Definitions

  • This invention relates to the construction of stator elements of turbines, compressors or like machines and has for its principal object to provide a construction of working fluid channel for the stator portions of such machines which will simplify the problem of maintaining at reasonably small value the nominal clearance between a wall of such a channel and an element which has to be contained with a clearance therein, notwithstanding that the parts are subject to expansion and contraction due to temperature variation.
  • the invention is deemed to be particularly applicable to, and has special value in machines in which a large temperature variation is experienced, and thus has particular application to internal combustion gas turbines operating at high temperatures, for example axial flow gas turbines such as are used in aircraft power plants, in which the problem of maintaining a small clearance between the working fluid channel and moving parts therein arises in its most acute form.
  • the invention has been evolved primarily to meet this problem as it arises in turbines of that type in the case of the clearance between the tips of the turbine rotor blades and their stator shroud, and will be described in relation to that particular case without prejudice to the generality of the scope of the appended claims.
  • stator construction presents a smaller mass than the rotor and thus heats more rapidly, with the result that the stator diameter and therefore the blade tip clearance increases on starting, and emciency falls until the rotor becomes heated.
  • this difllculty cannot be met by a preliminary warming-up as with steam turbines; on the contrary, it is in the nature of the machine that a rapid temperature rise is inevitable.
  • the stator being more favourably situated for cooling as well as having a smaller mass, cools more rapidly than the rotor so that unless adequate tip clearance is allowed in the first place, the stator will shrink on to the blades, causing serious damage.
  • a further object of the invention is to enable the stator bladlng, whether as a whole or as individual blades or pluralities of blades, to be re- 2 moved or replaced simply and easily.
  • Yet another object is the provision of a stator construction especially well adapted to the requirement 0f multistage machines such that the stator as a whole can be built up in the course of assembly of a complete machine.
  • a turbine, compressor, or like machine especially an internal combustion turbine operating at high temperatures, having a stator working fluid channel containing an element which has to have a clearance therein, both the channel and the element being required to be subject to thermal radial expansion and contraction, wherein a boundary of said channel is defined by shrouding embodying expansion joints effective in the peripheral direction such as will allow thermal expansion and contraction of the material of the shroud without a corresponding variation in the radius thereof, said shrouding being supported in relation to the channel assembly by means which control the radius of the shrouding independently of the expansion and contraction characteristic of the latter, so that at any time said radius depends upon the condition of said supporting means and not upon the temperature of the shroud.
  • the shrouding is constituted by a high temperature inner wall carried by a low temperature support made as a rigid unit which is screened from the channel by and operates within a smaller temperature range than the shrouding, the mounting of the inner wall on its support being such that the radius of the former is determined by the condition of the latter.
  • the high temperature inner wall will be subject only to the same variations in diameter as the low temperature outer casing, so that the diameter of said inner wall may be maintained constant to a degree determined by the limits of temperature variation permitted to the outer casing, and it becomes possible, by allowing a cold blade tip clearance calculated only on the estimated expansion of the rotor, to eliminate the danger of the shroud ring shrinking into contact with the blades when cooling. It may be, however, in some cases that such clearance may still exceed an acceptable value when the turbine is being started from cold, due to the fact that the rotor heats relatively slowly. To meet this difficulty the rotor, according to a further feature of the invention, is also cooled so that the tip clearance at starting may the more closely approach that existing under running conditions.
  • the low temperature outer casing of the stator assembly is built up of a plurality of ring units (which may be continuous peripherally or may be built up in segments) interattached axially; these ring units by their juxtaposition locate the roots of stator blades in internal grooves presented by the assembly of rings; the high temperature inner wall of the stator assembly is built up (in the case of a multistage turbine) of a plurality of ring units; and the high temperature inner wall and low temperature outer casing, or their component ring units, have mutually interengaging formations by which the inner wall is rigidly locked to the outer casing.
  • the invention further provides for cooling the latter.
  • the said inner wall is mounted on the outer casing in radially spaced relationship thereto and provision is made for a circulation of collant to take place through the cavity so provided.
