Definitions
- the invention relates to an axially flow-through gas turbine according to the preamble of claim 1, consisting essentially of a multi-stage turbine which drives a compressor arranged on a common shaft, the shaft part lying between the turbine and the compressor being a drum.
- Such gas turbines are known.
- the entire rotor-side cooling air is z. B. removed from the compressor end. The majority of it flows through separate lines and through a swirl grille, which is usually on the same radius as the rotor cooling channels on the front side of the turbine rotor and e.g. is known from GB 2 189 845, in these rotor cooling channels.
- the smaller proportion of cooling air is used to cool the last compressor disc, the drum and the first turbine disc.
- the invention tries to avoid all of these disadvantages. It is based on the task of reducing the axial thrust in an axially flow-through gas turbine of the type mentioned at the outset, the effectiveness of the blade and disk cooling to improve and achieve a uniform temperature distribution.
- this is achieved in an axially flow-through gas turbine according to the preamble of claim 1 in that at least one suction device for the leakage air and part of the cooling air is arranged in the region of the drum labyrinth.
- the ring channel in the area of the suction device is expanded to a collecting space for the leakage or cooling air, because this ensures better suction.
- the suction device consists of a line which is connected on one side to the collecting space for the leakage or cooling air and on the other side to the cooling air extraction ring space in the compressor housing.
- the suction device is advantageously connected to the cooling air devices for the rear turbine stages, because as a result the extracted air is mixed with the cooling air for the rear turbine stages and is therefore usefully used for the process.
- At least one feed to the ring channel is arranged in the part of the rotor drum on the compressor side for part of the cooling air, which feed has at least one swirl nozzle at its respective end.
- the hot leakage air can also be mixed with cooling air, so that the air temperature in this area is reduced to the permissible level.
- the cooling air pressure after the swirl grille is advantageously chosen so that the usual labyrinth seal between the turbine disk and the disk cover can be dispensed with, so that the pressure near the disk is determined by the pressure of the main turbine flow in the gas duct. If the rotor drum labyrinth is damaged, the disc labyrinth is eliminated and the enlarged leakage air is sucked out, which prevents a large increase in pressure on the turbine disc, so that the axial thrust of the rotor changes only slightly. The drum and disc temperatures also remain relatively stable in the case of an increase in the labyrinth clearance.
- FIG. 1 shows that the turbine 1 through which the axial flow flows essentially consists of the rotor 3 equipped with moving blades 2 and the blade carrier 5 equipped with guide blades 4. In Fig. 1 only the first axially flow stage of the turbine 1 is shown.
- the blade carrier 5 is suspended in the turbine housing 6.
- the turbine housing 6 also includes the collecting space 7 for the compressed combustion air.
- the combustion air passes from the collecting space 7 into the annular combustion chamber 8, which opens into the turbine inlet.
- the compressed air flows from the diffuser 9 of the compressor 10 into the collecting space 7.
- the rotor blades of the compressor 10 and the turbine 1 sit on a common shaft 13, the part of which is located between the turbine 1 and the compressor 10 is designed as a drum 14.
- the drum 14 is surrounded by a drum cover 15 which is connected to the diffuser outer housing 17 via ribs 16.
- the wheel side space 19 forms the end of an annular channel 20 which runs between the drum 14 and the drum cover 15.
- a labyrinth seal 21 which seals against the drum cover 15 is arranged in this annular channel 20.
- a line 22 coming from the compressor end for guiding the turbine rotor cooling air opens into the wheel side space 19.
- Swirl nozzles 23 are arranged at their end.
- the swirl nozzle 23 for the main turbine rotor cooling air is preferably arranged on the same radius as the rotor cooling channels 24 or the inlet opening of the rotor cooling channels 24, while one or more further swirl nozzles 23 are arranged at a smaller radial distance from the main turbine axis and for admixing cooling air for the end face 18 of the turbine rotor 3 serve.
- two suction devices 25 for the leakage air and part of the cooling air are arranged in the region of the drum labyrinth 21.
- FIG. 2 shows in detail a possible embodiment variant of the suction device 25.
- the ring channel 20 is expanded to two collecting spaces 26 in the area of the suction devices 25.
- the two suction devices 25 here are lines which are connected on the one hand to the collecting spaces 26 of the leakage air and on the other hand to the cooling air extraction ring spaces 28 in the compressor housing. Lines 22a lead from the cooling air extraction ring spaces 28 to the cooling system of the rear turbine stages.
- the arrangement of the collecting spaces 26 in the drum labyrinth 21 is chosen such that the resulting pressure drop between the spaces 26 and 28 and the cross sections of the lines 25 result in the required amounts of suction air.
- the suction device 25 can also be designed differently.
- a feed 27 to the ring channel 20 can also be arranged in the compressor-side part of the rotor drum 14 for a small part of the cooling air, which also has at least one swirl nozzle 23 at its end facing the ring channel 20.
- the swirl nozzles 23 are acceleration grids with a slight curvature of the skeleton line. The admixture of the cooling air into the hot leakage air mass flow leads to the fact that the air temperature in the compressor-side part of the rotor drum 14 is reduced to an admissible level.
- FIG 3 shows that only one suction device 25 or more than two suction devices 25 for the leakage or cooling air can be arranged.
- the cooling air required for the rotor cooling is removed at the end of the compressor.
- the main part of the rotor cooling air flows via the line 22 and via the swirl nozzle 23 into the wheel side space 19.
- Most of this swirling cooling air flows into the cooling channels 24 of the rotor 3 via the inlet openings located at the same height, while a small proportion between the turbine disk and the disk cover flows into the gas channel of the turbine 1.
- the cooling air pressure after the swirl grille can now be selected so that the labyrinth seal normally arranged between the turbine disk and the disk cover can be dispensed with.
- the pressure near the disc is determined by the pressure of the main turbine flow in the gas duct.
