- a turbine blade in this regard is often equipped with an internally cooled turbine blade blade in order to be able to thermally and mechanically withstand even the high temperatures prevailing in the turbine, in particular in a hot gas turbine.
- the turbine blades are often subject to higher thermal and mechanical loads, and it hardly matters whether the turbine blade is a guide blade or a moving blade of the turbine.
- an internally cooled turbine blade has a cavity through which a cooling medium can be passed.
- a rib element or a large number of rib elements is often additionally arranged in order to form at least one cooling channel in the cavity with an often meandering cooling channel course, as can be seen, for example, in FIG US 2010/0329888 A1 are known.
- non-meandering cooling channels such rib elements are, for example, from EP 1 757 773 A1 or also from the EP 2 497 903 A2 or the US5296308A known.
- both a relevant front side wall and a corresponding rear side wall of the turbine blade in the region of a rib element stiffening the turbine blade can be subjected to high thermo-mechanical loads.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a turbine blade according to claim 1.
- the targeted reduction or saving of material in an area surrounding the rib element according to the invention makes it possible, especially in transition areas between the rib element and the outer walls, i.e. the front and rear side walls, of the turbine blade, on the front side or the rear side itself, but also in the rib element per se, especially thermo-mechanically caused stresses are significantly reduced, which means that material fatigue in critical areas can be delayed accordingly.
- the material recess is configured as at least a partial wall thickness reduction of a turbine blade wall and/or configured as at least one concave cavity on a turbine blade wall.
- the material recess is designed in the shape of a bowl.
- the present material recess is arranged, for example, as a concave dent in the outer wall of the turbine bucket blade.
- the material recess is arranged axially in front of a head side of a rib element end that ends freely in the cooling channel on a turbine bucket blade wall.
- the material recess is arranged next to the head side of the end of the rib element in such a way that the material recess is arranged in an imaginary extension of the rib element along its longitudinal extension.
- higher critical stress states can occur, which then promote early material fatigue there.
- thermo-mechanical stresses occurring there, in particular in the turbine bucket blade can be reduced more favorably.
- the material recess can be arranged at different distances from the rib element, in particular from the rib element end, especially with regard to different designs of different turbine blades.
- the material recess is less than 30 mm or preferably less than 20 mm, more preferably less than 10 mm, is spaced from the rib member on a turbine airfoil wall.
- the material recess can reach up to the rib element or even be worked into the rib element.
- the rib element can have the material recess at least partially.
- the material recess is preferably arranged at a distance of more than 1 mm or more than 5 mm from the rib element.
- thermo-mechanical stresses caused by temperature differences between the suction side and the pressure side of the turbine airfoil can be significantly reduced in critical areas of the turbine airfoil.
- the present material recess is designed in such a way that it enables improved stress distribution within the rib element, in transition areas between the actual rib element and the front side wall of the turbine bucket blade and/or the back side wall of the turbine bucket blade, but also in the actual outer walls of the turbine bucket blade.
- a stress reduction of at least 10% or preferably of more than 20% or 25% can be achieved in particular in critical surrounding areas or areas around the end of the rib element.
- material fatigue covers in particular the formation of fatigue cracks, which are specifically caused by thermo-mechanical fatigue of the blade material.
- LCF fatigue Low Cycle Fatigue
- short-term or low load change fatigue should be mentioned in particular with regard to a low number of load changes.
- the possible number of load cycles can be increased by more than twice, in particular by more than three times, the previous usual number of load cycles.
- the number of achievable load changes can be significantly increased and thus specifically the risk of premature LCF fatigue can be significantly reduced if a corresponding material recess is provided according to the invention in the area surrounding the rib element. It has been shown that the material recess according to the invention can significantly increase a relevant LCF life expectancy of a turbine blade.
- a preferred variant provides that the material recess is arranged in an area surrounding an end of the rib element ending freely in the cooling channel. Increased and/or increased thermo-mechanical stresses can occur specifically in a region surrounding a rib element end, which ends in an exposed manner in a turbine blade airfoil cavity, and can cause more rapid material fatigue there.
