DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The principles and characteristics of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0024] EMBODIMENT
[0025] As Figure 1 And 2 Indicated, the single -flow ring sealing oil system of the utility model's no oil return expansion tank includes sealing oil storage tank 1, hydrogen side oil return tank 2 and vacuum oil tank 3, the import of hydrogen side oil return tank 2 is connected with turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and exciter end defoaming chamber 42 of generator 4 through pipeline, the export of hydrogen side oil return tank 2 is connected with the import of vacuum oil tank 3 through pipeline, the import of sealing oil storage tank 1 is connected with the bearing box oil discharge port of generator 4 through pipeline, the export of sealing oil storage tank 1 is connected with the import of vacuum oil tank 3 through pipeline, the export of vacuum oil tank 3 is connected with cooler 5, filter 6 and sealing ring cavity of generator 4 in proper order through pipeline, the gas side space of turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and exciter end defoaming chamber 42 is communicated in the inside of generator 4, the upper portion of turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and / or exciter end defoaming chamber 42 is connected with the inner chamber top of hydrogen side oil return tank 2 through pressure balance pipe 7.
[0026] In the single-flow ring seal oil system of the oil-return-free enlarged groove of the embodiment, the oil discharged from the hydrogen side of the seal ring at the turbine end and the exciter end of the generator 4 enters the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42 of the generator 4. The seal oil flows from the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42 into the hydrogen side oil return tank 2, which functions to block the gas leakage. Normally, the gas side space pressure in the hydrogen side oil return tank 2 (in the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42) is consistent with the gas pressure in the generator 4. Since the horizontal pipeline is inevitably arranged on site, although the original installation instruction requires that the horizontal pipeline has an inclination of at least 1 / 1000 downward, when the amount of seal oil at the hydrogen side of the seal ring abnormally increases (the oil-hydrogen differential pressure increases during the generator voltage reduction process, the long-time running (or rubbing) gap of the seal shoe becomes large, etc.), or the oil return pipeline has a negative slope due to the loosening of the support hanger, the seal oil will fill the horizontal pipeline section of the hydrogen side oil return pipeline. During the process of reducing the voltage of the generator 4, the high-pressure gas in the hydrogen side oil return tank 2 expands, and most of the gas will flow upward along the pressure balance pipeline 7 to the gas side space of the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42, and will not form a "gas plug" in the oil return pipeline connecting the hydrogen side oil return tank 2 and the defoaming chamber, thereby preventing the oil return, and thus preventing the oil level in the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42 from rising and causing the generator to be filled with oil.
[0027] In the embodiment, the control valve 8 is arranged on the pressure balance pipeline 7. By adjusting the control valve 8, the flow rate or on-off state of the pressure balance pipeline 7 can be adjusted, and the use is relatively flexible.
[0028] In the embodiment, the control valve 8 is an electromagnetic valve, and is connected to a controller. By controlling the controller, the control valve 8 can be controlled, and the operation is relatively flexible.
[0029] In the embodiment, the turbine end defoaming chamber 41 and the exciter end defoaming chamber 42 (the liquid side spaces of the two) are respectively connected to branch pipelines, the branch pipelines are combined and connected to a main pipeline, and the main pipeline is connected to the inlet of the hydrogen side oil return tank 2.
[0030] In the embodiment, a U-shaped pipeline section 411 is arranged on the branch pipeline connected to the turbine end defoaming chamber 41. The U-shaped pipeline section 411 can avoid the problem that the oil fume circulates in the generator 4 due to the inconsistency of the air pressure at the two ends of the generator 4.
[0031] In the embodiment, a first floating ball valve is arranged at the outlet of the hydrogen side oil return tank 2. The first floating ball valve can control the oil outlet according to the oil level in the hydrogen side oil return tank 2, and the outlet is opened when the oil level is higher than a set value, and the outlet is closed when the oil level is lower.
[0032] In the embodiment, a differential pressure valve 9 is arranged on the pipeline between the filter 6 and the seal ring cavity of the generator 4, two pressure ports of the differential pressure valve 9 are connected with the downstream pipeline and the bottom of the U-shaped tube segment 411 through pipelines respectively, so that the oil pressure is greater than the hydrogen pressure in the generator 4.
[0033] In the embodiment, the inlet of the vacuum oil tank 3 is provided with a second floating ball valve. The second floating ball valve can control the oil inlet according to the oil level in the vacuum oil tank 3, and the inlet is opened when the oil level is low, and the inlet is closed when the oil level is high.
[0034] In the embodiment, the outlet of the seal oil storage tank 1 is also connected with the cooler 5 through an emergency pipeline (denoted by b in the figure), and an emergency pump (denoted by e in the figure) is arranged on the emergency pipeline. The emergency pipeline can pump the oil in the seal oil storage tank 1 into the generator 4 in an emergency.
[0035] In the embodiment, the outlet of the filter 6 is connected with the floating oil chamber outside the seal ring of the generator 4 through a pipeline, and a flow control valve (denoted by f in the figure) is arranged on the pipeline. The pipeline can provide a certain pressure to balance the hydrogen pressure force of the hydrogen side end face of the seal ring, so that the seal ring of the generator 4 does not stick to the seal ring shell and jam.
