Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of gas turbine generator set technology, and in particular to a gas turbine casing temperature difference cooling and balancing device in a gas turbine generator set. Background Technology
[0002] Taking the "two-to-one" mode as an example, the new gas turbine generator set does not have a cylinder cooling device designed for the turbine body. After the unit is put into operation, there is often a problem of large temperature difference between the upper and lower cylinders (i.e., high-pressure cylinder and intermediate-pressure cylinder). Excessive temperature difference between the upper and lower cylinders and the inner and outer walls may cause cylinder deformation, causing friction between the moving and stationary parts of the turbine, inducing turbine vibration, or even causing the main shaft to bend, which poses a significant safety hazard.
[0003] Currently, a relatively simple method on the market to eliminate cylinder temperature difference is to install a tube bundle on the upper part of the turbine cylinder, with small air holes evenly arranged on the tube bundle. The air outlet direction of the air holes is tangent to the circumferential direction of the cylinder wall, so that the air is evenly discharged and the cylinder is not locally heated. However, the amount of cooling air is manually controlled. This method is often greatly affected by environmental and human factors, and the heat exchange effect and the effect of reducing temperature difference are not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0016] In one feasible technical solution of this application, the outlet temperature of the heat exchanger is adjustable between 50-450℃, the outlet pressure of the heat exchanger is between 0.4-0.8 MPa, and the flow rate of the heat exchanger is between 3-6 m³ / h. 3 Between / min.
[0017] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0035] This application discloses a temperature difference cooling and balancing device for the turbine casing in a gas turbine unit. (Refer to...) Figure 1-2 The turbine casing temperature difference cooling balancing device in the gas turbine unit includes two cooling actuators 1 installed on the top of the high-pressure cylinder and the top of the intermediate-pressure cylinder respectively. The cooling actuator 1 is a shell plate structure that fits the contour of the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder. A gap is reserved between the cooling actuator 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder to form a cooling chamber 100. The gap distance is between 95-105mm. The two ends of the cooling actuator 1 are connected to the air inlet pipes 2, and the middle of the cooling actuator 1 is provided with the exhaust pipe 3. Both air inlet pipes 2 are connected to the cold air supply system 4. The cold air supply system 4 is electrically connected to the temperature control system of the turbine casing. The two air inlet pipes 2 are respectively provided with an electrically controlled ball valve 5 for automatically adjusting the gas volume.
[0036] In this embodiment, the cooling actuator 1 includes a cooling shell plate 11 and a bolt connection group 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, the bypass ball valve 441 is normally closed, while all other ball valves are normally open.
[0041] The beneficial technical effects of the turbine casing temperature difference cooling balancing device in the gas turbine unit of this application embodiment are roughly as follows:
[0042] By linking the cold air supply system 4 with the temperature control system of the turbine casing, when the temperature difference between the cylinder body of the high-pressure cylinder and the cylinder body of the intermediate-pressure cylinder is too large, the cold air supply system 4 can be started and the two electrically controlled ball valves 5 can be automatically opened to control the flow of cold air in the two intake pipes 2 respectively, thereby quickly and accurately reducing the temperature difference between the two cylinder bodies. This non-human control and operation mode can basically eliminate environmental and human factors, and the heat exchange effect and temperature difference reduction effect are better.
[0043] It has a wide range of applications and can be used for steam turbines that are not equipped with cylinder cooling.
