AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing ORC expander unit overspeed protection device relies on electronic overspeed protection, which is insufficient and cannot effectively prevent the unit from operating at overspeed.

Method used

An overspeed protection and alarm device for ORC turbine machinery was designed, including a tripping component, a flyweight component, and an alarm component. It utilizes a pneumatic normally closed valve and a solenoid valve in cooperation. When the unit is overspeeding, the flyweight component strikes the valve stem, causing it to move to the pressure relief position, thereby closing the quick-closing valve. The alarm component then issues an alarm.

Benefits of technology

When the ORC expander is running at overspeed, it can be stopped in time, improving the safety and protection of the unit.

[0026] The upper valve body 5 and the lower valve body 4 are fixedly connected and located at the side of the lower valve body 4, and the upper valve body 5 has an air inlet 14 and an air outlet 15; the valve rod 6 is arranged inside the upper valve body 5 and the lower valve body 4; the impact head 7 is threadedly connected with the valve rod 6 and located at one end of the valve rod 6; the ball bearing 8 is arranged between the lower valve body 4 and the valve rod 6; the handle 9 is threadedly connected with the valve rod 6 and located at the end of the valve rod 6 away from the impact head 7; the oil-containing bearing 10 is arranged between the valve rod 6 and the handle 9; the half-round head screw 11 is threadedly connected with the handle 9 and located at the side of the handle 9; the first spring 12 is arranged inside the handle 9, and the steel ball 13 is arranged inside the handle 9; the fly hammer assembly 2 is arranged at the side of the impact head 7, and the alarm assembly 3 is arranged at the side of the air outlet 15.

[0027] In the embodiment, the quick closing valve of the ORC turbine unit adopts a pneumatic normally closed valve. When working, the valve is opened by switching the electromagnetic valve to connect the 0.5 MPa compressed air inlet pipe and the spring in the compressed air cylinder. At the same time, the compressed air inlet pipe after the electromagnetic valve is connected to the inlet 14 of the cutoff assembly 1 on the ORC expander shell. The valve rod 6 of the cutoff assembly 1 is in the pressure maintaining position (quick closing valve open state), and the valve rod 6 is pulled out by the handle 9 to be in the pressure relief position (quick closing valve closed state). When the emergency cutoff valve rod 6 is in the pressure maintaining position, the compressed air presses the valve rod 6 tightly against the abutting surface, forming a pressure maintaining dead space.

[0044] The ORC turbine super-speed protection and alarm device of the application is characterized in that: the speed closing valve of the ORC turbine unit is a pneumatic normally closed valve, which is opened by the compressed air in the air cylinder through the spring when the electromagnetic valve is switched to connect the 0.5Mpa.a compressed air inlet pipe, and the compressed air inlet pipe after the electromagnetic valve is connected to the air inlet 14 of the blocking assembly 1 on the ORC expander shell, the valve rod 6 of the blocking assembly 1 is in the pressure maintaining position (the speed closing valve is opened) and is pulled out by the handle 9 to be in the pressure releasing position (the speed closing valve is closed).
