Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of impulse turbine generators, and in particular to an impulse turbine generator shaft system structure with an end air return function. Background Art

[0002] my country's impulse turbine generator sets are moving towards large capacity, high speed, high altitude operating environment, and high head hydrological conditions; the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the third step of my country's geographical unit, is generally above 4,000 meters above sea level. There is still huge potential for hydropower development in the western Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other deep areas. The transmission of electricity from Tibet and the transmission of electricity from west to east will help the hydropower development and construction work in the region. The shaft system of the hydropower generator set bears all the axial loads of the generator rotor and transmits the huge torque generated by the high-speed rotation of the impulse turbine under the impact of the water flow. It is an important system to maintain the safe and stable operation of the hydropower generator set. According to the feedback from the operation of conventional vertical giant hydropower generator sets, there are problems of heat accumulation and overflow at the end of the unit shaft system; the traditional air cooling passage has dead zones and blind spots, which will cause heat accumulation and uneven heat distribution in the unit, resulting in damage to the unit's stable operation and operating environment. How to combine the parameter characteristics and operating environment requirements of large impulse turbine generator sets to design a shaft system structure with stable structure and air cooling circulation effect is a huge challenge for the entire project. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shaft system structure that can meet the requirements of stable operation of the turbine unit, optimize the air circulation path, and improve the air cooling effect.
