Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Strömungsmaschine mit einer Brennkammer, insbesondere eine Gasturbine. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Verfahren zur Demontage eines Elementes der Strömungsmaschine.The present invention relates to a turbomachine with a combustion chamber, in particular a gas turbine. The invention also relates to a method for disassembling an element of the turbomachine.
Strömungsmaschinen, wie beispielsweise Gasturbinen, sind heutzutage in der Kraftwerkstechnik weit verbreitet und insbesondere dann wirtschaftlich, wenn sie kontinuierlich laufen. Längere Stillstandszeiten sowie ein häufiges Hoch- bzw. Herunterfahren der Turbine wirken sich zum einen negativ auf die Lebensdauer der Turbine aus, da die Materialbelastung insbesondere beim Hoch- und Herunterfahren besonders hoch ist, zum anderen bedingen längere Stillstandszeiten, beispielsweise durch Wartungsarbeiten, hohe Kosten bzw. Einnahmenausfall. Um einerseits also die Materialbelastung und andererseits die Kosten so gering wie möglich zu halten, ist man bestrebt, die Strömungsmaschinen im Dauerbetrieb einzusetzen. Selbstverständlich lässt sich ein temporäres Stilllegen der Strömungsmaschine aufgrund von durchzuführenden Wartungsarbeiten nicht vermeiden, wobei jedoch diese Stillstandszeiten so kurz wie möglich sein sollten.Turbomachines, such as gas turbines, are now widely used in power plant engineering, and particularly economically, when running continuously. Longer downtimes and frequent startup or shutdown of the turbine have a negative effect on the service life of the turbine, since the material load is particularly high during startup and shutdown, on the other hand require longer downtime, for example by maintenance, high costs or Revenue loss. On the one hand so as to keep the material load and on the other hand, the costs as low as possible, it is anxious to use the turbomachinery in continuous operation. Of course, a temporary shutdown of the turbomachine due to maintenance to be performed can not be avoided, but these downtime should be as short as possible.
Auf die Länge der Stillstandszeiten hat insbesondere Einfluss, wie wartungsfreundlich die Strömungsmaschine aufgebaut ist, das heißt, wie einfach und schnell sie gewartet werden kann. Dabei verlängern komplizierte und aufwändige Konstruktionen die Stillstandszeit und verteuern die Wartung.On the length of downtime in particular affects how easy maintenance the turbomachine is built, that is, how easy and fast it can be maintained. At the same time, complicated and time-consuming designs extend downtime and make maintenance more expensive.
Der Druckschrift
Hier setzt die Erfindung an. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Strömungsmaschine der eingangs erwähnten Art eine Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich durch eine hohe Wartungsfreundlichkeit, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Brennkammerkomponenten, auszeichnet und damit erheblich reduzierte Stillstandszeiten und in deren Folge reduzierte Wartungskosten ermöglicht.This is where the invention starts. The invention, as characterized in the claims, deals with the problem of specifying for a turbomachine of the type mentioned an embodiment which is characterized by a high ease of maintenance, in particular with regard to the combustion chamber components, and thus significantly reduced downtime and as a result reduced maintenance costs.
Dieses Problem wird durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Strömungsmaschine mit einer Brennkammer konstruktiv so aufzubauen, dass im Wartungsfalle auf deren Komponenten einfach und schnell zugegriffen werden kann zum Zwecke der Besichtigung, der Wartung, des Aus- oder des Wiedereinbaus der Komponenten. Hierzu ist am Gehäuse zumindest im Bereich der Brennkammer eine verschließbare Wartungsöffnung vorgesehen, welche einfach und schnell zu öffnen ist und in geöffnetem Zustand einen Zugang zu einem Außenträger, einem Innenträger und einer Frontplatte freigibt. Der Außenträger, der Innenträger und die Frontplatte begrenzen zusammen die Brennkammer und sind dadurch hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt. Diese Temperaturbelastung wiederum bedingt eine intervallmäßige Wartung, bei der die Funktionstüchtigkeit der genannten Teile überprüft wird und die Teile ggf. erneuert oder ausgetauscht werden. Der Außenträger, der Innenträger und die Frontplatte sind als ringförmige Schalenelemente ausgebildet, die jeweils eine untere Halbschale und eine damit verbindbare obere Halbschale aufweisen. Um den Außenträger, den Innenträger und die Frontplatte einfach und passgenau montieren zu können, weisen diese axial wirkende Verbindungskonturen auf, welche ein einfaches und schnelles Lösen bzw. Verbinden