Tolerance Stack Analysis in Francis Turbine Design

The tolerance stacking problem arises in the context of assemblies from interchangeable parts because of the inability to produce or to join parts exactly according to nominal dimensions. Either the relevant part's dimension varies around some nominal values from part to part or the act of assembly that leads to variation. For example, as runner of Francis turbine is joined with turbine shaft via mechanical lock, there is not only variation in the diameter of runner and the concentricity between the runner hole and turbine shaft, but also the variation in concentricity between the outer parts of runner to runner hole. Thus, there is the possibility that the assembly of such interacting parts won't function or won't come together as planned. Research in this area has been conducted and 2 mini hydro Francis turbines (800 kW and 910 kW) have been designed and manufactured for San Sarino and Sawi Dago 2 in Central Sulawesi. Experiences in analyzing the tolerance stacks have been documented. In this paper it will be demonstrated how the requirements of assembling performance are derived to be the designed tolerances of each interacting component, such a way that the assembling would be functioning and come together as planned

PEMANFAATAN SISTEM CAD/CAM/CAE DALAM REVERSE DAN FORWARD ENGGINEERING UNTUK TURBIN FRANCIS

The oil price has been increasing since the last few years. Since then the utilization of hydro power plant has also been increasing. The hydro power plant is very well known as environtmental friendly power plant and therefore its utilization is demanded all around the world. Indonesia has planned to build up until 488 MW micro and mini hydro power plant until the year 2020. Half of this is micro-hydro power plant and the other half is mini-hydro power plant. The turbines for micro-hydro power plant have been produced locally, but the other half which are mini-hydro power plant are still imported from foreign countries. It is the intention of this applied research to develop the capability of local industry to design and manufacture the Francis turbine for mini-hydro power plant from 300 kW until 5 MW. The utilization of CAD/CAM/CAE System is very intensif during the development phases. Reverse and forward engineering has been applied for this purpose. The good result has been achieved. The continuous improvement shall be done in the future in order to have the better result

Fail-safe design and analysis for the guide vane of a hydro turbine

A design for the fail-safe mechanism of a guide vane in a Francis-type hydro turbine is proposed and analyzed. The mechanism that is based on a shear pin as a sacrificial component was designed to remain simple. Unlike the requirements of conventional designs, a shear pin must be able to withstand static and dynamic loads but must fail under a certain overload that could damage a guide vane. An accurate load determination and selection of the shear pin material were demonstrated. The static load for various opening angles of the guide vane were calculated using the computational fluid dynamics Fluent and finite element method Ansys programs. Furthermore, simulations for overload and dynamic load due to the waterhammer phenomenon were also conducted. The results of load calculations were used to select an appropriate shear pin material. Quasi-static shear tests were performed for two shear pins of aluminum alloy Al2024 subjected to different aging treatments (i.e. artificial and natural aging). The test results indicated that the Al2024 treated by natural aging is an appropriate material for a shear pin designed to function as a fail-safe mechanism for the guide vanes of a Francis-type hydro turbine