- the material recess can be constructed in different ways. It is particularly advantageous if the material recess is designed as at least one concave cavity on a turbine blade wall. A concave cavity affects the aerodynamics on the turbine bucket blade only very slightly, if at all.

- a turbine whose turbine blades are less stressed or endangered by material fatigue can not only be operated more reliably and with less maintenance, but also has a longer service life overall and can therefore be operated more economically.
- the turbine blade 1 shown at least partially in each case is a rotor blade 2 of a hot gas turbine, not shown here.
- the turbine blade 1 has an internally cooled turbine blade blade 3, the inside 4 of the front side wall 5 of the turbine blade blade 3 being shown here (FIG. 1).
- the turbine bucket blade 3 has a cavity 10, this cavity 10 being illustrated only partially by the inner side 4 with regard to FIG.
- a multiply wound cooling channel 13 with a meandering course of the cooling channel within the cavity 10 is configured. Cooling air as a coolant can be passed through the turbine bucket blade 3 along the winding cooling duct 13 or its meandering cooling duct course in order to cool it from the inside.
- cooling channel 13 In the partially shown cooling channel 13, the flow from a foot area and thus from the direction of an opening 14 (see only figure 2 ) of a turbine blade root 15 essentially directly through a first cooling channel section 16 facing the leading edge area 6 and a further cooling channel section 17 facing the trailing edge area 7.
- the meandering course of the cooling channel of the winding cooling channel 13 is configured, at least in the area of the partial view shown, in particular by the two rib elements 11 and 12, with the first rib element 11 spatially separating the two cooling channel sections 16 and 17 from one another.

- a material recess 29 is therefore formed on the inside 4 in the surrounding area 28 of the rib element end 24 in order to achieve an advantageous stress reduction in this surrounding area 28 of the rib element end 24 .

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Turbinenschaufel mit einem innengekühlten Turbinenschaufelblatt, in welchem ein Hohlraum durch Rippenelemente in wenigstens einen Kühlmittel führenden Kühlkanal unterteilt ist und wobei das betreffende Rippenelement sich bis zu einem in dem Kühlkanal frei endenden Rippenelementende längserstreckt.The invention relates to a turbine blade with an internally cooled turbine blade blade in which a cavity is subdivided by rib elements into at least one cooling channel carrying coolant and the relevant rib element extends longitudinally to a rib element end ending freely in the cooling channel.
Die Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren eine Turbine, insbesondere eine Gasturbine, mit zumindest einer Turbinenstufe umfassend eine Vielzahl an Turbinenschaufeln.The invention also relates to a turbine, in particular a gas turbine, with at least one turbine stage comprising a large number of turbine blades.
Gattungsgemäße Turbinenschaufeln sowie Turbinen und Gasturbinen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bereits gut bekannt.Generic turbine blades as well as turbines and gas turbines are already well known from the prior art.
