Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Hitzeschildelement einer Brennkammer, insbesondere einer Ringbrennkammer einer Gasturbinenanlage, und bezieht sich auf den Bypass von Verdichterluft um die Brennkammer bei Teillast. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner eine Brennkammer und eine entsprechende Gasturbinenanlage.The invention relates to a heat shield element of a combustion chamber, in particular an annular combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant, and refers to the bypass of compressor air around the combustion chamber at partial load. The invention further relates to a combustion chamber and a corresponding gas turbine plant.
Durch das Absinken der zentralen Flammtemperatur beim Absenken der Leistung der Gasturbine erhöhen sich die Kohlenmonoxidemissionen sukzessive, bis sie ab einer gewissen Teillast die gesetzliche Emissionsgrenze überschreiten. Dadurch ergibt sich eine zulässige Mindestleistung. Es kann jedoch wichtig sein, die Maschine bei sehr tiefer Leistung bereit zu halten.By lowering the central flame temperature while lowering the power of the gas turbine, the carbon monoxide emissions increase successively until they exceed the statutory emission limit from a certain partial load. This results in a permissible minimum power. However, it can be important to keep the machine ready at very low power.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind verschiedene Ansätze bekannt, den Wirkungsgrad durch eine Steigerung der Verbrennungstemperatur anzuheben bekannt. Hierzu offenbaren die
Die gesteigerte Temperatur in der Brennkammer führt zur Forderung einer besseren Kühlung der zur Brennkammer weisenden Hitzeschildelemente. Die
Eine Möglichkeit die Flammtemperatur zu erhöhen und damit die Kohlenmonoxidemissionen zu verringern besteht darin, einen Teil der Verdichterendluft um die Verbrennung herumzuführen und vor dem Turbineneintritt dem Heißgaspfad wieder zuzuführen. Rechnungen haben gezeigt, dass diese Methode bei der Ringbrennkammer erfolgversprechend ist. Schwierig ist hierbei, dass der Bypass nur in den relevanten Leistungsbereichen aktiv sein soll, da sonst unnötig die Leistung der Gasturbine beeinflusst wird. Er muss also schaltbar sein, wobei auch bei abgeschaltetem Bypass kein Heißgas in diesen eindringen darf.One way to increase the flame temperature and thus reduce carbon monoxide emissions is to pass some of the final compressor air around the combustion and to supply the hot gas path again before the turbine entry. Calculations have shown that this method is promising in the annular combustion chamber. It is difficult here that the bypass should only be active in the relevant power ranges, since otherwise the performance of the gas turbine is unnecessarily affected. It must therefore be switchable, with no hot gas may penetrate even when the bypass is switched off.
Gegenüber dem beschriebenen Stand der Technik besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, durch Angabe eines Bypasses den kohlenmonoxidkonformen Fahrbereich der Gasturbine so weit wie möglich in Richtung geringer Leistung zu erweitern.Compared to the described prior art, the object of the present invention is to expand by specifying a bypass the carbon monoxide compliant driving range of the gas turbine as far as possible in the direction of low power.
Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine verbesserte Brennkammer zur Verfügung zu stellen. Schließlich ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine verbesserte Gasturbine zur Verfügung zu stellen.Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved combustor. Finally, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved gas turbine.
