Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a test device and a test method for a water turbine and a centrifugal pump with an adjustable structure, and belongs to the technical field of fluid machinery testing. Background Art
[0002] A water turbine is a hydraulic prime mover that converts water energy into mechanical energy. It is widely used in power generation, irrigation and water conservancy projects. It is usually referred to as a water turbine generator set together with a generator. The exploitable installed capacity of my country's hydropower resources is about 660 million kilowatts, and the exploitable installed capacity in the southwest region is about 450 million kilowatts, accounting for 68% of the country. It has huge development potential, among which high-head hydropower resources are abundant. However, its current development level is extremely low, only about 1% of the technically exploitable amount. The main challenges it faces are the extremely large head drop and high sediment content.
[0003] With the advancement of science and technology, the test equipment of fluid machinery has been continuously updated and updated, and both the innovation and automation have been significantly improved. However, since the actual size of the turbine is very large, the structure is complex, and a large head drop is required for stable operation, it is very difficult to conduct tests on a turbine unit of actual size. In addition, fluid machinery is an important content in higher engineering education, and fluid machinery testing is an indispensable part of the teaching and scientific research process. The development of test equipment can provide an important means for teaching and scientific research, especially the development of visual test equipment can greatly improve students' intuitive understanding of the internal flow of fluid machinery.
[0004] However, the current fluid machinery testing equipment mainly has the following problems:
[0005] (1) The device has a single function;
[0006] Fluid machinery testing is mainly a mechanical test that uses fluid as a medium for energy conversion, including prime movers such as turbines that convert the kinetic energy of fluid into mechanical energy, and working machines such as centrifugal pumps that convert mechanical energy into fluid kinetic energy.
[0007] On the one hand, of the two types of fluid machinery, centrifugal pumps and turbines are devices with similar structures and can operate simultaneously in an integrated system. The piping systems in a separate centrifugal pump test device and a separate turbine test device are very similar. Repeated construction causes economic waste and takes up more laboratory space. It is of great significance to integrate the two devices into one system.
[0008] On the other hand, the structure of the existing test device is difficult to adjust, and it is impossible to study the law of flow changes caused by structural changes. In addition, the test functions that can be achieved by external conditions are relatively single, and the number of tests that can be performed under the same set of equipment is relatively small, and the cost performance is low. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a test device with adjustable structure.
[0009] (2) The interior cannot be seen;
[0010] Most of the existing fluid machinery test devices are used to study external characteristics, but cannot study the internal flow of the flow-passing parts of the device, and it is difficult to improve the structure of the fluid machinery based on the internal flow. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the performance and structural strength of centrifugal pumps and turbines, the development of a visual test device is of great significance for studying the internal flow laws of centrifugal pumps and turbines and developing high-performance centrifugal pumps and turbines.
[0011] (3) The device is bulky;
[0012] The existing fluid machinery test equipment is large in size and occupies a lot of space. Therefore, it is of great significance to save test space by reducing the size of the equipment in proportion to the similarity criterion and developing a miniaturized test equipment.

