Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotor for traction engines such as turbines and, more specifically, to a first phase, or action phase, of a rotor of a vapor turbine.
  • a vapor turbine is a rotary machine which exploits the thermal energy of pressurized vapor for converting it to useful mechanical energy. This energy transformation takes place with intermediate transformation into kinetic energy.
  • All the phases of a vapor turbine consist of two essential organs: a distributor, in which the thermal energy is either totally or partially converted into kinetic energy, and a disk wheel, in which the residual thermal energy contained in the vapor is converted into kinetic energy and it is then all transferred into mechanical energy which can be used at the shaft.
  • stator blades or nozzles
  • rotor blades are moveable and are integral with the shaft.
  • stator the fixed parts in contact with the vapor
  • rotor the unit consisting of the shaft and parts integral therewith
  • reaction The phases are characterized by the mode with which the vapor yields its energy to the shaft, and on the basis of this are called “action” or “reaction”.
  • reaction In order to optimize the performances and costs, action and reaction phases can be found in a single vapor turbine.
  • the action step consists of fixed nozzles which cause the expansion of the vapor, creating high-velocity jets and kinetic energy, with a strongly angular direction with respect to the axis of the machine.
  • the jets meet the rotor blades, they considerably vary the direction as a result of the specific concave profile, and the vapor yields part of its kinetic energy in the form of mechanical rotation energy to the shaft.
  • This phenomenon can cause a lack of contact between adjacent blades and consequently excessive vibrations of the blades themselves which, under resonance conditions, can cause the cracking and consequent breakage of the blades.
  • An objective of the present invention is therefore to overcome the above drawback, by providing a rotor for vapor turbines which avoids or in any case reduces the breakage of blades due to the use of wet vapor and, at the same time, which allows a high aerodynamic efficiency.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pack of blades grouped together on a rotor for vapor turbines according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a single blade before the riveting of the covering belt of the rotor of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a side view of a single blade before the riveting of the covering belt of the rotor of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a transversal sectional view of a single blade of the rotor of FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 1 of the enclosed drawings show a sector of a rotor for vapor turbines according to the present invention, indicated as a whole with the reference number 10 .
  • Each sector 10 comprises a varying number of blades 12 arranged circumferentially on the rotor.
  • the blades 12 are grouped into sectors 10 of four blades 12 each to form a rotor equipped with a total of hundred-and-twelve blades divided into twenty-eight sectors.
  • each blade 12 comprises a first concave surface 14 , which is pressurized for the action of the vapor, and a second convex surface 16 , which, on the contrary, is in depression and which is opposite the first surface 14 .
  • the two concave 14 and convex 16 surfaces are continuous and connected to each other, and together form the overall aerodynamic profile, or side, of the blade 12 ( FIG. 4 ).
  • a base portion 18 commonly called “foot”, of the blades 12 there is therefore a connecting joint 20 with the above aerodynamic profile of each blade 12 , said base portion 18 being formed in a single piece with the blades 12 and being suitable for being fixed to the main body or disk 22 of the rotor of a vapor turbine.
  • a covering belt 24 is also envisaged, also called “top” of the blades 12 , which form an outer ring for the rotor.
  • the jets of vapor coming from the fixed nozzles are directed onto the concave surface 14 of the blades 12 , between the base portion 18 and the covering belt 24 , to start the movement of the rotor.
  • each blade 12 has, on its contact portion with the covering belt 24 , one or more pins 26 ( FIG. 2 ) which are inserted in corresponding holes situated on the covering belt 24 itself, said pins 26 then being riveted after insertion in the above holes to effect the definitive coupling between the covering belt 24 and the blades 12 .
  • the coupling between the base portion 18 of the blades 12 and the disk 22 of the rotor is effected by “fork” insertion in the radial direction of the rotor itself.
  • the rotor of a first phase of a vapor turbine achieves the objective specified above of reducing the breakages of the blades, due in particular to the use of wet vapor, by means of a series of expedients which at the same time do not jeopardize the aerodynamic efficiency of the turbine as a whole.
  • the rotor of a first phase of a vapor turbine of the present invention thus conceived can in any case undergo numerous modifications and variants, all included in the same inventive concept.