Die erste Aufgabe wird durch ein Hitzeschildelement nach Anspruch 1, die zweite Aufgabe durch eine Brennkammer nach Anspruch 6 und die dritte Aufgabe durch eine Gasturbine nach Anspruch 10 gelöst.The first object is achieved by a heat shield element according to claim 1, the second object by a combustion chamber according to
Die abhängigen Ansprüche enthalten vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The dependent claims contain advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgaben, indem sie vorsieht, dass bei einem Hitzeschildelement, insbesondere zur Auskleidung einer Brennkammerwand, umfassend eine erste Wand mit einer mit einem heißen Medium beaufschlagbaren Heißseite, einer der Heißseite gegenüberliegende Kaltseite und einem umlaufenden Rand, der sich an einer ersten, einer zweiten und einer dritten Schmalseite der ersten Wand über die Kaltseite hinaus im wesentlichen bis zu einer ersten Höhe erstreckt, sich der umlaufende Rand an einer vierten Schmalseite bis zu einer zweiten Höhe erstreckt, die kleiner als die erste Höhe ist, und dass im wesentlichen auf der zweiten Höhe eine zweite Wand der Kaltseite gegenüberliegt und sich über die Breite der vierten Schmalseite von der vierten Schmalseite ab über einen Teil der Länge der der vierten Schmalseite benachbarten Schmalseiten erstreckt, wobei die zweite Wand an ihrem der vierten Schmalseite abgewandten Ende einen Rand aufweist, der sich bis zur ersten Höhe erstreckt.The invention achieves these objects by providing that in a heat shield element, in particular for lining a combustion chamber wall, comprising a first wall with a hot side to be acted upon by a hot medium, a cold side facing the hot side and a peripheral edge located at a first, extending a second and a third narrow side of the first wall beyond the cold side substantially to a first height, the peripheral edge extends on a fourth narrow side to a second height which is smaller than the first height, and that substantially the second height is opposite to a second wall of the cold side and extends across the width of the fourth narrow side from the fourth narrow side over a portion of the length of the narrow side adjacent the fourth narrow side, wherein the second wall has an edge at its end facing away from the fourth narrow side, which he himself up to the first height treckt.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem Gedanken, dass bei einer Ringbrennkammer, die größtenteils mit keramischen Hitzeschildelementen ausgekleidet ist und nur der Einlauf in die Turbine mit metallischen Hitzeschildelementen ausgekleidet ist, die Zuführung der Bypassluft im Bereich der metallischen Hitzeschildelemente der Brennkammerwand geschehen soll, da die Zuführung möglichst weit hinter der Verbrennung, um eine Kühlung der Flamme zu verhindern, aber vor der Turbine, um einen möglichst hohen Gasturbinenwirkungsgrad zu erreichen, erfolgen soll. Dazu wird ein neues Design der metallischen Hitzeschildelemente benötigt. Dieses Design ist Gegenstand dieser Erfindungsmeldung.The invention is based on the idea that in an annular combustion chamber, which is largely lined with ceramic heat shield elements and only the inlet into the turbine is lined with metallic heat shield elements, the supply of the bypass air in the metallic heat shield elements of the combustion chamber wall should be done because the supply as possible far behind the combustion to prevent the flame from cooling but before the turbine to maximize gas turbine efficiency should. For this purpose, a new design of the metallic heat shield elements is needed. This design is the subject of this invention.
Das Hitzeschildelement wird in zwei übereinander liegende Bereiche unterteilt, die gegeneinander dicht sind und die im eingebauten Zustand, d.h. mit der Brennkammerwand, Kammern bilden. Eine erste Kammer erstreckt sich über die komplette Fläche des Hitzeschildelements und wird zur normalen Kühlung des metallischen Hitzeschildes genutzt.The heat shield element is subdivided into two superimposed areas, which are sealed against each other and which in the installed state, i. with the combustion chamber wall, forming chambers. A first chamber extends over the entire surface of the heat shield element and is used for normal cooling of the metallic heat shield.
Eine zweite Kammer befindet sich im der Turbine zugewandten Teil des Hitzeschildelements über der ersten Kammer.A second chamber is located in the turbine facing portion of the heat shield element above the first chamber.
Vorteilhafter Weise besteht das Hitzeschildelement aus einem hochtemperaturbeständigen Metall oder einer hochtemperaturbeständigen Metalllegierung, da diese Materialien eine geringere Sprödigkeit als beispielsweise Keramik und ein vergleichsweise gutes Wärme- und Temperaturleitverhalten aufweisen.Advantageously, the heat shield element consists of a high-temperature-resistant metal or a high-temperature-resistant metal alloy, since these materials have a lower brittleness than, for example, ceramics and a comparatively good thermal and thermal conductivity behavior.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist eine Mehrzahl von im umlaufenden Rand angeordneten Kühlluftöffnungen vorgesehen, aus denen die zur Kühlung des Hitzeschildelements vorgesehene Verdichterendluft in die Brennkammer entweichen kann.In an advantageous embodiment, a plurality of cooling air openings arranged in the peripheral edge are provided, from which the compressor end air provided for cooling the heat shield element can escape into the combustion chamber.
Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Kühlluftöffnungen zumindest im Bereich der zweiten Wand zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Wand angeordnet sind. Somit befinden sich die Kühlöffnungen im Bereich der ersten Kammer für die Kühlung des Hitzeschildelements.It is expedient if the cooling air openings are arranged at least in the region of the second wall between the first and the second wall. Thus, the cooling holes are in the region of the first chamber for the cooling of the heat shield element.
Vorteilhafter Weise umfasst das Hitzeschildelement weiterhin eine Befestigungsöffnung, deren Einfassung sich von der ersten Wand bis zur ersten Höhe erstreckt. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass die beiden Kammern gegeneinander dicht sind und keine Luft durch für die zur Befestigung des Hitzeschildelements benötigte Öffnung von der einen Kammer in die andere Kammer strömen kann.Advantageously, the heat shield element further comprises a mounting opening, the enclosure of which extends from the first wall to the first height. Thus, it is ensured that the two chambers are sealed against each other and no air can flow through from the one chamber into the other chamber for the required for attachment of the heat shield element opening.
Das Hitzeschildelement wird zum Schutz vor Überhitzungen einer heißgasführenden Komponente benutzt, insbesondere einer Brennkammer, vorzugsweise einer ringförmigen Brennkammer einer Gasturbine, die eine Brennkammerwand aufweist, mit einem brennerseitigen und einem turbinenseitigen Ende, wobei die Brennkammerwand eine Umfangsrichtung aufweist. Eine Anzahl von Hitzeschildelementen ist dabei vorzugsweise am turbinenseitigen Ende der Brennkammerwand unter Bildung von je zwei Kammern in Umfangsrichtung angeordnet, wobei die vierte Schmalseite zum turbinenseitigen Ende hin ausgerichtet ist.The heat shield element is used for protection against overheating of a component carrying hot gas, in particular a combustion chamber, preferably an annular combustion chamber of a gas turbine having a combustion chamber wall, with a burner side and a turbine side end, wherein the combustion chamber wall has a circumferential direction. A number of heat shield elements is preferably arranged at the turbine-side end of the combustion chamber wall with the formation of two chambers in the circumferential direction, wherein the fourth narrow side is aligned towards the turbine end.
Die Hitzeschildelemente sind dabei bevorzugt mit Befestigungsbolzen an der Brennkammerwand befestigt.The heat shield elements are preferably fastened with fastening bolts on the combustion chamber wall.
Bevorzugtermaßen sind in der Brennkammerwand Bohrungen eingebracht, so dass Kühlmittel den Hitzeschildelementen zuführbar ist.Preferably, bores are introduced in the combustion chamber wall so that coolant can be supplied to the heat shield elements.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Brennkammer ist in der Brennkammerwand mindestens ein Zufuhrkanal je Hitzeschildelement im Bereich der jeweils zweiten Wand angeordnet, der in ein zumindest teilweise um die Brennkammer umlaufendes Plenum einmündet.In a preferred embodiment of the combustion chamber, at least one supply channel per heat shield element is arranged in the region of the respective second wall in the combustion chamber wall, which opens into a plenum which at least partially surrounds the combustion chamber.
Die Brennkammer, an der Hitzeschildelemente angebracht sind, ist bevorzugtermaßen Teil einer Gasturbine. Diese Gasturbine umfasst mindestens eine Entnahme für Verdichterluft, die über mindestens eine Leitung mit einem Ventil in das Plenum mündet.The combustion chamber to which heat shield elements are attached is preferably part of a gas turbine. This gas turbine comprises at least one discharge for compressor air, which opens via at least one line with a valve in the plenum.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht die Zufuhr von Bypassluft in den Heißgaspfad ohne weitreichende Modifikationen an heißgasführenden Bauteilen. Die Umsetzung wird daher vermutlich vergleichsweise kostengünstig sein. Es wird gewährleistet, dass auch bei abgeschaltetem Bypass kein Heißgas eingezogen wird, da die zweite Kammer ständig gespült wird und ihr Austritt strömungsgünstig zwischen Hitzeschildelement und Turbinenleitschaufel 1 liegt.The invention enables the supply of bypass air in the hot gas path without far-reaching modifications to hot gas components. The implementation will therefore probably be relatively inexpensive. It ensures that no hot gas is drawn in even when the bypass is switched off, since the second chamber is constantly purged and its outlet streamlined between heat shield element and turbine vane 1 is located.
