る。FIG. 4 shows a bearing cooling device using a rotating shaft heat pipe of a horizontal shaft turbine generator according to a conventional example. The inside of the rotating shaft 4 is hollow to enclose the working fluid 20 and the bearing side serves as a heat generating part of the runner 6. A heat pipe having the steam space 8 as a cooling portion is formed. The thrust collar 22 is axially supported by the thrust bearing 3, and the journal bearing 1 and the thrust bearing 3 are housed in the bearing stand 2 and contain the lubricating oil 5. 16
Is a speed ring, 17 is a guide vane, and 23 is the ground.

スト軸受3で発生した熱の大部分は回転軸ヒートパイプ
7へ流入するが、この際スラスト軸受3は スラストカラーの発熱部から回転軸ヒートパイプの蒸
気空間8までの熱伝導距離が長い。In the conventional bearing cooling device, most of the heat generated in the journal bearing 1 and the thrust bearing 3 flows into the rotary shaft heat pipe 7. At this time, the thrust bearing 3 flows from the heat generation part of the thrust collar to the steam of the rotary shaft heat pipe. The heat conduction distance to the space 8 is long.
スラストカラー22内の熱伝導およびヒートパイプ蒸発
面での熱流束(W/cm2)が大きい。The heat conduction in the thrust collar 22 and the heat flux (W / cm 2 ) at the heat pipe evaporation surface are large.
スラストカラー22は肉厚を通常一様とするため、摩擦
により発熱するスラストカラーの表面から回転中心部へ
向うにしたがい熱伝導面積が小さくなるとともに、蒸発
面の面積も小さくなる。Since the thickness of the thrust collar 22 is usually uniform, the heat conduction area becomes smaller and the area of the evaporation surface becomes smaller as it goes from the surface of the thrust collar that generates heat due to friction toward the center of rotation.
スラストカラー内の発熱面から作動液20までの熱伝導
距離が長い。The heat conduction distance from the heat generating surface in the thrust collar to the hydraulic fluid 20 is long.

抵抗の増大により温度が大きくなることで、軸受部の温
度が許容値以上となるため、出力約500kW以上の横軸水
車発電機の軸受冷却への適用は困難であった。As a result, the temperature increases due to the increase in the thermal resistance from the heat generating part of the thrust collar to the surface of the heat pipe (the temperature difference increases) and the increase in the heat flux due to the increase in the heat flux at the evaporation surface of the heat pipe. However, since the temperature of the bearing exceeds the allowable value, it was difficult to apply it to the bearing cooling of a horizontal axis turbine generator with an output of about 500kW or more.
軸受部の温度を許容値以下とするには、発熱部からヒー
トパイプ凝縮部までの温度差を小さくすること、および
冷却部分での伝熱面積を大きくし液膜を薄くして熱伝達
率を高めて温度差を小さくする方法がある。To keep the bearing temperature below the allowable value, reduce the temperature difference from the heat generating part to the heat pipe condensing part, and increase the heat transfer area in the cooling part to thin the liquid film to reduce the heat transfer coefficient. There is a method of increasing the temperature difference to reduce the temperature difference.

し、軸受温度を許容値以下とすることを目的とする。An object of the present invention is to increase the heat transfer area of the thrust bearing of the horizontal axis turbine generator and shorten the heat conduction distance to reduce the thermal resistance, so that the bearing temperature is not more than the allowable value.

The steam in the hollow part 9 passes through the collar part.
It mixes with the steam of 21 and flows into the steam space of the cooling section through the working fluid passage 19 as described above.
