図示される実施形態では、上述した少なくとも1つのタービン動翼4は、一方側動翼41と、一方側動翼41よりも回転シャフト2の軸方向の他方側に設けられる他方側動翼42と、を含む。回転シャフト2の上記他方側にそれぞれ支持される一方側動翼41及び他方側動翼42は、動翼間距離が短いため、動翼間に生じる圧力損失を小さなものとすることができ、ひいては発電用タービン1の性能向上が図れる。
発電用タービン1は、図1~図3に示されるように、回転シャフト2を回転可能に収容するように構成された内側ケーシング5と、内側ケーシング5の外周側(径方向外側)に配置される外側ケーシング6と、をさらに備える。内側ケーシング5は、一方側動翼41のディスク部43に第1隙間S1を有して対向する対向面52を有する。内側ケーシング5は、発電機3を収容する発電機収容空間S2を内部に形成する。

図3は、本開示の一実施形態に係る発電用タービン1の軸方向に直交する概略断面図である。図3では、発電機収容空間S2の内部を省略して示している。図1~図3に示される実施形態では、発電用タービン1は、環状流路S41を回転シャフト2の径方向に沿って延在する少なくとも1つのケーシング支持部11を備える。ケーシング支持部11は、一端が外側ケーシング6の内周面61に接続され、他端が内側ケーシング5の外周面53に接続される。ケーシング支持部11により、内側ケーシング5は、外側ケーシング6に支持されている。第1隙間S1は、一方側動翼41の一方端とケーシング支持部11の他方端の間の作動流体流路S4に接続され、作動流体流路S4に連通している。
上述した内側ケーシング5は、図1及び図2に示されるように、作動流体流路S4を形成する外面55に形成された外側開口541及び発電機収容空間S2を形成する内面56に形成された内側開口542を有する少なくとも1つ(図示例では、複数)の貫通孔54が形成されている。複数の貫通孔54は、回転シャフト2の周方向において互いに間隔をあけて配置されている。
図4及び図5の各々は、本開示の一実施形態に係る発電用タービン1のタービン動翼4近傍の軸方向に沿った概略断面図である。幾つかの実施形態に係る発電用タービン1は、図2に示されるように、上述した回転シャフト2、発電機3、タービン動翼4、内側ケーシング5及び外側ケーシング6を備え、発電用タービン1の作動流体は、作動流体流路S4を上記軸方向の上記一方側から上記他方側に向かって流れるように構成されている。上述した一方側動翼41のディスク部43は、図4に示されるように、上記軸方向に貫通する第1バランスホール48を有する。第1バランスホール48は、軸受収容空間S3から第1隙間S1に導かれた作動流体(抽気)が流入するように構成されている。
幾つかの実施形態に係る発電用タービン1では、図6に示されるように、上述した回転シャフト2は、上述したスラストディスク部22を有する。上述した磁気軸受7は、上述した他方側スラスト軸受72を含む。上述した内側ケーシング5は、少なくとも1つの抽気孔10が形成されている。抽気孔10は、軸受収容空間S3の外周側に環状流路S41(作動流体流路S4)を形成する外周面53に形成された外側開口10A、及び他方側スラスト軸受72よりも上記軸方向の上記他方側において軸受収容空間S3を形成する内面57に形成された内側開口10B、を有する。
図8は、本開示の一実施形態に係る発電用タービン1の発電機収容空間S2及び軸受収容空間S3近傍の軸方向に沿った概略断面図である。図8では、第1絞り部A1と第2絞り部A2が描かれているが、第1絞り部A1と第2絞り部A2は、何れか一方があればよい。幾つかの実施形態に係る発電用タービン1では、図8に示されるように、上述した回転シャフト2は、上述したスラストディスク部22を有し、上述したスラストディスク部22の外周面221と、外周面221の外周側に隙間を有して対向する内側ケーシング5の内面58との間に、作動流体の流路を狭める第1絞り部A1が設けられている。
図9は、本開示の一実施形態に係る発電用タービン1を備える発電システム100の模式図である。発電システム100は、液化ガスを加熱するための熱媒体を介して、液化ガスが有する冷熱エネルギーを電力として回収するためのものである。液化ガスを気化させる際に、発電システム100に搭載される発電用タービン1により冷熱エネルギーを電力として回収する。
熱媒体循環ライン101は、水よりも凝固点の低い熱媒体を循環させるように構成されている。以下、液化ガスの具体例として液化天然ガス(LNG)を、熱媒体循環ライン101を流れる熱媒体の具体例としてプロパンを例に挙げて説明するが、本開示は、液化天然ガス以外の液化ガス(液化水素など)も適用可能であり、また、プロパン以外の熱媒体、例えばR1234yfやR1234zeなどを熱媒体循環ライン101に流れる熱媒体とした場合にも適用可能である。
凝縮器103は、熱媒体と液化ガスとが熱交換することで作動流体を凝縮させるように構成されている。凝縮器103の内部には、熱媒体循環ライン101に接続され熱媒体循環ライン101を循環する熱媒体が流入する加熱側管路103Aと、液化ガス供給ライン102に接続され液化ガス供給ライン102を流れる液化ガスが流入する被加熱側管路103Bが設けられている。そして、加熱側管路103Aを流れる熱媒体と被加熱側管路103Bを流れる液化ガスとが熱交換するように構成されている。凝縮器103において、熱交換により熱媒体は冷却され凝縮し、液化ガスは加熱される。
冷熱用ポンプ105は、凝縮器103から供給された熱媒体を昇圧するように構成されている。熱媒体循環ライン101に接続される冷熱用ポンプ105が駆動することにより、熱媒体循環ライン101を熱媒体が循環する。熱媒体は、凝縮器103から冷熱用ポンプ105へ、冷熱用ポンプ105から蒸発器106へ、蒸発器106から発電用タービン1へ、発電用タービン1から凝縮器103へと流れる。
蒸発器106は、冷熱用ポンプ105により昇圧された熱媒体と、発電システム100の外部から導入された加熱流体とが熱交換することで熱媒体を蒸発させるように構成されている。蒸発器106の内部には、冷熱用ポンプ105により昇圧された熱媒体が流入し、熱媒体循環ライン101に接続される熱媒体被加熱側管路106Aと、加熱流体供給ライン104に接続され、発電システム100の外部から導入される加熱流体が流入する熱媒体加熱側管路106Bが設けられている。そして、熱媒体被加熱側管路106Aを流れる熱媒体と熱媒体加熱側管路106Bを流れる加熱流体とが熱交換するように構成されている。蒸発器106において、熱交換により熱媒体は加熱され蒸発し、加熱流体は冷却される。
