Experimental Study of Flow Field of Large Air-Cooled Turbine Generator for Multi-Ventilation Ducts of Stator

Abstract:

To study rotational air flow field of rotor and complicated flow distinction owing to multi-ventilation ducts of stator in a large air-cooled turbine generator, considering axial symmetry of air supply, an experiment setup of ventilation system of semi-machine configuration was built in this paper. At condition of rotating, ventilation is measured by hot-wire anemometer. Firstly, ventilation in 16 different semi-circle radius is got. Measurement shows that ventilation in different radius varies much. Then ventilation of outlet of stator ducts is measured. The result shows that ventilation which is affected by flow back and jet less is higher. The conclusion will provide theoretical references for ventilation cooling of rotor ducts in large air-cooled turbine generators.
