Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dampfzuführung für eine ein Innengehäuse und ein Außengehäuse umfassende Strömungsmaschine, insbesondere Dampfturbine, umfassend: eine erste Innenrohrleitung zum Führen von Strömungsmedium, wobei die Innenrohrleitung zum Anlegen an eine Innengehäuse-Einströmöffnung des Innengehäuses ausgebildet ist, eine um die Innenrohrleitung angeordnete Außenrohrleitung, wobei die Dampfzuführung zum Anlegen an eine Außengehäuse-Einströmöffnung der Strömungsmaschine ausgebildet ist.
Strömungsmaschinen, wie zum Beispiel Dampfturbinen, werden mit einem Strömungsmedium betrieben. In Dampfturbinen wird Wasserdampf als Strömungsmedium verwendet, der eine Temperatur von über 600°C bei einem Druck von über 300 bar (30000 kPa) aufweisen kann. Solch hohe Temperaturen und Drücke stellen erhöhte Anforderungen an die Materialen der Dampfturbine. Insbesondere wird der Bereich der Dampfeinströmung thermisch und mechanisch hoch belastet.Turbomachines, such as steam turbines, are operated with a flow medium. In steam turbines water vapor is used as the flow medium, which may have a temperature of over 600 ° C at a pressure of about 300 bar (30,000 kPa). Such high temperatures and pressures make increased demands on the materials of the steam turbine. In particular, the area of the steam inflow is subjected to high thermal and mechanical loads.
Eine Dampfturbine als Ausführungsform einer Strömungsmaschine weist für den Einsatz von in die Dampfturbine einströmendem stark erhitzten Frischdampf üblicherweise ein Innengehäuse, ein um das Innengehäuse angeordnetes Außengehäuse und einen innerhalb des Innengehäuses drehbar gelagerten Rotor auf. Der Frischdampf strömt über so genannte Einströmstutzen durch das Außengehäuse und das Innengehäuse in den Strömungskanal hinein. Der Bereich um diese Einströmstutzen wird daher thermisch hoch belastet. Durch geeignete Dampfzuführungsleitungen wird der heiße Wasserdampf möglichst vom Außengehäuse thermisch entkoppelt.A steam turbine as an embodiment of a turbomachine usually has an inner housing, an outer housing arranged around the inner housing and a rotor rotatably mounted within the inner housing for the use of highly heated live steam flowing into the steam turbine. The live steam flows through so-called inflow through the outer housing and the inner housing into the flow channel. The area around these inflow is therefore subjected to high thermal loads. By suitable steam supply lines, the hot steam is thermally decoupled from the outer casing as possible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Dampfzuführung anzugeben, die für hohe Temperaturen geeignet ist.The object of the invention is to provide a steam supply which is suitable for high temperatures.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung geht unter anderem von dem Aspekt aus, dass es von Vorteil ist, wenn eine Dampfzuführung zwei Rohrleitungen aufweist, die koaxial übereinander angeordnet sind, wobei durch die innere Rohrleitung der Frischdampf strömt und um die innere Rohrleitung ein Kühlmedium strömt.The invention is based inter alia on the aspect that it is advantageous if a steam supply has two pipes which are arranged coaxially one above the other, wherein the live steam flows through the inner pipe and a cooling medium flows around the inner pipe.
Die Erfindung zeigt unter anderem den Vorteil, dass die Dampfzuführungsleitung derart ausgebildet ist, dass um eine innere Innenrohrleitung eine Außenrohrleitung angeordnet ist. Zwischen der Außenrohrleitung und der Innenrohrleitung bildet sich ein Spalt aus, in dem ein Kühlmedium strömbar ist. Dieses Kühlmedium bewirkt eine Kühlung der Außenrohrleitung. Die Außenrohrleitung kann nun direkt an eine Dampfturbine angekoppelt werden, wobei die Dampfturbine geringer thermisch belastet wird. Somit kann Frischdampf mit hoher Temperatur verwendet werden.The invention has, inter alia, the advantage that the steam supply line is designed such that an outer pipe is arranged around an inner inner pipe. Between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, a gap is formed, in which a cooling medium can be flowed. This cooling medium causes cooling of the outer pipe. The outer pipe can now be coupled directly to a steam turbine, the steam turbine is less thermally stressed. Thus, live steam at high temperature can be used.
