The Mighty Blades|Unveiling the Secrets of Gas Turbine Turbine Design

In the field of gas turbines, innovation and challenges abound. As an advanced power equipment, gas turbine plays a key role in many important fields such as energy production, aerospace and industrial drive.

Gas Turbine Overview

The gas turbine is mainly composed of three key components: compressor, combustion chamber and turbine, and is also equipped with fuel system, lubrication system, starting system and other auxiliary systems and auxiliary equipment. Compressors usually use dynamic compressors, including axial flow, centrifugal and hybrid three, its function is to inhale and compress the air in the atmosphere, and then provide high pressure air to the combustion chamber, requiring high compression efficiency, single stage compression ratio, large gas flow and so on. The combustion chamber is located between the compressor and the turbine, which converts the chemical energy of the fuel into heat energy and provides high temperature and high pressure gas for the turbine. It has the characteristics of high temperature and high airflow speed, etc. According to the structure, it can be divided into four types: cylinder type, split tube type, ring tube type and ring type. The gas turbine is arranged behind the combustion chamber and converts the heat energy of the working medium out of the combustion chamber into the mechanical energy of the turbine rotor. It is usually composed of gas conduit, stage group and exhaust diffuser. According to the flow direction of gas in the turbine, it can be divided into radial flow type and axial flow type.
