Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbomachine, in particular an axial flow compressor for a gas turbine, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Gas turbines coupled to generators become converters used by fossil energy in electrical energy.
  • a Gas turbine has to along its rotor shaft a compressor, a combustion chamber and a turbine unit. During operation the gas turbine sucks in the compressor ambient air and compacts them. Subsequently, the compressed air mixed with a fuel and fed to the combustion chamber. There, the mixture burns to a hot working medium and then flows into the turbine unit, in the blades are provided.
  • the attached to the housing of the turbine unit Guide vanes direct the working fluid onto the Rotor attached blades so that these are the rotor in make a rotary motion. The thus recorded rotational energy is then through the generator coupled to the rotor converted into electrical energy. Furthermore, it becomes the drive used the compressor.
  • WO 00/28190 is a gas turbine with a compressor known whose rotor for adjusting the radial gap, which between the tips of the turbine blades and the Inner housing is formed, against the flow direction of the Work medium is moved. This will be the radial column the turbine unit reduced, resulting in a significant Reduction of flow losses in the turbine unit and thus to an increase in efficiency of the gas turbine leads. At the same time, however, the radial gaps in the compressor increases what the flow losses in the compressor elevated. Despite the losses in the compressor, the shift leads of the rotor to a power increase of the gas turbine.
  • the object of the present invention is a turbomachine specify with an axially displaceable rotor whose Flow losses at an axial displacement of the rotor at least not be enlarged.
  • the solution of the task provides that the measure of each radial gap between the end of each blade or vane and the opposite axial portion of the boundary surface constant at least over the displacement of the rotor is and the radial gap parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor runs.
  • the solution is based on the knowledge that the flow losses are not increased when the radial gap between fixed and rotating components remains constant over the displacement of the rotor.
  • the radial gap forming components such as the end of a Runner or vane and the opposite Limiting or guide surface, parallel to the rotor axis of rotation educated. With a displacement of the rotor in the axial direction Thus, the dimension of each radial gap remains constant.
  • the blade is a freestanding blade educated.
  • the end of the blade be designed as squeal, which a guide surface the ring channel opposite, the same time the boundary surface of the annular channel is formed.
  • the vane is a freestanding vane educated.
  • the rotor-facing end of the vane forms the radial gap with the boundary surface.
  • a parallel radial gap is formed when the Vanes of a wreath each at their end more Having platforms which, adjacent one another in the circumferential direction, an outer peripheral surface having the guide surface forms and when facing away from the guide surface Back of the platforms extending in the axial direction Section of the inner boundary surface opposite.
  • the Radial gap is then outside of the tapered flow channel shaped. In this radial gap can then labyrinth seals be arranged, the further pressure losses prevent in the flow medium. A flow around the platforms can thus be avoided.
  • turbomachine as an axial flowed through compressor of a gas turbine.
  • the Axial displacement of the rotor against the flow direction the flow medium leads in the turbine unit to itself decreasing and efficiency-increasing radial gaps, whereas the radial gaps in the compressor remain constant. Flow losses in the compressor are thus despite the shift kept constant of the rotor. Generally this leads to a further increased power output compared to that of the prior art.
  • Fig. 1 shows a gas turbine 1 in a longitudinal partial section. It has a rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 2 inside Rotor 3 on, also called turbine rotor or rotor shaft referred to as. Along the rotor 3 follow one another Intake housing 4, a compressor 5, a toroidal annular combustion chamber 6 with a plurality of coaxially arranged burners 7, a turbine unit 8 and the exhaust housing 9.
  • annular compressor passage 10 is present Seen in the direction of the annular combustion chamber 6 in cross section rejuvenated.
  • a diffuser 11 is arranged, which communicates with the annular combustion chamber 6 is in fluid communication.
  • the annular combustion chamber 6 forms a combustion chamber 12 for a mixture of a Fuel and compressed air.
  • One in the turbine unit 8 arranged hot gas duct 13 is connected to the combustion chamber 12 in flow communication, the hot gas duct 13, the exhaust housing 9 is subordinate.
  • vanes 14 formed Leitschaufelkranz 15 each one out Blades 16 formed blade ring 17.
  • the fixed Guide vanes 14 are one or more Guide vanes 18 connected, whereas the blades 16 are fixed by means of a disc 19 on the rotor 3.
  • the turbine unit 8 has a conically widening Hot gas duct 13, whose outer guide surface 21 itself extended concentrically in the flow direction of the working fluid 20.
  • the inner guide surface 22, however, is substantially aligned parallel to the axis of rotation 2 of the rotor 3.
  • the Blades 16 have at their free ends squint edges 29 on, with the opposite outer guide surfaces 21 forms a radial gap 23.
  • An inlet-side compressor bearing 32 is used in addition to the Axial and radial bearing as adjusting for a Displacement of the rotor. This is to increase performance the gas turbine 1, the rotor 2 in the stationary state of a Starting position in a stationary operating position against the Flow direction of the working fluid 20, in Fig. 1 to the left, postponed. As a result, in the turbine unit 8 of Blades 16 and the outer guide surface 21 formed Radial gap 23 reduced. This leads to a reduction the flow losses in the turbine unit 8 and thus to an increase in efficiency of the gas turbine 1.
