Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of energy power, in particular to a gas turbine water vapor hybrid power system, a water vapor generation assembly, an aircraft and a power supply method.

Background

The aeronautical power device relates to various disciplines of pneumatics, thermotechnical, structure and strength, control, test, computer, manufacturing technology and material, etc., and its working conditions such as temperature, pressure, stress, rotating speed, vibration, clearance and corrosion, etc. are far more complex and severer than other subsystems of the airplane, and have extremely high requirements for performance, weight, applicability, reliability, durability and environmental characteristics, etc. Therefore, the conventional development process is a process of multiple iterations of designing, manufacturing, testing, and modifying the design.

A conventional aviation power system is shown in fig. 1, that is, a gas turbine power system 10, which includes a fan 100, a compressor 200, a combustor 300, and a turbine 400, air enters the combustor 300 through the fan 100 and the compressor 200, and undergoes a combustion reaction with fuel injected into the combustor 300 through a fuel nozzle, and the generated fuel gas after the reaction pushes the turbine 400 to do work to output power. The compressor 200 includes a low-pressure compressor and a high-pressure compressor, and the turbine 400 includes a low-pressure turbine and a high-pressure turbine, the low-pressure compressor is coaxially coupled to the low-pressure turbine, and the high-pressure compressor is coaxially coupled to the high-pressure turbine. One of the core components of the gas turbine power system 10 is a combustor 300. The structure of the combustion chamber 300 can be seen from fig. 2, the combustion chamber 300 includes a diffuser outlet 301, a fuel nozzle 302, a flame tube 303, an outer ring casing 304, an outer ring cavity 305 of the combustion chamber, an inner ring casing 306, and an inner ring cavity 307 of the combustion chamber, air passes through the compressor unit 200 and then enters the combustion chamber 300 through the diffuser outlet 301, most of the air enters the flame tube 303 from the head of the combustion chamber, part of the air enters the flame tube 303 from the outer ring cavity 305 of the combustion chamber and the inner ring cavity 307 of the combustion chamber respectively, fuel is injected through the fuel nozzle 302, the fuel and the air undergo a combustion reaction in the flame tube 303 to generate combustion gas, and the combustion gas is guided to a turbine through a turbine guider 308 to push the turbine to do work. The fuel of the combustion chamber is aviation kerosene, the problems of pollution and emission cannot be avoided when the kerosene is combusted, namely the problem of environmental pollution is very prominent, and particularly, if pollution and emission indexes of a civil aviation engine do not reach the standard, the airworthiness can not be obtained. With the progress of related technical means, the existing civil aircraft engine has remarkable progress on performance indexes, such as fuel consumption and pollutant emission indexes, which are greatly reduced compared with the prior art. On the other hand, however, with the increasing demand of the international society and civil aviation organization on the economy and environmental protection of civil aircraft engines, the problem of fuel economy is not only related to the operating cost of the airlines, but also related to the regulation of carbon emission in the emission regulations, so that how to make the aircraft engines meet the increasing demand of high performance indexes is still an important problem which faces for a long time.

At present, although the increase of the engine pressure ratio and the outlet temperature of the combustion chamber can improve the thermal efficiency of the whole machine and reduce the fuel consumption, the increase is limited by the design level, the processing level, the material capability and the cooling technology level, and the turbine front temperature of the prior aircraft engine is close to the limit value of the heat resistance for safe use, so that the improvement is difficult to be obvious. And a special protective coating and an air film cooling structure which are complex in design are needed to be used for cooling the wall surface of the flame tube, so that the flame tube is prevented from being overheated and ablated in the combustion process, and the service life of the flame tube is prolonged.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a gas turbine steam hybrid system, steam generating assembly, aircraft, and method of providing power to improve the fuel economy of the power system and to reduce the requirement for heat resistance of the combustor components to the materials.

Furthermore, some features, structures, or characteristics of one or more embodiments of the present application may be combined as appropriate.

Note that the upstream and downstream of the following embodiments are relative positions with respect to the axial direction of the combustion chamber.