Das Kühlmedium wird über eine Kühlmedium-Zuströmungsöffnung in den Raum zwischen der Außenrohrleitung und der Innenrohrleitung eingeströmt. Das Kühlmedium kann hierbei ein externes Kühlmedium sein oder aus der Dampfturbine stammen. Beispielsweise kann als Kühlmedium, der nach dem Strömungskanal ausströmende Dampf verwendet werden. In bekannten Dampfturbinen wird Frischdampf mit einer Temperatur von ca. 620°C und einem Druck von ca. 350 bar (35000 kPa) in die Dampfturbine eingeströmt und im Strömungskanal entspannt, wobei die thermische Energie des Dampfes in mechanische Energie umgewandelt wird und eine Rotation des Rotors hervorruft. Nach dem Strömungskanal kann der entspannte Dampf eine Temperatur von 500°C aufweisen und als Kühlmedium verwendet werden.The cooling medium is flowed into the space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe via a cooling medium inflow opening. The cooling medium may in this case be an external cooling medium or originate from the steam turbine. For example, can be used as the cooling medium, the effluent after the flow channel steam. In known steam turbines live steam at a temperature of about 620 ° C and a pressure of about 350 bar (35000 kPa) is flowed into the steam turbine and expanded in the flow channel, the thermal energy of the steam is converted into mechanical energy and a rotation of the Rotor causes. After the flow channel, the expanded steam may have a temperature of 500 ° C and be used as a cooling medium.
Der entspannte Dampf wird üblicherweise in einem Zwischenüberhitzer auf einen Druck von ca. 350 bar (35000 kPa) gebracht und als Zwischenüberhitzerdampf bezeichnet. Dieser zwischenüberhitzte Dampf kann ebenfalls als Kühlmedium verwendet werden.The expanded steam is usually brought in a reheater to a pressure of about 350 bar (35000 kPa) and as Reheater steam called. This reheated steam can also be used as a cooling medium.
Das um die Innenrohrleitung befindliche Kühlmedium wirkt in radialer Richtung und übt somit eine mechanische Spannung auf die Innenrohrleitung und auf die Außenrohrleitung auf. Die Innenrohrleitung und die Außenrohrleitung werden dadurch mechanisch entlastet.The cooling medium located around the inner pipe acts in the radial direction and thus exerts a mechanical stress on the inner pipe and on the outer pipe. The inner pipe and the outer pipe are thereby mechanically relieved.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist die Außenrohrleitung an einer ersten Stelle um die Innenrohrleitung miteinander verbunden, wobei darunter eine mechanisch festsitzende Verbindung zu verstehen ist. Diese Verbindung kann beispielsweise durch Verbindungsmittel wie Schrauben oder ähnliches erreicht werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit, die Außenrohrleitung an einer ersten Stelle an die Innenrohrleitung zu verbinden wäre es, wenn die Außenrohrleitung und die Innenrohrleitung materialeinstückig ausgebildet sind. Durch diese Anordnung an der ersten Stelle wird ein Ausströmen des Kühlmediums aus dem Raum zwischen der Außenrohrleitung und der Innenrohrleitung verhindert.In an advantageous development, the outer pipe is connected to one another at a first location around the inner pipe, which is to be understood as a mechanically fixed connection. This connection can be achieved for example by connecting means such as screws or the like. Another way to connect the outer pipe at a first location to the inner pipe would be if the outer pipe and the inner pipe are formed materialeinstückig. By this arrangement at the first location, a leakage of the cooling medium from the space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe is prevented.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist die Außenrohrleitung an einer zweiten Stelle mit der Innenrohrleitung miteinander verbunden. Durch diese Maßnahme wird ein Ausströmen des Kühlmediums aus dem Raum zwischen der Außenrohrleitung und der Innenrohrleitung verhindert.In a further advantageous development, the outer pipe is connected to one another at a second location with the inner pipe. By this measure, leakage of the cooling medium from the space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe is prevented.
Vorteilhafter Weise ist zwischen der ersten und zweiten Stelle eine Zuströmöffnung angeordnet. Dadurch ist eine einfache Möglichkeit gegeben, um das Kühlmedium in dem Raum zwischen der Außenrohrleitung und der Innenrohrleitung zu füllen.Advantageously, an inflow opening is arranged between the first and second locations. This provides a simple way to fill the cooling medium in the space between the outer pipe and the inner pipe.
