Description
- The subject matter disclosed herein relates to the art of gas turbomachines and, more particularly, to a gas turbomachine including a purge flow reduction system.
- Many turbomachines include a compressor portion linked to a turbine portion through a common compressor/turbine shaft or rotor and a combustor assembly. The compressor portion guides a compressed air flow through a number of sequential stages toward the combustor assembly. In the combustor assembly, the compressed air flow mixes with a fuel to form a combustible mixture. The combustible mixture is combusted in the combustor assembly to form hot gases. The hot gases are guided to the turbine portion through a transition piece. The hot gases expand through the turbine portion rotating turbine blades to create work that is output, for example, to power a generator, a pump, or to provide power to a vehicle. In addition to providing compressed air for combustion, a portion of the compressed airflow is passed through the turbine portion for cooling purposes. Additional cooling/heating is provided by introducing purge flows from the turbine portion into various regions of the turbomachine. For example, purge flows are often employed to cool/heat aft portions of the turbine. The purge flow also helps to maintain desired thermal expansion of adjacent parts
- According to one aspect of the exemplary embodiment, a gas turbomachine includes a turbine portion including at least one turbine wheel, and a wheel shaft operatively connected to the at least one turbine wheel. The wheel shaft includes an outer surface. A stationary member includes an inner surface positioned outward of the outer surface of the wheel shaft to form a purge flow passage. A bearing housing is linked to the stationary member and spaced radially outward of the wheel shaft. The bearing housing includes at least one purge flow passage configured and disposed to guide a purge flow toward the wheel shaft. At least one of the outer surface of the wheel shaft and the inner surface of the stationary member includes a roughness inducing coating configured and disposed to increase drag and residence time of purge flow in the purge flow passage.
- According to another aspect of the exemplary embodiment, turbomachine system includes a rotating component including an outer surface, a stationary member including an inner surface positioned outward of the outer surface of the rotating component to form a fluid flow passage, and a bearing housing linked to the stationary member and spaced radially outward of the rotating component adjacent the stationary member. The bearing housing includes at least one fluid flow passage configured and disposed to guide a fluid flow toward the fluid flow passage. At least one of the outer surface of the rotating component and the inner surface of the stationary member includes a roughness inducing coating configured and disposed to increase drag and residence time of fluid flow in the purge flow passage.
- According to yet another aspect of the exemplary embodiment, a method of decreasing purge flow in a gas turbomachine includes guiding a purge flow into a purge flow passage defined between a rotating component and a stationary member, and inducing the drag in the purge flow through an interaction with a roughness inducing coating provided on one of the rotating component and the stationary component. The drag leads to an increased temperature and residence time of the purge flow in the purge flow passage that reduces an amount of required purge flow.
- These and other advantages and features will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- The subject matter, which is regarded as the invention, is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification.
- The foregoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an aft portion of a turbine portion of a gas turbomachine in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 2 is a plan view illustrating a wheel shaft having a purge flow reduction system including a roughness inducing coating coupled to an aft turbine wheel in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; and -
FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of a bearing housing and a stator including a roughness inducing coating arranged at the aft portion of the turbine portion ofFIG. 1 . - The detailed description explains embodiments of the invention, together with advantages and features, by way of example with reference to the drawings.
