Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of flexible pipes, and in particular to a flexible pipe for cooling a gas turbine rotor and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of gas turbine technology, the ultra-high thermal efficiency of gas turbines is the pursuit of new units. In order to improve the overall thermal efficiency of the gas turbine, the temperature before the turbine is also increasing. The turbine blades are in an extremely high temperature environment. At present, the increase in the allowable temperature of the material alone can no longer meet the actual use needs. It is required that the turbine blades must adopt a new air film cooling method. The cooling air for the turbine blades generally comes from the compressor exhaust. As the cooling requirements become higher and higher, the exhaust volume demand is also increasing under the condition of a certain exhaust temperature, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine.

[0003] Therefore, a method of extracting air from the compressor and cooling it externally before cooling the turbine rotor and blades is widely used. This method can not only improve the cooling efficiency, but also avoid the influence of the exhaust flow rate on the overall efficiency. The inevitable problem of this cooling method is how to effectively introduce the cooled compressor exhaust air into the rotor. Existing solutions include Figure 1 As shown, the combustion cylinder a2 and the torque tube cover a3 are connected by the support rib a31 on the torque tube cover. The air is extracted from the compressor exhaust chamber through the turbine cylinder b1, cooled by the cooler d1, and transported to the rotor cooling chamber through the combustion cylinder a2 and the torque tube cover a3 through the flexible tube e to cool the rotor c1.

[0004] In the scheme where the air from the compressor exhaust chamber is extracted and cooled by an external cooler before being cooled by the turbine rotor, the cooling air needs to pass through the double-layer cylinder of the combustion cylinder a2 and the torque tube cover a3, and is arranged at the compressor outlet. The flexible tube e that transmits the cooling air is in a harsh working environment. At the same time, since the transmission medium directly enters the interior of the rotor, the reliability requirements of the flexible tube e are extremely high. How to balance the thermal displacement of the double-layer cylinder (compression cylinder a2 and torque tube cover a3) while having high reliability is the core of the structural design of the rotor cooling scheme. At the same time, the flexible tube e connects the combustion cylinder a2 and the torque tube cover a3. During the overhaul of the unit, it is inevitable that they need to be frequently disassembled and assembled, which puts forward requirements for the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the flexible tube. Based on this, the design of the flexible tube must have the following characteristics at the same time:

[0005] (1) High reliability: Under the influence of external airflow impact, internal airflow impact, internal and external pressure changes and cylinder vibration, the flexible pipe must have high reliability within at least one overhaul cycle;

[0006] (2) Flexibility: The flexible tube connects the combustion cylinder a2 and the torque tube cover a3 and must be able to overcome the displacement and torsion of the two during the operation of the gas turbine;

[0007] (3) Low heat transfer: As a component for transporting rotor cooling air, the internal fluid will be heated when passing through the external high-temperature gas. To ensure the safe operation and overall efficiency of the unit, the cooling air must not have a temperature rise of more than 20°C after passing through the flexible pipe, and the lower the better;

[0008] (4) Sealing: After passing through the external air pipeline and cooler d1, the air pressure in the flexible tube will be significantly lower than the gas pressure in the external compressor exhaust chamber, and the temperature is also much lower than the compressor exhaust temperature. A small amount of gas leakage can cause the cooling air temperature in the flexible tube to increase significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the flexible tube has good sealing under various working conditions;

[0009] (5) Convenience of disassembly and assembly: With the overhaul of the unit, the flexible pipe needs to be frequently disassembled and assembled, and the flexible pipe needs to be easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0010] The existing units use two types of structures: bellows and single-layer winding tubes. Different types of structures have different problems in use. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bellows structure is as shown. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in actual use, the fluid temperature is too high, the deformation is serious during long-term operation, the torsion failure is obvious during use, and the use effect is poor. Figure 3 As shown, in actual use, due to partial leakage in the winding tube, the temperature of the fluid increases more when passing through, and the peripheral cooler consumes more power.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] 1. High reliability

[0035] (a) The flexible section of the present invention adopts a double-layer metal winding tube structure. The metal winding tube itself has higher impact resistance than the corrugated tube. The double-layer structure can reduce the risk of single-layer damage due to heat load;

[0036] (b) The present invention adopts a double-layer metal winding tube structure, and both the inner and outer winding tubes adopt conical surface matching and discontinuous structure adjustment rings to clamp the ends of the metal winding tubes. Effective end clamping can keep the winding tube in a stable working state and increase the reliability of the connection;

[0037] (c) For the fixation of the double-layer metal winding pipe, a slot is provided in the inner lining to increase the fixation of the end of the inner winding pipe, and the outer winding pipe is fixed by welding, and the fixing method is reliable.

[0038] By increasing the number of flexible section layers and changing the fixing method, the reliability of the flexible pipe of the present invention is increased. According to theoretical calculations, the stress level of the double-layer winding pipe structure is reduced by 25% and 50% compared with the single-layer welded winding pipe structure and the corrugated pipe structure under the same operating conditions.

[0039] 2. Can absorb large axial displacement and torsion

[0040] The flexible section of the present invention adopts a double-layer metal winding tube structure. The axial displacement of the winding tube is determined according to the pitch. Under a length of 330mm, the axial displacement of the winding tube structure can be 10mm and the rotation angle is not greater than 5°. Compared with the bellows that can only absorb axial displacement and easily cause the bellows to fail due to torsion, it has better performance.

[0041] 3. Low heat transfer and leakage performance

[0042] The flexible section of the present invention adopts a double-layer metal winding tube structure, and a nearly closed chamber is formed between the inner and outer winding tubes, which greatly reduces the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient; the double-layer structure doubles the number of leakage airflow throttling points, and the flow resistance is greater, which significantly reduces the probability of compressor exhaust leakage entering the flexible tube. Compared with the single-layer welded winding tube structure under the same pressure and temperature conditions, the temperature rise of the cooling air per unit mass flow is reduced by about 70%.

[0043] 4. Easy to disassemble and replace

[0044] The present invention adopts a double-layer metal winding tube structure, and the double layers are fixed by different types. When the inner and outer layers of the flexible section are damaged, the entire section can be directly replaced, or the inner and outer layers can be replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
