Abstract

The pre-swirl system is the device that minimizes energy loss of turbine cooling airflow from the stationary parts into rotating parts. In this paper, an off-design analysis was conducted for the ambient air temperature and turbine load conditions. The discharge coefficient was constant for ambient air temperature and turbine load. However, adiabatic effectiveness was increased. This is due to the volume flow rate. The volume flow rate was increased at higher ambient temperature and higher turbine load. It means that the volume of cooling air was increased and the cooling performance of the air was improved. Consequently, adiabatic effectiveness increased by 30.46% at 100% turbine load compared to 20% turbine load. And increased by 18.42% at 55℃ ambient air temperature compared to -20℃ ambient air temperature.

가스터빈 이차 유로의 프리스월 시스템은 터빈의 효율을 높이고 소재의 수명을 연장하기 위해 설치되는 냉각 장치이다. 본 연구에서는 프리스월 시스템의 설계점을 기준으로 가스터빈 외기 온도와 터빈 부하 변화에 따른 탈설계점 분석을 수행하였다. 탈설계점에서 내부 유동의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유량계수와 단열계수를 비교하였다. 터빈 부하 증가에 따라 시스템 내부 냉각 공기의 체적 유량이 증가하였고, 단열계수 또한 20% 터빈 부하와 비교하여 100% 터빈 부하에서 30.46% 상승하였다. 외기 온도가 증가할수록 질량 유량과 냉각 공기의 밀도는 감소하였지만 체적 유량은 상승하였으며, 결과적으로 프리스월 시스템 내부의 냉각 성능은 향상되었다. 프리스월 시스템 출구에서 -20℃ 외기 온도와 비교하여 55℃ 외기 온도의 단열계수는 14.82% 향상되었다.
