Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbomachine, in particular a steam turbine, comprising a rotor which is mounted rotatably and comprises rotor blades, and a casing which is arranged about the rotor, wherein the casing comprises guide vanes, a first bearing and a second bearing for mounting the rotor.
  • turbomachines are among the devices employed in the communal supply of power.
  • An example of such a turbomachine is a steam turbine having, in essence, a rotor and a casing arranged about the rotor.
  • the rotor is a component which can be several meters long and can weigh several tonnes.
  • the rotors are mounted rotatably on two bearings, wherein in operation relatively high rotational speeds such as 50 Hz or 60 Hz or more can be reached. Such high rotational frequencies, together with the weight and the length of the rotors, require precise manufacturing such that safe operation is possible.
  • the maximum length of such a rotor is limited by the fact that the stiffness of the turbine section spool is limited and cannot be lengthened in conjunction with the rotor-dynamic properties. Furthermore, the maximum length of the rotor is strongly dependent on the position of the bearing locations and the manner in which the bearing casing is supported.
  • An embodiment of the invention has the object of indicating a turbomachine which is improved in terms of rotor dynamics.
  • Embodiments of the invention thus proposes displacing at least one bearing such that the rotor-dynamic properties are fundamentally improved. To that end, it is proposed that the bearing is arranged upstream of a guide vane stage, as seen in a flow direction. It is thus proposed that the bearing is not arranged as a separate component at the end of the rotor, but rather that it is integrated into the blade path of the turbomachine. To that end, it is first proposed that the bearing is arranged upstream of a rotor blade stage.
  • an embodiment of the invention presents the advantage that the bearing casing can henceforth be borne by a guide vane stage without additional bearing supports.
  • the bearing casing is arranged on bearing supports which are formed as guide vanes. That means that the bearing supports fulfill a thermodynamic function, specifically the thermodynamic function of a guide vane. That means that the bearing supports are formed such that they follow a fluid-dynamic profile which is predetermined by a guide vane stage.
  • the bearing displaced into the flow path can thus also fulfill thermodynamic properties, in addition to the rotor-dynamic properties, since the bearing supports are also formed as guide vanes.
  • a diffuser is preferably arranged downstream of the final rotor blade stage.
  • the diffuser advantageously no longer has any disruptive bearing supports in the flow path and can thus carry out the pressure recovery in a more targeted manner.
  • the bearing support formed as a guide vane is designed so as to have a device for exchanging energy and signals.
  • the invention delivers the advantage that a bearing integrated in the guide vane stage henceforth requires less axial installation space and permits a smaller separation with respect to the condenser. Since the bearing is borne by the guide vane stage, no bearing supports are required, which would lead to material and manufacturing costs and would hinder the exhaust flow to the condenser. Furthermore, the stiffness of the turbine section spool is substantially increased, leading to markedly improved rotor dynamics. This can permit a reduction in radial clearances in order to further improve efficiency.
  • an embodiment of the invention presents the advantage that larger exhaust flow cross sections can be realized and longer blade paths can be used.
  • the FIGURE shows a cross section view of a steam turbine.
  • the FIGURE shows an embodiment of a turbomachine, designed as a steam turbine 1 .
  • This steam turbine 1 comprises, in essence, a rotor 3 which is mounted such that it can rotate about an axis of rotation 2 , on which rotor a first rotor blade stage 5 , a second rotor blade stage 6 and a third rotor blade stage 7 are arranged on the rotor surface 4 .
  • the steam turbine 1 further comprises a casing (not shown in more detail) which is arranged around the rotatably mounted rotor 3 .
  • a first guide vane stage 8 , a second guide vane stage 9 and a third guide vane stage 10 are arranged on the casing.
  • a flow path 11 is formed between the first 5 , second 6 and third 7 rotor blade stages and the first 8 , second 9 and third 10 guide vane stages, through which flow path steam flows in operation.
  • the rotor 3 is mounted on a base 12 by means of a first bearing 13 and a second bearing 14 .
  • the first bearing 13 is arranged at a first end 15 of the rotor 3 .
  • the second bearing 14 is arranged at a second end 16 .
  • the second bearing 14 is arranged in the flow path 11 upstream of the third rotor blade stage 7 , that is to say consequently the final rotor blade stage.
  • the bearing comprises a bearing casing 17 which is arranged around the second bearing 14 .
  • a bearing support 19 formed as a guide vane is arranged on the bearing casing. Since the bearing support 19 formed as a guide vane is arranged in the flow path 11 , this bearing support 19 formed as a guide vane participates in the conversion of the energy of the steam in the flow path 11 .
  • a diffuser 20 in which a pressure recovery of the steam in the flow path 11 takes place, is arranged downstream of the third rotor blade stage 7 .
  • the bearing support 19 formed as a guide vane, with the second bearing 14 can also be arranged upstream of the second rotor blade stage 6 or even further upstream in the flow path 11 .
  • Devices 21 for exchanging energy and signals are provided in the bearing support 19 formed as a guide vane.
  • the rotor ( 3 ) has, as seen in the flow direction, a first, second, penultimate and final rotor blade row.
  • the casing has, as seen in the flow direction, a first, second, penultimate and final guide vane row.
  • the second bearing is arranged between the penultimate and the final rotor blade rows.
