktur 10 einschleifbar ausgestaltet sein. Beispielsweise kann die Statordichtstruktur 10 hierzu als Wabenstruktur 33 mit radial orientierten Waben ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise ist dann die Rotordichtstruktur 13 einschleifend ausgestaltet. Beispielsweise ist die Rotordichtstruktur 13 durch wenigstens einen klingenförmigen Ringsteg 32 gebildet. Im gezeigten Beispiel sind zwei derartige Ringstege 32 vorgesehen, die in axialer Richtung voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind. Im Betrieb der Strömungsmaschine 1 kann sich die Rotordichtstruktur 13 in die Statordichtstruktur 10 einschleifen, das heißt, der jeweilige Ringsteg 32 dringt in die Wabenstruktur 33 ein.According to an advantageous embodiment, the
Zweckmäßig wirken die Statordichtstruktur 10 und die Rotordichtstruktur 13 zur Ausbildung der Axialdichtung 14 nach Art einer Labyrinthdichtung zusammen. Insbesondere kann hierzu die Statordichtstruktur 10 mehrere, z. B. zwei, ringförmige Axialabschnitte 34 aufweisen, die gegenüber einem dazu benachbarten, hier mittleren ringförmigen Axialabschnitt 35 radial nach außen versetzt sind. Die Rotordichtstruktur 13 weist dann mehrere, hier zwei radial nach außen vorstehende Ringstege 32 auf, die jeweils im Bereich eines der radial nach außen versetzten Radialabschnitte 34 angeordnet sind.Suitably, the
