Abstract:
An experiment on the performance of water film removal from hollow stator blade surfaces of a steam turbine by slot suction was conducted on an air-water two-phase flow rig with an inlet air wetness of 7%, a droplet diameter range of 1.5-201 μm, a slot width of 1 mm and a slot angle of 45° to the blade surface. The investigation into the radial characteristic of the droplet deposition on the blade surface was also performed with the two-phase flow numerical simulation method based on the experiment data. The results show that a maximum water removal rate was obtained at a relative arc length of about 0.5 for the suction slot on the suction side, and for the suction slot on the pressure side the higher water removal efficiency was observed when the slot was nearer to the blade trailing edge. The water removal efficiency of the blade surfaces was greater for the suction slot on the pressure side than that on the suction side. Increasing airflow velocity resulted in the decrease of water removal efficiency, and larger suction pressure difference leaded to higher water removal efficiency. In addition, the water removal efficiency exhibited an increase in the radial direction of the blade.
