Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydro-generators, and in particular to an evaporative cooling system for stator wire rod jumpers of a giant hydro-generator set. Background Art

[0002] Currently, there are three cooling methods for large turbines, namely, full air cooling, evaporative cooling, and water-cooling. Evaporative cooling, which is also a direct cooling method, is more popular than water-cooling because of its safety and reliability.

[0003] Giant hydro-turbine generator sets include stator bars and jumper wires. The jumper wires are used to connect between the stator bars. Both the stator bars and the jumper wires need to be cooled when in use. Currently, only the stator bars use evaporative cooling, while the jumper wires use air cooling. The air is applied to the insulating layer on the surface of the jumper wire to cool the jumper wire. However, the insulating layer will increase the temperature difference, resulting in an increase in temperature, making cooling more difficult. There are safety hazards when the jumper wires are in operation.

[0004] In summary, the existing jumper cables adopt an air-cooling method, which makes cooling difficult and poses a potential safety hazard during operation. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing jumper wire adopts air external cooling, which is difficult to cool and has potential safety hazards during operation. Further, an evaporative cooling system for the stator bar jumper wire of a giant hydro-turbine generator set is provided.

[0007] A cooling unit is formed by a plurality of the stator bars and a jumper wire, and top ends of cooling pipes of at most two of the stator bars in each cooling unit are connected to the steam collecting pipe through the jumper wire.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the cooling pipeline of the jumper wire is communicated with the cooling pipeline of one of the stator bars, and the other end of the cooling pipeline of the jumper wire is communicated with the steam collecting pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, two ends of the cooling pipeline of the jumper wire are respectively connected to the cooling pipelines of the two stator bars, and the middle part of the cooling pipeline of the jumper wire is connected to the steam collecting pipe through a liquid inlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the liquid return pipe is connected to a liquid level meter extending vertically upward.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes: a pressure detection component installed in the condenser, and the pressure detection component is used to measure the internal pressure of the condenser.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure detection component is a pressure sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, the liquid return pipe is provided with a connection port for flushing or draining liquid.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes: a temperature detection component installed between the layers of the stator wire bar, and the temperature detection component is used to measure the temperature of the stator wire bar.

[0015] Furthermore, the temperature detection component is a temperature sensor.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:

[0017] 1. The giant hydro-turbine generator set stator bar jumper wire evaporative cooling system provided by the present invention connects the jumper wire and the stator bar in series to form an evaporative cooling method.

The giant hydro-turbine generator set stator bar jumper wire evaporative cooling system provided by the present invention heats up the cooling medium in the stator bar and evaporates to form a vapor-liquid two-phase flow, which rises under the liquid column pressure of the return pipe, then enters the steam collecting pipe, and then reaches the condenser through the steam outlet pipe, completing a cooling cycle. The entire cycle process does not require the help of a power source, has lower energy consumption, and thus reduces the cost of use.

[0034] Working principle of this implementation:

[0035] After the vapor evaporative cooling medium is condensed into liquid in the condenser 1, it enters the liquid collecting pipe 5 through the liquid return pipe 6, and then enters the stator wire rods 4 with hollow flow channels through the liquid introduction pipe 13 and the liquid joint 12 respectively.
