Definitions

• the invention relates to a turbomachine with a temp
• Turbomachines are used to relax or compress gases.
• high pressure inlet gases are introduced into the turbine and relax there, giving energy to the rotor.
• Compressors in turn serve to compress air or other gases to ultimate pressures of up to 100 bar and more. This aggressive gases can be compressed, which should not get into the environment.
• turbomachinery are sealed so that their operating gases can not escape or only slightly through the gaps between the shaft and housing to the outside.
• the bearings of the shaft are oil lubricated, which bearing lubricating oil is located within bearing housings of the bearing blocks. Leakage steam from the turbine housing and radiant heat from the turbine housing can result in undesirable heating of the bearing lubricating oil in the bearing housings of the bearing blocks. To counteract this heating, GB 219 016 A provides protective covers bolted to the bearing housings, each of which has water cooling. It is an object of the invention to provide a turbomachine with which a reliable shaft seal can be achieved.
• a turbomachine of the aforementioned type in which at least one of the covers has a tempering means guided around the shaft for tempering the cover in the region around the shaft. A temperature-related movement of the cover and shaft to each other can be counteracted.
• turbomachines are subjected to gases, the temperature of which may differ in some cases considerably from the housing temperature of the turbomachine.
• gases the temperature of which may differ in some cases considerably from the housing temperature of the turbomachine.
• a turbine is charged with a hot gas that relaxes in the turbine. Accordingly, some elements of the turbine are more heated by the hot gas than others.
• compressors again, it is possible for extremely cold gases to be introduced and compressed, so that they cool the housing considerably at the point of inflow.
• different elements of the turbomachine cool at different speeds. This also applies to the two axial covers of the housing, which cool or heat relatively quickly and strongly relative to the shaft and the housing.
• a shaft seal between the shaft and the axial lugs stored, for example, a labyrinth seal or a fluid seal, which has a gap between its rotating part on the shaft and static part on the lid. If such a cooling or heating affects the sealing area, this can lead to disadvantages with regard to the sealing.
• the Gap should be as small as possible, but it must be just large enough to avoid abutment of the elements in the operation of the shaft. If the cover cools down around the shaft, it contracts so that the gap grows so that the seal gets worse. The other way round, the gap shrinks when the cover heats up considerably, eg at the gas outlet side of a compressor. In this case, to avoid knocking, the gap must be selected so that it is sufficiently large at all permitted operating temperatures of the lid. As a result, the sealing gap must be relatively large, which is detrimental to a good seal.
• 100 K can move several millimeters. Such temperature movements are more difficult to solve by a good thermal insulation of the lid and a clever dimensioning of the sealing gap in such a way that a good seal of the shaft is achieved.
• the lid of During operation large machines are heated in the area around the shaft in such a way that the gap changes little during operation, so that its dimensions remain close to an optimum gap thickness for the sealing.
• On a complex thermal insulation of the lid can be dispensed with or the insulation effort can be kept low.
• the temperature control medium may be a heating medium and / or a coolant. Conveniently, it can be used both for cooling and for heating. This is particularly advantageous in the case of a compressor, since in this case the housing cover at the gas inlet cools due to the entry of cold gases and the
• Housing cover at the gas outlet is heated by escaping hot gases.
• the temperature control which is suitably operated in both lids in the same way, the housing cover can be heated at the gas inlet and the
• the turbomachine may be a relaxation machine, such as a turbine, or a compressor, for example a turbocompressor, in particular a one-shaft radial compressor.
• the composite may contain, in addition to the cover and the rotor, further elements, for example a flow guide, in particular a constraintsleitapparat.
• the temperature control means is guided around a shaft seal, which is arranged between the cover and the shaft.
• the shaft seal can be protected from all sides by the externally acting undesirable temperature, heat or cold.
• a tempering of the lid in particular the sealing area of the lid around the shaft around, can be done in several ways. Heating coils can be used, but their electricity must be well shielded. The use of heating pads is possible, but well sealed and must be pressure-resistant. It is particularly advantageous, if the temperature control means has a first temperature control channel in the cover, which fluidly with a
• Temperier troukeitsreservoir is connected. In this way, tempering liquid can be brought to a desired temperature and passed around the shaft or the shaft seal, where it gives off its heat or cold.
• a tempering liquid which can be any meaningful liquid.
• bearing oil is used as the tempering liquid provided for supporting the shaft, then the bearing oil is used for a number of purposes, so that it is possible to dispense with a further liquid reservoir and an additional liquid temperature control agent.
• the temperature control channel is incorporated lengthwise directly into the cover, so that the
• Temperature control fluid flows directly through the lid.
• the tempering channel incorporated into the inner side of the lid. Since this comes directly in connection with the operating gas, it is particularly cold or hot, so that the lid from there strongly cools down or heated. If the tempering channel is incorporated into the inner side of the lid, this undesirable effect of temperature can be counteracted particularly effectively.
• On the inner side of the lid may be a Strömungsleitapparat, which may be an explicatleitapparat or a Austrittsleitapparat.
• the temperature control means has a second temperature control channel arranged radially outside the first temperature control channel.
• Temperature control can be directly connected to the first temperature control, so that a flow through both channels takes place successively, or be separated, so that, for example, a parallel flow occurs.
• the tempering channel is open-ring guided around the shaft.
• the ring must be open to allow an inlet and an outlet.
• tempering channel-free gap Through this opening of the ring, which is referred to below as tempering channel-free gap, heat or cold can penetrate radially from the outside into the inner region of the channel and thus to the shaft seal.
• the second tempering channel is guided around the first tempering channel such that a tangential gap free of tempering channel in the region of the first tempering channel is shielded radially outwardly from the second tempering channel.
• Temperiernewkeit from Temperier verskeitsreservoir first through the radially inner tempering and from there into the radially outer Temperierkanal flows before it returns to the Temperier modernkeitsreservoir.
• Temperature control channels has a longer extent in the axial direction and the other of the temperature control channels a longer extent in the radial direction. With a longer extension in the axial direction, a radial shield and at a longer extension in the radial direction axial shielding can be achieved.
• the radially outer tempering channel has a longer extent in the axial direction and the radially inner tempering channel has a longer extent in the radial direction. As a result, the radially innermost region can be shielded most effectively against heat or cold from an inlet guide device.
• a gas supply for a shaft seal is guided radially between two temperature control channels of the temperature control.
• gas guided to the shaft seal can be kept at a desired temperature, thus maintaining a good seal.
• the shaft seal may be a gas or oil-operated fluid seal. Also a labyrinth seal is possible.
