Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of generators, and more specifically, to a cooling air duct structure and a cooling method for the lead-out line of a hydrogen-cooled generator. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, there are the following two ventilation and cooling air duct structures:
[0003] One is the structure form of a fully copper busbar ring-shaped lead and outlet line, which adopts an externally cooled ventilation and cooling air duct, that is, the entire lead-out line exchanges heat with the cooling medium hydrogen through the insulating surface, so as to achieve the goal of cooling the lead-out line. When designing the ring-shaped lead and outlet line, it is necessary to optimize the cross-section of the copper busbar, reduce the current density of the copper busbar, and comprehensively consider the influence of various factors such as the skin effect of the copper busbar, the proximity effect of the lead ring, the thickness of the insulation on the surface of the copper busbar, the heat dissipation area of the insulating surface, and the ventilation air volume of the lead-out line. The ring-shaped lead is supported by an insulating bracket, and the space between the leads is wrapped with a pad and stuffed with impregnated felt, and fixed with a binding rope to ensure that the ring-shaped lead and the pad do not loosen or displace, so that the entire end becomes a firm whole.
[0004] The other is the structure form of a copper busbar + copper tube structure ring-shaped lead and outlet line, which is mainly internally cooled and supplemented by external cooling, and the outlet sleeve is internally cooled. Finally, the copper tube leads and the outlet line are combined to form a single-parallel cooling air duct structure: This structure is suitable for large-capacity models. The arrangement of the copper busbar and the copper tube can reduce the distance between the copper busbar and the copper tube, reduce the influence of the proximity effect and the skin effect, and reduce the loss. Among them, the phase connection line adopts a copper busbar structure, and the rest of the tubular ring-shaped leads and the transition leads adopt a copper tube structure, which is formed by bending a high-conductivity oxygen-free copper tube. The surfaces of the copper busbar and the copper tube are both wrapped with insulation about 2-5 mm thick, and the outlet part is an epoxy composite insulation sleeve.
[0005] However, with the further breakthrough of the capacity of the fully hydrogen-cooled unit, on the one hand, the current flowing through the tubular ring-shaped lead and the stator outlet line further increases, the influence of the proximity effect and the skin effect is further prominent, and the loss of the tubular ring-shaped lead and the stator outlet line rises sharply. On the other hand, considering the increase of the pitch circle of the ring-shaped lead, the length of the copper tube ring-shaped lead increases significantly, and the problem of the overlong cooling air duct of the ring-shaped lead becomes increasingly prominent. The temperature of the copper tube ring-shaped lead is too high, and even the local temperature of the lead ring at the air outlet exceeds the allowable temperature of the F insulation class. Therefore, a new ventilation and cooling air duct is needed to solve the problem of excessive temperature rise of the lead-out line. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The hot hydrogen after heat exchange converges at the air outlet A and is discharged to the low-pressure area to achieve the cooling of the annular lead.

[0033] The present invention will be described in detail below.
[0034] On the one hand:
[0035] As Figures 1 - 3 shown:
[0036] A lead and outgoing line cooling air duct structure for a hydrogen-cooled generator includes a copper bar external cooling component 10 for realizing external cooling heat exchange, several groups of copper tube internal cooling components 20 used in cooperation with the copper bar external cooling component 10 and realizing internal cooling heat exchange, and an inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover connected to the copper tube internal cooling component 20; the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover is communicated with the low-pressure area;
[0037] The copper bar external cooling component 10 is the same as the copper bar in the structure of the copper bar + copper tube structure annular lead and outgoing line in the prior art, and will not be elaborated here;
[0038] The copper tube internal cooling component 20 includes a tubular annular lead 1 provided with an air inlet A121 and an air outlet A111, and an outgoing line component 2 connected to one end of the tubular annular lead 1;
[0039] The outgoing line component 2 includes a transition lead component 21 connected to the tubular annular lead 1 and provided with an air inlet B2141 and an air outlet B2131, an outgoing line sleeve 22 connected to the end of the transition lead component 21 away from the tubular annular lead 1, and an air inlet component 23 provided on the outgoing line sleeve 22 and communicating with the outgoing line sleeve 22; the outlet B of the transition lead component 21 communicates with the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover.
[0040] When the tubular annular lead 1 conducts cooling heat exchange, part of the cooling hydrogen is transported into the tubular annular lead 1 through the air inlet A121. At the same time, another part of the cooling hydrogen enters the tubular annular lead 1 through the air inlet B2141 of the transition lead component 21 to conduct heat exchange on the tubular annular lead 1. The heated hydrogen after heat exchange reaches the air outlet A111 and enters the low-pressure area through the lead insulating air duct 13;
[0041] When the outgoing line component 2 conducts cooling heat exchange, part of the cooling hydrogen enters the transition lead component 21 from the air inlet B2141. At the same time, another part of the cooling hydrogen enters the outgoing line sleeve 22 through the air inlet component 23, and then enters the transition lead component 21 to conduct heat exchange on the transition lead component 21. The heated hydrogen after heat exchange is discharged to the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover through the air outlet B2131, and then enters the low-pressure area;
[0042] In some possible implementation manners, the transition lead component 21 includes an upper transition lead 211 connected to the tubular annular lead 1, a lower transition lead 212 connected to the end of the upper transition lead 211 away from the tubular annular lead 1, and a support sleeve 213 arranged between the upper transition lead 211 and the lower transition lead 212; the air outlet B2131 is arranged on the support sleeve 213 and communicates with the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover.
[0043] Further, the lower transition lead 212 and the upper transition lead 211 are soft-connected; both ends of the support sleeve 213 communicate with the lower transition lead 212 and the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover respectively;
[0044] The cooling hydrogen enters the upper transition lead 211 from one end of the upper transition lead 211 close to the tubular annular lead 1. After heat exchange with the upper transition lead 211, it is discharged to the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover through the air outlet B2131, and is transported to the low-pressure area through the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover, realizing the cooling heat exchange of the upper transition lead 211.
[0045] In some possible embodiments, in order to effectively connect the tubular annular lead 1 to the upper transition lead 211 and enable cooling heat exchange of the upper transition lead 211, a hard connection member 214 is provided between the upper transition lead 211 and the tubular annular lead 1, and an air inlet B2141 is provided on the hard connection member 214.