  • the means employed for cooling the turbine rotor preferably includes ports and guides coupled to a source of compressed air and adapted to supply such air to and conduct it along one or more surfaces of the rotor, the preferred arrangement being one in which only a thin layer of rapidly changed air passes over the surface to be cooled.
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged axial section of the turbine incorporated in said plant.
  • Figure 3 is a detail of the inner high temperature shroud construction.
  • the power plant in which the invention has been illustrated comprises a multistage axial flow, centrifugal discharge compressor I of which only the final stages are shown, said compressor supplying air under pressure to an annular aircasing or combustion chamber 2 defined by inner and outer walls 3, 4, symmetrically surrounding a shaft 5 by which the compressor I is driven from a turbine generally indicated as 8.
  • the atmosphere of the chamber I enclosed by the inner wall 3 of the aircasing 2 is maintained underpressure by supplying compressed air through a cooler 8 and a pipe connection 9 from the aircasing 2.
  • the latter contains, peripherally spaced around its annulus, combustion elements comprising fuel nozzles or burners III directed into flame tubes I I, which discharge the working gases at the inlet nozzle I2 of the turbine.
  • the outlets from the flame tubes II are peripherally flattened to form seg-.
  • the preferred application of the invention is to a turbine which, as illustrated, has a working fluid passage that expands in the downstream direction.
  • the turbine nozzle and stator blade assembly are preferably built up by an assembly of ring elements of appropriately varying diameter which are mutually interengaging and supporting and constitute together the high temperature inner wall and low temperature outer casing of the invention, and are assembled by being entered from the wider end of the passage as the assembly progresses, each successive element to be so entered retaining the one before it.
  • the turbine nozzle and stator blade assembly is constructed as follows (see more particularly Figure 2)
  • the first element of the rigid outer casing which also forms the outer wall of the turbine nozzle ring, is a first casing ring I3, being the casing ring of least diameter, which is attached to the engine structure by bolts or the like and comprises, extending radially inwardy and outwardly at its forward end, a flange I4 and at its rearward edge internally at rebated groove and also at its rearward edge an external radially extending flange I5 for the attachment of the second casing ring.
  • the nozzle ring stator blading comprises individual blades I6 each having a platform I! at its root, of rectangular or rhomboidal form.
  • a rib or key I8 which lies in a corresponding axially directed or skewed groove formed in the ring I3 and this rib at its rear end has a tooth I9 to engage the rebated groove of the ring.
  • Each blade is entered from the rear until the front edge of its platform is adjacent to the first mentioned flange I4 of the ring I3 and its tooth I9 is engaged; its rib I8 is now in the complementary groove in the ring l3.
  • the second casing ring 20 is now positioned against the first ring I3 by a flange 2I whose inner end abuts against the rear edges of the teeth I9 of the blades I5, locking them in their rebated groove.
  • at its outer part is extended forwardly at 22 to form an angle by which the outer edge of the flange I5 of the ring I3 is located, and also to meet the outer part of the flange I4, to which it is bolted and with which and the first ring I3 it defines an annular air chamber 23 to which cooling air is supplied from the cooler 8 by way of a connection 24 to an inlet 25 associated with the chamber 23.
  • the latter has outlets to the spaces between the ribs I8 of the blades It.
  • This second casing ring 28 is of frusto-conical form and at its rear edge presents a radially outwardly extending flange 26 interengagement with the rear edges of the blade platforms I! already in place, through a stepped formation 21a.
  • the shroud formed by the ring of sections 21 is spaced from the outer casing ring to define therewith an air cavity 30, having an inlet port 3
  • the radial flange 32 also has a peripheral forwardly directed flange engaging a corresponding peripheral groove in the second casing ring 20, thereby, with the stepped formation 28, supporting the shroud 21 in radially fixed relationship to the ring 20.
