Description
- This invention relates to steam turbine systems and, more specifically, to the utilization of steam turbine sealing steam for sealing steam turbine shaft ends.
- As is well known in the art, before and during steam turbine operation, the turbine shaft ends require sealing by pressurized steam to avoid the leakage of air into the shaft ends and to avoid the leakage of high pressure steam into the turbine compartment. The temperature of steam used to seal the turbine shaft ends is critical and can affect the performance of the turbine. There exists an ideal temperature of steam to use as sealing steam and the ability to attain this temperature depends on the accuracy of the sealing steam temperature measurement.
- Prior arrangements utilizing sealing steam to seal steam turbine shaft ends incorporate sealing steam temperature measurement devices in a header supply pipe that feeds auxiliary sealing steam to a sealing steam header. The header, in turn, supplies sealing steam to various packing boxes enclosing the turbine shaft, including the shaft ends. This has not proven to be a completely satisfactory arrangement for accurate temperature measurement due to the bidirectional steam flow in that location (depending on the operational state of the turbine), and the remoteness of that location relative to the shaft ends.
- The present invention provides an improved method of utilizing temperature measurement to assess the condition of steam being used to the steam turbine shaft ends, and to enable the temperature control system to adjust the temperature as necessary to maintain the sealing steam temperature within acceptable limits.
- In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of this invention, the temperature of the sealing steam is measured directly before it enters the steam turbine shaft end, downstream of the sealing steam supply header. The temperature data is used to identify an out-of-specification temperature at that location. The measured temperature may then be connected via a conventional feedback loop and thus to fall within an acceptable range
- Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention relates to method of obtaining sealing steam temperature readings in a steam turbine where steam is used to seal turbine shaft ends comprising (a) supplying pressurized sealing steam to a pair of steam seal header that, in turn, distributes the sealing steam to the shaft ends, respectively; (b) measuring temperature of the pressurized sealing steam at a location immediately adjacent at least one shaft end, downstream of the steam seal header; and (c) using temperature measurements from step (b) to insure that the pressurized sealing steam is within a predetermined acceptable range.
- In another aspect, the invention relates to method of obtaining sealing steam temperature readings in a steam turbine where steam is used to seal at least one turbine shaft end comprising (a) supplying pressurized sealing steam to a pair of steam seal header that, in turn, distributes the sealing steam to the shaft ends, respectively; (b) measuring temperature of the pressurized sealing steam at a location immediately adjacent at least one of the shaft ends, downstream of the steam seal header; and (c) using temperature measurements from step (b) to insure that the pressurized sealing steam is within a predetermined acceptable range; wherein the predetermined acceptable range is between 300 and 700° F.; and wherein at least one shaft end is enclosed in a low pressure exhaust packing box.
- In still another aspect, the invention relates to a steam seal system for sealing opposite ends of a steam turbine shaft, comprising a seal steam supply pipe; a seal steam header that receives seal steam from the seal steam supply pipe; a plurality of distribution pipes for supplying seal steam from the header to a plurality of packing boxes enclosing portions of the shaft; and a seal steam temperature sensor located, in one of the plurality of distribution pipes, downstream of the header.
- The invention will now be described in detail in connection with the drawings identified below.
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a known steam seal circuit for a turbine shaft; and -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a steam seal circuit for a turbine shaft in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 1 represents a current steam seal circuit configuration for shaft or rotor ends in a conventional steam turbine. Specifically, the sealingsteam supply system 10 is arranged to seal the ends of arotor 12 of asteam turbine 14 that includes a low pressure (LP)section 16 and a high pressure (HP)section 18. The end of therotor 12, adjacent the HP section, is enclosed within an HPexhaust packing box 20 while the opposite end,adjacent LP section 16, is enclosed within anLP packing box 22. Between theLP turbine section 16 and the HPturbine section 18, the rotor is enclosed within an LPinlet packing box 24 and an HPinlet packing box 26. - A sealing
steam header 28 is supplied with sealing steam via a sealing steamheader supply pipe 30, and supplies sealing steam to the LPexhaust packing box 22 via LP exhaust packingbox supply pipe 32; the LPinlet packing box 24 viaLP inlet pipe 34; the HPinlet packing box 26 via HP inlet packingbox supply pipe 36; and the HPexhaust packing box 20 via HP exhaust packingbox supply pipe 38. In this known arrangement, thetemperature sensor 40 used to obtain and supply sealing steam temperature readings to the temperature control system (not shown) is located in the sealing steamheader supply pipe 30, upstream of theheader 28. For reasons already noted, this location for thesensor 40 is not completely satisfactory. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , a modified sealingsteam supply system 42 is illustrated. This configuration is substantially identical to the above-described system with the notable exception of the location of the sealing steam temperature sensor. Specifically, the sealingsteam supply system 42 is arranged to seal the ends of a rotor orshaft 44 extending through asteam turbine 46 having anLP section 48 and anHP section 50. The ends of the rotor are enclosed in an LPexhaust packing box 52 and HPexhaust packing box 54. Between the LP andHP sections rotor 44 is enclosed in an LPinlet packing box 46 and an HPinlet packing box 48. -
Sealing steam header 56 is supplied with sealing steam via a sealing steamheader supply pipe 58 and, in turn, distributes the sealing steam to the LPexhaust packing box 52, via LP exhaust packingbox supply pipe 60; the LPinlet packing box 46, via IP inlet packingbox supply pipe 62; the HPinlet packing box 48, via HP inlet packingbox supply pipe 64; and the HPexhaust packing box 54, via HP exhaust packingbox supply pipe 66. In this case, however, thetemperature sensor 68 is located adjacent the shaft end and the LPexhaust packing box 52, in the LPexhaust supply pipe 60, downstream of theheader 56. This location provides better accuracy with respect to sealing steam temperature readings used to obtain, through an otherwise conventional feedback loop arrangement, sealing steam temperatures within acceptable limits, e.g., between 300-700° F. - While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
