Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dampfturbinenanlage mit einer Dampfturbine, die einen Dampfeinlassbereich, einen Abdampfbereich und einen von einem Turbinengehäuse umgebenen axial dazwischen angeordneten Beschaufelungsbereich sowie mit einer Saugeinrichtung zur Absaugung von Kühlfluid aus dem Turbinengehäuse, wobei zumindest ein durch ein Verschlussorgan verschließbarer und freigebbarer Kühlfluideinlass vorgesehen ist, der stromauf des Abdampfbereiches - bezogen auf die Strömungsrichtung von bei einem normalen Leistungsbetrieb durch das Turbinengehäuse strömenden Aktionsdampfes - angeordnet ist und durch den Kühlfluid zur Abkühlung nach einer Lastabschaltung auf eine Temperatur unterhalb der Betriebstemperatur in das Turbinengehäuse einführbar ist, wobei die Dampfturbinenanlage ferner ein Ventil umfasst, durch das das Kühlfluid strömt, wobei das Ventil eine Entwässerungseinrichtung zum Entwässern des Ventils aufweist, wobei die Entwässerungseinrichtung eine Entwässerungsleitung umfasst.The invention relates to a steam turbine plant having a steam turbine, which has a steam inlet region, an exhaust steam region and an axially interposed Beschaufelungsbereich and with a suction device for extracting cooling fluid from the turbine housing, wherein at least one closable by a closure member and releasable cooling fluid inlet is provided the upstream of the Abdampfbereiches - based on the flow direction of flowing in a normal power operation through the turbine housing action steam - is arranged and can be introduced by the cooling fluid for cooling after a load shutdown to a temperature below the operating temperature in the turbine housing, wherein the steam turbine plant further comprises a valve through which the cooling fluid flows, the valve having a drainage device for draining the valve, wherein the drainage device is a drainage L includes.
In einer Dampfturbine, insbesondere einer Hochdruckturbine oder einer Mitteldruckturbine mit vorgeschalteter Zwischenüberhitzung, treten während eines Leistungsbetriebs Temperaturen von über 500°C auf. Während eines solchen Leistungsbetriebs, der einige Wochen oder Monate dauern kann, werden das Turbinengehäuse sowie der Turbinenläufer und andere Turbinenkomponenten, wie Frischdampfventil, Schnellschlussventil, Turbinenschaufel usw. auf eine hohe Temperatur aufgeheizt. Nach Abschalten der gesamten Dampfturbinenanlage kann der Turbinenläufer einer Turbine mit verminderter Drehzahl mittels einer Dreheinrichtung über eine vorgegebene Zeitdauer hinweg weitergedreht und die Dampfatmosphäre über eine Evakuierungseinrichtung evakuiert werden. Um möglichst frühzeitig nach Abschalten der Dampfturbine Wartungs- oder Kontrollarbeiten sowie gegebenenfalls Nachrüstarbeiten durchführen zu können, kann es unter Umständen wünschenswert sein, die Dampfturbine unter Einhaltung vorgegebener Grenzen für auftretende Dehnungsunterschiede zwischen Turbinenläufer und beispielsweise Turbinengehäuse möglichst schnell abzukühlen.In a steam turbine, in particular a high-pressure turbine or a medium-pressure turbine with upstream reheat, occur during a power operation temperatures of about 500 ° C. During such a power operation, which may take several weeks or months, the turbine housing and the turbine runner and other turbine components, such as live steam valve, trip valve, turbine blade, etc., are heated to a high temperature. After switching off the entire steam turbine plant, the turbine rotor of a turbine with a reduced rotational speed can be further rotated by means of a rotating device for a predetermined period of time and the vapor atmosphere can be evacuated via an evacuation device. To perform as early as possible after switching off the steam turbine maintenance or inspection work and, if necessary, retrofitting may, it may be desirable to cool the steam turbine as quickly as possible while adhering to predetermined limits for occurring differences in expansion between turbine rotor and turbine housing, for example.
Dazu hat es sich bewährt, eine so genannte Zwangsabkühlung (forced cooling) in Betrieb zu nehmen. Dabei wird über eine Saugeinrichtung und einer Lufteinleitung ein Kühlfluid durch die Dampfturbine geströmt und dadurch eine Zwangsabkühlung erreicht. Hierbei wird folgendermaßen vorgegangen: Im Falle der Zwangsabkühlung wird der Abdampfbereich mit einer Saugeinrichtung strömungstechnisch gekoppelt und am Frischdampfventil wird über ein Plug bzw. eine kleine Gehäuseöffnung die Kühlfluidzufuhr ermöglicht. Das Entfernen des Plugs oder die Erstellung einer kleinen Gehäuseöffnung ist vergleichsweise umständlich und erfordert viel Zeit. Darüber hinaus muss ein Frischdampfventil bauartbedingt eine entsprechend kleine Öffnung besitzen. Des Weiteren ist ein Spezialwerkzeug zum Lösen des Plugs oder der kleinen Gehäuseöffnung erforderlich. Ein Verfahren zur Kühlung einer Dampfturbine ist zum Beispiel aus der
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch Dampfturbinenanlage mit einer Dampfturbine, die einen Dampfeinlassbereich, einen Abdampfbereich und einen von einem Turbinengehäuse umgebenen axial dazwischen angeordneten Beschaufelungsbereich aufweist, ferner mit einer Saugeinrichtung zur Absaugung von Kühlfluid aus dem Turbinengehäuse ausgebildet ist, wobei zumindest ein durch ein Verschlussorgan verschließbarer und freigebbarer Kühlfluideinlass vorgesehen ist, der stromauf des Abdampfbereiches - bezogen auf die Strömungsrichtung von bei einem normalen Leistungsbetrieb durch das Turbinengehäuse strömenden Aktionsdampfes - angeordnet ist und durch den Kühlfluid zur Abkühlung nach einer Lastabschaltung auf eine Temperatur unterhalb der Betriebstemperatur in das Turbinengehäuse einführbar ist, wobei die Dampfturbinenanlage ferner umfasst ein Ventil durch das das Kühlfluid strömt, wobei das Ventil eine Entwässerungseinrichtung zum Entwässern des Ventils aufweist, wobei die Entwässerungseinrichtung eine Entwässerungsleitung umfasst, wobei die Entwässerungseinrichtung eine Abzweigung aufweist, die strömungstechnisch mit dem Kühlfluideinlass verbunden ist.This object is achieved by a steam turbine plant having a steam turbine which has a steam inlet region, an exhaust steam region and an axially interposed blading area, which is further formed with a suction device for extracting cooling fluid from the turbine housing, wherein at least one closable by a closure member and a releasable cooling fluid inlet is provided, which is upstream of the Abdampfbereiches - based on the flow direction of flowing in a normal power operation through the turbine housing action steam - and is introduced by the cooling fluid for cooling after a load shutdown to a temperature below the operating temperature in the turbine housing, wherein the Steam turbine plant further comprises a A valve through which the cooling fluid flows, the valve having drainage means for draining the valve, the drainage means comprising a drainage conduit, the drainage means having a branch fluidly connected to the cooling fluid inlet.
