Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of turbine component transient state testing technology, specifically relating to a turbine component transient state testing inlet and outlet pressure simulation system and method. Background Technology
[0002] Turbines are the core hot-end components of aero engines and gas turbines. The internal flow, heat transfer, and geometry changes during the transition state are extremely complex, making them the part facing the highest risks.
[0003] Conducting transient state tests on turbine components can directly obtain effective data on changes in aerodynamic, thermodynamic, and structural parameters during the turbine's transient state, which can be used to support the matching design of aero engines and gas turbines.
[0004] In a complete machine environment, the turbine's inlet pressure is affected by upstream components such as the combustion chamber, and its outlet pressure is affected by downstream components such as the nozzle. Both the inlet and outlet pressures change according to a certain pattern and have instantaneous characteristics in the transition state. When conducting turbine component transition state tests, it is necessary to quickly regulate the turbine's inlet and outlet pressures and simulate the turbine's inlet and outlet pressures according to the instantaneous change curve.
[0005] Currently, when conducting transient tests on turbine components, pneumatic valves are often installed in the intake manifold. The turbine inlet pressure is adjusted by controlling the opening and closing stroke time of these valves. However, this technical approach has the following drawbacks:
[0006] 1) Simply controlling the opening and closing rate of the pneumatic valves on the intake pipe to regulate the turbine inlet pressure is insufficient to accurately reproduce the transient change law of the turbine inlet pressure under the overall machine environment, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the test results.
[0007] 2) The turbine outlet pressure was not actively controlled, and the outlet pressure changes significantly with the overall machine environment, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability of the test results.
[0008] This application is made in view of the aforementioned technical deficiencies.

[0046] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0047] On the one hand, a system for simulating the inlet and outlet pressures of turbine components during transient testing is provided, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0048] The intake pipe 1 has an inlet end connected to a high-pressure air source and an outlet end connected to the inlet of turbine 19. An intake regulating valve 3 and an inlet pressure sensor 4 are sequentially installed on it.
[0049] Exhaust pipe 2, whose outlet end is connected to the outlet of turbine 19, and an outlet pressure sensor 5 and an ejector 6 are sequentially installed on it.
[0050] The venting pipe 7 has its inlet end connected to the intake pipe 1 and is located upstream of the intake regulating valve 3. A venting regulating valve 8 is installed on it.
[0051] The ejector pipe 9 has its inlet end connected to the air intake pipe 1 and is located upstream of the air intake regulating valve 3, and its outlet is connected to the ejector hole of the ejector 6.
[0052] Monitor 10 is connected to intake regulating valve 3 and exhaust regulating valve 8. It can be configured and controlled according to the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve to control the opening of intake regulating valve 3 and exhaust regulating valve 8. It is also connected to inlet pressure sensor 4 and outlet pressure sensor 5 to monitor the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of turbine 19. The acquisition frequency of inlet pressure sensor 4 and outlet pressure sensor 5 is >100HZ.
[0053] Regarding the turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that the opening of the intake regulating valve 3 and the exhaust regulating valve 8 can be controlled by configuring the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve, thereby controlling the flow rate of the intake pipe 1 and the exhaust pipe 2. This allows for rapid regulation of the turbine 19 inlet and outlet pressures during the turbine component transition state test, simulating the transient changes in the inlet and outlet pressures of the turbine 19 under the overall machine environment during the transition state, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the test. The method for determining the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve can be specifically referred to the turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation method disclosed in this application.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, in the above-mentioned turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system, the intake regulating valve 3 and the exhaust regulating valve 8 are fast-response hydraulic valves composed of a valve control system, a hydraulic servo valve, a hydraulic rotary cylinder, a valve plate, etc., with a control cycle ≤50ms and a response speed ≤0.5s.
[0055] In a fast-response hydraulic valve, the valve plate opening is controlled by a rotary cylinder. The opening control curve is configured by the monitor 10 and sent to the valve control system. The opening control curve is converted into a control signal, which drives the hydraulic servo valve to achieve fast and high-precision action of the rotary cylinder with hydraulic oil, so that the valve plate opening is highly consistent with the opening control curve.
