Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for warming-up a steam turbine which comprises an intermediate-pressure turbine section and/or low-pressure turbine section, wherein the intermediate-pressure turbine section on the outlet side has an accumulating device.
- a steam turbine is also referred to as a turbomachine.
- Water turbines, steam and gas turbines, wind wheels, centrifugal pumps and centrifugal compressors and also propellers, are brought together under the collective term of turbomachines. Common to all these machines is that they serve for the purpose of extracting energy from a fluid in order to drive another machine with it, or vice versa to supply energy to a fluid in order to increase its pressure.
- the aforementioned temperature and pressure specifications are only reference values.
- Turbine sections, which are designed for higher temperatures and for higher pressures, can also be referred to as high-pressure turbine sections.
- An intermediate-pressure turbine section is customarily exposed to admission of superheated steam which has a temperature of 600° C. and a pressure of about 140 bar.
- a low-pressure turbine section is customarily exposed to admission of steam which issues from the intermediate-pressure turbine section.
- the steam which issues from the low-pressure turbine section is finally collected in a condenser and converted into water again.
- the steam which issues from the high-pressure turbine section is heated in a reheater and is fed into the intermediate-pressure turbine section.
- the turbine shafts of intermediate-pressure turbine sections are customarily run up against a vacuum. That means, a comparatively low pressure prevails on the outlet side of the intermediate-pressure turbine section. For this reason, the saturation temperature and the density of the throughflowing steam in the intermediate-pressure turbine section is low. Consequently, the heat yield to the shaft by means of the steam is low, which leads to a delay when prewarming an intermediate-pressure turbine section. Consequently, the starting time of the steam turbine is altogether extended. A starting time which is too long is considered to be an impairment.
- the object is achieved by means of a method for warming-up a steam turbine which comprises an intermediate-pressure turbine section and/or low-pressure turbine section, wherein the intermediate-pressure turbine section on the outlet side has an accumulating device, wherein during a starting process steam which flows through the intermediate-pressure turbine section is accumulated at an outlet by means of the accumulating device in such a way that the pressure of the steam in the intermediate-pressure turbine section is increased in such a way that the saturation temperature of the steam is increased.
- the invention is based inter alia upon the aspect that by means of a controlled accumulating of the steam flow at the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine section during the starting process of the steam turbine, the pressure is increased. For example, by means of closing a flap the pressure at the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine section is increased. Increasing the pressure leads to the saturation temperature of the steam being increased.
- the heat transfer values are particularly high in the case of saturated steam. These heat transfer values are higher than in the case of convective warming-up. Therefore, the temperature of the steam in the case of saturation is decisive for the heat yield to the shaft.
- the temperature without the accumulating according to the invention is at about80° C. and about 0.5 bar.
- the starting process of a steam turbine can be shortened during a cold start by up to an hour.
- the accumulating device is arranged in the overflow line.
- the overflow line in this case is a line which fluidically connects the outlet of the intermediate-pressure turbine section to the inlet of a low-pressure turbine section.
- the accumulating device is formed with controllability.
- a steam mass flow which flows discontinuously into the intermediate-pressure turbine section, could be varied by means of the controllable accumulating device in such a way that the heat yield to the thick-walled components of the intermediate-pressure turbine section occurs at the same time.
- the temperature, the pressure and/or the steam mass flow could be used as input values for controlling the accumulating device.
- the accumulating device is formed as a pivotable flap.
- the forming of a pivotable flap is a comparatively inexpensive measure with which the desired effect, specifically the accumulating of steam, is achieved.
- the steam on the outlet side of the intermediate-pressure turbine section is accumulated to pressure values of between 3 and 5 bar, and temperature values of between 130° C. and 150° C.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of an intermediate-pressure turbine section and a low-pressure turbine section.
- FIG. 1 a schematic representation of a steam turbine 8 is shown.
- a steam turbine can comprise a high-pressure turbine section, intermediate-pressure turbine section and/or a low-pressure turbine section.
- the steam turbine which is shown in the figure comprises an intermediate-pressure and a low-pressure turbine section.
- live steam flows into a high-pressure turbine section, which is not shown in the figure, and is expanded there, and cooled down to a lower temperature.
- This expanded and cooled-down steam is heated to a higher temperature in a reheater, which is not shown in more detail in FIG. 1 , and then fed into an intermediate-pressure turbine section 2 via a line 1 .
- the steam which flows into the intermediate-pressure turbine section 2 expands, wherein the pressure and the temperature of the steam drop in the process.
- the expanded steam flows from an outlet 3 via an overflow line 4 into an inlet 5 of a low-pressure turbine section 6 .
- the intermediate-pressure turbine section 2 and low-pressure turbine section 6 which are shown in FIG. 1 , are to be seen as part of a steam turbine.
- the high-pressure turbine section, the reheater, the condenser and various units, such as a pump, are not shown in more detail.
- An accumulating device 7 is arranged in the overflow line 4 .
- the accumulating device 7 can be formed with controllability and/or as a pivotable flap.
- the accumulating device 7 is operated in such a way that the steam which issues at the outlet 3 is accumulated in front of the control flap, as a result of which the pressure of the steam is increased. Consequently, the saturation temperature of the steam is increased, which leads to an increase of the temperature transfer values of the steam to the intermediate-pressure turbine shaft of the intermediate-pressure turbine section 2 .
- the intermediate-pressure turbine shaft is not shown in more detail.
- the starting process of a steam turbine is shortened by about one hour as a result.