The insulating air inlet pipe includes an air inlet pipe 232 with a horizontally arranged axis, and an insulating ventilation pipe 231 connected to one end of the air inlet pipe 232 and forming a T-shaped structure. The other end of the insulating ventilation pipe 231 is connected to the outgoing line sleeve 22. This structure can effectively prevent the internal oil of the generator from entering the insulating air inlet pipe 232 and prevent the outgoing line sleeve 22 from overheating.
[0047] Both ends of the air inlet pipe 232 along its axial direction are air inlets C. Cooling hydrogen is introduced into the insulating ventilation pipe 231 through the air inlets C, enters the outgoing line sleeve 22, and then enters the lower transition lead 212 to achieve cooling heat exchange of the outgoing line sleeve 22 and the lower transition lead 212. The heated hydrogen after heat exchange is discharged to the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover through the air outlet B2131 and is transported to the low-pressure area through the inner wall air duct 30 of the outgoing line cover.
[0048] In some possible embodiments, the tubular annular lead 1 includes a main line 11 in an arc shape and connected to the outgoing line assembly 2 at one end, and an incoming line 12 connected to the end of the main line 11 away from the outgoing line assembly 2. The air inlet A121 is provided on the incoming line 12, and the air outlet A111 is provided on the main line 11.
[0049] In some possible embodiments, a lead insulating air duct 13 is provided on the air outlet A111. By providing the lead insulating air duct 13 communicating with the low-pressure area on the air outlet A111, the heated hydrogen after heat exchange with the tubular annular lead 1 is transported to the low-pressure area.
[0050] Furthermore, the tubular annular lead 1 is made of copper pipe.
[0051] Through the above settings, the present invention can effectively shorten the air path, reduce the air temperature at the air outlet, reduce the copper consumption, solve the problem of excessive temperature of the annular lead and outgoing line of the large-current fully hydrogen-cooled generator, and improve the reliability of the generator operation.

Cooling is carried out by combining external cooling and internal cooling; the cooling air duct includes a lead cooling parallel air duct and an outlet cooling parallel air duct.
[0054] In some possible embodiments, the specific meaning of using the lead cooling parallel air duct for internal cooling is:
[0055] The cooling hydrogen enters the tubular annular lead 1 from the air inlet A121, flows through the air duct formed by the tubular annular lead 1 for heat exchange, and then arrives at the air outlet A111;
[0056] The cooling hydrogen enters the tubular annular lead 1 from the air inlet B2141, flows through the air duct of the tubular annular lead 1 for heat exchange, and then arrives at the air outlet A111;
[0057] The hot hydrogen after heat exchange converges at the air outlet A111 and is discharged to the low-pressure area through the lead insulation air duct 13 to realize the cooling of the annular lead.

[0060] The cooling hydrogen enters the air inlet pipe 232, flows through the insulating air inlet pipe 231 with a hollow structure, and then successively passes through the outlet sleeve 22, the lower transition lead 212, and the support sleeve 213 to realize heat exchange of the line sleeve 22 and the lower transition lead 212;
[0061] The hot hydrogen after heat exchange converges in the support sleeve 213, enters the air duct on the inner wall of the outlet cover 30 through the air outlet B2131, and then enters the low-pressure area.
