Abstract

Apart from erosion of leading edges, erosion of the rotor blades trailing edges often occurs in condensing steam turbines, due to the impact of wet steam water droplets. Considerable erosion of the rotor blades trailing edges may be more dangerous for a reliable turbine operation than the leading edges erosion. During several years of research many results concerning erosion damage to the trailing edges of 66 MW condensing reduction steam turbine final stage rotor blades at the Thermo-electric power plant – heating plant (TE-TO) Zagreb have been gathered and are presented in this paper. Correlation between the erosion process behavior of the last stage turbine rotor blades trailing edges and the number of operating hours has been established.

Abstract

Abgesehen von der Erosion an den Anströmkanten tritt häufig Erosion an den Hinterkanten der Rotorschaufeln von Kondensationsturbinen auf, und zwar aufgrund der Beaufschlagung durch Naßdampftropfen. Beträchtliche Erosion an den Hinterkanten der Rotorschaufeln kann für den zuverlässigen Turbinenbetrieb gefährlicher sein als die Erosion an den Anströmkanten. Im Verlauf der mehrjährigen Forschungsarbeiten bezüglich der Erosionsschädigung in der letzten Stufe an den Hinterkanten der Rotorschaufeln einer 66 MW Kondensationsturbine der Energieerzeugungsanlage in Zagreb wurde viele Ergebnisse gesammelt, die in dem vorliegenden Beitrag präsentiert werden. Hierbei wurde ein Bezug zwischen dem Erosionsverhalten in der letzten Stufe der Hinterkanten der Turbinenrotorschaufeln und der Betriebsstundenzahl hergestellt.
