Abstract
A steam turbine (10), especially in the form of a double-flow low-pressure steam turbine, includes a rotor (11) which is rotatably mounted around an axis (21) and which is concentrically enclosed with a spacing by an inner casing (13), forming annular steam passages (28, 29), and which has a multiplicity of rotor blades (12) which project into the steam passages (28, 29), wherein the inner casing (13) supports a multiplicity of stator blades (12) which project into the steam passages (28, 29) and which, for feeding steam to the steam passages (28, 29), has an inlet duct (15) which is directed around the axis (21) and tapers in the flow cross section. With such a steam turbine, the production is simplified by the inner casing (13) being formed as a welded construction, in which blade carriers (14), which delimit the steam passages (28, 29) and are produced as cast parts, are welded to additional forged or rolled steel elements (20) for fastening the stator blades (12′).
Description
- This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to Swiss application No. 00349/07, filed 2 Mar. 2007, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of thermal machines, and more particularly to a steam turbine.
- 2. Brief Description of the Related Art
- With large steam turbosets, as are described, for example, in the article by L. Busse et al., “World's highest capacity steam turbosets for the lignite-fired Lippendorf power station”, ABB review 6/1997, p. 13-22 (1997), and are shown in
FIG. 2 there, double-flow low-pressure steam turbines are used, in which the steam is fed radially via a central scroll-shaped inlet duct, and then flows out in both directions through the steam passages which are formed between the rotor and the concentric inner casing, and, expanding on the rotor blades of the rotor, performs work. The inlet scroll is integrated into the inner casing, as well as a plurality of steam extraction chambers into which steam, at a specified pressure, can flow from the steam passages through openings in the inner casing, and be extracted. Furthermore, the inner casing, on the sides which delimit the steam passages, serves as a carrier for a multiplicity of fixed stator blades which project into the steam passages. - With the known low-pressure steam turbines, the inner casing, with the inlet scroll and the steam extraction chambers, is divided along a horizontal parting plane into an upper half and a lower half. The two halves are produced in each case as one-piece cast parts, preferably from nodular cast iron. This technique allows the production of large castings with complicated shape (with inlet scroll, steam extraction chambers and exhaust diffuser) at low cost. The stator blade carriers in this case are integrated into the inner casing.
- With this solution, it is disadvantageous that such casings are very difficult to produce. The number of manufacturers, therefore, is limited and problems frequently occur. Also, it is difficult to repair such castings if problems occur during casting or during the subsequent machining.
- In the past, it has already been proposed (U.S. Pat. No. 1,483,995) to assemble a separate scroll casing for a turbine or pump from one or more central cast parts, which form a central stator blade ring, and plate-like steel elements, which, connected in an overlapping manner, form the scroll casing with the inlet opening. The parts of the device (the rotor) which are equipped with rotor blades, are not enclosed by this casing. In particular, is it also not apparent how the associated stator blades are to be fastened on a casing which encloses the rotor.
- A low-pressure turbine section, which is designed in a multi-shell, entirely welded construction, is known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,594,095. A scroll-shaped inlet duct in this case is not provided.
- One of numerous aspects of the invention, therefore, includes creating a steam turbine which addresses the disadvantages of known steam turbines and which, in particular, includes an inner casing which can be more easily and more cost-effectively produced.
- According to another, particularly advantageous aspect of the invention, the inner casing is formed as a welded construction, in which the blade carriers, for fastening the stator blades, which blade carriers delimit the steam passages and are produced as castings, are supported by additional forged or rolled steel elements. Since the cast parts with this solution are limited to the blade carriers and, therefore, are formed in a smaller and less complicated manner, fewer fabrication and repair problems result. At the same time, radial and axial deformations of the blade carriers are less than with an integrated cast casing, so that narrower gaps at the blade tips, and therefore higher efficiency of the turbine, are possible.
- According to another aspect of the invention, the inlet duct, which tapers in the flow cross section, is formed as an inlet scroll.
- Another aspect includes a plurality of steam extraction chambers formed in the inner casing, and the steam extraction chambers are formed or delimited by the blade carriers and the steel elements which are welded to them.
- A further aspect of the invention includes that support rings, which are arranged concentrically to the axis with axial spacing and which support the blade carriers on their rear side, are provided for stiffening the inner casing, tie rods are provided between the support rings for absorbing transverse forces, and the steel elements are welded to the support rings.
- The tie rods can especially be welded or screwed to the support rings.
- Furthermore, it is conceivable and advantageous that at least one radial guide vane is arranged in the inlet duct.
- According to yet another aspect, the blade carriers consist of nodular cast iron or cast steel.
- The invention is to be subsequently explained in more detail based on exemplary embodiments in conjunction with the drawing. In the drawing:
-
FIG. 1 shows, in longitudinal section, a double-flow low-pressure steam turbine with its inner casing according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, and -
FIG. 2 shows the section along the center plane II-II inFIG. 1 . - In
FIG. 1 , a double-flow low-pressure steam turbine, with its inner casing according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, is represented in longitudinal section.FIG. 2 shows the section of this turbine in the center plane (plane II-II inFIG. 1 ). Thesteam turbine 10 is constructed with its two flows mirror-symmetrical to avertical center plane 30. It includes arotor 11, which is rotatable around ahorizontal axis 21 and concentrically enclosed with a spacing by aninner casing 13. Outwards wideningannular steam passages rotor blades 12 which are fastened on therotor 11, performs work. - Rows of
fixed stator blades 12′, which are fastened onblade carriers 14 on the root side, alternate with the rows ofrotor blades 12. Theblade carriers 14 are cast parts and preferably are formed of nodular cast iron or cast steel. They are a part of theinner casing 13 and form the boundary walls for thesteam passages inner casing 13 is altogether formed as a welded construction, in which theblade carriers 14 are supported on the outside in an axially movable manner by forged or rolledsteel elements 20, and are sealed by sealing elements. The welded plate-form steel elements 20 not only form a scroll-shaped inlet duct or an inlet scroll 15 in the central section of the steam turbine, but also form a plurality ofsteam extraction chambers 16 on the two sides of thecenter plane 30. - The
steel elements 20 do not bear directly on theblade carriers 14, but bear viasupport rings 18, which are arranged concentrically to theaxis 21 with axial spacing for stiffening theinner casing 13.Tie rods 17, which by their ends are fastened on thesupport rings 18, especially screwed or welded, are provided between thesupport rings 18 for absorbing transverse forces. - The scroll-
shaped inlet duct 15 is delimited on the outside by ascroll casing 24 which (on account of the splitting of theinner casing 13 in the parting plane 25) is constructed from simple steel plates. At least oneradial guide vane 19, which serves for deflection of the steam which flows in through thesteam inlet 23, is arranged in theinlet duct 15. - The
inner casing 13 is split in thehorizontal parting plane 25. As well as theouter casing 26, it is supported by asupport construction 27 which lies beneath it and which in turn bears upon theouter casing 22. - By the combination according to the invention of cast blade carriers and forged or rolled steel plates or steel elements which are welded to them for forming the inner casing, which is provided with an integrated inlet scroll and with integrated steam extraction chambers, significant simplifications and facilitations result during production of the casing, without the mechanical and thermal characteristics being disadvantageously altered.
