Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gas turbines, and in particular to a dual-flow-channel turbine blast loss testing system and method based on variable frequency control. Background Art

[0002] The reversible gas turbine adopts the design concept of double gas channels + double-layer turbine blades, and the outer channel is the reversing channel. The inner channel is the forward channel, and the gas flow route is distributed through the gas switching mechanism at the front end. When the gas only flows through the lower forward blades, the turbine rotor rotates forward, and when the gas only flows through the upper reverse blades, the turbine rotor rotates reversely. In most operating conditions, the reversible gas turbine only uses the forward function. At this time, when the gas flows through the forward channel and drives the forward blades to work, there is no gas flowing through the reverse blade position, and the reverse blade is in a reverse rotation state. In this state, the reverse blade continuously stirs the nearby gas, generating a large amount of disordered and chaotic gas flow on the surface of the reverse blade, thereby causing power loss. The lost power is the blast loss caused by the reversal of the reverse blade. The existence of blast loss reduces the power output of the forward turbine to the outside and affects the overall efficiency of the gas turbine.

[0003] Due to its shape and structure, the double-channel turbine needs to take into account the additional power consumption caused by the reverse rotation of the blades, i.e., the blast loss, when determining its operating characteristics. This parameter needs to be measured with the help of certain test methods. Since there is little research on the structure of the double-channel turbine, there is a lack of similar test device design in the prior art. Summary of the invention

It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiment of the present invention provides a double-channel turbine blast loss test system based on variable frequency control, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the system specifically includes: a variable frequency motor 101, a torque meter 201, a dual-channel turbine 301, a bearing seat 501, and a base 601.

[0040] The dual-channel turbine 301 is rotationally connected to the variable frequency motor 101 through the torque meter 201, and the main shafts of the components are adjusted and aligned.

The first blind plate 304 is located at the gas inlet of the double-channel turbine 301 and is arranged vertically; the second blind plate 305 is located at the exhaust gas outlet of the double-channel turbine 301 and is arranged horizontally, so that the double-channel turbine 301 maintains overall air tightness.

[0044] A hole is opened on one of the blind plates to install an air pipe joint, a pressure gauge and a valve. Before starting the test, the turbine is inflated through the air pipe joint to increase the air pressure so that the blast loss test under different pressures can be achieved.

[0045] The first blind plate 304 and the second blind plate 305 are made of stainless steel, with polished end faces and gaskets installed to adjust the gap between them and the dual-channel turbine 301. The dual-channel turbine 301 also includes: a secondary channel guide vane 302 and a primary channel guide vane 303.

[0046] The secondary flow channel guide vane 302 is compressed and installed to the turbine through the first blind plate 304 and bolts, and the primary flow channel guide vane 303 is fixed to the first blind plate 304 through bolts.

[0047] The system uses foaming material during the test process. When the main flow condition is tested, the main flow guide vane 303 cascade is blocked, and when the secondary flow condition is tested, the secondary flow guide vane 302 cascade is blocked.

[0055] 7. Slowly adjust the frequency converter of the variable frequency motor 101 to steadily increase the speed;

[0056] 8. After reaching the predetermined frequency and the speed stabilizes, record the data measured by the torque meter 201;

[0057] 9. After completing the experiments at various speed conditions, remove the plugging and use a degumming agent to remove the residual glue.

[0058] Next, the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0059] The present invention provides a dual-channel turbine blast loss test system based on variable frequency control. The system adopts a structure in which a variable frequency motor 101 is connected to a torque meter 201 and a dual-channel turbine 301. The motor drives the turbine to rotate, and the turbine speed can be adjusted. The power consumption and torque of the turbine at different speeds are measured to obtain the blast loss parameters.

[0060] The system includes a variable frequency motor 101, a bearing seat 501, and a coupling 401. The dual-channel turbine 301 is rotationally connected to the variable frequency motor 101 through a torque meter 201, wherein: when the variable frequency motor 101 rotates, the bearing seat 501 can ensure centering and free rotation, and transmit the torque to the dual-channel turbine 301 through couplings 401 and 402 to drive it to rotate. The torque meter 201 on the shaft can measure the resistance torque and speed of the turbine during rotation. Through the present invention, the additional power consumption generated by the turbine blades during rotation due to the multi-channel design and the double-layer blade structure under different pressures, speeds and rotation directions can be measured. Among them, the multi-channel turbine 301 can be a single-stage or multi-stage axial flow turbine, adopting an axial intake and radial exhaust design.

[0061] Furthermore, the variable frequency motor 101, the bearing seat 501, the torque meter 201 and the dual-channel turbine 301 should be fixed on the same base, and the main shafts of the various components should be adjusted and aligned. The test bench requires the high-speed rotation of the device, and should meet the lubricating oil supply of the bearing seat 501 and the dual-channel turbine 301, such as the lubricating oil grade and lubricating oil pressure, etc. The power supply should meet the power supply requirements of the variable frequency motor 101 and the instrument power supply requirements of the torque meter 201.

[0062] The various parts are connected by couplings 401 and 402, wherein the coupling is preferably a bellows coupling, which can be sacrificed in the event of a failure to achieve overall protection of the test piece and the device.

[0063] More specifically, the variable frequency motor 101 is preferably controllable by a frequency converter, so as to adjust the rotation speed of the dual-channel turbine 301. The different frequency AC output by the frequency converter corresponds to different rotation speeds of the variable frequency motor 101, and the actual rotation speed is measured by the torque meter 201.

[0064] The double-channel turbine 301 also includes a secondary channel guide vane 302 and a main channel guide vane 303. The secondary channel guide vane 302 is installed to the turbine through the first blind plate 304 and bolts, and the main channel guide vane 303 is fixed to the first blind plate 304 by bolts. Preferably, the gap between the plate cover and the double-channel turbine 301 is adjusted by a gasket, so that the requirements for the guide vane gap in the turbine design can be met, so that the present invention can more accurately measure the turbine under working conditions. Preferably, the blind plates 304 and 305 are made of stainless steel, the end faces are polished and installed with gaskets to achieve the overall airtightness of the turbine. A hole is opened on one of the blind plates to install an air pipe joint, a pressure gauge and a valve. Before starting the test, the air pressure in the turbine is increased by inflating the air pipe joint to achieve the test of the blast loss under different pressures.

[0065] The torque meter 201 should be a high speed model to ensure accurate testing of the turbine torque.

[0066] More specifically, during the test, it is necessary to use a lightweight foam material, such as polyurethane foam, to block the moving blade cascade of the dual-flow channel turbine 301. The specific operation is to block the moving blade cascade of the main flow channel when testing the main flow channel condition, and to block the moving blade cascade of the secondary flow channel when testing the secondary flow channel condition. The purpose is to prevent the cascade from doing work on the air and thus affecting the measurement.

[0067] The embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-channel turbine blast loss testing system and method based on variable frequency control. The turbine is driven to rotate by a motor, and the turbine speed can be adjusted. The power consumption and torque of the turbine at different speeds are measured to obtain the blast loss parameters.
