invention relates to a n z 101601 a fluid pressure turbine, andit'has for its ob-.
ject to .provide an improved construction thereof. i V
-Amo're particular object isto provide a ,.construction whose efliciencyis comparable to the efficiency obtainable by the most efficient known constructionsbut which is less expensive to make than such constructions.
Nozzle passages ofcircular cross-section andof rectangular orv square cross-section have been used for directing motive fluid against a row of blades in a turbine. The round nozzles are inexpensive to manufacture and are individually eflicient. However, a 0 group of-round nozzles in an arcuate row, as heretofore arranged with their discharge openings in juxtaposed relation, produces a form of jet which does not uniformly fill the --passages between the blades, and-which is unsuitable, therefore, for eflicient action on turbine blading. The form of jet produced by saidround nozzles consists of anumber of individual round j ets issuing'from the individual nozzles. Consequently, as the blades pass the nozzle row, the flow of motivefluid from the jet through the blade. passages, at
least for the major portion oftheir height, is
intermittent.
5 This produces eddying and a lossin efli ciency. The height of the'j et is less than the blade height forthe major portion of the V blade travel across the nozzle group,iand the compression ofthe fluid caused by impact on the'concave side 'of the bladesjresults in ex-' pansion in a direOtionparalIel 'to the height of the blade withoutdoing useful work.
The square or rectangular nozzles may be disposed in juxtaposed relation in a group to ;provide a'jet in the form of a continuousband of uniform width or; height approximately equaltothe blade height; Hence, the flow" of fluidthrougli the blade passages is uniform j hilefpa ssing' along the nozzle row- The re- 5' "sultmgefliciency isgreater, but this form of V nozzle is more'expensive to make, requ ring considerable skilled hand work. V
Inaccordance with my invention, I forma i lrow'of' nozzle passages ofcircular cross-seci'tionin a nozzle block, as by reaming. or drill- APATENT 0F s j genre WQB CKEMAN, or 'PHILADELPHLA, rmvivsvnvnivmyassrenon 'ro wnsrine HOUSE, ELECTRIC c MANUFACTURING COMPANY, aconrozan'rron or rnmvsxin ing, adjacent nozzles being disposed tolinten sect and overlap the passage space of each 1 other-for a short distancefrom the discharge ends, and forming overlapping discharge} openings in the exit faceof the nozzle block. 5 j
Then, preferably, the ridgesformed at the intersections are relieved to provide an elonpermits the motive fluid to spread from the overlapping space, anda jet of approximate ly' uniform widthor height and of substan-* tially uniform density is provided. Thus, I obtain the advantage of low cost of the round nozzle and the efiiciency of the rectangular nozzle. The above and other objects are effected by my invention, as will be-apparent from the following description and claims taken in] connection with the accompanying drawing. forming a part'of this application, in which :T
Fig. 1 isan elevational view of'the dis-' 7 charge or exit side of the nozzle block;
Fig. 2 is a developed section along the line II II of Fig.1 and also shows the'row of blades against which. the nozzles direct motive fluid;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view-1 or exit-en'dsgand I looking into the nozzles from the discharge L'Fig. 4 is a sectional view, taken alongthe line IV'IV of Figs." land 2. Referring now tothe drawing more in detail- I show-in each of the figures, a nozzle block, indicated 'generallyiby thereference numeral 10,'for expanding motive fluid in a turbine. The nozzle block is formed with a plurality of nozzles therein. For simplicity of illustration, only three nozzles, numbered 11, 12 and 13, are shown on the drawing, but
itwillbe understood that any suitable number of nozzles maybe employed. The 'noz-' i zles terminate, attheir discharge ends, in an" exit face "14 (see Fig. 4),.which maybe slightly raised above the dischargeside of the block.
The nozzles are circular in cross-section Motive fiuid enters the inlet end indicated at 15, and flows to the left through the nozzle.
While I have shown my invention in but i one form, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible of various changes and modifications, Without departing from the spiritthereof, and I desire, therefore, thatv only such limitations shall be placedthereupon as are imposed by'the prior art or as are specifically set forth in the appended claims.
