Description

Field of invention

The present invention relates to a tube for being installed into a guide vane of a turbine, a guide vane device of a turbine and a method of manufacturing a tube for a guide vane of a turbine.

Art Background

A turbine nozzle guide vane may comprise an internal impingement cooling system into which cooling air is fed through a tube which is mounted in a vane body of the guide vane. The tube comprises holes to direct discrete flows of cooling air against an internal wall of the guide vane. The tube is typically fixed in a close-fit manner within the body of the guide vane in order to restrict radial leakage flows of the cooling air. In order to achieve the close-fit fixation of the tube within the guide vane, the tube may be partially flexible in order to provide a good manufacturing variability.
Furthermore, it is known to split the tube into separate chambers along a tube's length, whereby each chamber is fed separately with cooling air from different sources within the turbine. Such a configuration may enable a selection of cooling air to optimize the cooling effectiveness over the vane airfoil surface. In order to generate these separate chambers, dividers or bulk head features are incorporated into the tube. The dividers affect the stiffness of the tube, such that the stiffness of the tube is increased by the dividers. The increased stiffness of the tube leads to a difficult assembly due to fouling or generating the close-fit between the tube and the guide vane body.
The divider may be brazed to the surfaces of the tube. Hence, during assembly of the tube, the higher stiffness of the tube due to the divider may cause a fracture of the brazing connection between the divider and the tube surface.

Furthermore, an interconnecting passage is provided to take the cooling air to a second apertured member where an impingement cools the respective second surface.

