Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical production technology, and in particular to a steam turbine oil circulation filtration device. Background Technology
[0002] Steam turbines primarily use steam to drive the turbine impeller, providing power and saving electricity. They can also provide low-pressure steam after the steam has done its work. Lubricating oil is an important working medium for steam turbine units, undertaking the tasks of lubrication, regulation, cooling, and control. To ensure these tasks can be accomplished, appropriate pressure must first be maintained. During normal startup and operation, the lubricating oil pressure should be observed and adjusted, along with the differential pressure between them. The lubricating oil is stored in the oil station mainly to cool and lubricate the bearings and gearboxes, and is circulated through equipment such as coolers and filters.
[0003] Under normal conditions, the steam turbine can run continuously for 1-3 years. When the oil level in the oil station is below 70%, lubricating oil needs to be added. When the differential pressure gauge exceeds 0.15MPa, the filter device needs to be switched. Utility Model Content

The turbine is connected to the compressor via the coupling. The turbine is equipped with a speed control system. The lubricating oil inside the turbine and compressor enters the oil station through a return oil pipeline. The oil station is equipped with an oil station filler port, an oil station vent port, a level gauge, a pressure gauge, and a temperature gauge. The oil in the oil station is transported to the filtration device through the cooler. A self-regulating valve A, an auxiliary oil pump, and a standby oil pump are installed on the pipeline between the oil station and the cooler. The filtration device includes two filter tanks with identical structures. Both filter tanks are vertically fixed on a base. Each filter tank is equipped with a filter inlet and a filter outlet. The two filter inlets are connected and equipped with a three-way valve A. The inlet of the three-way valve A is connected to the cooler. A pipeline at the inlet of the three-way valve A is equipped with... The system includes a filter inlet temperature gauge, and two filter inlets are connected by a three-way valve A. A balancing valve is installed on the connected pipeline. The two filter outlets are connected and equipped with a three-way valve B. The three-way valve B has two outlets. One outlet is connected to the turbine and compressor via a lubricating oil pipeline, and a lubricating oil pressure gauge is installed near the three-way valve B on the lubricating oil pipeline. The other outlet is connected to the speed control system via a regulating oil pipeline, and a regulating oil pressure gauge is installed near the three-way valve B on the regulating oil pipeline. A differential pressure gauge is installed between the inlet of the three-way valve A and the outlet of the three-way valve B.

The normal differential pressure is below 0.05MPa. When the differential pressure gauge reading exceeds 0.15MPa, the filter canister needs to be switched. The filter element can be cleaned or replaced in time without affecting the operation of the turbine.
[0009] 2. Multiple 100-mesh / inch filter screens are clamped inside the upper and lower grid plates and fixed with double-headed bolts. After multiple layers of filtration, the oil is clean and free of hard particulate matter, protecting the bearings and gears of the steam turbine and compressor from wear, extending their service life, reducing failures and maintenance, and ensuring stable operation of the steam turbine.

