Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydropower technology, specifically relating to a hydraulic test device and control method for a bidirectional spiral turbine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, research on hydropower technology mainly focuses on the performance optimization of traditional hydropower equipment and the design and development of new hydropower equipment. Unlike traditional hydropower, new hydropower equipment often operates in remote areas with low head and low flow velocity. Therefore, its design requirements often necessitate features such as environmental friendliness, simple structure, easy installation, and stable operation.
[0003] As a typical environmentally friendly type of water turbine, the screw turbine has diverse structural forms, but it generally features a blade shape based on the Archimedean spiral. This effectively handles changes in internal pressure and velocity gradients while also reducing the probability of injury from fish collisions. Compared to conventional constant-diameter screw turbines, variable-diameter screw turbines operate under more diverse conditions and exhibit more complex internal and external characteristics.
[0004] In existing technologies, numerical simulation is usually used to calculate and analyze the operating conditions of various types of screw turbines in order to improve the working performance of screw turbines at low cost and in a short period of time. However, numerical simulation results for some operating conditions have large errors and lack experimental verification. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an effective hydraulic test device for screw turbines to analyze and evaluate their performance. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The water storage tank is fixed to the lower part of the structural steel frame. The volume of the water storage tank is not less than twice the volume of the upstream water storage tank. It is used to store the circulating water during normal operation of the test device. The cofferdam partition and the water-passing grid are both arranged in the water storage tank. The water-passing grid is distributed between the outlet of the downstream circulation pipeline and the cofferdam partition to stabilize the water flow through the cofferdam partition.

The flow rate can be measured once based on the relationship curve between the valve flow coefficient and the valve opening. Part of the water flow in the upstream tank enters the bidirectional test section of the turbine through the circulation pipeline, while another part flows out through the overflow plate and then enters the downstream tank through the return cavity. The formula for calculating the flow rate in one measurement is as follows:

[0032] In the formula: C v Where is the valve's flow coefficient; N1 is a constant, taken as 0.0865; F p This is the pipeline geometry coefficient, which is set to 1 when the control valve diameter matches the pipeline diameter. P v The static pressure difference of the valve; This represents the density of the fluid under the current pressure and temperature conditions. The density of water at 15℃;
[0033] Step 3: The bidirectional test section of the water turbine is submerged in the water flow. The built-in motor controller controls the motor to drive the spiral water turbine runner to run at a specified speed, and monitors the shaft torque T and speed n signal parameters.
[0034] Step four: After passing through the bidirectional test section of the turbine, the water flows into the downstream water tank via the downstream circulation pipeline. After being stabilized by the water grid, it further flows through the cofferdam baffle. After reading the water level height upstream of the cofferdam baffle, the flow rate is measured a second time using the following formula:
[0035]
[0036]
[0037] In the formula, m is the flow coefficient of the cofferdam diaphragm, which can be determined experimentally; k is the contraction coefficient of the water tongue at the top of the weir. The velocity coefficient of the weir; is the ratio of the average pressure head to the total head at the weir crest cross section; g is the local gravitational acceleration; H0 is the dynamic pressure head upstream of the cofferdam diaphragm.
[0038] Step 5: The control component compares the results of the first and second flow measurements. If the relative error of the flow is within 5%, the average of the first and second flow measurements is taken as the flow rate Q. Otherwise, the test condition should be repeated.
[0039] Step six: After obtaining parameters such as head H, flow rate Q, torque T, and rotational speed n under the test conditions, determine the efficiency of the screw turbine under the current operating conditions. The calculation is performed using the following formula:
[0040] .
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0042] 1. The water flow in the test device can be circulated through the upstream water tank, circulation pipeline and downstream water tank. The external conditions of the spiral turbine can be changed according to the control components such as the overflow plate of the upstream water tank and the flow valve, so that the model spiral turbine can be tested under different working conditions such as head and flow rate.
[0043] 2. Considering the bidirectional flow of the spiral turbine, the turbine is connected to the upstream and downstream circulation pipelines via connecting flanges on both sides of the bidirectional test section. By changing the connection direction between the turbine test section and the circulation pipeline, forward and reverse hydraulic tests of the spiral turbine can be achieved, thus expanding the operating condition range of the spiral turbine model test.
[0044] 3. By using the flow coefficient characteristics of the flow valve and the flow measurement of the rectangular cofferdam in the downstream water tank, secondary measurement and calibration of the flow can be achieved during the test, ensuring the accuracy of the flow data obtained through the bidirectional test section of the turbine in the test device.
[0045] 4. By collecting data from various parts of the control components, the operating parameters of the spiral turbine under various test conditions, such as the operating head, flow rate, torque, and speed, can be obtained. This allows for the evaluation and analysis of the external characteristics of the spiral turbine. Furthermore, by observing the bidirectional test section of the turbine using colorants or laser particle methods, a qualitative study of the hydraulic characteristics during the operation of the spiral turbine can be conducted.
