Hydraulic machines - Guide for dealing with hydro-abrasive erosion in Kaplan, Francis and Pelton turbines

This Guide serves to:
a) present data on particle abrasion rates on several combinations of water quality, operating conditions, component materials, and component properties collected from a variety of hydro sites;
b) develop guidelines for the methods of minimizing particle abrasion by modifications to hydraulic design for clean water. These guidelines do not include details such as hydraulic profile shapes which should be determined by the hydraulic design experts for a given site;
c) develop guidelines based on “experience data” concerning the relative resistance of materials faced with particle abrasion problems;
d) develop guidelines concerning the maintainability of abrasion resistant materials and hard facing coatings;
e) develop guidelines on a recommended approach, which owners could and should take to ensure that specifications communicate the need for particular attention to this aspect of hydraulic design at their sites without establishing criteria which cannot be satisfied because the means are beyond the control of the manufacturers;
f) develop guidelines concerning operation mode of the hydro turbines in water with particle materials to increase the operation life; It is assumed in this Guide that the water is not chemically aggressive. Since chemical
aggressiveness is dependent upon so many possible chemical compositions, and the materials of the machine, it is beyond the scope of this Guide to address these issues. It is assumed in this Guide that cavitation is not present in the turbine. Cavitation and abrasion may reinforce each other so that the resulting erosion is larger than the sum of cavitation erosion plus abrasion erosion. The quantitative relationship of the resulting
abrasion is not known and it is beyond the scope of this guide to assess it, except to recommend that special efforts be made in the turbine design phase to minimize cavitation. Large solids (e.g. stones, wood, ice, metal objects, etc.) traveling with the water may impact turbine components and produce damage. This damage may in turn increase the flow turbulence thereby accelerating wear by both cavitation and abrasion. Abrasion resistant coatings can also be damaged locally by impact of large solids. It is beyond the scope of this Guide to address these issues. This guide focuses mainly on hydroelectric powerplant equipment. Certain portions may also be applicable to other hydraulic machines.

Wasserturbinen - Leitfaden für den Umgang mit hydroabrasiver Erosion in Kaplan-, Francis und Pelton-Turbinen

/

La CEI 62364:2013 est destinée à présenter les données disponibles concernant les taux d'abrasion par particules avec diverses combinaisons de qualité de l'eau, conditions d'exploitation, matériaux et propriétés des composantes; ces données ayant été obtenues sur différents sites hydroélectriques; développer des lignes directrices applicables aux méthodes de réduction au minimum de l'abrasion par particules par des modifications de la conception hydraulique utilisée en l'absence de particules. Ces lignes directrices n'abordent pas les détails tels que  - les profils hydrauliques que les spécialistes en conception hydraulique déterminent pour un site donné;  - développer des lignes directrices établies sur le 'retour d'expérience' concernant la résistance relative de matériaux confrontés aux problèmes d'abrasion par les particules;  - développer des lignes directrices concernant la maintenabilité des matériaux résistant à l'abrasion et des revêtements de surface durs;  - développer des lignes directrices relatives à la recommandation d'une méthode, que les propriétaires pourraient appliquer, et dont il convient qu'ils l'appliquent effectivement, afin de s'assurer que leurs spécifications montrent la nécessité d'accorder une attention toute particulière à la conception des formes hydrauliques propres à leur site sans imposer des critères qui ne peuvent être satisfaits dans la mesure où les moyens à mettre en oeuvre ne sont pas maitrisables par les constructeurs;  - développer des lignes directrices concernant le mode de fonctionnement des turbines hydroélectriques en présence de particules afin d'accroître la durée de vie. Ce guide fait l'hypothèse d'une eau chimiquement non agressive; étant donné que cette agressivité dépend des diverses compositions chimiques possibles, ainsi que des matériaux constitutifs de la machine, le domaine d'application de ce Guide ne traite pas de cette question.  Ce guide fait également l'hypothèse de l'absence de cavitation au niveau de la turbine. En effet la cavitation et l'abrasion peuvent se renforcer mutuellement de sorte que l'érosion résultante est plus importante que la somme des deux. Comme aucune formulation quantitative de cette abrasion résultante n'est connue, ce guide n'a pas pour objet de l'évaluer, sauf pour recommander, lors de la phase de conception de la turbine, des efforts particuliers visant à minimiser la cavitation. Des solides de grand volume (comme des pierres, du bois, de la glace, des objets métalliques, etc.) véhiculés par l'eau peuvent percuter les composantes de la turbine et les endommager. Ces dommages peuvent pour leur part accroître la turbulence de l'écoulement et accélérer l'usure par cavitation et par abrasion. Les revêtements durs résistant à l'abrasion peuvent également être endommagés localement suite à l'impact de ces solides de grand volume. Ce guide ne traite pas de ces questions.

