Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to gas turbine equipment technical field, concretely is a kind of thermal compensation nonmetal expansion joint. BACKGROUND
[0002] In gas turbine field, expansion joint is needed between gas turbine exhaust horizontal section and exhaust diffuser to compensate the connecting deviation caused by prefabrication, installation and other links;And, during the operation of gas turbine, a large amount of high-temperature gas is discharged from the tail end of gas turbine, which can cause thermal expansion of the components in contact with high-temperature airflow;If this thermal expansion cannot be effectively compensated, the expansion joint is prone to deformation, damage and other conditions, which poses a great safety hazard.
[0003] The existing expansion joint has certain defects in compensation effect and high-temperature resistance, and cannot effectively compensate the thermal expansion amount generated by gas turbine;Moreover, such expansion joint is used in a special position and harsh environment, and the subsequent maintenance cost is high, so the overall strength needs to be improved;Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new type of thermal compensation nonmetal expansion joint. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model discloses a kind of thermal compensation nonmetal expansion joints to solve the above technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a kind of thermal compensation nonmetal expansion joint, including inlet flange, outlet flange, inlet deflector, outlet deflector, skin, skin pressing plate, inlet heat preservation nail, outlet heat preservation nail and heat preservation layer.
[0006] The inlet flange, the outlet flange, the inlet deflector and the outlet deflector are all selected from low-alloy high-strength steel material;This material has high endurance strength under high-temperature environment.
[0007] The inlet deflector and the outlet deflector are in the shape of a tapered cylinder;From the principle of structural mechanics, this shape has good stress dispersion characteristics, which can significantly enhance the overall strength of the component;At the same time, the tapered cylinder-shaped deflector can guide the flow of high-temperature gas, reduce the impact of high-temperature gas on the internal structure of the expansion joint, and thus prolong the service life of the expansion joint.
[0008] The skin is made of steel wire glass fiber cloth, alkali-free bulk cloth and silicone rubber material;Under high-temperature conditions, the skin shows good temperature resistance, flexibility and sealing performance.
[0009] The skin pressing plate, the inlet heat preservation nail and the outlet heat preservation nail are all made of stainless steel material;Stainless steel material not only has good corrosion resistance, but also can meet the use requirements under high-temperature environment.
[0010] The heat preservation layer is selected from Morgan insulation cotton and aluminum silicate fiber felt material; the two materials have excellent heat insulation performance, and help to improve the heat preservation effect of the expansion joint.
[0011] The inlet guide plate and the inlet heat preservation pin adopt an assembly structure, and the outlet guide plate and the outlet heat preservation pin also adopt an assembly structure; when high-temperature airflow passes through, the inlet guide plate and the outlet guide plate will expand due to heating, therefore, the inlet heat preservation pin and the connecting hole on the inlet guide plate are reserved with an expansion installation allowance, and the outlet heat preservation pin and the connecting hole on the outlet guide plate are also reserved with an expansion installation allowance; the expansion installation allowances can effectively compensate the generated thermal expansion amount. Advantages
[0012] The expansion joint can effectively eliminate the thermal expansion amount generated by the expansion joint due to temperature change, and can significantly improve the strength of the whole structure, enhance the stability and durability of the expansion joint, increase the service life of the expansion joint, and reduce the subsequent maintenance cost.
