Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas turbine and a method for producing such a gas turbine.
  • blade flutter With blades of gas turbines, so-called blade flutter can occur during operation due to aeroelastic effects.
  • the US 2,916,258 proposes for this purpose a detuned blade arrangement with blades, which all have different masses and thus natural frequencies.
  • the blades may be formed as solid blades with different profile thicknesses or as hollow blades, each having a central cavity, wherein the cavities of different blades are different in size.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved gas turbine, in particular to reduce blade flutter in a gas turbine.

  • One or more of these stages may be turbine stages for venting gas, particularly one of these stages may be a high or low pressure turbine stage. Additionally or alternatively, one or more of these stages may be compressor stages for compressing gas, in particular one of these stages may be a high or low pressure compressor stage.
  • the first and second blades may, in particular rotorfest, blades and / or, in particular stator or housing fixed, vanes be.
  • a gas turbine according to the present invention may therefore in particular have a (high or low pressure) turbine stage with first and second turbine blades. Additionally or alternatively, this or another (high or low pressure) turbine stage may include first and second turbine vanes. Additionally or alternatively, a gas turbine according to the present invention may include a (high or low pressure) compressor stage with first and second compressor blades. Additionally or alternatively, this or another (high or low pressure) compressor stage may include first and second compressor vanes.
  • first and second blades have first and second blades.
  • one or more of these stages are comprised of first and second blades, respectively, and do not have third blades having a different cavity arrangement therefrom.
  • alternately arranged first and second blades is correspondingly understood in particular an arrangement in which each first blade on both sides immediately a second blade and each second blade on both sides immediately adjacent a first blade, optionally apart from a blade pair of first or second immediately adjacent blades at an odd number Total number of shovels of the stage.
  • a blade arrangement with only two alternately arranged blade types in one stage has surprisingly been found to be particularly favorable, in particular in order to reduce blade flutter.
  • blade arrangements of different turbine and / or compressor stages in particular adjacent or spaced apart by at least one further stage, and / or vane arrangements of these or different thereof, in particular adjacent and at least one further stage spaced turbine and / or compressor stages, each alternately arranged first and second blades, in particular to further reduce blade flutter.
  • the first (guide and / or barrel) blades each have a first cavity arrangement and the second (guide and / or barrel) blades each have a second cavity arrangement different therefrom.
  • the first and second blades may have different eigenmodes at, at least substantially, the same or similar natural frequency, so that pressure disturbances induced by the vibrating blades are different and propagate differently in the flow.
  • a first natural frequency, in particular the first bending natural frequency, of the first blades may differ by at least 2%, in particular by at least 3%, from a first natural frequency, in particular the first bending natural frequency, of the second blades. Additionally or alternatively, in one embodiment, this first natural frequency of the first blades may differ by at most 9%, in particular by at most 8%, from this first natural frequency of the second blades.
  • a vane arrangement with such natural frequency differences in one stage has surprisingly been found to be particularly favorable, in particular to reduce blade flutter.
  • the first and second cavity arrangement may differ in particular in the number of cavities.
  • the one (first / second) cavity assembly may not have a cavity, ie, the one (first / second) vanes may be full vanes, or may have one or two cavities.
  • the other (second / first) cavity arrangement may comprise one or more cavities more than the one (first / second) cavity arrangement, in particular a cavity, wherein the one (first / second) cavity arrangement has no cavity, two cavities, wherein the one (first / second) cavity assembly a cavity, or three cavities, wherein the one (first / second) cavity assembly comprises two cavities.
  • the or the cavities may in particular, at least substantially, extend parallel to a stacking axis of the respective blade.
  • Two or more cavities of a cavity assembly may communicate with each other over a limited radial length, particularly at a blade tip and / or blade root near end of the cavities.
  • a cavity in the sense of the present invention is defined in particular in at least one development cut or a section at a radial height of a blade by a closed circumferential contour and distinguished from one or more further cavities of this blade, which then according to the present invention has a plurality of cavities ,
  • the first and second cavity assemblies may in one embodiment, at least substantially, have the same volume.
  • the same volumes can also be formed by cavities with different cut surfaces or contours in at least one development cut, in that the cavities have different extensions in the longitudinal or stacking direction of the blade and / or the cut surface difference is compensated for at a different radial height.
  • first and second blades can have, at least substantially, the same weight, which can be realized in particular by the same total volumes explained above and thus the same amount of solid material, but equally also by, at least in sections, different blade materials.
  • Two cavities of a cavity arrangement can have different shapes, in particular in at least one development cut or a cut a radial height of a blade non-congruent contours.
  • a cavity of one (first / second) cavity assembly and a cavity of the other (second / first) cavity assembly corresponding thereto in its relative position to the blade may have a different shape, in particular in at least one development cut or at a radial height a scoop of non-congruent contours.
  • front edge-next cavities of the first cavity arrangement and trailing-edge-adjacent cavities of the first cavity arrangement and / or front-edge-adjacent cavities of the second cavity arrangement can have a different shape.
  • the first and second blades can be connected to one another in a materially bonded manner or, in particular, can be ur- or reshaped or welded together.
  • the first and second blades may form a so-called Blisk (Blade Integrated Disk).
  • the first and / or second cavity assemblies may be formed in one embodiment with the respective blades.
  • the blades may be cast and the cavity assemblies defined by cores.
  • the first and / or second blades are produced generatively, in particular by hardening layer-wise material locally, in particular optically, thermally and / or chemically. As a result, even more complex, in particular hermetically sealed cavity arrangements can advantageously be produced or be.
  • first and / or second cavity arrangements can also be produced after a prototyping of the blades, in particular material-removing and / or destroying, preferably by machining or vaporizing.
  • the cavity assemblies in particular their shape, placement within the blades, and / or their volume, will be to reduce vane traps from a step having at least two adjacent ones Blades matched with the first or second cavity assembly. This can be done in particular simulatively and / or experimentally.

  • the first blades 12 each have a different first cavity arrangement.
  • the first cavity arrangement consists of two cavities 21A, 21B, which in the section of the Fig. 1 are separated from each other. In one cut at a different radial height, they can communicate with each other in one embodiment. Likewise, they may also be completed, particularly if in one embodiment the blades are made generative so that the first and second cavity assemblies are formed into urethra with the blades.
  • the first and second cavity arrangement thus has a different number of cavities. Nevertheless, the first and second cavity arrangements, at least essentially, the same volume. In particular, they have on average the Fig. 1 the same total sectional area, that is, the sectional area of the cavity 20 corresponds, at least substantially, the sum of the sectional areas of the cavities 21A, 21B, wherein the extension of the cavities 20, 21A, 21B in the radial direction (perpendicular to the image plane of the Fig. 1 ) also corresponds to each other, at least substantially. Equally, in one embodiment, the cavities of the first and second cavity arrangement may also have different total areas in at least one development cut. This may be compensated for in other development cuts and / or by the radial extent of the cavities to form, at least substantially, equal volumes of first and second cavity assemblies.
  • first and second blades correspond to each other structurally, in particular in their outer contour and their material, they have, at least substantially, the same weight.
