Split type low-pressure shaft end self-sealing system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of steam turbine sealing, and particularly relates to a split type low-pressure shaft end self-sealing system.
Background
Along with the promotion of green low-carbon transformation, the generating capacity ratio of non-fossil energy is steadily improved, and the continuous improvement of the share of wind energy, nuclear energy, solar energy and other energy sources shows that the method has positive progress in the aspects of energy structure adjustment and optimization. But nevertheless, thermal energy still has a large weight in energy consumption and power production. Thermal power generation is one of the most traditional global power production modes, uses fossil fuel (such as coal, petroleum or natural gas) as a main energy source, heats water by heat generated by combustion to generate steam, and drives a steam turbine to generate power, and plays an important role in power supply by virtue of the advantages of mature technology, high equipment reliability, low unit power generation cost, strong peak regulation capability, high energy density and the like, but with the increasingly severe environmental problems and climate change, measures are required to be continuously taken to reduce the running loss of the thermal power generation, so that the performance of thermal power generation is further improved.
The steam turbine is one of three main devices in a thermal power plant and consists of a steam generator (boiler), a steam turbine, a rotor, a generator, a condenser, a water supply pump, an adjusting system and the like. The working principle of the steam turbine is based on a thermodynamic cycle process, mainly a Rankine cycle. In the process, steam is heated to a high-temperature and high-pressure state in a boiler, and then is accelerated through a nozzle and guided to turbine blades to push a turbine to rotate, so that heat energy is converted into mechanical energy, and a generator is pushed to generate continuous electric power, so that the rotation efficiency of the turbine directly influences the operation efficiency and economic benefit of the whole unit.
However, when the steam turbine is in operation, the intermediate rotor rotates at a high speed, and the cylinder, the partition plate (or the stationary blade ring) and the like are stationary, so that a proper gap is required between the rotor and the stationary member to prevent mutual friction. However, the existence of gaps can cause steam leakage, and the caused loss accounts for at least forty percent of the total loss of the whole turbine, which not only reduces the efficiency of the unit, but also seriously affects the safe operation of the unit. In addition, because the steam turbine rotor belongs to a long shaft piece, the steam turbine rotor has complex rotor dynamics characteristics, radial runout can occur during high-speed rotation and variable working condition operation, the circumferential sealing gap starts to be uneven over time, leakage is serious at a place with a large sealing gap, and particularly, permeation of noncondensable air can be caused, so that the efficiency of a unit is seriously affected. The traditional method ensures the sealing effect by increasing the pressure of the steam seal and improving the air supply quantity, but the high-pressure sealing steam has excessive loss and poor economical efficiency.
Accordingly, there is a need to design a split low pressure shaft end self-sealing system to address the above-described issues.

The shaft seal air supply main pipe collects the steam leaked from the high-pressure end and conveys the steam to the steam supply chamber 8 of the shaft seal system positioned between the low-pressure cylinder and the external environment through a pipeline, and the pressure in the steam supply chamber 8 is higher than the atmospheric pressure by 0.03Mpa. The low pressure cylinder is connected with a condenser of the steam turbine, the interior of the low pressure cylinder is in a vacuum environment, the steam extraction chamber 9 is connected with a shaft seal heater, the shaft seal heater is used for absorbing steam in a shaft seal system, recovering heat, improving the heat efficiency of the system and enabling micro vacuum to be formed in the steam extraction chamber 9. Therefore, after the steam in the steam supply chamber 8 enters, the steam flows into the low-pressure cylinder on one hand, the steam leakage of the low-pressure cylinder is restrained, and on the other hand, the steam flows into the steam extraction chamber 9, and the steam is recycled. The steam-pumping chamber 9 absorbs gas from both sides due to the characteristic of micro vacuum, so that steam leakage of the steam-supplying chamber 8 to the ambient air can be avoided. The newly added steam source is from the leakage steam of the high-pressure cylinder or other steam supplementing steam sources, enters the steam branch pipe 17 through the steam pipeline 15, enters the steam branch pipe 19 through the steam branch pipe 17, the steam jacket 3 above the separated steam seal block 2 is opened to penetrate through the steam jacket pipeline 10, the steam branch pipe 19 and the steam jacket pipeline 10 are connected through bolts, and then newly added steam enters the separated steam seal block 2 through the steam jacket pipeline 10. The split gland bush 2 is integrally fixed to the gland bush 3 by a groove and to the low pressure cylinder wall 7 by bolts 13.
