Abstract
Description
Gasturbine und Verfahren zum Abdichten von Leckströmen in einer solchenGas turbine and method for sealing leakage currents in such
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gasturbine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, sowie ein Verfahren zum Abdichten von Leckströmen gemäß Anspruch 6 und 7.The invention relates to a gas turbine according to the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for sealing leakage currents according to claims 6 and 7.
Um einen möglichst hohen Wirkungsgrad der Gasturbine zu erzielen, müssen Verluste in der Gasturbine gezielt unterbunden werden. Verluste können insbesondere im Bereich des Strömungskanals entstehen. Hier müssen spezielle Maßnahmen vorgesehen werden, um die für den Betrieb der Gasturbine notwendigen Spalte zwischen den rotierenden Laufschaufelreihen und den stationären Anlagenkomponenten, wie beispielsweise den Leitschaufeln oder den den Strömungskanal bildenden Gehäuseteilen, abzudichten. Leckströme des durch den Strömungskanal strömenden Heißgases, die an diesen Spalten auftreten können, können so weitgehend unterbunden werden.In order to achieve the highest possible efficiency of the gas turbine, losses in the gas turbine must be selectively prevented. Losses can occur especially in the region of the flow channel. Here special measures must be provided to seal the necessary for the operation of the gas turbine column between the rotating blade rows and the stationary plant components, such as the vanes or the flow channel forming housing parts. Leakage currents of the hot gas flowing through the flow channel, which can occur at these gaps, can thus be largely prevented.
Laufschaufeln von Gasturbinen weisen deshalb ein Schaufelblatt und ein an der Schaufelspitze ausgebildetes Deckband mit radial nach außen zeigenden und in Umlaufrichtung ausgerichteten Schneiden auf. Zwischen Deckband und einer, den Strömungskanal bildenden Gehäuseinnenwand des Turbinengehäuses ist ein Radialspalt ausgebildet. Zum Abdichten dieses Radialspaltes wird üblicherweise ein wabenförmiges Dichtband an der Gehäuseinnenwand befestigt. Dieses muss dabei den Radialspalt soweit ausfüllen, dass die Schneiden der Deckbänder zumindest teilweise in dieses Dichtband eingreifen. Die rotierenden Schneiden graben sich in das Dichtband ein und bilden so Furchen, was eine quasi labyrinthartige Dichtung aus diesen Schneiden und dem Dichtband entstehen lässt. Entsprechende Maßnahmen können auch seitlich am Laufschaufelblatt zur Abdichtung der Spalte zwischen Lauf- und Leitschaufeln vorgesehen werden.Therefore, blades of gas turbines have an airfoil and a shroud formed on the blade tip with radially outwardly facing and aligned in the direction of rotation cutting on. Between shroud and one, the flow channel forming the housing inner wall of the turbine housing, a radial gap is formed. For sealing this radial gap, a honeycomb-shaped sealing band is usually fastened to the housing inner wall. This must fill the radial gap so far that the cutting edges of the shrouds at least partially engage in this sealing strip. The rotating blades dig into the sealing band, forming grooves that create a quasi labyrinth-like seal of these blades and the sealing band. Corresponding measures can also be provided laterally on the blade blade for sealing the gap between blades and vanes.
Durch solche Abdichtungen können Leckströme durch diese Spalte verringert werden. Dichtbänder mit wabenförmigen Strukturen sind aber sehr aufwändig in der Herstellung und damit teuer. Zudem sind sie aufgrund ihrer filigranen Struktur anfällig gegen Verformungen und daher auch sehr wartungsintensiv.Such seals can reduce leakage currents through these gaps. But sealing tapes with honeycomb structures are very expensive to manufacture and therefore expensive. In addition, due to their filigree structure they are susceptible to deformation and therefore also very maintenance-intensive.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Gasturbine sowie ein Verfahren zum Abdichten solcher Leckströme bereitzustellen, welche die zuvor beschriebenen Nachteile überwinden.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a gas turbine and a method for sealing such leakage currents, which overcome the disadvantages described above.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Gasturbine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, sowie mit dem Verfahren zum Abdichten von Leckströmen mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 6 und 7 gelöst.This object is achieved with a gas turbine with the features of claim 1, as well as with the method for sealing leakage currents with the features of claim 6 and 7.
Erfindungsgemäß ist dabei vorgesehen, bekannte wabenförmige Dichtbänder durch Dichtbänder aus einer offenporigen Metallstruktur zu ersetzen. Die offenporige Metallstruktur könnte dabei beispielsweise aus einem auf Nickel oder einer Nickel-Kobalt-Legierung basierenden Material bestehen. Beide Materialien zeichnen sich durch hohe Oxidations- und Korrosionsbeständigkeit auch bei hohen Temperaturen aus, und sind somit für den Einsatz in Gasturbinen bestens geeignet. Durch eine geeignete Wahl der Porengröße lassen sich die thermischen und mechanischen Eigenschaften dieser Materialien einfach an die Erfordernisse als Dichtband zum Abdichten von Leckströmen anpassen. Zudem sind diese erfindungsgemäßen Dichtbänder aus solchen offenporigen Metallstrukturen, im Gegensatz zu den bekannten wabenartigen Dichtbändern, einfacher in der Herstellung und weniger anfällig gegen mechanische Verformungen und damit weniger wartungsintensiv und somit auch kostengünstiger.According to the invention, it is provided to replace known honeycomb-shaped sealing tapes with sealing tapes made of an open-pore metal structure. The open-pored metal structure could consist of a material based on nickel or a nickel-cobalt alloy, for example. Both materials are characterized by high oxidation and corrosion resistance even at high temperatures, and are therefore ideally suited for use in gas turbines. By a suitable choice of the pore size, the thermal and mechanical properties of these materials can be easily adapted to the requirements as a sealing tape for sealing leakage currents. In addition, these sealing tapes according to the invention of such open-pore metal structures, in contrast to the known honeycomb-like sealing tapes, easier to manufacture and less prone to mechanical deformation and thus less maintenance-intensive and thus more cost-effective.
