[0002] Due to the high ambient temperature in summer, the inlet temperature of the gas turbine increases, causing the gas turbine flow rate to decrease, which will directly reduce the power generation of the gas turbine. However, due to the hot weather in summer and the peak electricity consumption time, the demand for electricity consumption increases. The online water washing technology on the gas turbine can not only clean the compressor blades online, but also cool the gas turbine inlet air, which can effectively increase the power of the gas turbine and effectively solve the unfavorable situation of power reduction in summer conditions.

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] Combine the following Figure 1 and Figure 2 A compressor blade cleaning structure according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0026] The compressor blade cleaning structure of the embodiment of the present invention comprises a load-bearing outer cylinder 1, a load-bearing inner cylinder 3, a load-bearing support plate 2 and a water spray pipe 4. The load-bearing outer cylinder 1 is provided with a through hole, and the load-bearing inner cylinder 3 is arranged in the load-bearing outer cylinder 1. The load-bearing support plate 2 is arranged between the inner circumference of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 and the outer circumference of the load-bearing inner cylinder 3. At least part of the water spray pipe 4 is arranged on the side of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7, and the peripheral wall of the water spray pipe 4 is provided with a plurality of cleaning holes arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1, and the water spray pipe 4 is suitable for being connected to the liquid supply device outside the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 through the through hole.

[0027] According to the compressor blade cleaning structure of the embodiment of the present invention, a water spray pipe 4 is arranged between the load-bearing support plate 2 and the blade 7, and a plurality of cleaning holes extending radially along the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 are arranged on the peripheral wall of the water spray pipe 4. At this time, the liquid supply device outside the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 supplies liquid to the water spray pipe 4, so as to spray the cleaning liquid through the plurality of cleaning holes to the flow channel formed around the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 and the load-bearing inner cylinder 3. The cleaning liquid in the flow channel has a wider radial distribution range of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1, thereby having a higher heat exchange efficiency with the hot air in the flow channel, a higher cooling efficiency for the air, and at the same time, it can also more efficiently achieve the cleaning of the front blade 7, thereby effectively ensuring the power of the gas turbine.

[0028] In some embodiments, there are multiple load-bearing support plates 2 and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1. The water spray pipe 4 extends radially along the load-bearing outer cylinder 1, and at least part of the load-bearing support plates 2 are provided with a water spray pipe 4 on one side facing the blade 7.

[0029] As a result, the cleaning liquid sprayed from all the cleaning holes is distributed in a wider range along the circumferential direction of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 in the flow channel, thereby achieving a higher cleaning efficiency for the blades 7 and a better cooling effect on the air in the flow channel.

[0030] Specifically, a plurality of bearing plates 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the bearing outer cylinder 1, and the number of water spray pipes 4 may be equal to the number of bearing plates 2 or less than the number of bearing plates 2. In the latter case, a plurality of water spray pipes 4 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the bearing outer cylinder 1. At the same time, a plurality of cleaning holes in each water spray pipe 4 are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the water spray pipe 4.

[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the compressor blade cleaning structure also includes atomizing nozzles 5. The number of atomizing nozzles 5 is equal to the number of cleaning holes and corresponds one to one. The atomizing nozzles 5 are connected to the water spray pipes 4 and block the corresponding cleaning holes.

[0032] The atomizing nozzle 5 can atomize the cleaning liquid entering the flow channel, so that the cleaning liquid is more evenly dispersed in the flow channel, and more evenly contacts the blades 7 and exchanges heat with the air in the flow channel, thereby further improving the cleaning efficiency of the blades 7 and the cooling of the air in the flow channel.

[0033] Specifically, the atomizing nozzle 5 may be welded to the water spray pipe 4 , or the atomizing nozzle 5 may be threadedly fitted in the cleaning hole, with the outlet direction of the atomizing nozzle 5 facing the blade 7 .

[0034] In some embodiments, the water spray pipe 4 is connected to the side of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7 .