  • the third low temperature casing ring 35 in the main, is again of frusto-conical form and has set back slightly from its forward edge a radially outwardly extending flange 36 at whose periphery is a forwardly extending annular flange 31 which, with the flanges 36, 26 defines an annular chamber of generally rectangular channelled section in which are accommodated the roots 3% of a row of stator blades 39.
  • the roots 38 are located in the channel formation by bolts 40 engaging axial grooves therein, which bolts also serve to secure together the flanges 36, 26.
  • the roots 38 are further positioned by the interengagement therewith of an axially raised rib on the flange 36. This rib also, with the edge of the ring 35, defines an air cavity 4
  • the roots 38 are themselves recessed to form coolant passages, as indicated at 42 and in dotted lines.
  • the rear edge of the third casing ring 35 has a radial flange 43 surrounding an undercut groove, similarly to the rear edge of the second ring 20, the said groove receiving a forwardly directed flange 44 at the rear edge of a second high temperature inner shroud ring 45 which is similar in its construction to the first shroud ring 21 and is supported by the interengagement of its forward edge with the blade root 38.
  • a coolant space 45 is left between the second shroud ring 45 and the third casing ring 35, the space having an inlet port 41 by which air is received from the passages of the blade root 38, and an outlet port 48.
  • the rear face of the second shroud ring 45 has attached to it an extension piece 49, which is of similar construction to the shroud ring 45 in that it is in peripherally discontinuous sections interconnected by expansion joints.
  • Said extension piece 49 forms a liner for the exhaust duct wall 50, which has a flange and bolt attachment with the flange 43 of the third casing ring.
  • the tips of the blades 16 are also formed with platforms 56 which abut peripherally to form a virtually continuous floor for the nozzle passage and also enclose beneath them a chamber 51 for cooling air, which may enter by way of an inlet at 58 between the aircasing structure and platforms 56 from the main air stream emerging from the air-casing, and be discharged at 59 to the slight gap between the rotor and the rear edge of the nozzle ring 5
  • the inner high temperature shrouds 21, 45 by virtue of their peripherally effective expansion joints are capable of maintaining a constant diameter notwithstanding temperature variations; further, by virtue of their attachment to the low temperature outer casing rings 13, 20, 35, their actual diameter at any time is determined by the diameter of said casing rings; and finally that by reason of the circulation of cooling air from the chamber 23 through the cavities between the shroud rings and outer casing rings the temperature variation of the latter and the consequential variation in their diameter, and therefore, also, in that of the shroud rings can be kept within quite narrow limits, thus enabling a smaller tip clearance to be left between the rotor blades and shrouding when cold.
  • , are reinforced by an annular disc 66 having at its inner edge an enlarged ring formation 6'! which engages the inner faces of annular ribs 68 on the rotors 60, 6
  • the disc 66 At its outer edge the disc 66 has a flanged rim 10 which occupies the axial gap between blade mountings in the rims of the rotors 60, 6
  • the disc 66 is peripherally interrupted by short radial slots (not seen in the drawings) which, for the purpose of preventing leakage of cooling air direct from the chambers 13 to the working gas stream, instead of through or under the blade roots, are constructed so that under working conditions they are closed at their radially outer ends. This may be achieved by making the slots as narrow saw cuts whose edges are burred over to close the slots by a hammering operation prior to the final machining of the rim 10.
  • the weak flanges thus formed are crushed at the first expansion of the rim so that the slots, though open when the disc 66 is cold, are closed at the working temperature. It is desirable, in order to maintain a balanced flow of air past the blade roots in the rotors 50, 6
  • the forward face of the rotor 60 is screened by an air guide 14 which is mounted on a fixed part of the bearing 15 of the shaft and defines a narrow chamber extending along the greater part of the radius of the rotor 50.
  • a similar air guide 16 is formed by a part of the exhaust structure adjacent to the rear face of the rotor 6
  • the shaft 5 is ported to receive compressed air from the chamber 1, and this passes by way of outlet ports 80 to the passages 64 in the hub of the rotor GI and thence up the inner faces of the two rotors and the rear face of the rotor, eventually leaking into the working fluid as before.