Summary of the Invention

It may be an objective of the present invention to provide a guide vane for a turbine which is robust and simple to manufacture.
This objective may be solved by a tube for being installed into a guide vane of a turbine, by a guide vane device of a turbine and by a method of manufacturing a tube for a guide vane of a turbine according to the independent claims.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a tube for being installed into a guide vane of a turbine is presented. The tube comprises a tube wall for forming a fluid channel and a dividing wall which is arranged inside the fluid channel. The dividing wall comprises a first edge and a second edge which is spaced apart from the first edge. The first edge is fixed to a first surface section of the tube wall. The dividing wall is formed in such a way that the second edge resiliently abuts in a detachable manner against a second surface section of the tube wall such that the dividing wall divides the fluid channel into a first channel and a second channel.
Furthermore, according to a further aspect of the present invention, a guide vane device of a turbine is presented. The guide vane device comprises the above-described tube and the guide vane which comprises an inner volume. The tube is arranged inside the inner volume.
Furthermore, according to a further aspect of the present invention, a method of manufacturing a tube for a guide vane of a turbine is presented. According to a method, a tube which comprises a tube wall for forming a fluid channel is provided. A first edge of a dividing wall is fixed to a first surface section of the tube wall. A second edge of the dividing wall, which second edge is spaced from the first edge, is resiliently abutted in a detachable manner against the tube wall such that the dividing wall divides the fluid channel into a first channel and a second channel.
The guide vane comprises an aerodynamic profile and guides a hot working gas of the turbine in a desired direction. The guide vane is mounted to a turbine housing, and in particular to a guide vane carrier. The guide vane comprises a centre axis (e.g. the symmetry axis) which runs generally along the length of the guide vane and particularly along a radial direction to a rotary axis of a turbine shaft of the turbine. The guide vane comprises an inner volume into which the tube is mountable.
The tube comprises the fluid channel, through which cooling fluid (e.g. cooling air) flows. Hence, the tube wall of the tube is cooled by the cooling air such that also the guide vane is cooled by the cooling air. Additionally, the tube wall may comprise holes through which the cooling fluid may flow from the fluid channel to an inner surface of the guide vane for cooling purposes.
The tube and in particular the fluid channel comprises a centre axis which runs along the length of the tube and generally parallel to the centre axis of the guide vane. The fluid channel comprises a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, wherein the fluid outlet is located at an opposite end of the tube along the central axis with respect to the fluid inlet. In particular, the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet are arranged at opposite ends of the tube in such a way that the cooling fluid flows through the fluid channel along a radial direction with respect to the rotary axis of the turbine shaft.
The guide vane comprises a leading edge against which the hot working gas of the turbine streams and a trailing edge, where the hot working gas streams away from the guide vane. Hence, the hot working gas heats the section of the guide vane in the vicinity of the leading edge more than the section of the guide vane in the vicinity of the trailing edge. Hence, in order to provide a more efficient cooling of the guide vane, it is desired to provide a cooler cooling fluid or a higher mass flow of the cooling fluid in the vicinity of the leading edge than in the vicinity of the trailing edge.
For this reason the fluid channel of the tube is divided by the dividing wall into a first channel and a second channel. The first channel and the second channel are divided by the dividing wall in such a way that through the first channel a cooling fluid with different parameters (temperature, mass flow, pressure) in comparison to parameters of a cooling fluid which flows through the second channel is provided.
Alternatively, also two or a plurality of dividing walls may be arranged inside the fluid channel in order to provide a respective plurality of further channels inside the fluid channel.
The dividing wall may be a sheet metal and a metal plate, respectively, which divides the fluid channel into the first channel and the second channel. The dividing wall runs generally along the length of the tube. According to the present invention, the dividing wall is fixed with a first edge to a first surface section of the tube wall and abuts with a second edge against a second surface section of the tube wall.
The first edge and the second edge may be for example parallel edges of the dividing wall, wherein the first edge and the second edge are opposite located edges of the dividing wall. The first edge is a free end of the plate. The first edge has a longitudinal extension and is in other words a free end of one side of the dividing wall. Accordingly, the second edge has a similar longitudinal extension and is in other words a free end of another side of the dividing wall, i.e. opposite with respect to the first edge. The dividing wall may have a rectangular shape, wherein the edges and thus the dividing wall run along the length and the centre axis of the tube, respectively. Alternatively, the dividing wall may also comprise a curved shape. In particular, the dividing wall may run from a first fluid opening of the fluid channel to a second fluid opening of the fluid channel. Accordingly, each of the first channel and the second channel, which are formed by the dividing wall, may have a respective first fluid opening and a respective second fluid inlet. Through each of the respective first and second channels, fluid with different parameters may be injected.