Oftmals ist eine diesbezügliche Turbinenschaufel mit einem innengekühlten Turbinenschaufelblatt ausgerüstet, um selbst hohen in der Turbine, insbesondere in einer Heißgasturbine, vorherrschenden Temperaturen thermisch und mechanisch standhalten zu können. Gerade in Heißgasturbinen sind die Turbinenschaufeln oftmals thermisch und mechanisch höher belastet, wobei es hierbei kaum eine Rolle spielt, ob es sich bei der Turbinenschaufel um eine Leitschaufel oder um eine Laufschaufel der Turbine handelt. Um eine verbesserte Kühlung der Turbinenschaufel zu ermöglichen, besitzt ein derartiges innengekühltes Turbinenschaufelblatt einen Hohlraum, durch welchen ein Kühlmedium hindurch geleitet werden kann. In diesem Hohlraum ist oftmals zusätzlich noch ein Rippenelement oder eine Vielzahl an Rippenelementen angeordnet, um in dem Hohlraum wenigstens einen Kühlkanal mit einem oftmals mäandrierenden Kühlkanalverlauf auszubilden, wie sie beispielsweise aus der
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, gattungsgemäße Turbinenschaufeln weiterzuentwickeln, um zumindest die vorstehend genannten Nachteile zu überwinden.It is the object of the invention to further develop generic turbine blades in order to overcome at least the disadvantages mentioned above.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird von einer Turbinenschaufel gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object of the invention is achieved by a turbine blade according to claim 1.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße gezielte Reduzierung bzw. Einsparung an Material in einem Umgebungsbereich des Rippenelements können speziell in Übergangsbereichen zwischen dem Rippenelement und den Außenwänden, also den Vorder- bzw. Rückseitenwänden, der Turbinenschaufel, an der Vorderseite oder der Rückseite selbst, aber auch in dem Rippenelement an sich, speziell thermo-mechanisch verursachte Spannungen signifikant reduziert werden, wodurch eine Materialermüdung in diesbezüglich kritischen Gebieten entsprechend gut verzögert werden kann.The targeted reduction or saving of material in an area surrounding the rib element according to the invention makes it possible, especially in transition areas between the rib element and the outer walls, i.e. the front and rear side walls, of the turbine blade, on the front side or the rear side itself, but also in the rib element per se, especially thermo-mechanically caused stresses are significantly reduced, which means that material fatigue in critical areas can be delayed accordingly.
Die Materialausnehmung ist als wenigstens eine partielle Wandstärkenreduzierung einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand ausgestaltet und/oder als wenigstens eine konkave Aushöhlung an einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand ausgestaltet. Beispielsweise ist die Materialausnehmung schalenförmig ausgestaltet.The material recess is configured as at least a partial wall thickness reduction of a turbine blade wall and/or configured as at least one concave cavity on a turbine blade wall. For example, the material recess is designed in the shape of a bowl.
Nach einer zweiten Variante der Erfindung ist die vorliegende Materialausnehmung beispielsweise als konkave Delle in der Turbinenschaufelblattaußenwand angeordnet.According to a second variant of the invention, the present material recess is arranged, for example, as a concave dent in the outer wall of the turbine bucket blade.
Zudem ist die Materialausnehmung axial vor einer Kopfseite eines in dem Kühlkanal frei endenden Rippenelementendes an einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten: die Materialausnehmung ist derart neben der Kopfseite des Rippenelementendes angeordnet ist, dass die Materialausnehmung in einer gedachten Verlängerung des Rippenelements längs seiner Längserstreckung angeordnet ist. Speziell in einem Bereich axial vor dem Rippenelementende, welches auch eine Innenkurvenbegrenzung des Kühlkanals formuliert, können sich höhere kritische Spannungszustände einstellen, welche dort dann eine frühzeitige Materialermüdung begünstigen.In addition, the material recess is arranged axially in front of a head side of a rib element end that ends freely in the cooling channel on a turbine bucket blade wall. In other words: the material recess is arranged next to the head side of the end of the rib element in such a way that the material recess is arranged in an imaginary extension of the rib element along its longitudinal extension. Especially in an area axially in front of the end of the rib element, which also formulates an inner curve limitation of the cooling channel, higher critical stress states can occur, which then promote early material fatigue there.
Ist die Materialausnehmung axial vor der Kopfseite des Rippenelementendes platziert, lassen sich dort insbesondere in dem Turbinenschaufelblatt auftretende thermo-mechanische Spannungen günstiger reduzieren.If the material recess is placed axially in front of the head side of the end of the rib element, thermo-mechanical stresses occurring there, in particular in the turbine bucket blade, can be reduced more favorably.