der genannten Teile durch Verschieben in axialer Richtung erlauben. Durch die Aufteilung der ringförmigen Schalenelemente in jeweils eine untere und eine damit verbindbare obere Halbschale lassen sich die Halbschalen durch die z.B. an der Oberseite angebrachte Wartungsöffnung montieren und demontieren, wodurch der Wartungsaufwand erheblich gesenkt werden kann.The invention is based on the general idea constructively construct a turbomachine with a combustion chamber so that in the case of maintenance on the components can be easily and quickly accessed for the purpose of viewing, maintenance, the replacement or replacement of the components. For this purpose, a closable maintenance opening is provided on the housing at least in the region of the combustion chamber, which can be opened easily and quickly and, in the opened state, gives access to an outer support, an inner support and a front panel. The outer support, the inner support and the front panel together limit the combustion chamber and are thus exposed to high temperatures. These Temperature load in turn requires an interval maintenance, in which the functioning of said parts is checked and the parts may be renewed or replaced. The outer support, the inner support and the front panel are formed as annular shell elements, each having a lower half-shell and an upper half-shell connectable therewith. In order to mount the outer support, the inner support and the front panel easy and accurate, these have axially acting connection contours, which allow a simple and quick release or connection of the said parts by moving in the axial direction. By dividing the annular shell elements in each case a lower and thus connectable upper half-shell, the half-shells can be assembled and disassembled by the example mounted on the top maintenance opening, whereby the maintenance can be significantly reduced.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist zumindest eine der Verbindungskonturen als axial offene Umfangsnut oder als mit dieser Umfangsnut zusammenwirkende Umfangsfeder ausgebildet. Die so erzielte Nut- und Federwirkung erleichtert einerseits das Auseinanderbauen bzw. das Zusammenbauen der Strömungsmaschine und gewährleistet andererseits ein passgenaues Aneinanderfügen der die Brennkammer begrenzenden Schalenelemente. Darüber hinaus sind auch andere Verbindungskonturen, insbesondere in Form von komplementär zueinander ausgebildeten Vorsprüngen bzw. Ausnehmungen denkbar, welche ebenfalls die eben genannten Vorteile bieten.In a preferred embodiment of the solution according to the invention, at least one of the connecting contours is designed as an axially open circumferential groove or as a peripheral spring interacting with this circumferential groove. The tongue and groove effect achieved on the one hand facilitates the disassembly or assembling of the turbomachine and on the other hand ensures a precisely fitting joining of the combustion chamber delimiting shell elements. In addition, other connecting contours, in particular in the form of mutually complementary projections or recesses conceivable, which also offer the advantages just mentioned.
Vorzugsweise sind die oberen Halbschalen so ausgebildet, dass sie zur Demontage bezüglich eines Rotors der Strömungsmaschine axial verschiebbar und anschließend radial abnehmbar sind. Zur Demontage der oberen Halbschalen ist somit ein Lösen derselben von der entsprechenden unteren Halbschale bzw. von einem Gehäuse erforderlich, woraufhin die oberen Halbschalen axial verschoben und somit die Verbindungskonturen voneinander gelöst werden können. Nach dem Lösen der axialen Verbindungskonturen können die oberen Halbschalen, beispielsweise mittels eines Hebewerkzeuges, radial bezüglich des Rotors abgenommen werden. Die Montage der oberen Halbschalen erfolgt dabei in umgekehrter Reihenfolge, so dass diese zunächst radial an den Rotor angenähert werden und vor Erreichen ihrer endgültigen Einbauposition parallel zum Rotor derart verschoben werden, dass die Verbindungskonturen formschlüssig ineinander greifen bzw. aneinander anliegen. Hierdurch wird ein einfaches Abbauen der oberen Halbschale ermöglicht, was insbesondere Wartungsarbeiten erleichtert.Preferably, the upper half shells are formed so that they are axially displaceable for disassembly with respect to a rotor of the turbomachine and then radially removable. For disassembly of the upper half shells thus releasing the same from the corresponding lower half-shell or from a housing is required, whereupon the upper Half shells axially displaced and thus the connection contours can be detached from each other. After loosening the axial connection contours, the upper half shells, for example by means of a lifting tool, can be removed radially with respect to the rotor. The assembly of the upper half shells takes place in the reverse order, so that they are initially approximated radially to the rotor and are moved parallel to the rotor before reaching their final installation position such that the connecting contours engage one another positively or rest against each other. As a result, a simple dismantling of the upper half-shell is made possible, which facilitates in particular maintenance.