The annular separation type steam seal block 2 is subjected to separation treatment and is divided into a plurality of parts. The cavity between the split steam block 2 and the rotor 1 can be divided into a plurality of parts according to the divided split steam block 2. The envelope 3 above each separate gland block 2 opens through an envelope conduit 10, with the envelope conduit 10 delivering external vapour pressure to the cavity between the inner seal teeth 14 of the separate gland block 2 and the rotor 1. Through set up 3 vapor lock piece holes 6 in every disconnect-type vapor lock piece 2, make the inside spout of disconnect-type vapor lock piece 2 send out curtain form the vapor current of certain speed and certain thickness and let the vapor current of blowout form stronger vapor current barrier, block outside noncondensable gas and get into the low pressure jar inside.
The vapor line 15 is arranged with a spatial position outside the low-pressure cylinder and a vapor main valve 16 is provided thereon. Due to the multistage arrangement of the split steam block 2 in the shaft seal system, a steam branch pipe 17 is arranged on the steam pipeline 15. The steam pipeline 15 adopts a steam main valve 16 to take charge of a main gas path. The steam main valve 16 is divided into two parts from the rear end and is divided into two steam branch pipes 17, and the control is carried out on the 1-part type steam seal block 2 and the 2-part type steam seal block 2. The steam branch valve 18 adopts a proportional electric control valve to ensure that the air inflow of the steam branch pipe 17 is adjustable in real time according to working conditions. The rear section of each steam branch pipe 17 is provided with a plurality of steam branch valves 20 for the split steam seal blocks 2, and the steam branch valves can be controlled independently for the split steam seal blocks 2.
Meanwhile, due to the fact that the shafting is operated for many years, sedimentation and eccentricity are caused, single-side air leakage is serious. Leakage tends to cause ingress of ambient air at low temperature, cooling the split gland block 2. The edge position of the 2-stage separation type steam seal block 2 is inserted into and fixed with a temperature sensor 11 in a punching mode, and the temperature of the sealing position is detected. When the temperature is abnormal, after the leakage is indicated, the leakage position and the adjacent split type split steam seal block 2 can be regulated and controlled, the steam branch valve 20 connected with the leakage position can be controlled, the steam flow and the pressure are increased, and the sealing effect is ensured. The design can independently and accurately control the steam valve on the separation type steam seal block 2, so that the separation type steam seal block can not only detect leakage points, but also accurately convey steam to prevent non-condensing steam.
The invention introduces the source and the arrangement quantity of external new steam pipelines to be unfixed, can be the same as the source of the original shaft seal air supply main pipe, and can also be used for supplementing steam from a high-pressure cylinder or other positions, the position and the quantity of the steam seal block holes 6 on the separated steam seal block 2 are unfixed, the steam seal block holes 6 on the separated steam seal block 2 are used for providing an entering channel for additional steam, the form and the quantity of the separated steam seal block are unfixed, the separated design of the separated steam seal block 2 is used for better inhibiting the steam leakage caused by the increase of a circumference to a certain partial gap, and the invention is not limited to the specific division of a plurality of separated steam seal blocks, and the invention mainly refers to the application field of sealing the low-pressure shaft end of a steam turbine, but other sealing conditions needing a rotor and a stator are also applicable.
The invention divides the whole circumference split type steam seal block into the independent control multi-part split type steam seal blocks 2, and the steam seal block holes 6 are arranged on each split type steam seal block 2, and the annular steam curtain is realized in the cavity of the inner sealing teeth 14 in the split type steam seal block 2 by introducing external air supply, so that the high-pressure steam curtain is utilized to prevent low-pressure steam from diffusing, and steam walls are formed at two sides, thereby avoiding non-condensing steam from entering the low-pressure cylinder through the shaft seal. Due to the eccentric rotation of the rotor 1, the gap between the separation type steam seal block 2 and the rotor 1 is increased, and steam leakage is easily caused. The temperature sensor 11 is arranged on the split type steam seal block 2 to monitor and judge whether the steam leakage is aggravated in real time, and the split type steam seal block 2 is independently controlled by adjusting external air supply through a steam valve on a pipeline, so that important reinforcement on serious parts of the steam leakage is realized, and the stability of the vacuum degree in the low-pressure cylinder is ensured.
