Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods, assemblies, and systems for power production that can allow for increased efficiency and lower cost components arising from the control, reduction, or elimination of turbine blade mechanical erosion by particulates or chemical erosion by gases in a combustion product flow. The methods, assemblies, and systems can include the use of turbine blades that operate with a blade velocity that is significantly reduced in relation to conventional turbines used in typical power production systems. The methods and systems also can make use of a recycled circulating fluid for transpiration protection of the turbine and/or other components. Further, recycled circulating fluid may be employed to provide cleaning materials to the turbine.

Claims (15)

1. A turbine assembly comprising:

a casing defining an inlet in fluid communication with a combustor and configured to receive a combustion product stream; and

a plurality of blades each extending radially outwardly from a root to a tip,

wherein the turbine assembly defines a ratio of blade velocity at the tip to a flow velocity of the combustion product stream, the ratio being between 1 and 5;

wherein the flow velocity of the combustion product stream is measured proximate the inlet of the turbine assembly and downstream of the combustor.

2. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein a blade height of the plurality of blades is less than 0.275 m.

3. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein the turbine assembly comprises less than 2,000 of the plurality of blades.

4. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein a length of the turbine assembly is less than 11 meters.

5. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein a length of the turbine assembly is 6 meters to 10 meters.

6. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein an average diameter of the blades is 0.25 meters to 3 meters.

7. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein the flow velocity is less than 400 MPH.

8. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein a temperature at the inlet is 1600 degrees Celsius or greater.

9. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an outlet of the casing for release of a turbine discharge stream, and a rotor positioned in the casing.

10. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blade velocity at the tip is between 50 m/s to 75 m/s.

11. The turbine assembly of claim 1 , wherein pressure at the inlet is 50 bars to 250 bars to 350 bars.