[0056] In some alternative embodiments, in the aforementioned turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system, the ejector 6, as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes:
[0057] The contraction section 11 has ejection holes on its sidewalls;
[0058] The mixing chamber 12 has its inlet connected to the outlet of the contraction section 11;
[0059] The diffuser section 20 has its inlet connected to the outlet of the mixing chamber 12.
[0060] The intake pipe 13 is constricted, and its outlet extends through the constriction section 11 into the mixing chamber 12. It is connected to the constriction section 11 and is arranged on the exhaust pipe 2 along with the constriction section 11, the mixing chamber 12, and the diffuser section 20.
[0061] Regarding the turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that the airflow in the ejector pipe 9 can be used as ejector gas, which enters the annular gap between the contraction section 11 and the contraction intake pipe 13 through the ejector hole or ejector annular gap, and is accelerated, so that it can be injected into the mixing chamber 12 at an extremely high speed, causing the turbine 19 outlet to flow out and be discharged through the exhaust pipe 2. The airflow entering the contraction intake pipe 13 is entrained into the mixing chamber 12 under shear action. The two airflows exchange momentum and energy in the mixing chamber 12, and gradually form a single uniform mixed airflow that flows out through the diffuser section 20.
[0062] For the turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system disclosed in the above embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that its design uses an annular outflowing ejector airflow to eject the airflow discharged from the turbine 19 outlet from the outer periphery with shearing and entrainment action, which can reduce the resistance of the airflow discharged from the turbine 19 outlet, has high ejector sensitivity, and ensures rapid following between the ejector discharge airflow and the ejector airflow, thereby enabling rapid adjustment of the turbine 19 outlet pressure.
[0063] In some optional embodiments, in the above-described turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system, a filter 14, a heater 15, and a flow meter 16 are sequentially installed on the intake pipe 1, wherein,
[0064] Filter 14 and heater 15 are located upstream of vent pipe 7 and ejector pipe 9;
[0065] The flow meter 16 is located downstream of the venting pipe 7 and the ejector pipe 9, and upstream of the inlet regulating valve 3.
[0066] The monitor 10 is connected to the heater 15 so as to control the airflow temperature in the intake pipe 1;
[0067] The monitor 10 is connected to the flow meter 16 to monitor the inlet flow of the turbine 19.
[0068] In some optional embodiments, in the above-described turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system, an ejector regulating valve 17 is provided on the ejector line 9;
[0069] The monitor 10 is connected to the ejector control valve 17 so as to control the opening degree of the ejector control valve 17.
[0070] In some optional embodiments, the above-described turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system further includes:
[0071] The muffler 18 is connected to the outlet of the exhaust pipe 2 and the vent pipe 7.
[0072] On the other hand, a method for simulating the inlet and outlet pressures of turbine components during transient testing is provided, including:
[0073] Control the opening of the intake regulating valve 3 and the exhaust regulating valve 8 so that the monitored inlet pressure and outlet pressure of turbine 19 match the initial pressure of the instantaneous change curve of inlet pressure and outlet pressure of turbine 19 under transient state.
[0074] Configure the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve to control the opening of the intake regulating valve 3 and the exhaust regulating valve 8, and monitor the inlet pressure and outlet pressure of the turbine 19 in real time.
[0075] If the real-time monitoring of the changes in the inlet and outlet pressures of turbine 19 does not match the instantaneous change curves of the inlet and outlet pressures under the transition state of turbine 19, then the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve should be reconfigured to control the opening of intake regulating valve 3 and exhaust regulating valve 8 until the real-time monitoring of the changes in the inlet and outlet pressures of turbine 19 matches the instantaneous change curves of the inlet and outlet pressures under the transition state of turbine 19. Subsequently, in the turbine component transition state test, the opening of intake regulating valve 3 and exhaust regulating valve 8 can be controlled according to the final intake regulating valve opening control curve and exhaust regulating valve opening control curve to highly reproduce the actual instantaneous changes in the turbine's inlet and outlet pressures under the whole machine environment, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the test results. In a specific embodiment, the intake regulating valve opening control curve and the exhaust regulating valve opening control curve are designed as follows: Figure 3 As shown, during the regulation of the inlet and outlet pressures of turbine 2, the ejector regulating valve 17 can be controlled to remain at an appropriate opening degree, or it can be adjusted slightly according to the actual situation.

For specific details, please refer to the relevant description of the turbine component transition state test inlet and outlet pressure simulation system.