[0112] 2) Take the center point of the turbine rotor as the origin, draw parallel lines of the horizontal frame and the vertical frame of the turbine test device on the cross section of the turbine, and divide the cross section of the turbine into four test areas. Figure 6 The high-speed camera system shown in the figure is installed, and all instruments and equipment are checked to see if they are normal. The high-speed camera 56 is installed at a position where the cross section of the shooting area extends downward vertically, and the lens is aimed at a direction perpendicular to the cross section of the turbine. The lens is 40 cm away from the cross section of the area to be tested. The cold light source is installed at the same horizontal line as the high-speed camera, and is aimed at the area to be tested from the side to ensure the brightness of the shooting picture.
[0113] 3) Use theory combined with actual experimental conditions to select the appropriate shooting frequency.
[0114] The estimation formula of shooting frequency is as follows:
[0115]
[0116] Where: f——shooting frequency, frame / s;
[0117] n——rotor speed, r / min;
[0118] α——rotor rotation angle, degrees.
[0119] According to formula (1), the shooting frequency at each rotation speed is shown in Table 1.
[0120] Table 1 Shooting frequency at different rotation speeds
[0121]
[0122] The selection of shooting frequency generally follows the principle of ensuring that the clear movement trajectory of the tracer particles inside the centrifugal pump can be captured during the test, and then selecting the lowest value within the shooting frequency range. Combining the rated speed of the turbine with the shooting frequency specified by the camera, the shooting frequency is selected as 4000 frames / s.
[0123] The formula for the blur amount b of the captured image is as follows:
[0124] b=tvMcosθ (7)
[0125] In this formula, t represents the exposure time, s; v represents the moving speed of the photographed object, m / s; θ represents the angle between the moving direction of the object and the photographed plane; M represents the shooting magnification, M = f d / L.
[0126] When shooting a moving target, in order to obtain a clear trajectory map, the exposure time of the high-speed camera needs to meet the following requirements:
[0128]
[0129] Where l represents the pixel size in mm.
[0130] When selecting the exposure time, it is necessary to select the shortest exposure time possible within the range of the shooting brightness. When shooting the internal flow of the turbine, the exposure time of the high-speed camera is selected to be 0.1ms.
[0131] 4) Select a specific working condition as in Example 3 and perform the same test operation steps.
[0132] 5) The captured data is transmitted to the monitor 57 and processed and analyzed on a computer using high-speed photo processing software.
[0133] 6) Open the sixth ball valve 31 and add appropriate amount of clean water to the water reservoir 9 and the transfer tank 16 to clean the flow area. After cleaning, turn off the motor 1, wait for the clean water to flow out, and close all ball valves.
[0134] 7) Analyze the velocity and direction of the fluid in the turbine and verify the numerical simulation results.
[0135] Embodiment five:
[0136] The main steps of the turbine startup transient process test using the test device of the first embodiment are as follows:
[0137] 1) Perform the same preparation operation as in Example 4, add the test medium and open the corresponding ball valve, and turn on the motor to circulate the flow.
[0138] 2) When the water level in the reservoir 9 is stable, open the first ball valve 38 and mark the time as time -1.
[0139] 3) When the test medium reaches the turbine inlet pressure gauge 7, the pressure counter value changes, and the time at this moment is marked as time 0, the high-speed camera is started and the shooting begins. Starting from time 0, the values of the turbine inlet pressure gauge 7, the turbine outlet pressure gauge 17, and the turbine torque speed sensor 43 are recorded every 50ms.
[0140] 4) Based on the data measured in step 3), generate a graph of instantaneous changes in turbine inlet and outlet pressure, speed and torque over time.
[0141] 5) Analyze the medium flow during the turbine startup transition process based on the shooting results of the high-speed camera system, study its characteristics, and compare it with the instantaneous change curve drawn in step 4) to analyze the medium flow law and the reasons for its occurrence during the startup transition process.
[0142] 6) Similar to the third embodiment, the torque adjustment device 42 is adjusted to increase the friction between the rotor main shaft 41 and the rotor main shaft 41, and the test of step 2) to step 5) is performed again.
[0143] 7) Draw the influence relationship curve between the main shaft rotation friction and the main shaft speed, torque, inlet and outlet pressure and turbine output efficiency during the startup transition process, analyze the water flow during the turbine startup transition process, as well as the solid-liquid two-phase flow characteristics and the distribution of particles during the startup transition process, and verify the numerical simulation results, analyze the flow of the medium, the instantaneous change analysis of the speed and torque of the turbine rotor main shaft, and the change law of the inlet and outlet pressure.

[0148] 3) Open the second ball valve 34 , the third ball valve 33 , the fourth ball valve 26 and the fifth ball valve 30 .

[0150] 5) After the centrifugal pump runs stably, read the centrifugal pump inlet pressure gauge 4, centrifugal pump outlet pressure gauge 3, centrifugal pump flow meter 27
[0151] and the reading of the centrifugal pump torque speed sensor 24. Adjust the fourth ball valve 26 until the centrifugal pump flow meter reading reaches the test flow, and mark the flow at this time as Q.
[0152] 6) Adjust the second ball valve 34 to adjust the flow rate, repeat step 5), and record data such as flow rate, inlet and outlet pressures, torque and speed.
[0153] 7) Turn off the motor 1, open the sixth ball valve 31, and drain the test medium in the pipeline. Clean up the test site.
[0154] 8) Process the data to generate relevant performance curves of the centrifugal pump (HQ, η-Q, PQ).
[0155] The head H represents the energy increment of the unit weight of liquid pumped by the pump from the pump inlet to the pump outlet, and the unit is m. The calculation method is shown in formula 4:
[0156]
[0157] In the formula, p d 、p s Respectively represent the pressure at the outlet and inlet of the front induction cryogenic pump; v d 、v s Respectively represent the speed at the outlet and inlet of the front induction cryogenic pump; z d 、z s They respectively represent the distances from the outlet and inlet of the front induction cryogenic pump to the optional measurement reference plane.
[0158] Efficiency η is also one of the main performance parameters of centrifugal pumps, and its value is effective power P e The ratio of the output power of the pump to the shaft power P is shown in Formula 7. The output power of the pump represents the effective energy obtained by the medium transported from the front induction cryogenic pump in the pump per unit time, and the calculation method is shown in Formula 5. The shaft power is also called the input power, and its calculation method is shown in Formula 6.