The term "resiliently abuts in a detachable manner" means that the second edge is not fixed to the second surface section by any fixation means (such as welding, brazing or gluing means) but only (i.e. sealingly) contacts the second surface section. In particular, the contour of the second edge in comparison to the second surface section is formed and adapted in such a way that a sealing between the first channel and the second channel is achievable. Furthermore, the contact of the second edge to the tube wall (i.e. the second surface section) is strong enough, such that the sealing between the first channel and the second channel is provided. The dividing wall may be a metal plate and hence elastically deformable and hence comprises resilient properties.
Hence, if the first channel is located more upstream with respect to a flow direction of the hot working gas of the turbine and hence in the vicinity of the leading edge of the guide vane, more cooling fluid or a cooler cooling fluid may be injected such that the cooling efficiency of the cooling fluid in the first channel is higher than a cooling fluid which is injected through the second channel, wherein the second channel is located closer to the vicinity of the trailing edge of the guide vane.
By the present invention, the dividing wall is (only) fixed with the first edge to the tube wall of the tube. The opposite second edge only resiliently abuts in a detachable manner against a second surface section of the tube wall. Hence, if the tube is compressed during the inserting of the tube into the inner volume of the guide vane, the second edge may slide along the second surface section. Thus, the stiffness of the dividing wall is reduced and an easier manufacturing and installation of the tube inside the guide vane is achieved. Furthermore, if the tube is fitted into the inner volume of the guide vane, the tube may expand elastically again, such that the second edge slides along the second surface section into its initial position. However, during the compression and expansion of the tube, the second edge stays in contact and is kept abutted against the second surface such that a sealing between the first channel and the second channel is provided.
Hence, by the present invention, a compressible and expendable tube for a guide vane is generated without complex manufacturing methods. In order to provide the above-described inventive tube with the first channel and the second channel, only one fixing fabricating step for fixing the dividing wall to the tube wall is necessary, namely the fixing of the first edge to the first surface section of the tube wall.
According to a further exemplary embodiment, the first edge is brazed, welded or glued to the first surface section of the tube wall.
According to a further exemplary embodiment, the dividing wall is arranged inside the fluid channel in such a way that, if a first fluid pressure in the first channel is higher than a second fluid pressure in the second channel, the second edge is pressed against the tube wall by the fluid pressure and in particular by the differential pressure between the first fluid pressure and the second fluid pressure.
According to a further exemplary embodiment, the first surface section has a first normal, wherein the dividing wall comprises a further first surface section which has a further first normal and which comprise the first edge. An angle between the normal of the first surface section and the further normal of the further first surface section differs to 90°. In particular, the dividing wall runs from the first edge not perpendicular with respect to the first normal of first surface section of the tube wall. Hence, if a force acting parallel to the first normal of the first surface section (e.g. due to compressing of the tube), the force presses the dividing wall aside such that the second edge slides along the second surface section and the dividing wall does not prevent the compressing of the tube.
The further first surface section may define the complete surface of the dividing wall or may only be a part of the overall surface of the dividing wall. For example, the dividing wall may form an L-shaped cross-section or a U-shaped cross-section, wherein the further first surface section defines the section comprising the first edge.
Accordingly, according to a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the second surface section has a second normal, wherein the dividing wall comprises a further second surface section which comprises a second edge, wherein the further second surface section has a further second normal. The dividing wall is formed such that a further angle between the second normal of the second surface section and the further second normal of the further second surface section differs from 90°.
