Definitions
- Embodiments of the subject matter disclosed herein generally relate to methods of balancing thrust as well as turbines e turbines engine implementing these methods.
- axial thrust on the bearing of a power gas turbine may easily be in the range from 1 0,000 N to 100,000 N .
- a power turbine that may be called “low-pressure turbine” are typically located downstream of a compressor; a turbine (that may be called “high-pressure turbine” is often connected mechanically to the compressor downstream of the compressor and upstream of the high- power turbine; a combustor receives gas from the compressor, realizes combustion and provides gas to the high pressure turbine; this arrangement is usually referred to as “turbine engine” . It is very difficult and expensive to provide a thrust bearing able to withstand such a high axial thrust.
- a valve (42) is associated to a conduit fluidly connecting an inter-stage bleed (39) of a high pressure compressor (14) and a balance piston cavity (32) of a low-pressure turbine (20), i.e.
- valve (42) is controlled by a control unit (35); thrust balance pressure transducers (54) are positioned within the balance piston cavity (32) in order to continuously monitor the pressure in the cavity (32); the control unit (35) actively controls the position of the valve (42) in response to an algorithm (58) which continuously calculates the residual load (60) on rotor thrust bearing (28) through certain measured parameters.
- Valves (49, 53) associated to flow control means (55) are provided for controlling the flow of both steam and air. This document does not describe the flow control means (55) and it hints at realizing the flow control means as electric or electronic means designed to implement a control law, in particular by sensing or measuring operating conditions or parameters of the engine.
- inter-stage bleed of a compressor in a turbine engine may be used not only for balancing thrust but also for other purposes such as enhancing the engine performance in certain operating conditions.
- an active control of a valve can provide a more accurate balance of the axial thrust by realizing sophisticated control laws implying also the continuous regulation of the opening of the valve; anyway, the reliability of the active control needs to be guaranteed, which is not an easy task if the reliability required to the whole system is very high as in "Oil & Gas” applications.