Die Materialausnehmung kann in unterschiedlichen Abständen von dem Rippenelement, insbesondere von dem Rippenelementende, entfernt angeordnet sein kann, speziell im Hinblick auf unterschiedliche Designs verschiedener Turbinenschaufeln. Um Spannungen innerhalb des Turbinenschaufelblatts hinsichtlich einer Vermeidung einer schnellen Materialermüdung günstig leiten zu können, ist die Materialausnehmung weniger als 30 mm oder vorzugweise weniger als 20 mm, besonderes vorzugt weniger als 10 mm, von dem Rippenelement beabstandet an einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand angeordnet ist.The material recess can be arranged at different distances from the rib element, in particular from the rib element end, especially with regard to different designs of different turbine blades. In order to be able to conduct stresses within the turbine bucket blade in a favorable manner with a view to avoiding rapid material fatigue, the material recess is less than 30 mm or preferably less than 20 mm, more preferably less than 10 mm, is spaced from the rib member on a turbine airfoil wall.
Die Materialausnehmung kann hierbei bis an das Rippenelement heranreichen oder sogar bis in das Rippenelement hinein gearbeitet sein. Bei letzterer Version kann das Rippenelement die Materialausnehmung zumindest teilweise aufweisen. Bevorzugt ist die Materialausnehmung jedoch mehr als 1 mm oder als 5 mm von dem Rippenelement entfernt angeordnet.The material recess can reach up to the rib element or even be worked into the rib element. In the latter version, the rib element can have the material recess at least partially. However, the material recess is preferably arranged at a distance of more than 1 mm or more than 5 mm from the rib element.
Insbesondere können durch Temperaturunterschiede zwischen der Saugseite und der Druckseite des Turbinenschaufelblatts hervorgerufene thermo-mechanische Spannungen signifikant in kritischen Gebieten des Turbinenschaufelblatts reduziert werden.In particular, thermo-mechanical stresses caused by temperature differences between the suction side and the pressure side of the turbine airfoil can be significantly reduced in critical areas of the turbine airfoil.
Es versteht sich, dass vorliegend nicht nur eine einzelne Materialausnehmung, sondern mehrere Materialausnehmungen in der Umgebung des Rippenelements an einer der Schaufelblattaußenwandungen angeordnet sein können, um einer Materialermüdung besser entgegenzuwirken.It goes without saying that in the present case not just a single material recess, but rather a plurality of material recesses can be arranged in the vicinity of the rib element on one of the outer walls of the airfoil in order to better counteract material fatigue.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die vorliegende Materialausnehmung derart ausgestaltet, dass sie eine verbesserte Spannungsverteilung innerhalb des Rippenelements, in Übergangsbereichen zwischen dem eigentlichen Rippenelement und der Vorderseitenwand des Turbinenschaufelblatts und/oder der Rückseitenwand des Turbinenschaufelblatts, aber auch in den eigentlichen Außenwänden des Turbinenschaufelblatts ermöglichen. Hierdurch kann insbesondere in kritischen Umgebungsbereichen bzw. Gebieten um das Rippenelementende herum eine Spannungsreduzierung von mindestens 10% oder vorzugsweise von mehr als 20% oder 25% erzielt werden.Advantageously, the present material recess is designed in such a way that it enables improved stress distribution within the rib element, in transition areas between the actual rib element and the front side wall of the turbine bucket blade and/or the back side wall of the turbine bucket blade, but also in the actual outer walls of the turbine bucket blade. In this way, a stress reduction of at least 10% or preferably of more than 20% or 25% can be achieved in particular in critical surrounding areas or areas around the end of the rib element.
Mit dem Begriff "Materialermüdung" ist im Sinne der Erfindung insbesondere eine Ermüdungsrissbildung erfasst, welche speziell durch eine thermo-mechanische Ermüdung des Schaufelblattmaterials hervorgerufen wird.In the context of the invention, the term “material fatigue” covers in particular the formation of fatigue cracks, which are specifically caused by thermo-mechanical fatigue of the blade material.
In diesem Zusammenhang ist insbesondere die LCF-Ermüdung (Low Cycle Fatigue), also die Kurzzeit- oder Niedriglastwechselermüdung, hinsichtlich einer niedrigen Lastwechselzahl zu nennen. Vorliegend kann die mögliche Lastwechselzahl um mehr als das zweifache, insbesondere um mehr als das dreifache, bisheriger üblicher Lastwechselzahlen erhöht werden.In this context, LCF fatigue (Low Cycle Fatigue), i.e. short-term or low load change fatigue, should be mentioned in particular with regard to a low number of load changes. In the present case, the possible number of load cycles can be increased by more than twice, in particular by more than three times, the previous usual number of load cycles.
