Definitions
- Known gas turbines are provided with oxidant supply devices whose flow rate is adjustable by means of pivoting diaphragms.
- FR-A-2 572 463 describes and represents such diaphragms.
- the present invention relates to a device for supplying oxidant, such as air, to a combustion chamber of a gas turbine, comprising in particular a plurality of diaphragms for adjusting the quantity of oxidant admitted into the combustion chamber, each diaphragm having a crown, which is pivotally mounted with respect to the casing of the gas turbine, the pivoting of which constitutes the means of adjusting the cross-section for the passage of the oxidant into the combustion chamber, and which is coupled to a device for controlling its pivoting.
- oxidant such as air
- the subject of the invention is the adoption of the provisions according to which at least certain diaphragms are grouped into two adjacent diaphragms, the two crowns of the diaphragms of a group of two diaphragms each include a member for adjusting the pivoting of said crown; and, finally, the members for adjusting the pivoting of the two rings of the two said diaphragms are coupled to a single control member belonging to said device for controlling the pivoting.
- the main advantage of a supply device according to the invention lies in its simplicity and compactness, and consequently in the saving in weight and cost price achieved.
- the gas turbine the combustion chamber of which is represented, in cross section, by a circular ring 1, is provided with oxidizer supply devices 2, here in even number (16 devices), grouped in pairs.
- Each device 2 for supplying oxidant in air in the embodiment shown, comprises a fixed cylindrical ring 3, provided with inlet passages 4 for the oxidant inside the combustion chamber 5, and a ring 6, which is pivotally mounted around the axis 7 of the fixed crown 3 which surrounds said fixed crown 3 and which is provided with passages 8 capable of being arranged opposite the intake passages 4 of the fixed crown and thus allowing admission of the oxidant in the combustion chamber 5 or, on the contrary, as a function of the relative position of the crowns 3 and 6, to no longer be disposed opposite said intake passages 4, and then to remove, or reduce, the combustion of the oxidant in the combustion chamber.
- the assembly of a fixed crown 3 and the associated pivoting crown 6 is often also called a "diaphragm".
- the illustrated embodiment is only for example.
- Each pivoting ring 6 is provided with an arm 9, which constitutes a member for adjusting its pivoting and which is provided with an oblong slot 10.
- a first piston rod 11, integral with a piston 12, is associated with the two arm 9 of each group of two oxidant supply devices 2, by means of a shaft 13 introduced concomitantly into the openings 10 of the two said arms 9 and into a bore 14, which is provided with the free end of the first rod piston 11.
- the two spokes passing through the pivot axis 7 and through the axis of the shaft 13 of a group of two oxidizer supply devices 2 form an angle 2A between them, and each form, with the axis 15 of the first piston rod 11, an angle A, so that said axis 15 of this first piston rod 11 constitutes the bisector of the angle of said two radii.
- Each piston 12 is slidably mounted in a cylinder 16, in a direction substantially radial with respect to the wall 1 of the combustion chamber and parallel to the axis 15 of the first piston rod 11, the latter passing through without sealing, with a slight clearance J, the wall 1 and the cylinder 16 being moreover fixed to the wall 1 by screws 17.
- a deformable bellows 18 is contained in the chamber 19 delimited inside the cylinder 16, surrounds the first piston rod 11 and, secured with tightness to the piston 12 and to the bottom 20 of the cylinder which is fixed to the wall 1, itself delimits, inside the cylinder 16, a working chamber 21, which is in permanent communication, by the 'through play J, with combustion chamber 5.
- This cam 25 is integral with a support 29 which is pivotally mounted relative to the cylinder 16 about an axis 26 parallel to the common axis 15 of the two piston rods 11 and 22, by means of a bearing pivot 27 fixed to the body of the cylinder 16 by a screw 28.
- a pinion 30 is also integral with the support 29 of the cam and cooperates with a screw end 31.
- the assembly of the jack constituted by the cylinder 16 and the piston, the two piston rods 11 and 22, the cam 25, its support 29, and the pinions 30 and worm 31, constitutes the control device 32 pivoting of the two pivoting rings 6 of a group of two oxidizing feed devices 2.
- the worms 31 of the various control devices 32 are also connected to each other by flexible connections 33, as well as to a single drive device 34, comprising a motor for driving one in rotation, and consequently of each of the endless screws 31.
- the embodiment which has just been described is compact since a single control device 32 controls the pivoting of the two pivoting rings 6 of two oxidizer or diaphragm supply devices 2.
- a single drive device 34 allows the adjustment of the positions of all the cams 25. This compact embodiment is therefore also light and at a relatively moderate cost price. It will have been noted that the pressurized gas contained in the enclosure of the combustion chamber casing reaches the working chamber 21 of each cylinder via the clearance J and places the end 22A of each second rod in abutment. piston 22 on the face 24 of the cam 25, thereby having an antagonistic effect to that of said cam.