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung sind die unteren Halbschalen so ausgebildet, dass sie zu ihrer Demontage mittels eines Hilfswerkzeugs, welches drehfest mit dem Rotor verbindbar ist, axial verschiebbar und um die Rotorachse bzw. mit dem Rotor nach oben verdrehbar sind. Nach der Demontage der oberen Halbschale ist der Zugang zur unteren Halbschale frei, woraufhin besagtes Hilfswerkzeug einerseits drehfest mit dem Rotor und andererseits fest mit der unteren Halbschale verbunden werden kann. Nach dem Lösen von etwa vorhandenen Verbindungsmitteln, mit welchen die untere Halbschale am Gehäuse und/oder an einer anderen unteren Halbschale befestigt ist, kann die untere Halbschale z.B. mittels zweier beweglich am Hilfswerkzeug angeordneter Schlitten parallel zum Rotor und damit aus der Verbindungskontur heraus verschoben werden. Nach dem Verschieben kann die untere Halbschale mit dem Rotor um ca. 180° nach oben gedreht werden und dann einfach mit einem Hebewerkzeug, beispielsweise einem Kran, abgenommen werden. Durch nochmaliges Drehen der Rotorachse um 180° kann auch das Hilfswerkzeug wiederum nach oben gedreht werden und nach dem Lösen der Verbindungsmittel zwischen Hilfswerkzeug und Rotor von letzterem abgenommen werden. Die erwähnten Halbschalen können dabei Halbschalen der Frontplatte, des Außenträgers oder des Innenträgers sein. Ingesamt wird dadurch der Montage- bzw. Demontageprozess der beiden Halbschalen stark vereinfacht.In a further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention, the lower half-shells are designed so that they are axially displaceable for their disassembly by means of an auxiliary tool, which is rotatably connected to the rotor, and rotatable about the rotor axis or with the rotor upwards. After disassembly of the upper half-shell access to the lower half-shell is free, whereupon said auxiliary tool on the one hand rotatably connected to the rotor and on the other hand firmly connected to the lower half-shell. After loosening any existing connection means with which the lower half shell is attached to the housing and / or another lower half shell, the lower half shell can be moved for example by means of two movably arranged on the auxiliary tool carriage parallel to the rotor and thus out of the connection contour. After moving the lower half-shell with the rotor can be rotated by about 180 ° upwards and then easily with a lifting tool, such as a crane, removed. By turning the rotor axis again by 180 °, the auxiliary tool can be turned upwards again and removed after loosening the connecting means between the auxiliary tool and the rotor of the latter. The half shells mentioned can be half shells of the front panel, the outdoor wearer or be the interior carrier. Overall, this greatly simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the two half-shells.

Die erfindungsgemäße Strömungsmaschine 2 bzw. das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Demontieren des Außenträgers 3 und/oder des Innenträgers 5 bzw. der Frontplatte 4 weisen dabei mehrere grundlegende Vorteile auf. Das Gehäuse 8 muss im Bereich der Brennkammer 1 lediglich eine Wartungsöffnung aufweisen bzw. derart ausgebildet sein, dass ein oberes Gehäuseteil 8' abnehmbar ist. Hierdurch wird der Zugang zu den oberen Halbschalen 15 des Außenträgers 3, des Innenträgers 5 und der Frontplatte 4 freigebeben. Durch die Ausbildung eben genannter Elemente mit jeweils zwei Schalen, nämlich der unteren Halbschale 14 und der oberen Halbschale 15, kann ein stückweises Abnehmen der Halbschalen 14, 15 erfolgen.

Durch die Ausbildung von Adapterschlitten 18 am Hilfswerkzeug 16, welche einfach und schnell mit der jeweiligen unteren Halbschale 14 des Außenträgers 3, der Frontplatte 4 und des Innenträgers 5 verbindbar sind, ist zusätzlich ein axiales Verschieben eben genannter Elemente und dadurch ein Lösen derselben aus deren Verbindungskonturen 7 problemlos möglich. Prinzipiell erfolgt dabei eine Demontage der Elemente der Strömungsmaschine 2 in der Reihenfolge Außenträger 3, Frontplatte 4 und Innenträger 5.

Austauschen und Wiederzusammenbauen des Außenträgers 3, der Frontplatte 4 und des Innenträgers 5, erheblich, wodurch der Wartungsaufwand und damit auch die Wartungskosten sowie damit verbundene Stillstandszeiten der Strömungsmaschine 2 deutlich reduziert werden können.The
