- a turbine assembly for a radial turbine that contains the fragmented turbine wheel within the turbine housing upon burst and reduces the destructive energy level of the fragmented pieces to a safe value.
- the containment device according to the present invention has an advantage over the various braking devices of the prior art in that the former does not become effective until after turbine wheel fragmentation.
- Radial flow turbines are known generally to include a relatively flat back-plate and a bell-shaped exhaust plate together defining a generally radial inlet and an axially extending outlet.
- the turbine wheel disposed between the two plates, turns the radial inlet flow axially towards the centrally disposed outlet, as it is driven by the expanding gases.
- the turbine wheel is formed by an axially curved hub from which the turbine blades extend radially with the outlet sides of the blades being generally free.
- One means for assisting containment of the turbine wheel is the provision of a knifeedged annular recess in the back-plate that cooperates with an annular knife-edged shoulder on the turbine hub which extends into the recess so that upon turbine fragmentation, the knife-edged recess tends to hold the fragmented pieces radially inwardly as well as resist axial movement of the fragmented pieces toward the outlet, it being understood that the back-plate is on the opposite side of the turbine wheel from the outlet.
- the knife-edged recess which is in fact a conically diverging recess in the back-plate, delays the movement of the fragmented parts toward the turbine inlet and outlet. As a result of this delay, the destructive energy level of the fragmented parts is reduced to a level significantly reducing to damage to the inlet and the outlet as well as the potential damage to surrounding equipment.
- the present turbine is provided with stationary inlet stator blades completely surrounding the tips of the turbine blades. With sufficient strength, the stator blades acting in conjunction with the recess in the back-plate noted above can completely con tain the fragmented parts in the turbine housing.
- a further feature of the present invention is in the provision of a tri-bu'rst hub which includes three equally spaced radial slots in the turbine wheel. This has the advantage of providing more uniform fracture upon turbine burst and reduces the fragmented particle size thus reducing the energy level of any given piece of the turbine wheel. Additionally, the weakening slots provide predictable burst configurations which must be contained.
- the problem of containment involves not only the features described above, but also other parameters such as the configuration of the turbine wheel, the thickness of the back-plate, the thickness of the exhaust plate, the length of the exhaust plate, and the number of fastening elements interconnecting the back-plate to the exhaust plate.
- a radial turbine 10 is illustrated generally including a housing 12, an inlet scroll 14, a turbine wheel 16, an outlet shroud l8 and an output shaft 20.
- turbine assembly 10 is as a prime mover in an emergency hydraulic power supply system such as shown in the copending application of Richard W. Reynolds entitled Emergency Hydraulic Power System," Ser. No. 16,841 filed Mar. 5, 1970, assigned to the assignee of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the turbine burst containment means according to the present invention are applicable to turbines in a wide variety of applicatrons.
- a generally annular frame plate 23 is provided which may be the primary support for the turbine assembly.
- the frame member 23 has a cylindrical central portion 24 with a central bore 26 therethrough which supports an axially extending annular flange 27 on a turbine back-plate 30.
- the back-plate 30 is generally annular in configuration and is rigidly fixed to the frame member 23 by a plurality of annularly arrayed fasteners 32.
- Fixed to the periphery of the backplate 30 in annular recess 34 is an annular stator blade ring 35 that has a plurality of turbine inlet stator blades 37 machined thereon.
- Stator blades 37 are not radially disposed with respect to the axis of the turbine wheel, but are angularly related toward the direction of rotation of the turbine wheel as is known to those skilled in the art.
- the stator blades 37 extend completely around the turbine wheel 16 and are of sufficient strength to assist in providing the radial containment of the turbine wheel 16 upon burst.
- the free, or right ends, of the turbine blades 37 fit and may be welded in suitable recesses in a bell-shaped exhaust plate 40.
- the exhaust plate 40 is fixed to the nozzle ring 35 by a plurality of pins 42 extending through both the exhaust plate 40 and the stator blade ring 35.
- Pins 42 are welded to plate 40 and ring 35 and are preferably equal in number to one-half the number of stator blades 37.
- the number of pins 42 is of importance since the exhaust plate 40 does provide an axial containment function.
- the thickness of exhaust plate 40 is sufficient to prevent fracture upon turbine burst when employed with the other containment features of the present invention.
- the outlet shroud 18 is a generally conical sheet metal exhaust duct 43 fixed to the open end of the bell-shaped exhaust plate 40.
- the inlet scroll 14 also has a sheet metal member 44 connected at one side as at 48 to the stator blade ring 35 and at the other side of the outlet shroud 43 as indicated at 50 and the outlet plate 40 as indicated at 52.
- the turbine output shaft has a first enlarged portion 55 rotatably supported in a main bearing 57.
- Another bearing may be provided for supporting shaft 20 spaced from the bearing shown.
- Bearing 57 is seated within recess 58 in the backplate flange 27 and is retained at its left side by snap ring 61 in enlarged portion 55 of shaft 20, which limits rightward movement of the shaft 20 with respect to the frame plate 23.
- sleeve 62 is provided surrounding a further enlarged portion 64 on shaft 20.
- the left end of the sleeve engages the inner race of bearing 57 and the right end engages a sealing ring 65 of shaft seal assembly 68.
- Extending from the enlarged portion 64 of the output shaft is a reduced cantilevered portion 70 which supports the turbine wheel 16.
- the turbine wheel 16 is seen to include a bell-shaped hub member 72 with its small end 73 adjacent the outlet, and large end 74 adjacent back-plate 30.
- the hub 72 receives an adapter ring 75 which supports sealing ring 65 and has an annular nose engaging the enlarged flange portion 64 on the output shaft. Suitable means are provided for keying hub 72 to shaft portion 70.
