Title:
ターボ機械のためのヒートパイプ温度管理システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6746335
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A turbomachine includes a compressor 110 having an inter-stage gap 113 between adjacent rows of rotor blades 111 and stator vanes 112. A combustor 120 is connected to the compressor, and a turbine 130 is connected to the combustor. An intercooler is operatively connected to the compressor 110, and includes a first plurality of heat pipes 222 that extend into the inter-stage gap. The first plurality of heat pipes are operatively connected to a first manifold 224, and the heat pipes and the first manifold are configured to transfer heat from the compressed airflow from the compressor to heat exchangers. A cooling system 250 is operatively connected to the turbine 130, and includes a second plurality of heat pipes 252 located in the turbine nozzles 134. The second plurality of heat pipes 252 are operatively connected to a second manifold 256, and the heat pipes and the second manifold are configured to transfer heat from the turbine nozzles to the heat exchangers.
