Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lubricating oil pumps, in particular to a lubricating oil pump control device for a gas turbine set. Background Art
[0002] During the entire operation of the gas turbine (hereinafter referred to as the gas turbine), the bearings, gearboxes and other rotating parts require lubricating oil with sufficient pressure to achieve the following related functions: 1. Lubrication function. Separate the mechanical friction surfaces to form liquid friction, reduce mechanical wear and friction resistance, and improve mechanical efficiency; 2. Cooling function. Utilize the circulation of engine oil to take away the heat generated during mechanical operation to ensure the normal operation of the machine; 3. Anti-rust function. Lubricating oil adheres to the surface of parts to prevent the surface of parts from contacting with moisture, air and gas to produce oxidation (rust) and corrosion; 4. Sealing function. Utilize the viscosity of lubricating oil to adhere to the surface of moving parts to improve the sealing effect; 5. Purification function. Utilize the circulation of lubricating oil to flush the surface of parts and take away the fine metal chips worn away.
[0003] The existing aeroderivative gas turbine lubrication system was designed and installed by General Electric (GE), a US company with exclusive patents. In this system, when the AC lubrication oil pump for the generator stops operating, the lubrication oil pressure fed back from the gas turbine's oil supply main drops too slowly. This causes a delay in the system's automatic activation of the DC oil pump, delaying the timely buildup of lubrication oil pressure. This leads to abnormal oil supply to the generator bearings and can easily damage the generator bearings. Utility Model Content

[0026] Example 1
[0027] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a lubricating oil pump control device for a gas turbine unit, which is sealed by the pipeline component 101 and the oil tank 100, the oil pump 102 and the filter 103, so that the engine can operate normally during use.
[0028] Specifically, it includes an oil tank 100, with pipeline assemblies 101 fixedly connected on both sides of the oil tank 100, an oil pump 102 fixedly connected on one side of the pipeline assembly 101, a filter 103 fixedly connected on one side of the oil pump 102, and a one-way valve assembly 104 fixedly connected on both sides of the oil tank 100 and the filter 103, and a sampling assembly 200 is arranged inside the one-way valve assembly 104.
[0029] Furthermore, the pipeline assembly 101 includes a pipeline 101a, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fuel tank 100. The fuel tank 100 is mainly used to store fuel to ensure that the engine can work continuously. The side of the pipeline 101a away from the fuel tank 100 is fixedly connected to the oil pump 102. The oil pump 102 is used to transport the fuel inside the fuel tank 100 to the inside of the engine at a certain pressure. The end of the oil pump 102 away from the pipeline 101a is fixedly connected to the pipeline 2 101b, and the end of the pipeline 2 101b away from the oil pump 102 is fixedly connected to the filter 103. The filter 103 is used to filter out impurities in the fuel inside the fuel tank 100 to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the engine and causing wear and failure of the engine. The end of the filter 103 away from the pipeline 2 101b is fixedly connected to the pipeline 3 101c, and the other side of the fuel tank 100 is fixedly connected to the pipeline 4 101d. The main pipe 101e is fixedly connected between the pipeline 3 101c and the pipeline 4 101d.
[0030] Preferably, pipe 1 101a, pipe 2 101b, pipe 3 101c, pipe 4 101d and main pipe 101e are interconnected, and pipe components 101 are made of 316 stainless steel, which has better corrosion resistance, higher density and better wear resistance. When the engine is running, the lubricating oil temperature is high, and 316 stainless steel material can better maintain system stability. Pipe 1 101a, pipe 2 101b, pipe 3 101c and pipe 4 101d in pipe component 101 can be L-shaped, M-shaped or Z-shaped, and are arranged according to the actual situation on site. This schematic diagram is for reference only.
[0031] The staff stores a sufficient amount of fuel inside the fuel tank 100, and then checks the connection between the fuel tank 100, the fuel pump 102 and the filter 103 and the pipe assembly 101 to ensure that the pipe assembly 101 is tightly connected to the fuel tank 100, the fuel pump 102 and the filter 103, so that the engine can operate normally when the device is connected to the engine.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment uses a one-way valve 104a and a one-way valve 104b to direct the fuel in the fuel tank 100 to flow in the pipe assembly 101 in a certain direction, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the engine and the stability of the system.
[0034] Specifically, the one-way valve assembly 104 includes a one-way valve 104a and a one-way valve 104b. A throttling orifice plate is fixedly connected to the one-way valve 104a and the one-way valve 104b to limit and regulate the flow of fuel, thereby controlling the stability of the fuel pressure in the pipeline assembly 101.
[0035] Furthermore, one-way valve 104a is fixedly connected between pipeline 3 101c and main pipe 101e, and one-way valve 104a can only allow fuel to flow from pipeline 3 101c to main pipe 101e. One-way valve 2 104b is fixedly connected between pipeline 4 101d and main pipe 101e, and one-way valve 2 104b can only allow fuel to flow from main pipe 101e to pipeline 4 101d.
[0036] Preferably, a reduction gearbox 105 is fixedly connected between the main pipe 101e and the pipe four 101d, which is used to convert the high speed of the engine into a lower speed so as to more efficiently drive the wheels or other mechanical devices.
