4 Claims.
This invention relates to an improved balanced turbine or pump runner and to an improved method for balancing the same.
The rotating parts of a hydraulic machine,
5 particularly a turbine, constitute a revolving mass of appreciable magnitude which must be carefully balanced to avoid destructive or excessive vibration. The possibility of vibration due to a relatively small unbalance of weight is considerably augmented by the fact that the rotating parts are generally of very large diameter. For example, it is usual to build turbine runners with diameters ranging up to 18 ft. Some of these runners weigh as high as 100 tons, and
some develop up to 84,000 horsepower per unit, at varying speeds and heads. The speed varies widely for the different units but is commonly between 100 and 200 R. P. M. It is thus seen that with factors such as these to contend with 20 in a great many installations, the problem of avoiding unbalancing centrifugal forces is one which requires very careful work. The method disclosed herein, while particularly applicable to large runners, may also be used to advantage in balancing small size runnersl In balancing a hydraulic machine runner, it is highly desirable to maintain as nearly as possible the contour of the flow surfaces in accordance with the predetermined engineering design thereof. Such a design takes into consideration such matters as the relative velocity between the fiow and the runner surfaces and the matter of cavitation of the runner blades which can be caused by an improper contour of the blade surfaces. It is also necessary to maintain the designed structural strength of the runner and turbine parts.
Heretofore various methods have been employed-for balancing runners of hydraulic machines particularly hydraulic turbine runners which tend toward massiveness. One of these methods as applied to the Francis type of runner is to fill in the crown at various points thereof until the runner is in balance. Another method which is particularly applicable to the propeller type runner as well also to the Francis runner is to remove metal from the surface of the runner blades. This method has the disadvantage that it definitely alters the predetermined flow surface of the runner blade thus providing abasis for cavitation.
It is an object of my invention to provide an improved method for balancing runners particularly those of the propeller type without adding weight to the runner as is usually done in connection with the crown of the Francis runner as above described, and without altering the predetermined design of the flow surface of the runner blades. In addition it is a further object to obtain a balanced runner without weakening the same from a structural standpoint.
In one specific aspect of the invention I have accomplished the desired degree of balance without incurring the undesirable features above mentioned, this being obtained herein by removing excess weight from the interior of the runner blades rather than from the exterior thereof as in the prior practice. Specifically this is best accomplished by gaining access to the interior of the blade through the peripheral edge thereof, for instance, as by drilling radially into the interior of the blade.
In the prior art method previously described wherein metal was removed from the surface of the blade with the consequent destruction of the perfect blade surface it is impossible for practical reasons to be able to restore the surface of the blade to its original desired contour as this would necessitate adding material to the blade at the point where metal was removed. However, in my improved method and construction, by removing a considerable amount of metal from the interior of the blade through a relatively small opening in some external part of the blade I am able to cover this opening with a relatively small amount of suitable material without negativing the balancing operation. In the specific use of the invention as applied to a propeller type runner, by removing the interior metal through the periph-- eral edge of the blade, it is seen that I not only preserve the original blade surface but also operate through a surface (the peripheral edge) which serves no function in guiding the flow over the runner blade other than to maintain clearance with the runner casing.
A most important feature of the specific aspect of the invention is that the material is removed from a point which will give maximum balancing effect with a minimum removal of material. This is accomplished due to the material being removed from the interior of the blades adjacent the periphery thereof, it being understood that the unbalancing forces are caused by centrifugal forces of unbalanced masses. The centrifugal force varies as the square of the speed and hence it is advantageous to remove the material from near the periphery where the speed is the greatest.
It is thus possible in my improved method and balanced runner to obtain all desired advantages with minimum efiort and few, if any, disadvan- 110 tages. Other objects and advantages will be more apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description of the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of an adjustable blade propeller type hydraulic turbine, parts of which are shown in elevation;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of a runner showing how my improved method of balancing is applied;
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the runner hub and one blade, viewed from its peripheral edge; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary section of a runner blade showing in section two of the interior balancing holes or chambers within the blade.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary edge view- Fig. 6 is a section on lines 6.6 of Figs. 2 and 5;
Fig. 7 is a vertical section of a Francis runner balanced in accordance with my improved method;
Fig. 8 is a' horizontal section taken on line 8-8 'of Fig. '7; and 0 Fig. 9 is a fragmentary side elevation of the runner blade and shroud band taken on line 9--9 of Fig.7.
While the hydraulic turbine used for purposes of illustration is of the adjustable blade propellertype, it will of course be understood that the invention may be applied to other types of turbines whether of the adjustable or fixed blade. The turbine shown may be considered as a conventional type for purposes of this description, and hence it need only be briefly described as comprising a runner generally indicated at 5 mounted on a shaft 6. which is supported in suitable bearings carried by a head cover 7. This head cover together with a lower distributor ring 8, throat ring 9 and a speed ring including the guide vanes 10, guide the flow to the runner from which it is discharged into a suitable draft tube herein shown as of the spreading type 11. The runner blades 12 are suitably adjusted or rigidly supported as. desired by the runner hub 13. These runner blades may be of any construction usually employed, the general characteristics of which are, that there are relatively few blades usually six or less, the blades are relatively flat in the direction of flow thereover, are inclined more nearly to the horizontal than the vertical and are relatively thin, consistent however with the necessary strengthto support the column of water flowing through the runner and to impart the necessary torque to the runner shaft.
To balance the runner the direction of unbalance will first be determined in accordance with usual procedure whereupon holes 14 will be drilled into the interior of the blades from the periphery 15. The number of holes, their diameter and the extent of drilling will be determined in accordance with the degree of unbalance while the circumferential distribution of the holes will be determined not only by the degree of unba l ance but also by the direction or directions of unbalance and the amount of material that may be safely removed from any one blade or from adjacent blades. The bending stresses of the blades are at a, minimum near the periphery of sizes and depths are used only to diagrammatie cally illustrate the invention.
.able blade type.
If desired, plugs 16 may be suitably rigidly fastened in the outer ends of the holes to close the same and thus present a smooth continuous periphery, it being understood that even though irregularities may appear in the peripheral surface still this will not affect the flow surfaces of the runner. 1,
Instead of removing metal by drilling, if pre: ferred the metal may be removed by chipping deep slots 1'7, which are covered by relatively thin rectangular plates 18, fastened in place by welding or other suitable means. Such a slot and plate are shown as applied to one of the blades in Figs. 5 and 6 in which case the slot 1'7 may be relatively long as shown in one of the blades in Fig. 2.
The invention is also applicable to a Francis runner 19, shown in Fig. 7, as by drilling holes 20 through the usual shroud ring 21 into blades 22 along the neutral axis thereof. The previously outlined advantages of my improved methed as applied to the propeller runners are equally applicable to the Francis runner. Hence there is no need for further discussion. I
It will of course be understood by those skilled 100 in the art that various changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of p the interior blade holes, while the application of the holes may be variously applied to the different, types of runners whether of the fixed or adjust- The method herein disclosed may also be varied in accordance with particular conditions without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