[0021] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0022] refer to Figure 1-4This utility model provides a turbine oil circulation and filtration device, including a turbine 01, a compressor 02, an oil station 03, a speed control system 04, a coupling 05, a filter device, and a cooler 5. The turbine 01 is connected to the compressor 02 via the coupling 05. The turbine 01 is equipped with a speed control system 04. The lubricating oil inside the turbine 01 and the compressor 02 enters the oil station 03 through the return oil pipeline 06. The oil station 03 is equipped with an oil station filling port 031, an oil station vent port 032, a level gauge 033, a pressure gauge 034, and a temperature gauge. 035, the oil in oil station 03 is transported to the filtration device through cooler 5. A self-regulating valve A53, an auxiliary oil pump 51, and a standby oil pump 52 are installed on the pipeline between oil station 03 and cooler 5. The filtration device includes two identical filter tanks 1, both vertically fixed on base 19. Each filter tank 1 has a filter inlet 16 and a filter outlet 17. The two filter inlets 16 are connected and equipped with a three-way valve A21. The inlet of the three-way valve A21 is connected to cooler 5. The inlet of the three-way valve A21... A filter inlet temperature gauge 35 is installed on the pipeline. A three-way valve A connects the two filter inlets 16, and a balance valve 2 is installed on the connected pipeline. The two filter outlets 17 are connected and a three-way valve B22 is installed. The three-way valve B22 has two outlets. One outlet connects to the turbine 01 and compressor 02 via a lubricating oil pipeline 3. A lubricating oil pressure gauge 32 is installed on the lubricating oil pipeline 3 near the three-way valve B22. The other outlet connects to the speed control system 04 via a regulating oil pipeline 31. The regulating oil pipeline 31 is located near the three-way valve. A regulating oil pressure gauge 33 is installed at valve B22. A differential pressure gauge 34 is installed between the inlet of three-way valve A21 and the outlet of three-way valve B22. A self-regulating regulating valve B54 is installed on the regulating oil pipeline 31. Three-way valve A21 and three-way valve B22 are connected by a cross slider 23 to achieve linkage. Two pipes are led out from the top of the two filter tanks 1 and converge to one end of the vent pipe 43. The other end of the vent pipe 43 is connected to the oil station 03. Hand valves A41 and B42 are respectively installed on the two pipes led out from the top of the two filter tanks 1. A viewing window 4 is installed at the confluence.
[0023] refer to Figure 3 The filter tank 1 is equipped with a filter layer consisting of a grid plate 11 and a 100 mesh / inch filter screen 12. The 100 mesh / inch filter screen clip 12 is fixed in the upper and lower grid plates 11 with double-headed bolts 13. A support 14 is vertically installed at the bottom of the filter tank 1, and a handle 15 is installed at the top of the filter layer.
[0024] refer to Figure 2 Both filter tanks are also equipped with electrostatic grounding.
[0025] Steam turbine start-up and shutdown:
[0026] 1. Before starting the steam turbine 01, check that the oil level in the oil station 03 level gauge 033 is around 70%, the pressure inside the oil station 03 is atmospheric pressure, the oil station vent 032 is always open to the atmosphere, and the temperature is around 40℃. Check that the differential pressure of the filter device is within 0.05MPa, indicating that it is in a smooth state. Check whether the cooler 5 is unobstructed. Check whether the auxiliary oil pump A51 is effective. Check whether the connection surfaces of all pipelines and mechanical equipment are tight and reliable.
[0027] 2. First, turn on the auxiliary oil pump A51. The lubricating oil pressure gauge 32 should show 0.4 MPa, and the regulating oil pressure gauge 33 should show 0.8 MPa. This is to check for oil leaks in the turbine lubricating oil pipeline and instrumentation. Check the oil pipelines for preheating. Establish oil circulation for one hour until the oil temperature reaches approximately 40°C before starting. Start the turbine 01 in the speed control system 04. Check that the coupling 05 rotates normally without any abnormal noises or impacts. Check that all instruments are functioning properly. Once the turbine 01 has started, the turbine speed can be increased in the speed control system 04 to increase kinetic energy. Each time the speed is increased, stabilize for five minutes before increasing the speed again.
[0028] 3. When turbine 01 stops, observe carefully and gradually reduce the speed to the specified value of 500 r / min in the speed control system 04 to stop turbine 01. After ensuring that the auxiliary oil pump A51 runs stably for half an hour, stop it. Check the quality of the lubricating oil in oil station 03. The quality of the lubricating oil has a great impact on the normal operation and service life of turbine 01. Under normal circumstances, the lubricating oil is used for 2-3 years.
[0029] 4. During the process of increasing the speed of the steam turbine 01, attention should be paid to the smooth operation of the entire unit. The lubricating oil and regulating oil will decrease during the speed increase. This is due to temperature changes and the increased suction of the journal. After running smoothly for a period of time, it will return to normal.
[0030] Filter switching:
[0031] 1. During operation, the normal differential pressure between the filter inlet 16 and the filter outlet 17 is less than 0.05 MPa. When the differential pressure gauge 34 exceeds 0.15 MPa, the filter needs to be switched. The filter device is one on and one on standby (one filter tank runs with the turbine, and the other filter tank is on standby for switching).
[0032] 2. The operator first opens the balance valve 2 to allow the oil to flow to the standby filter tank, then opens the standby filter tank hand valve B42. When oil comes out of the sight glass 4, it means that the standby filter tank is full. Immediately close the hand valve B42, and the oil in the sight glass 4 will flow back to the oil station 03 through the vent pipe 43.
[0033] 3. Three-way valves A21 and B22 are connected by a cross slider 23. When the handle of three-way valve A21 is turned, the cross slider 23 drives three-way valve B22 to rotate, and the oil circuit is switched to the standby filter canister. Immediately close the balance valve 2. At this time, the standby filter canister becomes the working filter canister. The other filter canister can be opened for inspection, replacement and cleaning of the filter screen.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
