Research on gas-liquid-solid insulation system in stator slot
In evaporative cooling turbogenerator, all structures are immersing in evaporative cooling medium. Evaporative cooling turbogenerator which is transformed from inner water-cooling turbogenerator has been developed successfully. However, it has not taken full advantage of evaporative cooling medium's superiority in insulation. Besides, the amount of cooling medium is relatively large. This paper redesigns and analyzes gas-liquid-solid insulation system in stator slot from the perspective of the evaporative cooling technology. Furthermore, this paper provides the most appropriate materials and optimum thickness for solid insulation layer and fixed insulation layer in new insulation system. At last, this paper discusses wrapping width and interval of fixed insulation layer by three-dimensional model of new-designed insulation system.
Characteristics of the evaporative cooling technology for the large turbine generator and its analysis
The cooling technology is one of the key technologies for developing large capacity turbine generator. A 300MW turbo-generator with evaporative cooling technology was designed, manufactered and tested. In this paper we provide the design features, tested results and the advantages of applying the evaporative cooling technology for the large capacity turbo-inegenerator.
An experimental investigation of Taylor vortex flow between conical cylinders
Viscous flows and instabilities between conical cylinders are described which result from rotating an inner cone while the outer one is at rest. Both cones have the same apex angle resulting in a constant width of the gap between the bodies. The laminar basic flow is tree-dimensional. Owing to different centrifugal forces on the cone's surface one obtains regions of sub- and supercritical flows in the annulus. The Taylor vortices generated can be steady or unsteady, so that toroidal or helical vortices travel through the closed system, depending on different initial and boundary conditions. Furthermore, combinations of steady toroidal and unsteady helical vortices are possible. The influence of the governing parameters, like acceleration rate, gap width, end plates and so on is discussed. A comparison with available calculations is made.