In particular, the dividing wall runs from the second edge not perpendicular with respect to the second normal of second surface section of the tube wall. Hence, if a force acting parallel to the second normal of the first surface section (e.g. due to compressing of the tube), the force presses the dividing wall aside such that the second edge slides along the second surface section and the dividing wall does not prevent the compressing of the tube.
According to a further exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the tube has the above-described centre axis which runs between a first tube end and a second tube end. The tube is divided along a dividing direction into a first tube part, i.e. a first tube half, and a second tube part, i.e. a second tube half. The dividing direction comprises at least a component which is parallel to the centre axis. Specifically, a dividing line between the first tube part and the second tube part runs along the length of the tube and parallel to the centre axis of the tube, respectively.
Hence, the first tube part and the second tube part may be fabricated independently from each other, wherein after fixing the first tube part with the second tube part, the tube and respectively the fluid channel are formed.
Furthermore, according to a further exemplary embodiment, the first tube part and the second tube part are welded, brazed, glued together or joined together by adding material.
According to a further exemplary embodiment, the first edge of the dividing wall is fixed to the first tube part and wherein the dividing wall is formed in such a way that the second edge resiliently abuts in a detachable manner against the second tube part such that the dividing wall divides the fluid channel into the first channel and the second channel. The first edge is fixed to the first tube part in particular before the first tube part and the second tube part are fixed together.
Accordingly, according to a further exemplary embodiment of the method, the first edge of the dividing wall is fixed to the first tube part, wherein the first tube part is fixed to the second tube part after the first edge has been fixed to the first tube part. The second edge abuts against the second tube part.
Hence, before the first tube part and the second tube part are fixed together, the dividing wall is fixed with its first edge to the first tube part. Before the first tube part and the second tube part are fixed together, the fixation of the first edge to the first tube part is easy because the first surface section is easily accessible. By the present invention, it is not necessary to apply fixation steps to the dividing wall after the first tube part is fixed to the second tube part, because a second edge of the dividing wall only resiliently abuts in a detachable manner against the second surface section. That is, that further fixation steps to the dividing wall are not necessary after the first tube part is fixed to the second tube part. Hence, it is not necessary to apply fixation steps to locations of the tube which are only hardly accessible, such as the second surface section after the first tube part is fixed to the second tube part.
Hence, a simplified and easy manufacturing of the above-described tube is achieved.
Summarizing, by the present invention, a dividing wall is arranged inside the fluid channel of the tube, wherein only one first edge is (non-detachably) fixed, e.g. by welding, to a first surface section of the tube wall. Due to the abutting of the second edge of the dividing wall at the second surface section a fluid channel is dividable into the first channel and the second channel although only the first edge is (rigidly) fixed to the first section of the tube wall.
In particular, the dividing wall, and in particular a further surface section comprising the first edge and/or a further surface section comprising the second edge, is angled relatively to the respective first and second surface section of the tube wall and are thus non-perpendicular. The dividing wall is only welded to one surface of the tube inside the fluid channel, in particular along the tubes length (i.e. along the centre axis) prior to the welding of the second tube part to the first tube part.
By the present invention, the size of the dividing wall is set and predetermined in such a way, that a width of the dividing wall between the first surface section and the second surface section of the tube is large enough such that the second edge resiliently abuts permanently against the second surface section during operation of the turbine, so that a reliable separation of the first channel to the second channel by the dividing wall is achieved.
In particular, the second edge of the turbine is located more upstream i.e. closer to the leading edge of the guide vane in comparison to the first edge.
By the above-described tube a simplified manufacturing method for the tube is achieved. The manufacturing method enables the dividing wall to be attached using a stronger welded joint (as compared to brazing). By angling the dividing wall with respect to the respective first and second normals of the respective first and second surface sections of the tube wall and by allowing the second edge to remain free from any permanently fixing means, this will achieve flexibility of the tube to enable reduced installation forces during installation of the tube into the guide vane. By setting the length and the size of the dividing wall and by welding the first edge at a more downstream location in comparison to the second edge, the dividing wall will ensure a seal between the first channel and the second channel. Furthermore, a pressure difference between fluid in the first channel and the second channel will assist to close and to press the dividing wall against the tube wall.

