Definitions

  • the present application and the resultant patent relate generally to axial flow turbines of any type and more particularly relate to a steam turbine including a number of rotor blades.
  • steam turbines and the like may have a defined steam path that includes a steam inlet, a turbine section, and a steam outlet.
  • Steam leakage either out of the steam path, or into the steam path from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, may adversely affect the operating efficiency of the steam turbine.
  • steam path leakage in the steam turbine between a rotating shaft and a circumferentially surrounding turbine casing may lower the overall efficiency of the steam turbine
  • Steam may generally flow through a number of turbine stages typically disposed in series through first-stage guide vanes and blades (or nozzles and buckets) and subsequently through guide vanes and blades of later stages of the turbine.
  • the guide vanes may direct the steam toward the respective blades, causing the blades to rotate and drive a load, such as an electrical generator and the like.
  • the steam may be contained by circumferential shrouds surrounding the blades, which also may aid in directing the steam or combustion gases along the path.
  • the turbine guide vanes, blades, and shrouds may be subjected to high temperatures resulting from the steam, which may result in the formation of hot spots and high thermal stresses in these components. Because the efficiency of a steam turbine is dependent on its operating temperatures, there is an ongoing demand for components positioned along the steam or hot gas path to be capable of withstanding increasingly higher temperatures without failure or decrease in useful life.
  • US 2010/284801 A1 discloses a blade of a turbomachine, especially of a high pressure steam turbine, which is characterized in that the chord length in the middle region of the blade airfoil is shorter than the chord lengths in the tip-side region or root-side region of the blade airfoil.
  • US 2008/206065 A1 discloses a turbine bucket for a low-pressure turbine final stage that can make centrifugal stress acting on a blade or dovetail not greater than a limit value of a material and that is provided with a shape of a blade root that can ensure a steam passage even if the blade is increased in length in order to increase an exhaust area.
  • US 5 277 549 A discloses a controlled reaction blade for use in the second from last stage of a low pressure steam turbine that provides high performance by use of an airfoil shape that maintains the steam velocity at relatively low values, ensures that the steam does not decelerate too rapidly as it expands toward the trailing edge, and that controls the reaction so as to produce a radial reaction distribution that tends to minimize secondary flow at the base of the airfoil and steam leakage at the tip. It specifies a great number of various parameters for different portions of such an airfoil shape. It also describes that a back surface deflection angle, also called suction surface turning angle, is maintained below 16° at the base of the airfoil and below 9° at the tip to ensure that boundary layer separation does not occur in the trailing edge region.
  • a back surface deflection angle also called suction surface turning angle
  • Certain turbine blades may be formed with an airfoil geometry.
  • the airfoils may be attached to tips and roots, where the roots are used to couple an airfoil to a disc or drum.
  • the turbine airfoil geometry and dimensions may result in certain profile losses, secondary losses, leakage losses, mixing losses, etc. that may adversely affect efficiency and/or performance of a steam turbine.
  • the present invention provides a steam turbine including a number of rotor blades as claimed in independent claim 1. Especially preferred embodiments of the present invention are subject-matter of the dependent claims.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example of a steam turbine 10.
  • the steam turbine 10 includes a high pressure section 15 and an intermediate pressure section 20.
  • An outer shell or casing 25 may be divided axially into an upper half section 30 and a lower half section 35.
  • a central section 40 of the casing 25 may include a high pressure steam inlet 45 and an intermediate pressure steam inlet 50.
  • the high pressure section 15 and the intermediate pressure section 20 may be arranged about a rotor or disc 55.
  • the disc 55 may be supported by a number of bearings 60.
  • a steam seal unit 65 may be located inboard of each of the bearings 60.
  • An annular section divider 70 may extend radially inward from the central section 40 towards the disc.
  • the divider 70 may include a number of packing casings 75. Other components and other configurations may be used.
  • the high pressure steam inlet 45 receives high pressure steam from a steam source.
  • the steam may be routed through the high pressure section 15 such that work is extracted from the steam by rotation of the disc 55.
  • the steam exits the high pressure section 15 and then may be returned to the steam source for reheating.
  • the reheated steam then may be rerouted to the intermediate pressure section inlet 50.
  • the steam may be returned to the intermediate pressure section 20 at a reduced pressure as compared to the steam entering the high pressure section 15 but at a temperature that is approximately equal to the temperature of the steam entering the high pressure section 15.
  • an operating pressure within the high pressure section 15 may be higher than an operating pressure within the intermediary section 20 such that the steam within the high pressure section 15 tends to flow towards the intermediate section 20 through leakage paths that may develop between the high pressure 15 and the intermediate pressure section 20.
  • One such leakage path may extend through the packing casing 75 about the disc shaft 55. Other leaks may develop across the steam seal unit 65 and elsewhere.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of a portion of the steam turbine turbine 10 including a number of stages 52 positioned in a steam or hot gas path 54 of the steam turbine 10.
  • a first stage 56 may include a number of circumferentially-spaced first-stage guide vanes 58 and a number of circumferentially-spaced first-stage rotor blades 60.
  • the first stage 56 also may include a first-stage shroud 62 extending circumferentially and surrounding the first-stage rotor blades 60.
  • the first-stage shroud 62 may include a number of shroud segments positioned adjacent one another in an annular arrangement.
  • a second stage 64 may include a number of second-stage guide vanes 66, a number of second-stage rotor blades 68, and a second-stage shroud 70 surrounding the second-stage rotor blades 68. Any number of stages and corresponding guide vanes and rotor blades may be included. Other embodiments may have different configurations.
  • FIG. 3 depicts a turbine rotor blade or bucket 80 as may be used in one of the stages 52 of the turbine 10.
  • the bucket 80 may be used in the second stage 64 or a later stage of the turbine 10.
  • the turbine bucket 80 may include an airfoil 82, a dovetail or root 84, and a platform 86 disposed between the airfoil 82 and the root 84.
  • a number of the rotor blades or buckets 80 may be arranged in a circumferential array within the stage 52 of the turbine 10. In this manner, the airfoil 82 of each bucket 80 may extend radially with respect to a central axis of the turbine 10, while the platform 86 of each bucket 80 extends circumferentially with respect to the central axis of the turbine 10.
  • the airfoil 82 may extend radially outward from the root 84 to an optional tip shroud 88 positioned about a tip end 90 of the bucket 80.
  • the tip shroud 88 may be integrally formed with the airfoil 82.
  • the root 84 may extend radially inward from the platform 86 to a root end 92 of the bucket 80, such that the platform 86 generally defines an interface between the airfoil 82 and the root 84.
  • the platform 86 may be formed so as to extend generally parallel to the central axis of the turbine 10 during operation thereof.
  • the root 84 may be formed to define a root structure, such as a dovetail, configured to secure the bucket 80 to a turbine disc or drum of the turbine 10.
  • the flow of steam or combustion gases 35 travels along the steam or hot gas path 54 and over the platform 86, which along with an outer circumference of the turbine disc forms the radially inner boundary of the steam or hot gas path 54. Accordingly, the flow of steam or combustion gases 35 is directed against the airfoil 82 of the bucket 80, and thus the surfaces of the airfoil 82 are subjected to very high temperatures.
