Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a turbine system for power generation system and more particularly to a push rod arrangement for the turbine system for use in a power generation system.
  • a power generation system includes a turbine system such as a steam turbine system which utilizes a condenser to condense exhausted steam produced in a boiler to drive the turbine system; this steam is turned into liquid water for recirculation through the system.
  • the turbine system includes a high pressure turbine, an intermediate pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine.
  • a generator is coupled to the low pressure turbine via a drive shaft to generate electricity.
  • the casing and rotor of the turbine is generally made of different material and expand differentially. More particularly, the thermal expansion of the rotor is greater than the casing of the turbine; therefore in a turbine system thermal expansion of the intermediate pressure turbine rotor is transferred to the low pressure turbine rotor.
  • push rods are used between the casings of the intermediate pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine.
  • the object is achieved by providing a turbine system according to claim 1 and a power generation system according to claim 14.
  • the turbine system includes a first turbine having a first rotor, a second turbine having a second rotor, a push rod coupled to a casing of the first turbine at a first end and to a casing of the second turbine at a second end characterized in that the push rod comprises a device for controlling temperature.
  • the push rod By having a device for controlling the temperature of the push rod, the push rod would be expanded when heated and contracted when cooled thereby compensating for differential expansion in the turbine system.
  • an electrical component is used for controlling the temperature and thereby the heating the push rod.
  • An electric current is passed to the push rod thereby causing induction heating of the rod, which results in expansion of the push rod.
  • a steam jacket is used to heat the push rod. Steam is passed into the jacket at about 300 degree centigrade resulting in heating of the rod and resulting thermal expansion.
  • the push rod includes means for cooling to allow contraction of the push rod and also control the expansion of the push rod.
  • the means for cooling is a through hole in the push rod; the through hole in the push rod allows coolant to pass through the push rod thereby allowing cooling.
  • the coolant includes oil or steam from low pressure turbine exhaust steam.
  • Oil is efficient absorber of heat; also steam from low pressure turbine exhaust is at a relatively low temperature and would allow cooling of the push rod.
  • one or more valves allow a desired amount of coolant to pass through the through hole of the push rod depending on the amount of expansion or contraction required in the push rod.
  • the turbine system includes a measuring device for calculating the differential expansion of the push rod.
  • the measuring device is configured to provide a signal to the temperature controlling device.
  • the measuring device based on the differential expansion provides a signal to the temperature control device which then heats or cools the push rod.
  • the heat source assembly 12 such as a burner may include any heat source such as, but not limited to a nuclear heat source or a fossil fuel heat source which enables the power generation system 1 to function.
  • the boiler 10 is coupled to the heat source which is also in a flow communication with the turbine system 2.
  • the turbine system 2 which may also be referred to as the turbine train may include one or more turbines in a serial flow arrangement such as a high pressure turbine, an intermediate pressure turbine and a low pressure turbine.
  • the one or more turbines are coupled in flow communication with each other.
  • the turbine system 2 is coupled in flow communication with the condenser assembly 4 and operatively coupled to the generator 6 via at least one drive shaft.
  • the condenser assembly 4 is in flow communication with the boiler 10, a feed pump 8 facilitates pumping of condensate from condenser assembly 4 to the boiler 10.
  • the heat source assembly 12 heats a working fluid, such as water in the boiler 10 to produce steam therein.
  • the steam is directed into the turbine system 2 for driving the turbines, which in turn actuate the generator 6 to produce electricity.
  • FIG 2 is a diagrammatical illustration of a turbine system, such as the turbine system 2 of FIG 1 .
  • the turbine system 2 includes a high pressure turbine 20, a first turbine 22 which is an intermediate pressure turbine, a second turbine 24 and a third turbine 26.
  • the second turbine 24 and the third turbine 26 are two low pressure turbines.
  • the turbines are arranged in flow communication with each other. More particularly, the turbines are in a serial flow arrangement, wherein rotors of the turbines are operatively coupled to each other.
  • the first turbine 22 includes a first rotor 28 operatively coupled to a second rotor 32 of the second turbine 24.
  • the second rotor 32 is coupled to a third rotor 34 of the third turbine 26 as depicted in FIG 2 .
  • the third rotor 34 of the third turbine 26 is coupled to the generator 6 via a drive shaft 29.
  • the turbine system 2 also includes a high pressure turbine 20 disposed axially upstream the first turbine 22.

  • the coupling may include a thrust bearing 30 which is disposed between the first rotor 28 of the first turbine 22 and a rotor of the high pressure turbine 20.
  • the thrust bearing 30 prevents expansion of the first rotor 28 in a direction towards the high pressure turbine 20. More particularly, the thrust bearing 30 is disposed at a second face (not shown in FIG2 ) of the first rotor 28.
  • the turbine system includes a measuring device 40 such as a differential expansion (DE) meter coupled to the third turbine 26. More particularly, in the presently contemplated configuration, the DE meter is placed at a location proximal to the generator 6. It may be noted that the DE meter is connected to an inner casing of the third turbine 26.
  • the DE motor is configured to provide a signal as an output to a temperature controlling device of a push rod (not shown in FIG2 ).
  • a DE meters may be present wherein each DE meter is coupled to each turbine to measure the differential expansion at each turbine.
  • the temperature controlling device may be a heating system for the push rod. It may be noted that heating in the push rod may be induced electrically, such as, by passing an electric current to heat the push rod. Alternatively, heating in the push rod may be produced by passing heated substance such as a steam flow to increase the temperature of the push rod as will be described with reference to FIG 3 and FIG 4 .
  • FIG 3 is a schematic diagram depicting a section of a turbine 50 in accordance with aspects of the present technique.
  • a push rod 54 is coupled to an inner casing 56 of the steam turbine 50 at a first end and to an outer casing 58 of the second turbine (not shown) at the second end.
  • the push rod 54 includes a device 52 for controlling temperature.
  • the device 52 is an electric component such as an electric current regulator for passing a desired amount of current to the push rod 54. The current when passed through the push rod via an inductor heats the push rod thus raising the temperature of the push rod 54.
  • the push rod 54 includes means for cooling such as but not limited to a through hole 60 which is used for cooling purposes.
  • the through hole 60 extends along the length of the push rod 54.
  • the through hole 60 allows a coolant to pass through it thereby reducing the temperature of the push rod 54.
  • the coolant may include material such as oil.
  • steam from the low pressure turbine exhaust steam may be used as a coolant.
  • an oil spray system may also be used as a means for cooling the push rod.
  • the push rod 54 is heated to a temperature of about 300 degree centigrade which results in the expansion of push rod in the range of about 8 to 9 mm. In case, a lesser expansion is needed the cooling mechanism as described hereinabove may be used. It may be noted that the flow of coolant in the through hole 60 may be controlled through a use of valves (not shown in FIG 3 ).
  • the measuring device 40 which is the DE meter measures the differential expansion between the casing and the rotor of the turbine system.
