ОПОРА РОТОРА ГАЗОТУРБИННОГО ДВИГАТЕЛЯ

Номер: RU0000173697U1

Полезная модель относится к роторным газотурбинным машинам и может быть использована в конструкциях опор роторов, позволяющих регулировать осевые силы на радиально-упорном подшипнике. Применение опоры ротора позволяет регулировать осевые силы на одной из опор роторов с роликовым радиальным подшипником за счет гидродинамических сил радиального потока масла, проходящего с определенной скоростью в щелевом зазоре между кольцом, связанным со статором и торцом внутреннего кольца подшипника, и позволяет увеличить ресурс радиально-упорного подшипника, находящегося на другой опоре, за счет уменьшения осевой силы, действующей на него без изменения тяговых характеристик двигателя. Реализуемый конструкцией опоры метод компенсации осевых сил существенно упрощает монтаж опоры, не требует дополнительных энергетических затрат и сложных конструктивных решений, а использует кинетическую энергию масла, применяемого для смазывания и охлаждения подшипников, и позволяет отказаться от забора воздуха из газодинамического тракта и уплотнений между вращающимися частями ротора и статором при пневматическом или гидравлическом подходе компенсации сил, что повышает коэффициент полезного действия двигателя. 3 ил.

Temperature reducing flange for steam turbine inlets

Номер: US20120228862A1
Принадлежит: General Electric Co

An intermediate, temperature reducing flange is inserted between an external steam (process) connection flange and first pressure vessel, or outer shell of a turbine or a second pressure vessel, or inner shell of the turbine. The temperature reducing flange has an integral portion that is exposed to an internal turbine area that is at a lower temperature than the steam in the steam inlet port of the turbine. This portion provides for a cooling effect, thus isolating the outer shell of the turbine from the high temperature of the steam pipe. Isolating the highest temperature connections from the remainder of the outer shell allows use of lower cost alloys for the outer shell.

ACTIVE THRUST MANAGEMENT OF A TURBOPUMP WITHIN A SUPERCRITICAL WORKING FLUID CIRCUIT IN A HEAT ENGINE SYSTEM

Номер: US20200208536A1
Автор: BOWAN Brett
Принадлежит:

Aspects of the invention disclosed herein generally provide a heat engine system, a turbopump system, and methods for lubricating a turbopump while generating energy. The systems and methods provide proper lubrication and cooling to turbomachinery components by controlling pressures applied to a thrust bearing in the turbopump. The applied pressure on the thrust bearing may be controlled by a turbopump back-pressure regulator valve adjusted to maintain proper pressures within bearing pockets disposed on two opposing surfaces of the thrust bearing. Pocket pressure ratios, such as a turbine-side pocket pressure ratio (P1) and a pump-side pocket pressure ratio (P2), may be monitored and adjusted by a process control system. In order to prevent damage to the thrust bearing, the systems and methods may utilize advanced control theory of sliding mode, the multi-variables of the pocket pressure ratios P1 and P2, and regulating the bearing fluid to maintain a supercritical state. 1. A heat engine system , comprising:a working fluid circuit to contain a working fluid, the working fluid circuit having a high pressure side and a low pressure side, wherein a portion of the working fluid is in a supercritical state when the heat engine system is in operation;a heat exchanger fluidly coupled to and in thermal communication with the high pressure side of the working fluid circuit and fluidly coupled to and in thermal communication with a heat source stream, the heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy from the heat source stream to the working fluid within the high pressure side;an expander fluidly coupled to the working fluid circuit and disposed between the high pressure side and the low pressure side to convert a pressure drop in the working fluid to mechanical energy;a rotating shaft coupled to the expander to drive a device with the mechanical energy;a recuperator fluidly coupled to the working fluid circuit to transfer thermal energy from the working fluid in the low ...
