ATTORNEYS STEAM TURBINES This invention relates to steam turbines and is concerned with means for extracting water from wet steam in such turbines.
According to the present invention, an axial flow steam turbine comprises a turbine casing, a row of rotatable blades having tips and trailing and leading edges mounted within the casing, a row of stationary blades supported within the casing in spaced relationship to the rotatable blades downstream of the rotatable blades, and a drainage area between the rotatable blades and stationary blades for extracting water from wet steam flowing axially through the turbine casing, and drainage area including a circular wall carried by the turbine casing, said wall having upstream and downstream edges, with the upstream edge being immediately adjacent of the tips of the rotatable blades and the downstream edge upstream of but spaced from in unobstructed communication with the stationary blades, said wall being provided with a plurality of elongated longitudinal slots extending between the upstream and downstream edges along planes approximately containing the axis of rotation of the rotatable blades and being disposed transversely across the path of the wet steam in the region of the drainage area, the upstream edge of the wall being of a diameter of a circle defined by the tips of the rotating blades at their trailing edges, each of the slots having two opposed longitudinally extending edges disposed in a single surface of revolution common to all the longitudinally extending edges, whereby upon operation of the turbine, a substantially circumferentially flowing film of water moves from the rotatable blades and flows over the wall, and a region which, in operation, is at a pressure lower than the steam pressure in the drainage area and with which region the elongated slots communicate.
The invention also consists in a steam turbine with means for extracting water in accordance with the preceding paragraph in which the drainage area is connectable to a region at condenser pressure.
The invention also consists in a steam turbine with means for extracting water in accordance with the first of the preceding two paragraphs in which the drainage area is adapted for connecting to a feed heater.
The invention also consists in a steam turbine with means for extracting water in accordance with any of the preceding three paragraphs in which means are provided to keep the component of steam velocity normal to the turbine casing wall surrounding the rotatable blade row or to the drainage area in the turbine casing, or both, below a predetermined value such that rebound of water droplets from the wall of the casing is eliminated or minimized.
The invention also consists in a steam turbine with means for extracting water in accordance with the preceding paragraph in which the wall of the turbine surrounding the rotatable blade row or the slotted drainage area, or both, are shaped so as to reduce the angle of impact of water droplets.
The invention also consists in a steam turbine with means for extracting water from wet steam substantially as described hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the aforesaid drawings:
FIG. 1 is a cross section through part of a steam turbine showing means for removing water from wet steam in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing alternative means for removing water from the wet steam; and
FIG. 3 is a part section on line 3-3 of FIG. 1 and shows a typical form of drainage area for the turbine casing and suitable for use with the arrangements illustrated in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2.
ln carrying the invention into effect in the form illustrated by way of example and referring first to FIG. 1, an axial flow steam turbine comprises a rotor carrying rows of blades of which one row is shown at 1 and an outer casing 2 carrying rows of fixed stationary blades 3. A water drainage area denoted generally 4 is provided for the casing 2 downstream of the row of rotatable blades 1. This drainage area comprises a wall 4a having an upstream edge 4b and a downstream edge 40. The wall 4a is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced elongated longitudinal slots 5 which extend along planes containing the axis of rotation of the rotor from the edge 4b to the edge 40 and are disposed transversely across the path of the wet steam in the region of the area 4. Each slot 5 has opposed longitudinal edges 5a disposed in a single surface of revolution common to all slot edges.
The slots are connectable to or communicate with a region 5b at a lower pressure than that of the steam in the region of the drainage area. In one form, they are connected to an enclosure at condenser pressure.
Where the turbine has steam extracted at various stages for the purpose of feed heating, it is preferable to arrange the drainage area at a steam extraction stage.
It will be noted that wall 4a at the upstream edge 4b thereof is circular and is substantially equal in diameter to portion 2a of the turbine casing 2 surrounding the trailing edge In of the blades 1. In order words, the upstream edge of the wall is of a diameter closely approximating to, while being greater than the diameter of a circle defined by the tips of the blades 1 at their trailing edges.
In some circumstances, the extraction of water droplets from wet steam through the drainage area can be improved by arranging that the component of steam velocity normal to the casing wall surrounding the rotatable blade row is below a predetermined value so that rebound of the water droplets from the wall of the casing is eliminated or minimized.
FIG. 2 shows an arrangement for this purpose, with the end of the rotor blade having a sloping edge which is matched by a sloping wall in the casing. The shape of the turbine casing at the drainage area itself may also be arranged to reduce the angle of impact of water droplets thereon for the same reason.
FIG. 3 shows a section through part of the casing wall at the drainage area showing the slots 5.
If the wall portions between the slots of the slotted wall are sufficiently thick in relation to the slot width then their leading edges may be chamfered as indicated at 5c in FIG. 3 so as to prevent rebound of the water from the blunt edge back into the steam fiow.
The slotted extraction system shown offers a method of controlling the velocity or bled steam for any fixed total bleed quantity by varying either the number of slots or the slot gap which enables the water extraction rate to be optimized.