Des Weiteren wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch ein Verfahren zum Abkühlen einer Dampfturbine mit einem Turbinengehäuse bei dem nach Lastabschaltung ein Kühlfluideinlass strömungstechnisch mit dem Turbinengehäuse verbunden wird und durch den Kühlfluideinlass einströmendes Kühlfluid, insbesondere Luft, mittels einer Saugeinrichtung unter Wärmeaufnahme durch das Turbinengehäuse in Richtung des bei normalem Leistungsbetrieb durch die Dampfturbine strömenden Aktionsdampfes geführt wird, wobei das Kühlfluid durch ein Ventil strömt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Ventil eine Entwässerungseinrichtung aufweist, durch die das Kühlfluid strömt.Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for cooling a steam turbine with a turbine housing in which a cooling fluid inlet is fluidly connected to the turbine housing after load shutdown and flowing through the cooling fluid inlet cooling fluid, in particular air, by means of a suction device with heat absorption through the turbine housing in the direction of normal power operation is performed by the steam turbine flowing action steam, wherein the cooling fluid flows through a valve, characterized in that the valve has a dewatering device through which the cooling fluid flows.
Die Erfindung schlägt somit den Weg ein, die Zufuhr von Luft nicht über den Plug oder die kleine Gehäuseöffnung, sondern über einen absperrbaren Zusatzanschluss an der Entwässerungsleitung zu realisieren. Entwässerungsleitungen sind üblicherweise an einem geodätisch niedrigen Punkt des Ventils angeordnet, wobei die meisten Ventile solch eine Entwässerungsleitung aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß wird nunmehr vorgeschlagen, einen separaten Abzweig an der Entwässerung des Ventils anzuordnen und über diesen Abzweig die Kühlluftzufuhr zu ermöglichen.The invention thus proposes the way to realize the supply of air not via the plug or the small housing opening, but via a lockable additional connection to the drainage pipe. Drainage lines are usually located at a geodetically low point of the valve, with most valves having such a drainage line. According to the invention, it is now proposed to arrange a separate branch on the drainage of the valve and to enable the cooling air supply via this branch.
Das umständliche Entfernen des Plugs oder das Herstellen einer kleinen Gehäuseöffnung am Ventil entfällt daher gänzlich. Darüber hinaus ist kein Spezialwerkzeug zum Lösen des Plugs erforderlich.The cumbersome removal of the plug or the creation of a small housing opening on the valve is therefore completely eliminated. In addition, no special tool for releasing the plug is required.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments are specified in the subclaims.
So wird in einer ersten vorteilhaften Weiterbildung über die Abzweigung eine Kühlfluidleitung angeschlossen, durch die das Kühlfluid strömt und über die Saugeinrichtung durch die Dampfturbine gesaugt wird und zu einer wirksamen Abkühlung führt.Thus, in a first advantageous development, a cooling fluid line is connected via the branch, through which the cooling fluid flows and is sucked through the steam turbine via the suction device and leads to effective cooling.
Vorteilhafterweise wird in der Kühlfluidleitung das Verschlussorgan angeordnet, wobei vorteilhafterweise ein zweites Verschlussorgan in der Kühlfluidleitung angeordnet ist.Advantageously, the closure member is arranged in the cooling fluid conduit, wherein advantageously a second closure member is arranged in the cooling fluid conduit.
Zwischen dem ersten Verschlussorgan und dem zweiten Verschlussorgan der Kühlfluidleitung ist eine zweite Abzweigung angeordnet, wobei die zweite Abzweigung strömungstechnisch mit einer zweiten Entwässerungsleitung verbunden ist und in dieser zweiten Entwässerungsleitung eine zweite Entwässerungseinheit oder ein Kondensomat zum Entwässern des Kühlfluids angeordnet ist.A second branch is arranged between the first closure element and the second closure element of the cooling fluid line, wherein the second branch is fluidically connected to a second drainage line and a second drainage unit or a condensate for draining the cooling fluid is arranged in this second drainage line.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die zweite Entwässerungsleitung strömungstechnisch mit einem Kondensator verbunden. Somit wird das anfallende Wasser im Kondensomat wirkungsvoll abgeleitet.Advantageously, the second drainage line is fluidically connected to a condenser. Thus, the accumulating water is effectively dissipated in the condensate.