[0035] This arrangement effectively improves the installation strength of the water spray pipe 4 in the load-bearing outer cylinder 1. When the compressor is working, the water spray pipe 4 is subjected to less impact force from the inlet air, and the position reliability of the water spray pipe 4 in the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 is higher. Moreover, this arrangement also effectively prevents the water spray pipe 4 from interfering with the diversion effect of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1.

[0036] Specifically, the outer peripheral surface of the water spray pipe 4 is welded to the side of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7 .

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the side surface of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7 is a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 .

[0038] This arrangement can make the welding area between the water spray pipe 4 and the load-bearing support plate 2 larger, and the connection strength between the water spray pipe 4 and the load-bearing support plate 2 greater.

[0039] Alternatively, the side of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7 is a curved surface matching the outer peripheral surface of the water spray pipe 4. This arrangement also facilitates the welding of the water spray pipe 4 and the load-bearing support plate 2, and the connection strength between the two is greater.

[0040] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the water spray pipe 4 extends along the radial direction of the load-bearing support plate 2 to the outer periphery of the load-bearing inner cylinder 3. After the water spray pipe 4 is connected to the load-bearing support plate 2, the outer surface of the water spray pipe 4 is connected to the side of the trailing edge of the load-bearing support plate 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the outer surface of the water spray pipe 4 can also be smoothly connected with the side surfaces of the load-bearing support plate 2 that are opposite to the circumference of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1, that is, the outer contour jointly formed by the water spray pipe 4 and the load-bearing support plate 2 is the same as the outer contour of the load-bearing support plate 2 in the related technology, thereby further ensuring the diversion effect of the load-bearing support plate 2.

[0042] In some embodiments, on a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 , the projection of the portion of the water spray pipe 4 located inside the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 is located inside the projection of the side of the load-bearing support plate 2 facing the blade 7 .

[0043] As a result, the load-bearing support plate 2 has a better shielding effect on the water spray pipe 4, and the water spray pipe 4 is less likely to be impacted by the airflow and change its position, while also better ensuring the diversion effect of the load-bearing support plate 2.

[0044] Specifically, the width of the plane of the load-bearing support plate 2 adjacent to the blades 7 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the water spray pipe 4 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the compressor blade 7 cleaning structure also includes an annular tube 6, which is arranged around the outer peripheral side of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1, and part of the water spray pipe 4 extends from the through hole to the outside of the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 and is connected to the annular tube 6.

[0046] The setting of the annular pipe 6 allows multiple water spray pipes 4 to be connected in parallel. After the liquid supply equipment pumps the cleaning liquid into the annular pipe 6, it can enter each water spray pipe 4 more evenly, and then be sprayed more evenly in the flow channel by each atomizing nozzle 5. The cleaning liquid has a better cooling effect on the air at the inlet of the compressor and a better cleaning effect on the blades 7.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the water spray pipe 4 located outside the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 is welded to the inner circumferential surface of the annular pipe 6 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional outer contour of the water spray pipe 4 is circular, so that the structure of the water spray pipe 4 is simple and the cost is low.

[0049] Alternatively, the cross-sectional outer contour of the water spray pipe 4 matches the cross-sectional outer contour of the through hole, and the through hole is a special-shaped hole. Thus, after the water spray pipe 4 is matched with the through hole, the position reliability of the water spray pipe 4 relative to the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 is further guaranteed, and the water spray pipe 4 is less likely to change position when impacted by airflow.

[0050] Specifically, the outer contour of the cross section of the water spray pipe 4 may be in a square, arched or other shape, and the outer peripheral surface of the water spray pipe 4 may include a plane that is in contact with the side surface of the trailing edge of the load-bearing support plate 2 .

[0051] In some embodiments, the water spray pipe 4 is welded to the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 at the through hole, or the inner circumference of the through hole and the outer circumference of the water spray pipe 4 are equipped with sealing members.

[0052] The above arrangement can ensure the waterproof sealing of the water spray pipe 4 and the load-bearing outer cylinder 1 at the through hole, and effectively prevent the cleaning liquid or gas in the flow channel from leaking therefrom.
