Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steam turbines, used, for example, in power generation.
  • the present invention relates to assembly of such a steam turbine.
  • a steam turbine conventionally includes an outer casing and an inner casing arranged therein. Inside the inner casing is mounted one or more stationary blade rings and guide blade carriers. Guide blade carriers are normally placed in the regions having high steam temperature and pressure whereas stationary blade rings are placed after in the regions having relatively lower steam temperature and pressure. Guide blade carriers are typically formed by casting wherein stationary blades are assembled in the guide blade carrier via grooves machined in the inner diameter of the guide blade carrier. Stationary blade rings are normally fabricated wherein the stationary blades are welded in the inner diameter of stationary blade rings.
  • Each Stationary blade ring or guide blade carrier On each Stationary blade ring or guide blade carrier are mounted one or more rows of guide blades axially separated from each other.
  • Each guide blade row includes several guide blades arranged next to each other in a circumferential direction.
  • transverse fixing of the inner casing to the components within, such as guide blade carriers or stationary blade ring are done by using flat faced fixing keys or liners.
  • the thicknesses of the keys or liners are adjusted by machining at site based on the available space for fitment of the keys or liners as measured at the site. This adjustment of thickness of the keys by machining at site is required for proper fastening of these components each time the steam turbine needs to reassemble following an overhaul, outage or upgrade.
  • the object of the present invention is the overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the state of the art, in particular, to obviate the need for machining the fixing keys at site every time during assembly of a steam turbine.
  • the underlying idea of the present invention is to provide transverse fixing of the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring to the inner casing in a steam turbine using tapered keys having varying thickness fitted therebetween.
  • the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring comprises a radially outward arm supported between a pair of transversely separated support faces of said inner casing.
  • a pair keys are slidably fitted respectively between the arm and each of the support faces, for transversely fastening said guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring to said inner casing.
  • An essential feature of the present invention is that each said key is tapered to have a varying thickness between said radial arm and the respective support face.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it provides easy assembly of the turbine by eliminating the need for on the site machining of the surface of the keys to adjust the thickness prior to assembly of the steam turbine.
  • a second advantage of the present invention is that the use of tapered keys provides improved alignment of such components.
  • each of the support faces of the inner casing is correspondingly tapered to interface with a respective tapered surface of each of the keys.
  • vertical adjustment is provided by the use of shims in the vertical gap between a transverse portion of the keys and a corresponding transverse surface of the inner casing, which vertical gap is resultant of the fitting of the keys between the inner casing and the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring.
  • FIG. 1 a longitudinal cross-section from the top of a low pressure steam turbine assembly 1 where the present invention finds an exemplary application.
  • the steam turbine assembly 1 includes an outer casing 2, enclosing an inner casing 3 arranged around a rotor 6 having a longitudinal axis 4 along a horizontal direction Y-Y.
  • the inner casing 3 and rotor 6 form an annular steam flow path between themselves, the inner casing 3 forming the outer periphery of the flow path.
  • a plurality of stationary guide blades 7 and rotating blades 8 are arranged in alternate rows interspaced axially.
  • Each row of moving blades includes a plurality of blades 8 affixed to the rotor 6 and arranged side by side in a circumferential direction, each blade having an airfoil portion extending radially outward from the rotor 6 into the steam flow path.
  • Each row of guide blades includes a plurality of guide blades 7 arranged side by side in a circumferential direction on a stationary blade ring or guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 that is affixed to the inner casing 3.
  • Each stationary guide blade 7 has an airfoil portion extending radially inwardly from the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 into the steam flow path.
  • the present invention provides a means for fastening the blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 to the inner casing 3 in the transverse direction X-X.
  • An exemplary arrangement for transverse fastening of the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 to the inner casing 3 is shown in FIG 2 , which shows a simplified cross-sectional view through the section A-A in FIG 1 .
  • the inner casing 3 and the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 are each made of an upper half and a lower half affixed to each other.
  • FIG 2 only the lower halves of the inner casing 3 and the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 are shown, wherein the essential features of the present invention are incorporated.
  • the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 i.e., the lower half thereof, includes a radial arm 10.
  • the radial arm 10 of the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 is supported between the faces 11a and 11b of the inner casing 3.
  • a pair of keys 13a and 13b are inserted on opposite sides of the radial arm 10, between the arm 10 and the respective support face 11a and 11b.
  • the keys 13a and 13b are tapered to have a varying thickness between the radial arm 10 and the respective support faces 11a and 11b.
  • each of the keys 13a and 13b includes a tapered surface 14a and 14b.
  • the support faces 11a and 11b are machined to have a corresponding taper that interfaces with the surfaces 14a and 14b of the keys 13a and 1b respectively.
  • the assembly method includes positioning the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 within the inner casing 3 such that the radial arm 10 of the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 extends between the support faces 11a and 11b.
  • the keys 13a and 13b are then vertically inserted into the spaces between the arm 10 and the support faces 11a and 11b, such that the surfaces 14a and 14b slide over the surfaces 12a and 12b till a tight fit is obtained, whereby the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring 5 is locked or fastened in the transverse direction X-X.
  • the above method of fastening obviates the need machining the surfaces of the keys for providing the required clearance with the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring each time during assembly or reassembly, for example, following an overhaul, outage or upgrade of the steam turbine. Further using tapered keys of the above type provides a better transverse alignment of the guide blade carrier or stationary blade ring with respect to the inner casing.
  • each of the keys 13a and 13b includes a transverse arm 15a and 15b which is supported over a respective transverse surface 12a and 12b on the inner casing.
  • the keys 13a and 13b are inserted to the required extent to obtain the necessary clearance.
  • a pair of shims 16a,16b are inserted into the resultant vertical gaps 18a and 18b between the transverse arms 15a,15b and the surfaces 12a,12b after the fitment of the keys.
  • the shims 16a and 16b are fastened by bolts 17a and 18b, to provide fastening in the vertical direction Z-Z.
  • the vertical gaps 18a and 18b may vary in thickness from assembly to assembly. Accordingly, shims of a required thickness may be inserted into these gaps to provide vertical adjustment to the assembly. Such a practice is less time consuming and more economical than the process of machining the surface of the flat keys for each assembly.
