June 21, 1955 A ARRANGEMENT FOR STARTING A PRIME MOVER BY INDEPENDENTLY DRIVEN LUBRICATING PUMP Filed July 13, 1951 COM BUSTION CHAMBER wvavrok y i /W A T OPNE Y J A FRANKEL 2,711,071
United States Patent ARRANGEMENT FOR STARTING A PRIME MOVER BY INDEPENDENTLY DRIVEN LUBRICATING PUMP Adolf Frankel, Rugby, England, Electric Company Limited, company Application July 13, 1951, Serial No. 236,665 Claims priority, application Great Britain July 18, 1950 4 Claims. (Cl. 60-3914) assignor to The English London, England, a British during the starting period and to serve as a stand-by set which is automatically put into operation to take over the function of the first mentioned set in case of breakdown of he latter.
According to the main feature of the invention an arrangement for starting a prime mover which has to be driven up to a certain speed before it becomes selfdriving comprises in combination: a prime mover, a hydraulic motor coupled to the said prime mover, a supply source of liquid, an independently driven auxiliary pump hydraulically connected between the said source and the said hydraulic motor, automatic pressure relief means connected between the said auxiliary pump and the said hydraulic motor, the discharge side of said hydraulic motor being hydraulically connected to the region of the prime mover using said liquid in operation, a nonreturn valve connected between said hydraulic motor and the said region, a by-pass line leading from the discharge side of the said auxiliary pump directly to the said region, and a stop valve connected into the said by-pass line.
In order that the invention may be better understood and readily carried into effect an embodiment thereof will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing, which shows a compound gas turbine plant wherein the stand-by lubrication pump drives a hydraulic starter motor.
Referring now to this drawing, a low pressure compressor 27 is connected through an intercooler 28 and a pipe 31 in series fiow with a high pressure compressor 1 mechanically coupled to a high pressure turbine 2, and in fluid communication therewith through a combustion chamber 23. This low pressure compressor 27 is driven mechanically independent of turbine 2 by a turbine 29 which is in series flow connection with the said turbine 2 and with another mechanically independent turbine 30 through pipes 32, 33, respectively. Thus turbine 2 is the high pressure turbine, driving the high pressure compressor 1 only; turbine 29 is the medium pressure turbine, driving the low pressure compressor 27 only, and turbine 30 is the low pressure turbine driving the useful load 3.
For starting this compound gas turbine plant it suflices to drive the high pressure set consisting of the compressor 1 and turbine 2 up to self-driving speed, when the exhaust gases from this turbine 2 will automatically set the turbines 29 and 30 in rotation.
In this arrangement a pump 5, driven by an electric 2,711,071 Patented June 21, 1955 motor 6, serves as lubricating pump during the whole of the normal operation, a unit 4 serving as a hydraulic starter motor only. This hydraulic starter motor 4 is coupled to the turbine 2 and compressor 1, for example by means of a freewheel or overdrive clutch 21 which automatically disengages itself when the turbine 1 reaches its self-driving speed. 1
The pump 5 feeds oil from a sump 10 under pressure through a stop valve 22 into the lubrication system of all three turbine sets including the pipes 34, 34' to the bearings of the high pressure, compressor 1, pipes 35, 35' to the bearings of the low pressure compressor 27, pipes 36, 36 to the bearings of the medium pressure turbine 29, pipes 37, 37 to the bearings of the low pressure turbine 30, and pipes 38, 38 to the bearings of the high pressure turbine 2. There is a by-pass line 39 shunted over valve 22 which contains in series: the pressure relief valve 16, the hydraulic motor 4 and a nonreturn valve 12. For starting purposes the stop valve 22 is closed so that the oil pressure delivered by the pump 5 will then be as high as permitted by the pressure relief valve 16, and high enough to drive the hydraulic motor 4. The oil leaving this motor at reduced pressure is then fed through the non-return valve 12 into the lubricating system of the turbines, compressors and load.
As soon as self-driving speed is attained, valve 22 is opened, and the pump 5 feeds lubricating oil through it directly into the lubricating system. The pressure will then be higher behind the non-return valve 12, and the latter will prevent oil from flowing back through the hydraulic motor 4, which is brought to a standstill and is uncoupled from the turbine 2 and compressor 1 by the automatic clutch 21.
Where hereinabove single pumps or hydraulic motors are shown or described, two or more such pumps or hydraulic motors operating in series or in parallel can be used instead.
The arrangement of a hydraulic motor coupled to the prime mover by .means of a freewheel or overdrive clutch and supplied by an independently driven auxiliary pump, which during the ordinary operation continues supplying the prime mover with liquid such as lubricating oil or fuel, described hereinabove, could be simplified by omitting the said freewheel or overdrive clutch.
While I have described hereinabove what may be considered as particularly useful embodiments of my invention, I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the particular arrangements shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art according to the special requirements and circumstances under which my invention'may be used.
