This scientific paper gives the main research data obtained during the solution of the search problem to define optimal parameter values for the thermal circuit of the К-540-23.5 turbine unit that would provide the most efficient operation both for the optimal version of the high pressure cylinder (HPC) as part of the turbine unit and the turbine unit on the whole. The effect of the distribution of heat differences in the stages of the optimal flow part of the high pressure cylinder used by the К-540-23.5 turbine on the integral quality factors of the turbine unit has been assessed. The calculation studies of the thermal circuit of the turbine unit with the optimal flow section of the high-pressure cylinder showed that the temperature of the underheated feed water in the high pressure heater (HPH) arranged near the steam generator has the most critical effect on the power and economical efficiency of the high pressure cylinder and entire turbine unit. The two-criterion Pareto problem for the upgrading of the turbine unit was formulated and solved to define optimal underheating temperature values. Consideration was given to the two variants of the solution of the optimization problem for the feed water underheating temperature in the high pressure heater. Comparison and analysis of the two variants of solution for the two-criterion optimization problem showed the identity of the obtained data and it confirms the correctness of the problem formulation and the algorithms used for its solution.

Autofrettage process is now widely used to improve fatigue strength of high pressure components. This paper focuses on the fatigue life improvement of the high-pressure cylinder treated by autofrettage process. In this process, a high pressure cylinder treated by autofrettage process has been simulated by using FEA software, and surface variation of the cylinder has been analyzed. To further understand this process, theoretical fatigue analysis has also been carried out.

The performance and reliability of peroxide dosing pumps are essential for every LDPE plant. The paper presents the results of measurement at an initiator injection pump under laboratory and site conditions. The recording was done with a flow meter and a high pressure transducer, both suitable for a maximum pressure of 400 MPa. It compares the results of hydraulic pressure inside the actuating cylinder at the intensifier with high pressure level and flow rate on the discharge connection of the pump. Direct measurement inside the high pressure cylinder and the possibilities to influence the fluctuations with a servo valve system round out the research work.

The supplementary steam structure is used in the high pressure cylinder to increase the power output of steam turbine through increase the mass flow rate. In this work, the supplementary steam structure installed between the fifth and sixth stage of the high pressure cylinder of steam turbine is taken as the research object. The flow field and aerodynamic performance of the fifth and sixth stage was numerically investigated at different supplement steam rates using the three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and k–ε turbulent model solutions. The inlet/outlet boundary flow conditions of the stator labyrinth seal of the sixth stage was determined based on the steady computations at three different supplementary steam rates. The unsteady flow field and rotordynamic coefficients of the stator labyrinth seal were calculated using the multi-frequency elliptical whirling orbit model and dynamic grid technique based on the unsteady RANS solutions. The numerical results show that the supplementary steam jet impacts on the hub regions of the stator blade of the sixth stage and results in the vortex flow. This flow behavior leads to the non-uniform inlet aerodynamic parameters at the entrance of the stator blade of the sixth stage. The aerodynamic performance decreases with the increase of the supplementary steam rates. The supplementary steam jet changes the inlet preswirl and boundary flow condition of the stator labyrinth seal of the sixth stage. The fluid excitation rotordynamic coefficients of the stator labyrinth seal would change due to the variation of the boundary flow condition. The detailed flow pattern of the turbine stage and variation of the rotordynamic coefficients of the stator labyrinth seal at different supplementary steam rates were also illustrated and discussed.