[0037] During the operation of the entire device, the fuel inside the fuel tank 100 flows through the one-way valve 1 104a and the one-way valve 2 104b in the one-way valve assembly 104 in sequence, through the pipeline 1 101a, the oil pump 102, the pipeline 2 101b, the filter 103, the pipeline 3 101c, the one-way valve 1 104a, the main pipe 101e, the one-way valve 2 104b and the pipeline 4 101d, and then flows into the interior of the fuel tank 100, controlling the direction of fuel flow to ensure that the fuel will not flow back when the pressure provided by the oil pump 102 is insufficient. At the same time, it is also beneficial to maintain the pressure stability inside the pipeline assembly 101.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 This is the third embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment shortens the length, diameter and shape of the sampling tube 200b, thereby solving the problems of low pressure in the pipeline assembly 101 and slow starting of the DC pump when the oil pump 102 fails, thereby avoiding the occurrence of oil shortage and damage to the generator bearing.
[0040] Specifically, a sampling assembly 200 is provided on the side of the surface of the main pipe 101e close to the pipe four 101d. The sampling assembly 200 includes a sampling port 200a. The sampling port 200a is opened on the surface of the main pipe 101e. A sampling tube 200b is fixedly connected to the outside of the sampling port 200a, and a pressure transmitter 200c is fixedly connected to the end of the sampling tube 200b.
[0041] Furthermore, the sampling port 200a is on the side of the main pipe 101e, and the sampling port 200a is above the main pipe 101e, and is arranged according to the specific conditions on site.
[0042] Preferably, a pressure switch 1 200d is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure transmitter 200c, and a pressure switch 2 200e is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure transmitter 200c away from the pressure switch 1 200d. The pressure switch 1 200d is an on button, and the pressure switch 2 200e is an off button.
[0043] Different from the original device, this device removes the sampling tube 200b 10 meters away from the sampling port 200a of the original generator lubricating oil main pipe 101e, and the newly installed pressure transmitter 200c is about 1.7 meters vertically and about 0.3 meters horizontally from the sampling port 200a.
[0044] Since the shorter the diameter of the pipe through which the fuel passes, the lower its flow resistance, the shorter the distance of sampling tube 200b is, the shorter the time it takes for the fuel pressure in sampling tube 200b to drop when the fuel pump 102 stops operating. Therefore, while the original sampling tube 200b has a diameter of 1 / 4 inch, the sampling tube 200b of this device has a diameter of 1 / 2 inch. It is also made of 316 stainless steel, which offers improved corrosion resistance, higher density, and greater wear resistance.
[0045] When other conditions remain unchanged, the larger the pipe diameter, the smaller the fuel flow resistance inside the pipeline assembly 101. When the oil pump 102 stops operating, the fuel pressure in the pipeline assembly 101 drops faster, and the response time of the pressure transmitter 200c is shorter.
[0046] The original sampling tube 200b uses a straight tube plus an adapter. Small debris easily accumulates at the adapter position, affecting the flow of fuel, and the joint is also prone to oil leakage. According to the position of the sampling port 200a and the newly designed lubricating oil pressure transmitter 200c, the pipeline direction of the sampling tube 200b is designed as shown in the figure. The sampling tube is bent using a pipe bender, and a tube goes to the end, making the oil path more unobstructed. During use, the staff presses the pressure switch 1 200d to turn on the pressure transmitter 200c. When the device stops running, the staff presses the pressure switch 2 200e to turn off the pressure transmitter 200c. The signal transmission between the fuel pressure transmitter 200c and the pressure switch uses a dedicated flame-retardant computer cable, model GB-ZR-DJYP2VP2, with specifications of 5*2*1.0mm. 2 , effectively solving the problem of the generator's oil pump 102 failure or low pressure in the lubricating oil main pipe 101e, which in turn causes the DC pump to start too slowly.
[0047] This device breaks through foreign technology blockades and can provide reference for similar units within and outside the group. It effectively solves the problem of generator lubricating oil pump failure or low lubricating oil main pressure, which in turn leads to slow DC pump activation. It ensures that the DC pump activation time meets industry requirements and effectively avoids damage to generator bearings caused by slow oil pump activation. This is particularly important for units participating in black starts. Since each black start carries the risk of power loss in the gas turbine PC section, the DC pump's activation response time is extremely important when the gas turbine PC section loses power. Rapid and stable DC pump activation is one of the necessary conditions for ensuring safe gas turbine shutdown.
[0048] This patent has been modified and applied to the lubricating oil systems of two gas turbine generators of Huadian Nanning New Energy Co., Ltd. Through sampling in the modified method, when the AC lubricating oil pump fails, the backup AC pump can be started in less than one second; when the whole plant loses power, the lubricating oil main pipe leaks, or the unit is stopped by a black start, the DC oil pump can be started within 3 seconds when the lubricating oil main pipe pressure is as low as 12psi, which is nearly 70% shorter than the response time before the modification, ensuring that the unit can be shut down safely and stably.