In particular, some embodiments have been described with reference to apparatus type claims whereas other embodiments have been described with reference to method type claims. However, a person skilled in the art will gather from the above and the following description that, unless other notified, in addition to any combination of features belonging to one type of subject matter also any combination between features relating to different subject matters, in particular between features of the apparatus type claims and features of the method type claims is considered as to be disclosed with this application.

The invention will be described in more detail hereinafter with reference to examples of embodiment but to which the invention is not limited.

Detailed Description

The illustrations in the drawings are schematically. It is noted that in different figures, similar or identical elements are provided with the same reference signs.
Fig. 1 shows a guide vane device (i.e. a dual chamber impingement guide vane device) for a turbine, wherein the guide vane device comprises a guide vane 120 and a tube 100. The tube 100 is arranged inside the inner volume 121 of the guide vane 120. The guide vane device may be particularly of a turbine section of a gas turbine, which will be in contact with a hot working fluid from the outside and particularly also in contact with a cooling fluid guided to the interior of the guide vane device.
The tube 100 may be installed into the inner volume 121 of the guide vane 120 by a press-fit connection for example. Therefore, the (elastically compressible) tube 100 may be compressed during installation into the inner volume 121 and released after placing the tube 100 into the inner volume 121, such that the tube 100 extends again into its initial position and such that the press-fit connection between the tube 100 and the guide vane 120 is achieved. Therefore, the tube 100 has to provide a low stiffness on the one side but has also to be robust enough on the other side.
The tube 100 comprises a dividing wall 110 which is arranged inside the fluid channel which is housed and surrounded by a tube wall 101 of the tube 100. The dividing wall 110 comprises a first edge 111 and a second edge 112 which is spaced apart from the first edge 111.
The first edge 111 is fixed to the first surface section of the tube wall 101, e.g. by welding.
The dividing wall 110 is formed in such a way that the second edge 112 abuts resiliently abuts against a second surface section of the tube wall 101 such that the dividing wall 110 divides the fluid channel into a first channel I and a second channel II.
Specifically, the dividing wall 110 comprises a length between the first edge 111 and the second edge 112, wherein the length is adapted such that the second edge 112 is in contact with the second surface section (and hence abuts against the second surface section) when the first edge is fixed with the first surface section. Furthermore, the dividing wall 110 is angled relative to the respective first surface section of the tube wall 101 and/or to the second surface section of the tube wall 101, respectively. In other words, the dividing wall 110 runs between the first edge 111 and the second edge 112 non-parallel with respect to a first normal n1 of the first surface section and/or with respect to a second normal n2 of the second surface section, respectively. Hence, the dividing wall 110 runs angled relative to the respective surface sections of the inner surface of the tube wall 101.
In other words, the dividing wall 110 comprises a further first surface section which comprises the first edge 111, wherein an angle α between the first normal n1 of the first surface section and the further first normal fn1 of the further first surface section differs to 90°.
Accordingly, the dividing wall 110 may comprise a further second surface section which comprises the second edge 112, wherein the dividing wall 110 is formed such that a further angle β between the second normal n2 of the second surface section and a further second normal fn2 of the further second surface section differs from 90°.
Hence, if the tube 100 is compressed during installation into the inner volume 121 of the guide vane 120, the second edge 112 slides in particular along the second surface section in an upstream direction with respect to the flow direction 124 of the working gas of the turbine.
Further, the dividing wall 110 as shown in Fig. 1 is arranged inside the fluid channel in such a way, that if a first fluid pressure p1 in the first channel I is higher than a second fluid pressure p2 in the second channel II, the second edge 112 is pressed against the tube wall 101 by the first fluid pressure p1, i.e. by the pressure difference between the first fluid pressure p1 and the second fluid pressure p2.
In particular, the second edge 112 of the dividing wall 110 is located closer to a leading edge 122 of the guide vane 120 and hence more upstream with respect to the flow direction 124 of the working gas of the turbine than the first edge 111 of the dividing wall 110. Generally, in the first channel I, which is located closer to the leading edge 122 of the guide vane 120, a higher cooling efficiency is desired and hence a higher fluid pressure p1 is generated in comparison to the second channel II, which is located more downstream with respect to the flow direction 124 of the working gas and closer to the trailing edge 123, respectively. Hence, because the first fluid pressure p1 is higher than the second fluid pressure p2 and because the second edge 112, which abuts against the second surface section, is located more upstream with respect to the first edge 111, which is fixed to the first surface section, the pressure surplus in the first channel I with respect to the second pressure p2 forces and presses the second edge 112 against the second surface section of the tube wall 101.
The fluid channel and in particular the first channel I and the second channel II comprise a respective fluid inlet and a respective fluid outlet, such that separated cooling fluids with separated cooling fluid parameters may be injected in each of the channels I, II. In particular, the respective fluid inlets and outlets are located at opposite ends of the tube 100 with respect to a centre axis 102 of the tube 100. The centre axis 102 runs generally along a radial direction with respect to a turbine shaft of the turbine.
Furthermore, the tube 100 may comprise a first turbine section 103 (i.e. a first turbine half) and a second tube part 104 (second tube half). The first tube part 103 and the second tube part 104 are divided along a dividing line 105, wherein the dividing line runs approximately parallel to the centre axis 102 and along the length of the tube, respectively. Alternatively, the dividing line 105 may only have one component which is parallel to the centre axis 102. In particular, the dividing line 105, 105' runs from one free end to an oppositely located free end with respect to the centre axis 102.
Fig. 2 shows the exemplary embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and hence comprises similar features as already explained above for Fig. 1.
Moreover, in Fig. 2, the first tube end 201 and the second tube end 202 is shown. Furthermore, it is shown that the tube wall 101 comprises a plurality of holes 203. The cooling fluid may stream from the first channel I and the second channel II into the inner volume 121. Specifically, the cooling fluid streams through the holes 203 and impinges against the inner surface of the inner wall of the guide vane 120. Hence, an impingement cooling is provided.
Furthermore, a dividing direction 204 is shown, along which the tube 100 is divided into the first tube part 103 and the second tube part 104.
Fig. 3 shows the tube 100, wherein the tube 100 comprises the first tube part 103 and the second tube part 104. Fig. 3 shows the tube before the first tube part 103 and the second tube part 104 are fixed together. As can be taken from Fig. 3, before the first tube part 103 is fixed to the second tube part 104, the dividing wall 110 may already be fixed (e.g. by welding) with its first edge 111 to the first surface section of the tube wall 101 and respectively of the first tube part 103. The dividing wall 110 is formed in such a way (with respect to its size and extension) that after the first tube part 103 is fixed (e.g. by welding) to the second tube part 104, the second edge 112 of the dividing wall 110 resiliently abuts against the second surface section of the second tube part 104.
Hence, an easy manufacturing method is achieved, because before the first tube part 103 is fixed to the second tube part 104, the dividing wall 110 can already be fixed with its first edge 111 and after the first tube part 103 is fixed to the second tube part 104 no further fixing steps are necessary.
It should be noted that the term "comprising" does not exclude other elements or steps and "a" or "an" does not exclude a plurality. Also elements described in association with different embodiments may be combined. It should also be noted that reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
