Abstract: A pattern for improving aerodynamic performance of a turbine includes a material disposed in a pattern at a base surface of a turbine shroud such that the material is capable of abradable contact with a tip portion of a turbine bucket. The pattern includes a first plurality of ridges disposed at the base surface such that a first portion of the first plurality of ridges corresponding to a back portion of the turbine bucket is oriented at a first angle with respect to an axis of rotation of the turbine bucket. Each ridge of the first plurality of ridges has a first sidewall and a second sidewall having a first end and a second end. The first ends of the first and second sidewalls extend from the base surface. The first and second sidewalls slope toward each other with substantially equal but opposite slopes until meeting at the second ends of respective first and second sidewalls defining a centerline and a top portion of the ridge.

Abstract: A gas turbine operational strategy is provided for the optimization of ISO-Day rated performance. The invention is realized by setting the nominal operating line equal to or slightly below the operating limit line, so that ISO full load performance is maximized. Thus, the first stage turbine nozzle throat area is sized such that, without inlet bleed heat addition, and at Base-Load pressure ratio and firing temperature, the compressor operates within its operational limits on a ISO day. As ambient conditions change, levels of inlet bleed heat and firing temperature are controlled and the inlet guide vane angle is set whereby the nominal operating line is equal to or slightly below the operating limit line.

Abstract translation: 提供燃气轮机操作策略，以优化ISO-Day的性能。 本发明通过将标称操作线设置为等于或稍低于操作限制线来实现，使得ISO满载性能最大化。 因此，第一级涡轮喷嘴喉部区域的尺寸使得在没有入口放热加入的情况下，并且在基本负载压力比和烧制温度下，压缩机在ISO日的运行限度内运行。 随着环境条件的变化，入口排放热量和燃烧温度的水平被控制，并且入口导向叶片角度被设定，由此标称操作线等于或略低于操作极限线。

Abstract: Brush seals are employed on steam turbine rotors without the risk of causing thermal rotor bowing and without compromising the sealing performance. In one form, a groove in the rotor has an insert in frictional contact with the brush seal. The non-uniform distribution of heat due to frictional contact between the brush seal and proud portions of the rotor is dissipated within the insert such that adjoining rotor portions are substantially uniformly heated without causing thermal bow. In a further form, a groove or grooves are provided in the rotor surface adjacent to the brush seal and maintain non-uniform heat distribution locally in the rotor without causing thermal bow of the rotor. In another form, a land projects radially outwardly of the rotor surface in contact with the brush seal. The non-uniform distribution of heat due to frictional contact between proud portions of the land and the brush seal dissipates into a uniform distribution of heat in the rotor proper to avoid thermal bowing. In a final form, the brush seal has frictional contact with bucket dovetail or wheel protrusions spaced radially outwardly of the rotor such that non-uniform distribution dissipates into a uniform distribution within the rotor.

Abstract: Brush seals are retrofitted into existing turbine labyrinth seal rings to create a fail-safe seal design at locations wherever labyrinth seals are currently used, including interstage shaft seals, rotor end seals, bucket (or blade) tip seals and spill strips. Brush seals, per se, when used in place of labyrinth seals, can result in considerable span reductions of steam turbines, or machines with more turbine stages for a given span. Application to end packings results in the potential elimination of gland sealing/exhauster systems. Brush seal life can be improved by retrofitting brush segments to labyrinth seal segments that are either spring-backed, or use pressure loads to obtain design clearances only after steady state operating conditions are achieved. The brush seals are provided with backing plates shaped like labyrinth teeth, resulting in a fail-safe design. Also, the use of existing labyrinth teeth as bristle backing plates results in a brush seal with diminished susceptibility to hysteresis when compared to conventional brush seal designs. Low friction coatings can also be used to reduce brush seal hysteresis. Incorporation of brush seals in labyrinth seal rings that are either spring-backed or held in place by pressure forces results in extremely low brush seal wear.

Abstract translation: 电刷密封件改装成现有的涡轮迷宫式密封环，以在目前使用迷宫式密封件的位置创建故障安全密封设计，包括级间轴密封件，转子端部密封件，铲斗（或刀片）末端密封件和溢出条。 刷子密封件本身在用于代替迷宫式密封件时，可以导致蒸汽轮机或具有更多涡轮级的机器在给定跨度上的相当大的跨度减少。 对端部密封的应用导致密封/排气系统的潜在消除。 刷子密封寿命可以通过将刷段改装为弹簧密封段，或者使用压力负载仅在达到稳态工作条件之后才能获得设计间隙。 刷子密封件设置有类似迷宫齿的背板，从而形成故障安全设计。 此外，与传统的刷密封设计相比，使用现有的迷宫齿作为刷毛背板导致刷密封，对滞后的敏感性降低。 低摩擦涂层也可用于减少刷子密封滞后。 将刷子密封件装入迷宫式密封环中，弹簧支撑或通过压力力保持在适当位置导致极低的刷密封磨损。
