Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbomachine comprising a housing comprising an upper housing part, a lower housing part and a flow channel arranged in the housing, wherein the Strö ⁇ flow channel has a Strömungskanalabdampf syndromem, wherein the housing part via screws ver ⁇ bindable to the lower housing part, wherein the screw is designed as a stud and a cooling channel formed along the axial direction of the stud, the cooling passage having a cooling passage inlet and a cooling passage outlet.
  • steam turbines In steam power plants, steam turbines are used, which apply an electrical output of up to 1,600 megawatts Kings ⁇ nen. For thermodynamic reasons, a steam turbine is divided into so-called sub-turbines, which have a common shaft.
  • the high-pressure turbine part comprises a réellege ⁇ housing, which consists of an upper part and a lower part and is held together by means of screw connections. Due to the high temperatures and the temporal behavior of the temperature change, time- and temperature-dependent relaxations occur. As a result, it is possible that the tension of the housing and thus the tightness during operation diminishes, which can lead to leakage and is accompanied by a loss of efficiency.
  • a turbomachine umfas ⁇ send a housing of an upper housing part, a housing ⁇ lower part and, disposed in the housing flow channel, said flow channel having a Strömungskanalabdampf syndromem, wherein the upper housing part by means of screws with the Ge ⁇ koruseunterteil is connectable, said screw is designed as a pin ⁇ screw and has a trained along the axial direction of the stud screw cooling channel where ⁇ at the cooling channel has a cooling duct inlet and adekanal- outlet, wherein the cooling duct inlet is Strömungstech ⁇ nisch connected to the flow channel, thedekanalauslass aerodynamically is connected to the Strömungskanalab ⁇ steam room.
  • the invention proposes to use a known cooling hole in the stud bolts used for the screw, which is supplied on the one hand with a vapor located in the flow channel and on the other hand ⁇ connected via adekanalauslass with the Strömungskanalab ⁇ steam room.
  • the steam from the flow channel has a higher pressure than the steam in Strömungskanalabdampfhoffm so that a forced flow through the cooling channel in the stud has resulted, resulting in a kuh ⁇ ment of the screw as a whole.
  • the stud bolt comprises a nut, wherein the nut comprises cooling channel slots, which fluidly connects the cooling passage with the flow channel evaporation chamber.
  • the lower housing part has a bore which connects the cooling channel inlet with the Strö mungskanal.
  • This bore can be performed in an axial direction of the upper and lower housing upper part. It is important that at a suitable location, the bore has a flow ⁇ technical connection that provides the appropriate steam for the cooling steam.
  • FIG. 2 upper housing part FIG. 3 lower housing part
  • FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a nut according to the invention
  • Figure 5 is a schematic side view of the housing upper ⁇ part and the lower housing part.

  • the Ge housing upper part 1 and the lower housing part 2 together a housing which is used in a turbomachine, not shown.
  • a flow channel is angeord ⁇ net (not shown).
  • blades and vanes are arranged, which convert the thermal energy Ener ⁇ a vapor into rotational energy of a rotor.
  • the upper housing part 1 and the lower housing part 2 are connected to one another via screws 3.
  • the screw 3 is designed as a stud, which means that the screw has by no 3 nen screw head, but a Ge ⁇ threaded at both ends.
  • a cooling channel 4 is formed, which is connected to a cooling channel inlet 5 and a cooling channel outlet 6 on the one hand.
  • a steam flowing in the cooling channel inlet 5 will flow through the cooling channel 4 in the axial direction through the stud bolt and thereby cool the stud.
  • the cooling steam enters the cooling channel outlet 6.
  • a slot 8 is arranged in the nut 7, through which the steam can flow into the cooling channel outlet 6.
  • Thedekanalauslass 6 is fluidly connected via a first fluid ⁇ technical connection 9 with the Strömungskanalabdampf syndromem (not shown in detail).
  • Thedekanalauslass 6 is fluidically connected via a between the stud and the housing, in particular hous ⁇ seoberteil 1 arranged screw cooling channel 14 with the flow channel evacuation chamber.
  • the channel inlet is connected to the flow channel via a second fluidic connection 10, expediently a fluidic connection after a blade stage is realized, in which the steam parameters are ideal for adeka ⁇ nalnikank.
  • FIG. 3 shows the housing lower part 2 with the second fluidic connection 10 and the cooling channel inlet 5.