- A gas turbomachine in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is indicated generally at 2 in
FIG. 1 .Gas turbomachine 2 includes aturbine portion 4 having a plurality of turbine wheels, one of which is indicated at 8 that supports rows of buckets (not shown) along ahot gas path 11. Combustion gases flowing alonghot gas path 11 impinge upon the rows of buckets imparting a rotational force toturbine wheels 8. The combustion gases pass fromhot gas path 11 into anexhaust cone 14 supported by ahousing 16. -
Turbine wheel 8 is operatively coupled to a rotating component orwheel shaft 19.Wheel shaft 19 rotates in response to rotation ofturbine wheel 8.Wheel shaft 19 includes anaxial portion 22 having an axial portionouter surface 24 and anangled portion 28 having an angled portionouter surface 30. As shown inFIG. 2 , arabbet portion 33 extends fromangled portion 28 and joins withturbine wheel 8.Rabbet portion 33 includes a plurality of openings (not separately labeled) that receive mechanical fasteners, one of which is shown at 36.Mechanical fasteners 36link wheel shaft 19 toturbine wheel 8. As will be discussed more fully below, a stationary member orstator 40 and a bearinghousing 44 are supported fromhousing 16.Stator 40 is arranged adjacent toangled portion 28, and bearinghousing 44 is positioned adjacent toaxial portion 22. -
Stator 40 includes afirst section 50 that extends to asecond section 51 and athird section 52.Second section 51 is angled to correspond toangled portion 28 ofwheel shaft 19.Third section 52 extends generally parallel toaxial portion 22 ofwheel shaft 19 andfirst section 50 extends generally perpendicularly tothird section 52.First section 50 includes a firstinner surface 54,second section 51 includes a secondinner surface 55, andthird section 52 includes a thirdinner surface 56.Bearing housing 44 includes a bearinghousing body 60 including afirst end portion 62 that extends to asecond end portion 63 through anintermediate portion 64.First end portion 62 supports a plurality of seal members, one of which is indicated at 67.Seal members 67 prevent lubricant and/or coolant (not shown) flowing alongaxial portion 22 to pass towardangled portion 28.Seal member 67 is shown to include apurge flow nozzle 69 that passes a purge flow through bearinghousing 60. The purge flow passes into a purge flow passage 75 that extends between angled portionouter surface 30 and first, second, and third inner surfaces 54-56 ofstator 40. The purge flow may originate from a component operatively coupled toturbomachine 2 such as a compressor (not shown) or from an external source such as a blower (also not shown). - The purge flow is controlled to
condition rabbet portion 33 to achieve a rate of thermal expansion that aligns with a rate of thermal expansion ofturbine wheel 8. During start up, blades mounted toturbine wheel 8 are exposed to combustion gases flowing alonghot gas path 11. As a result,turbine wheel 8 thermally expands faster thanrabbet portion 33. In order to offset the difference in rates of thermal expansion, a large amount of purge flow is passed into purge flow passage 75 to causeangled portion 28 and rabbet 33 to heat up faster and match the rate of thermal expansion ofturbine wheel 8. The amount of purge flow passing into purge flow passage 75 represents lost work that results in efficiency losses forturbine portion 4. - In accordance with the exemplary embodiment,
turbine portion 4 includes a purgeflow reduction system 88 that leads to a reduced amount of purge flow required to heatrabbet 33. Purgeflow reduction system 88 includesroughness inducing coating 90 provided onangled portion 28 and anotherroughness inducing coating 94 provided on secondinner surface 55 ofstator 40.Roughness inducing coatings portion 28 andrabbet 33 to achieve a rate of thermal expansion that more closely aligns with the rate of thermal expansion ofturbine wheel 8. - In accordance with one aspect of the exemplary embodiment,
roughness inducing coatings coatings angled portion 28 or secondinner surface 55 ofstator 40. The overall surface area, thickness, and location of the roughness inducing coating may vary depending on the desired flow modification within purge flow passage 75. For example, the roughness inducing coating may entirely cover an entire surface or may be applied in strips. Although described in terms of being incorporated into a turbomachine, the roughness inducing coating may be employed in fluid passages of other systems to create a desired restriction. - While the invention has been described in detail in connection with only a limited number of embodiments, it should be readily understood that the invention is not limited to such disclosed embodiments. Rather, the invention can be modified to incorporate any number of variations, alterations, substitutions or equivalent arrangements not heretofore described, but which are commensurate with the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, while various embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that aspects of the invention may include only some of the described embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not to be seen as limited by the foregoing description, but is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
