Study on Dynamic Response and Clearance Characteristics of Steam Turbine Main Steam Valves under Multi-Field Coupling
To address the issue of deformation and sticking in high-power steam turbine main steam valves during frequent load-following operation caused by thermo-mechanical coupling,which compromises unit safety,this paper comprehensively considers the effects of temperature gradients and steam flow pressure on valve deformation.A fluid-thermal-structural coupling model based on multiple reference frames and three-dimensional finite element analysis is established.A contact algorithm is employed to address the contact problem in the clearance between the valve housing and the valve stem,and the overset grid method is applied to simulate the dynamic motion characteristics of the valve stem during rapid valve closure.This enables the transient calculation and analysis of both structural strength and clearance deformation.The results indicate that under the stable full-open operating condition,the maximum equivalent stresses on the valve stem and valve housing are 376 and 323 MPa,respectively.During cold start-up,shutdown,and rapid closure processes,the maximum equivalent stresses on the valve housing are 414,225,and 276 MPa,respectively,while those on the valve stem are 376,141,and 102 MPa,respectively,all meeting the material strength design requirements.The clearance between the valve stem and the valve plug under all conditions exhibits an asymmetric distribution,ranging from 0.56 mm to 1.04 mm,with no occurrence of contact interference or valve sticking.The model developed in this study can accurately predict the dynamic response and clearance characteristics of the valve under multi-field coupling,providing a reliable basis for the strength assessment and anti-sticking design of steam turbine main steam valves.