Hidravlični stroji - Navodilo za obravnavanje hidroabrazivne erozije pri Kaplanovih, Francisovih in Peltonovih turbinah

To navodilo je namenjeno:
a) predstavitvi podatkov o hitrosti abrazije delcev pri več kombinacijah kakovosti vode, pogojev obratovanja, materialov sestavnih delov in lastnosti sestavnih delov, zbranih na različnih vodnih lokacijah;
b) pripravi smernic za metode za zmanjšanje abrazije delcev s spremembami hidravlične zasnove za čisto vodo. Te smernice ne vključujejo podrobnosti, kot so oblike hidravličnega profila, ki naj bi jih določili strokovnjaki za hidravlično zasnovo za določeno lokacijo;
c) pripravi smernic na podlagi »podatkov iz izkušenj« v zvezi z relativnim uporom materialov, ki imajo težave z abrazijo delcev;
d) pripravi smernic v zvezi z sposobnostjo vzdrževanja materialov, odpornih na abrazijo, in trdih prevlek;
e) pripravi smernic za priporočen pristop, ki bi ga lahko lastniki uporabili in naj bi ga uporabili za zagotavljanje, da specifikacije izražajo potrebo po namenjanju posebne pozornosti temu vidiku hidravlične zasnove na njihovih lokacijah brez določitve meril, ki jih ni mogoče izpolniti, ker so načini za njihovo izpolnitev zunaj nadzora proizvajalcev;
f) pripravi smernic v zvezi z načinom delovanja hidroturbin v vodi z materiali delcev za podaljšanje dobe delovanja. V tem navodilu se predvideva, da voda ni kemično agresivna. Ker je kemična agresivnost odvisna od številnih možnih kemičnih sestav in materialov stroja, obravnavanje teh vprašanj ne spada na področje uporabe tega navodila. V tem navodilu se predvideva, da kavitacija v turbini ni prisotna. Kavitacija in abrazija se lahko medsebojno krepita, zaradi česar je posledična erozija večja od vsote kavitacijske erozije in abrazijske erozije. Količinska zveza posledične abrazije ni znana, pri čemer njena ocena presega področje uporabe tega navodila, razen za priporočilo, da se v fazi načrtovanja turbine posebna pozornost nameni čim večjemu zmanjšanju kavitacije. Večji trdni deli (npr. kamni, les, led, kovinski predmeti itd.), ki potujejo z vodo, lahko vplivajo na sestavne dele turbine in povzročijo škodo. Ta škoda lahko posledično poveča turbulenco toka ter tako pospeši obrabo zaradi kavitacije in abrazije. Prevleke, odporne na abrazijo, se lahko poškodujejo tudi lokalno zaradi udara večjih trdnih delov. Obravnavanje teh vprašanj presega področje uporabe tega navodila. To navodilo se osredotoča zlasti na opremo hidroelektrarn. Nekateri deli se lahko uporabljajo tudi za druge hidravlične stroje.

GUIDE FOR DEALING WITH HYDRO-ABRASIVE EROSION
IN KAPLAN, FRANCIS, AND PELTON TURBINES
FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62364 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 4: Hydraulic turbines. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 4/279/FDIS 4/283/RVD

62364 © IEC:2013 – 7 – INTRODUCTION Many owners of hydroelectric plants contend with the sometimes very aggressive deterioration of their machines due to particle abrasion. Such owners must find the means to communicate to potential suppliers of machines for their sites, their desire to have the particular attention of the designers at the turbine design phase, directed to the minimization of the severity and effects of particle abrasion.
Limited consensus and very little quantitative data exists on the steps which the designer could and should take to extend the useful life before major overhaul of the turbine components when they are operated under severe particle abrasion service. This has led some owners to write into their specifications, conditions which cannot be met with known methods and materials.
