Description
AIR INTAKE FOR A GAS TURBINE COMPRESSOR
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an air intake for a compressor, in particular a power plant gas turbine compressor.
BACKGROUND ART
In known power plants, the air intake is located between an air filter box and a compressor, and supplies the compressor with air filtered by the air filter box.
Known air intakes comprise a substantially horizontal inlet portion connected to the air filter box; and a substantially vertical outlet portion connected to the inlet of the compressor substantially at an end portion of the outlet portion.
The air filtered by the air filter box therefore flows along the whole of the inlet portion . and along large part of the outlet portion into the compressor. Air intakes of this type have several major drawbacks .
In particular, as it passes from a predominantly horizontal flow configuration (along the inlet portion)
to a predominantly vertical flow configuration (along the outlet portion) , the airflow undergoes severe load losses substantially caused by the -formation of swirl and recirculating air regions. The turbulence produced in the airflow when passing from the inlet portion to the outlet portion also produces losses in the compressor. The air flowing into the compressor, in fact, has severe swirl components, which result in severe load losses in the compressor, especially at the compressor inlet guide vanes (IGV) .
Moreover, known air intakes fail to eliminate condensation, which forms on the inner surfaces of the air intake walls and may be sucked into the compressor, thus resulting in erosion damage caused by water droplets systematically impinging onto the compressor vanes.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a gas turbine compressor air intake designed to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks of the known art. More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a gas turbine compressor air intake designed to minimize load losses in the airflow, and which at the same time is cheap and easy to implement .
According to the present invention, there is provided a gas turbine compressor air intake as claimed in Claim 1.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates an air intake for a compressor 2 of a power plant (not shown) , in particular a gas turbine plant. Air intake 1 is substantially located between compressor 2 and an air filter box 3. Compressor 2 is preferably a multistage, axial compressor extending along an axis A. And Figure 1 simply shows an inner inlet portion of compressor 2 comprising guide spokes 4 and inlet guide vanes (IGV) 5.
Air intake 1 comprises a front wall 6 facing
compressor 2 in use, a rear wall 7 opposite front wall 6, two lateral walls 8, and a bottom wall 9, which define a channel 10 (Figure 3) inside which filtered air from air filter box 3 flows to supply compressor 2. More specifically, air intake 1 comprises an inlet portion 11 connected to air filter box 3 and extending substantially along a horizontal axis B parallel to axis A of compressor 2; a connecting portion 12 with curved parts; and an outlet portion 13 extending substantially vertically along an axis C perpendicular to axis B. Connecting portion 12, in which rear wall 7 is curved, connects inlet portion 11 and outlet portion 13, where rear wall 7 is flat. More specifically, connecting portion 12 is bounded by a first section S facing inlet portion 11, and by a second section S' facing outlet portion 13.
An outlet section 14 is connected substantially to one end of outlet portion 13.
With reference to Figure 2, air intake 1 comprises a first and second baffle 17, 18 inside connecting portion 12.
More specifically, first and second baffle 17, 18 extend parallel to each other between the two lateral walls 8 of air intake 1 and in a direction substantially perpendicular to both axis B of inlet portion 11 and axis C of outlet portion 13, and are designed to divert the airflow from air filter box 3 and minimize the formation of swirl components when passing from inlet portion 11 to
outlet portion 13.
With reference to Figure 3, in connecting portion 12, rear wall 7 has a constant radius of curvature R, preferably of about 200 mm. A point P, located along rear wall 7 at first section S, is separated from front wall 6 by a distance D measured parallel to axis B of
(horizontal) inlet portion 11. In other words, distance D equals radius of curvature R plus a width D1 of second section S' (also measured parallel to axis B) . First baffle 17 comprises a flat trailing portion 17a extending up to second section S1 and of a height equal to radius of curvature R; and a substantially cylindrical leading portion 17b of a radius equal to twice radius of curvature R. The distance, along second section S', between trailing portion 17a and rear wall 7 is roughly one ninth of distance D.
Second baffle 18 comprises a flat trailing portion 18a extending up to second section S1 and of a height equal to radius of curvature R; and a substantially cylindrical leading portion 18b of a radius equal to five times radius of curvature R. The distance between trailing portion 17a of first baffle 17 and trailing portion 18a of second baffle 18 equals roughly 2/5 of distance D. First and second baffle 17, 18 are preferably about 3 mm thick, whereas front wall 6, rear wall 7, and bottom wall 9 are preferably about 5 mm thick.
With reference to Figure 4, outlet portion 13 of air
intake 1 comprises a flow guide 19, in turn comprising two metal leaf portions 20 shaped to direct the airflow, not drawn by compressor 2, from bottom wall 9 back to outlet section 14 (as shown by the arrows in Figure 4). Each metal leaf portion 20 is shaped to form a curve with a constant radius of curvature, preferably of about 150 cm, and has a first end 21 fixed to bottom wall 9; and a second end 22 fixed to a partition wall 24 so that the concavity of the curve faces upwards. Partition wall 24 extends from substantially the mid-point of bottom wall 9 to outlet section 14 of air intake 1 in a direction substantially perpendicular to bottom wall 9 and generally parallel to axis C.
The above configuration of metal leaf portions 20 prevents mixing of the airflow close to bottom wall 9, which could give rise to swirl and, as stated, load losses in compressor 2.
With reference to Figure 5, close to first end 21, each metal leaf portion 20 comprises a groove 25 crosswise to metal leaf portion 20 and having a number of drain holes 26.
Drain holes 26 assist in disposing of condensation formed on the inner surfaces of air intake 1, and prevent it from settling on bottom wall 9 by means of a drain system (not shown) on bottom wall 9.
Flow guide 19 also comprises two plates 29 located at two edges 30 formed by bottom wall 9 and respective lateral walls 8. Plates 29 are substantially curved to
reduce the formation of swirl and direct the airflow onto sheet metal portions 20.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, flow guide 19 is formed in one appropriately shaped piece.
In a further alternative embodiment, bottom wall 9 is shaped to define flow guide 19.
With reference to Figure 6, air intake 1 also comprises a first and second substantially circular channel 31, 32 for collecting condensation formed inside air intake 1, in particular on front wall 6 and rear wall
7.
More specifically, first channel 31 extends in the form of a collar about outlet section 14, and comprises a C-section sheet fixed in an inner circle of front wall β, so that condensation is collected, diverted about outlet section 14, and drained onto bottom wall 9 where it flows out through drain holes 26.
Second channel 32 extends about a truncated cone 33 located at the inlet of compressor 2, and which is inserted inside air intake 1 through outlet section 14 and contacts rear wall 7.
The air intake according to the present invention has the following advantages . Firstly, baffles 17 and 18 minimize load losses caused by the formation of swirl when passing from predominantly horizontal flow to predominantly vertical flow.
Secondly, flow guide 19 assists in reducing turbulence in the airflow, thus reducing anomalous flow components with respect to the compressor IGV design direction, and so reducing load losses within the compressor and increasing power output.
Finally, condensation channels 31 and 32 provide for channeling condensation, formed on the surfaces of front, rear, and lateral walls 6, 7, 8 facing channel 10, substantially onto bottom wall 9, where it is disposed of by drain holes 26.
Clearly, changes may be made to the compressor air intake as described and illustrated herein without, however, departing from the scope of the accompanying Claims .
