TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of steam turbine of thermal power plant, and relates to a steam turbine blade water erosion experimental device and method, in particular to an experimental device and method suitable for water erosion of different blades of low-pressure last three stages of a steam turbine. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, in order to accommodate new energy, deep peak shaving of most steam turbines is common, and the steam turbine needs to be operated at different loads. Under different loads, especially under low load, the working environment of the low-pressure last three stages of the steam turbine is relatively poor, and the last three stages of the steam turbine are prone to water erosion. Small pits and pockmarks appear on the surface of the last three stages of the steam turbine, and over a long period of time, the blade may even be broken, which seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of the steam turbine. Therefore, in order to study the water erosion mechanism of the last three stages of different blades of the steam turbine, an experimental device and method suitable for water erosion of different blades of the low-pressure last three stages of the steam turbine are designed, which provides a theoretical basis for the safe operation and protection of the last stage blades of the steam turbine.
[0003] CN100575917C discloses a steam turbine blade water erosion test device, which uses the collision between high-speed rotating blades and water droplets to simulate the water erosion of the blades caused by the high-speed impact of water droplets on the blades in the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine; CN201653838U discloses a water erosion test device, which simulates the water erosion suffered by the last stage blades of the steam turbine through the collision between high-pressure pulse water jet and the test piece; CN102252927B discloses a high-pressure water jet rotary impact water erosion experimental device, which simulates the erosion of water droplets on the blades in the steam turbine through the collision between high-speed jet and rotating test piece; and CN113267416B discloses a nuclear power plant steam turbine blade dynamic water erosion experimental device, which can realize accelerated experiment of the water erosion process of the nuclear power steam turbine blades.
[0004] In summary, the existing steam turbine low-pressure blade water erosion experimental device does not involve the last three stages of blades, and cannot consider the mutual influence between the last three stages of blades. Moreover, only blade samples of different sizes and models can be installed in the experimental device, real blades of multiple sizes and models cannot be used for experiment, and the real flow of steam entering the flow passage and the flow field structure of real steam cannot be considered.