Jedenfalls kann die Anzahl der erzielbaren Lastwechsel erheblich erhöht und damit speziell die Gefahr einer vorzeitigen LCF-Ermüdung signifikant gesenkt werden, wenn in dem Umgebungsbereich des Rippenelements erfindungsgemäß eine entsprechende Materialausnehmung vorgesehen ist. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass durch die erfindungsgemäße Materialausnehmung eine diesbezügliche LCF-Lebenserwartung einer Turbinenschaufel signifikant gesteigert werden kann.In any case, the number of achievable load changes can be significantly increased and thus specifically the risk of premature LCF fatigue can be significantly reduced if a corresponding material recess is provided according to the invention in the area surrounding the rib element. It has been shown that the material recess according to the invention can significantly increase a relevant LCF life expectancy of a turbine blade.
Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Materialausnehmung in einem Umgebungsbereich eines frei in dem Kühlkanal endenden Rippenelementendes angeordnet ist. Speziell in einem Umgebungsbereich eines Rippenelementendes, welches freiliegend in einem Turbinenschaufelblatthohlraum endet, können vermehrt und/oder erhöhte thermo-mechanische Spannungen auftreten und dort eine raschere Materialermüdung verursachen.A preferred variant provides that the material recess is arranged in an area surrounding an end of the rib element ending freely in the cooling channel. Increased and/or increased thermo-mechanical stresses can occur specifically in a region surrounding a rib element end, which ends in an exposed manner in a turbine blade airfoil cavity, and can cause more rapid material fatigue there.
Wie vorstehend bereits angedeutet kann die Materialausnehmung unterschiedlich konstruiert sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Materialausnehmung als wenigstens eine konkave Aushöhlung an einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand ausgestaltet ist. Eine konkav ausgeformte Aushöhlung beeinflusst die Aerodynamik an dem Turbinenschaufelblatt, wenn überhaupt, nur sehr gering.As already indicated above, the material recess can be constructed in different ways. It is particularly advantageous if the material recess is designed as at least one concave cavity on a turbine blade wall. A concave cavity affects the aerodynamics on the turbine bucket blade only very slightly, if at all.
Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Materialausnehmung an der Innenseite einer Turbinenschaufelblattwand ausgestaltet ist. Speziell mittels einer konkaven Materialausnehmung können thermo-mechanische Spannungen im Umgebungsbereich des Rippenelements insbesondere innerhalb der Turbinenschaufelblattaußenwand vorteilhaft umgeleitet werden. Zudem macht sich an einer dem Hohlraum bzw. dem Kühlkanal zugewandte Innerseite der Turbinenschaufelblattaußenwand vorgesehenen Materialausnehmung strömungstechnisch am wenigstens bemerkbar.In addition, it is advantageous if the material recess is designed on the inside of a turbine blade wall. Especially by means of a concave material recess, thermo-mechanical stresses in the surrounding area of the rib element can be advantageously diverted, in particular within the outer wall of the turbine airfoil. In addition, it is at least noticeable in terms of flow technology on an inner side of the outer wall of the turbine bucket blade facing the cavity or the cooling channel.
Hinsichtlich der Temperaturverteilung an dem Turbinenschaufelblatt ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Materialausnehmung an der Rückseitenwand des Turbinenschaufelblatts angeordnet ist.With regard to the temperature distribution on the turbine bucket blade, it is expedient if the material recess is arranged on the rear side wall of the turbine bucket blade.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorliegende Materialausnehmung mit verschiedenen geometrischen Grundflächenformen erzeugt werden kann.It goes without saying that the present material recess can be produced with different geometric base area shapes.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Materialausnehmung eine kreisrunde oder eine ovale Grundflächenform aufweist. Je nach Verlauf des Rippenelements innerhalb des Turbinenschaufelblatts können unterschiedlich ausgestaltete Grundflächenformen vorteilhaft sein.It is advantageous if the material recess has a circular or oval base shape. Depending on the course of the rib element within the turbine bucket blade, differently configured base surface shapes can be advantageous.
