摘要:
压气机可调静叶枢轴与机匣之间存在间隙泄漏,对压气机效率有直接影响。为获得枢轴间隙的泄漏特性,搭建了高压比的枢轴泄漏实验平台。通过质量流量控制法和压力损失法,测量不同间隙和进出口压比下的空气泄漏率,分析了枢轴与机匣的配合状态、轴向间隙和径向间隙等对泄漏率的影响。实验结果表明:压比、轴向和径向间隙的增大,会导致泄漏率和质量流量系数的增长;在压比为3.3的工况下,径向接触状态的泄漏率相对于0.01 mm间隙状态降低了86.54%;枢轴的偏心会导致泄漏率增加,而倾斜会导致泄漏率降低。为减少泄漏,对泄漏的流动特性进行仿真分析,并提出了空腔填充简单衬套或篦齿衬套的封严结构。仿真计算结果表明:在压比为3.3的工况下,增加简单衬套后泄漏率下降约为40.04%,增加篦齿衬套后泄漏率下降约为31.8%。
Abstract:There is a gap leakage between the variable stator vane pivot of the compressor and the casing, which has a direct impact on the efficiency of the compressor. To obtain the leakage characteristics of the pivot gap, a high-pressure ratio pivot leakage experimental platform was established. Using flow control and pressure loss methods, the air leakage rates under various gaps and inlet-outlet pressure ratios were measured, and the effects of the mating condition between the pivot and casing, as well as axial and radial gaps, on the leakage rate were analyzed. Experimental results indicated that increases in pressure ratio, axial, and radial gaps led to an increase in both the leakage rate and the flow coefficient; under operating conditions with a pressure ratio of 3.3, the leakage rate in a radial contact state was reduced by 86.54% compared with a 0.01 mm gap state. Eccentricity of the pivot can lead to an increase in leakage rate, whereas tilt can decrease it. To reduce leakage, simulation analysis on the flow characteristics of the leakage was conducted, and a sealing structure using simple bushings or splined bushings for cavity filling was proposed. The simulation results indicated that under operating conditions with a pressure ratio of 3.3, the leakage rate decreased by approximately 40.04% with the addition of simple bushings, and by approximately 31.8% with the addition of splined bushings.
