Abstract

Pre-swirl system has strong potential to improve the cooling performance and service life of high-pressure turbine rotor blades in gas turbine engines. This study is to evaluate and improve the temperature drop and power consumption characteristics of the pre-swirl system with multi-in and multi-out seal flow by theoretical and experimental analysis. Then, a high-speed rotating test rig of the pre-swirl rotor-stator system is established, considering the inner seal by-pass configuration to prevent the flow of hot gas into the pre-swirl cavity. In addition, the rotor-stator domain parameters in the pre-swirl system test rig are accurately measured at high-speed operating conditions. Three experimental schemes of pre-swirl systems are proposed for comparison under different operating conditions. The experimental results show that the temperature drop of the prototype pre-swirl system is in the range of 9.28–20.78 K, with the power consumption of the system ranging between −0.23 and −6.67 kW and the system pressure ratios being around 1.3–1.9. Because of the inner seal inflow ratio ranging within 0–15%, the system temperature drops for the improved pre-swirl system built-in inner seal by-pass passages notably reach a value between 12.12 K and 25.54 K with an average system power consumption within −0.41 to −8.21 kW. Thus, the improved pre-swirl system arrangement has dual advantages of a higher cooling effect and lower power consumption.