Somit kann es alternativ vorteilhaft sein, wenn die Materialausnehmung eine gerade längliche oder eine gekrümmte längliche Grundflächenform aufweist.It can thus alternatively be advantageous if the material recess has a straight, elongate or a curved, elongate base surface shape.
Erscheint es hinsichtlich eines Rippenelementverlaufs und/oder eines Rippenquerschnitts oder dergleichen, oder einer Turbinenschaufelblattform zweckdienlich, kann die Materialausnehmung auch eine hieraus kombinierte Grundflächenform oder eine gänzlich andere Grundflächenform besitzen.If it appears appropriate with regard to a rib element profile and/or a rib cross section or the like, or a turbine blade blade shape, the material recess can also have a base surface shape combined therefrom or a completely different base surface shape.
Beispielsweise zeichnet sich die Materialausnehmung durch eine wannenförmig bzw. schalenförmig an die Innenseite der Turbinenschaufelblattaußenwand eingebrachte Einbuchtung aus.For example, the material recess is distinguished by a trough-shaped or bowl-shaped indentation made on the inside of the outer wall of the turbine bucket blade.
Da Gebiete des Turbinenschaufelblatts mit einer erhöhten Materialermüdungsgefahr speziell in einem Umgebungsbereich des in dem Kühlkanal frei endenden Rippenelementendes vorliegen, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die vorliegende Materialausnehmung in einem Wendebereich des Kühlmittelkanals angeordnet ist.Since areas of the turbine bucket blade with an increased risk of material fatigue are present, especially in the area surrounding the end of the rib element that ends freely in the cooling channel, it is advantageous if the present material recess is arranged in a turning area of the coolant channel.
Der Wendebereich des Kühlmittelkanals entspricht hierbei einer Kurve des mäandrierenden Kühlkanalverlaufs des Kühlmittelkanals.The turning area of the coolant channel here corresponds to a curve of the meandering course of the coolant channel.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird auch von einer Turbine, insbesondere einer Gasturbine, mit zumindest einer Turbinenstufe umfassend eine Vielzahl an Turbinenschaufeln gelöst, wobei die zumindest eine Turbinenstufe mit einer Vielzahl an Turbinenlaufschaufeln und/oder Turbinenleitschaufeln gemäß einer Turbinenschaufel nach einem der hier beschriebenen Merkmale umfasst.The object of the invention is also achieved by a turbine, in particular a gas turbine, with at least one turbine stage comprising a multiplicity of turbine blades, the at least one turbine stage comprising a multiplicity of turbine rotor blades and/or turbine guide vanes according to a turbine blade according to one of the features described here.
Eine Turbine, deren Turbinenschaufeln weniger durch Materialermüdungen belastet bzw. gefährdet sind, kann nicht nur betriebssicherer und wartungsärmer betrieben werden, sondern sie besitzt darüber hinaus insgesamt auch eine höhere Lebensdauer, und kann somit wirtschaftlicher betrieben werden.A turbine whose turbine blades are less stressed or endangered by material fatigue can not only be operated more reliably and with less maintenance, but also has a longer service life overall and can therefore be operated more economically.
Mithilfe der vorliegenden Materialausnehmung kann nicht nur die Lebenserwartung einer Turbinenschaufel erhöht werden, vielmehr sind an bestehenden Gusswerkzeuge zur Herstellung einer diesbezüglichen Turbinenschaufel nicht geringe konstruktive Änderungen erforderlich, um die erfindungsgemäße Turbinenschaufel herzustellen.With the aid of the present material recess, not only can the life expectancy of a turbine blade be increased, rather, significant structural changes are required on existing casting tools for producing a relevant turbine blade in order to produce the turbine blade according to the invention.
