Description

[0002] Gas turbines, with their high-efficiency power output, often operate under extreme conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and high speed. This harsh operating environment places extremely high performance demands on all components of the gas turbine, especially the exhaust diffuser. However, existing gas turbine exhaust diffuser designs have some shortcomings:

[0003] On the one hand, the internal flow channel shape is not optimized, resulting in large vortices and backflow areas during exhaust flow. This not only increases exhaust resistance but also reduces exhaust efficiency, significantly diminishing the overall performance of the gas turbine. On the other hand, the connection between the exhaust diffuser's guide components and the main structure is not reasonable. Under prolonged exposure to high temperatures and high-speed, high-pressure airflow, the strength of the connection points gradually decreases, making them prone to loosening and displacement. This directly reduces the stability and reliability of the gas turbine operation, increases the risk of sudden failures, shortens the service life of components, and increases maintenance costs.

Second, the connection method between the diffuser's guide components and the main structure is not reasonable. Under prolonged exposure to high temperatures and high-speed, high-pressure airflow, the strength of the connection points gradually decreases, making them prone to loosening and displacement.