- a threaded fastener 78 on the threaded end of shaft portion 70 locates the hub 72 axially on the output shaft.
- Hub 72 has a concave exterior surface 79 that turns the expanding inlet gases from a radial direction to an axial direction as is well known to those skilled in the turbine art. Extending radially with respect to surface 79 and formed integrally with the hub 72 are a plurality of turbine blades 81 that have free ends 82 adjacent the back-plate, free ends 83 adjacent the stator blades 37, and arcuate free ends 85 adjacent the exhaust plate 40. While not apparent from the view of the turbine shown, the blades 81 lie generally in a radial plane, i.e., a plane including the axis of shaft 20, adjacent the inlet thereof, and then turn in a direction opposite the direction of flow adjacent the outlet portions thereof.
- a radial plane i.e., a plane including the axis of shaft 20, adjacent the inlet thereof, and then turn in a direction opposite the direction of flow adjacent the outlet portions thereof.
- the hub 72 has three radial slots as at 88 that assist in providing a clean tri-segment failure of the turbine wheel.
- the slots are equiangularly related, and as illustrated, each extends longitudinally completely through the hub 72 and radially outwardly from bore 87, but the slots are insignificant enough to maintain the integrity required of the hub 72.
- the adapter provides a seal on shaft 70 against loss of pressure through slots 88, and each slot receives an adapter projection 89, locking the adapter and wheel for rotation together.
- the triburst slotted hub increases the likelihood of the hub failing in three reasonably uniform segmented pieces, thus reducing the possibility of a very large piece of the turbine fragmenting which would have a higher destructive energy level because of its greater mass.
- the primary containment means is an annular recess 90 in the back-plate 30, facing and partially encapsulating a projecting shoulder 91 on the turbine hub 72.
- the recess 90 is defined in part by a frustoconical surface 93 extending axially rearwardly from back-plate surface 94 and radially outwardly.
- Frusto-conical surface 93 has approximately a thirty degree relationship with the axis of turbine wheel 16.
- the surfaces 93 and 94 define generally what is termed a "knife edge,” which assists in holding the fragmented turbine parts radially as well as axially, upon burst, against the tendency of the turbine fragments to move radially and axially toward the inlet and outlet ducting.
- the shoulder 91 also has a frusto-conical surface 97 adjacent and complementary to the recess surface 93. Shoulder 91 and surface 97 project radiallyoutwardly and axially rearwardly into the recess 90 as is apparent from the drawing.
- the outer diameter of surface 97 is preferably smaller than the inner diameter of surface 93 in order for the projection on the wheel to enter the recess in the housing.
- the shoulder 91 Upon turbine burst, the shoulder 91 enters and engages the recess 90 with the surfaces 97 and 93 frictionally engaging and braking the rotating material. Because of the angular relationship of these surfaces there is an inward retention of the fragmented pieces tending to hold the' pieces both away from the inlet blades 37 and away from the outlet or exhaust plate 40.
- the retention shoulder 93 constrains the material to pivot about the shoulder, thus applying some axial component in the movement.
- the angular diverging configuration of the recess-90 is of significance since tests, in which the surfaces 93 and 97 were not undercut by cylindrical and parallel to the shaft axis, resulted in a failure in exhaust plate 40 as well as an outward bulging of the back-plate 30.
- the fragments more promptly pivot about the shoulders of the cylindrical surfaces and move toward the inlet before sufficient dissipation of energy.
- the decrease in the effectiveness of such a modified recess was substantiated by a reduced scraping of the hub segments on the cylindrical step on the back-plate.
- a rotary turbine comprising; a turbine wheel having a hub and a plurality of blades extending therefrom, housing means surrounding said wheel, inlet nozzle means associated with the blades, exhaust passage means associated with the blades, and means to assist in containment of the turbine wheel upon exceeding the burst speed thereof including an annular recess on said housing means that increases in diameter axially away from the turbine wheel, said turbine wheel being formed with a shoulder extending toward said recess, said recess being generally conical and diverging away from said turbine wheel, said shoulder being generally conical and complementary to said recess.
- a radial flow turbine assembly comprising: a rotary turbine wheel having a hub with blades extending from the hub, housing means surrounding said turbine wheel and defining generally radially disposed turbine inlet means and generally axially disposed turbine outlet means, containment means for minimizing turbine wheel burst damage including annual recess means within said housing having a first portion of predetermined diameter and a second portion of greater diameter spaced axially further from said turbine wheel than said first diameter portion, and projection means on said turbine wheel extending into said recess means.
- a radial flow turbine as defined in claim 2 including means surrounding the inlet portion of the turbine blades for assisting in containment of the turbine wheel.
- a radial flow turbine assembly comprising: a rotary turbine wheel having a hub with blades extending from the hub, housing means surrounding said turbine wheel and defining generally radially disposed turbine inlet means and generally axially disposed turbine outlet means, containment means for minimizing turbine wheel burst damage including annular recess means within said housing means having a first portion of predetermined diameter and a second portion of greater diameter spaced axially further from said turbine wheel than said fust diameter portion, projection means on said turbine wheel extending into said recess means, said projection means on said turbine wheel being a continuous annular projection on the turbine hub, said projection being spaced normally a substantial distance from the tips of the turbine blades, said recess means being closely adjacent said annular projection and being located in the housing means on the side of the turbine wheel opposite said outlet means, said recess means being generally conical and diverging away from said first diameter portion, said projection means being conical and diverging into said recess means, and means surrounding the inlet portion of the turbine blades for assisting in contain