As shown in fig. 3-7, in one embodiment, the gas turbine steam hybrid system 1 includes a gas turbine assembly and a steam generating assembly 12. The structure of the gas turbine assembly can be seen from fig. 1 and fig. 2, and includes a compressor unit 200, a combustor 300 and a turbine 400, the specific structure of the combustor 300 is shown in fig. 2, and the operation principle thereof can be seen from the description of the above background art, and will not be described herein again. The moisture generating assembly 12 includes a water reservoir 121, an inlet 122, and a vaporization chamber 123. The vaporization chamber 123 is adjacent the combustion chamber 300, and the downstream end 124 of the vaporization chamber 123 communicates with a turbine guide 308 of the turbine. Pressurizing the injection water 31 to the vaporization chamber 123 at the inlet 122, wherein the injection water 31 injected from the inlet 122 is delivered from the water storage member 121 through the first pipeline 126; the water 31 is vaporized in the vaporization chamber 123 by the heat transferred by the combustion chamber 300, most of the heat released by the combustion reaction of the flame tube 303, and a small part of the heat is convection heat transfer of the compressed air passing through the compressor unit 200 and flowing through the wall surface of the vaporization chamber 123, the vaporized water 31 expands in volume to form expanded water vapor 32, and the gas 33 generated by the combustion reaction of the expanded water vapor 32 and the combustion chamber is output to the turbine through the turbine guide 308 of the turbine to push the turbine to do work and output power. The beneficial effect of this arrangement is that, the water 31 is pressurized and injected into the vaporization chamber 123, and absorbs the heat of the heat transfer of the combustion chamber to do work through gasification and expansion, because the volume of the water in the unit mass is about 1600 times of the water vapor, the volume of the water 31 in the vaporization chamber 123 with limited volume expands rapidly, causing the pressure to increase rapidly, and the water is output to the turbine through the guide of the guide 308, so as to provide part of the power to push the turbine to do work through rotation. Because the water gasification expansion work provides partial power, the oil supply amount of the combustion chamber is reduced, the oil consumption and pollution are reduced, and compared with the traditional gas turbine power system, the fuel economy of the power system is improved. Meanwhile, as the heat source of the vaporization chamber 123 is the heat release of the combustion chamber 300, the vaporization chamber 123 also has a certain cooling effect on the combustion chamber 300, and the working environment of the combustion chamber 300 is improved, so that the heat resistance requirement on the high-temperature components of the combustion chamber 300 is reduced, the material cost of a power system is reduced, and the heat resistance requirement on a turbine is also reduced.

Referring to FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the specific structure of the vaporization chamber 123 adjacent to the combustion chamber 300 may be such that the vaporization chamber 123 surrounds the combustion chamber outer annulus 305. Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment, the specific structure of the vaporization chamber 123 adjacent to the combustion chamber 300 may also be that the vaporization chamber 123 is surrounded by an inner annular cavity 307. Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, the specific structure of the vaporization chamber 123 adjacent to the combustion chamber 300 may further be such that the first vaporization chamber 1230 surrounds the combustion chamber outer annular cavity 305 and the second vaporization chamber 1231 is surrounded by the inner annular cavity 307. The structure that the vaporization chamber 123 and the combustion chamber 300 are surrounded and/or surrounded has the beneficial effects that the heat exchange area of the vaporization chamber and the combustion chamber is increased, so that the vaporization chamber and the combustion chamber can fully exchange heat, and the vaporization effect of the vaporization chamber on the injected water and the cooling effect of the vaporization chamber on the combustion chamber are enhanced.

With continued reference to fig. 4-6, in some embodiments, the specific configuration of the vaporization chamber may be such that the upstream end of the vaporization chamber 123 is adjacent to the diffuser outlet 301 of the combustor 300, and since the downstream end 124 of the vaporization chamber 123 communicates with the turbine guide 308 of the turbine, the axial length of the vaporization chamber 123 is close to the axial length of the combustor, sufficiently absorbing heat from the combustor, enhancing vaporization of water and cooling of the combustor.

Referring to fig. 7, in one embodiment, the specific structure for pressurizing the injection water 31 to the vaporization chamber 123 at the inlet 122 may be that the steam generating assembly 12 includes a nozzle 127, the nozzle 127 is disposed at the inlet 122, and a high-pressure common rail 128 is coupled to the nozzle 127, such that the water 31 injected from the inlet 122 is at least partially a high-pressure water mist 311, and the high-pressure common rail 128 may be a high-pressure common rail similar to a fuel injection system in the prior art, such as delivering water to a public water supply line by a high-pressure pump, and the pressure of the injected water 31 is precisely controlled by the pressure in the public water supply line, but not limited thereto. The high-pressure common rail 128 has the advantages that the sprayed water 31 is continuously pressurized, the atomization degree of the water 31 sprayed into the vaporization chamber 123 is further improved, the total heating area of the water 31 is increased, and the process of vaporization of the water 31 into water vapor and volume expansion is accelerated.

Referring to fig. 4-6, in some embodiments, the specific location of the nozzle 127 may be that the axial location of the nozzle 127 is near the upstream end 125 of the vaporization chamber 123. This allows the injected water 31 to flow in the vaporization chamber 123 for a length close to the axial length of the vaporization chamber, and to be sufficiently heated.

It is understood that the gas turbine steam hybrid system 1, similar to the gas turbine power system 10 shown in fig. 1 and 2, can be used in an aircraft, such as a civil aircraft, so as to achieve the beneficial effects of improving the economy of flight and meeting the carbon emission regulations.

step S3: and introducing the expanded water vapor and the combustion gas generated by the combustion reaction into the turbine, and applying work to push the turbine to rotate to provide power.

In summary, the beneficial effects of the gas turbine steam hybrid power system, the steam generating assembly, the aircraft and the power supply method adopting the above embodiments include but are not limited to:

1. the water gasification expansion of the water vapor generation assembly is utilized to do work to provide partial power for the gas turbine, so that the oil supply amount of a combustion chamber is reduced, the oil consumption and pollution are reduced, and the fuel economy of a power system is improved compared with the traditional gas turbine power system;

2. the heat source of the vaporization chamber is the heat release of the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber is cooled to a certain extent, and the working environment of the combustion chamber is improved, so that the heat resistance requirement on high-temperature components such as the combustion chamber is reduced, the material cost of a power system is reduced, partial power is output by pushing the turbine to rotate through expanded water vapor, and the heat resistance requirement on the turbine is also reduced.
