Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to rotary machines, and more specifically to assembling and disassembling rotary machines.
  • Applicants European Patent Application EP-Al-50796. is also concerned with assembly and disassembly of similar equipment.
  • the impeller rotor and blades of a rotary machine such as a centrifugal compressor or expander must be removed from the machine for cleaning, maintenance or replacement.
  • rotary machines are often used with fluids containing a significant amount of particulates or debris. Over a period of time, these particulates and debris tend to collect or accumulate on the impeller blade surfaces, necessitating periodic removal of the impeller rotor and blades from the machine to clean or replace the blade surfaces. Routine inspection and maintenance, for example to repair or realign a rotor seal or blade, may also require removal of the impeller rotor from the machine.
  • French Patent FR-A-802529 utilizes a jib-type crane which may be mounted on a centrifugal compressor or blower to remove the casing from about the impeller of a turbomachine.
  • the apparatus of the invention is directed towards removing an axially extending impeller rotor. Since this rotor may be of significant length, apparatus is provided for jacking both ends of the rotor and thereafter displacing the rotor axially such that is may be serviced outside of the casing environment. Specific means are provided for lifting both ends of the rotor and for removing the casing around the blades. In this manner the entire shaft is made available for service without requiring further disassembly of the machine.
  • the machine is additionally designed such that the rotor is slid through the casing with one end of the rotor being supported by a carriage which cooperates with the machine frame to provide a rolling surface for displacing the rotor through the casing.
  • French Patent FR-A-802529 does not disclose any such casing nor is the problem addressed in what manner a long shaft may be serviced without physical removal from the equipment.
  • the invention is now concerned with the assembling and disassembling of an impeller rotor of a rotary machine.
  • assembly and disassembly apparatus for use with a rotary machine having an axially extending, rotatable impeller rotor, a fluid casing annularly extending around the rotor, and a machine frame supporting the rotor and casing, characterized by a disc end fixture disengagably connected to a disc end of the impeller rotor for vertically moving the disc end thereof between a rotor assembled position and a rotor lifted position and for horizontally moving the rotor through the fluid casing between the rotor lifted position and a rotor disassembled position; a coupling end fixture for vertically moving a coupling end of the impeller rotor between the rotor assembled and lifted positions, and a coupling end carriage supported by the machine frame and supporting the coupling end of the rotor as the rotor moves between the rotor lifted and disassembled positions.
  • machine 100 includes base plate 102, machine frame 104, impeller rotor 106, bearing means 110, and fluid casing 112.
  • Machine 100 also includes impeller blades 114, stator blades 116, diaphragm 120, stator housing 122, and rotor seal 124.
  • Machine frame 104 rests on base plate 102, which preferably extends forward, to the left as viewed in Figure 1, of the machine frame.
  • Impeller rotor 106 having disc end 126 and coupling end 130, axially extends along the top of machine frame 104 and is rotatably supported by bearing means 110 which, in turn, are supported by the machine frame.
  • bearing means 110 are of a conventional horizontal split type including disc end bearing 132, intermediate bearing housing 134, and coupling end bearing 136, which are all bolted to the top of machine frame 104.
  • Impeller blades 114 are rigidly secured to disc end 126 of rotor 106 and radially extend outward therefrom. Although two axially spaced sets of impeller blades 114 are shown in the drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be employed with a rotary machine having one or more sets of impeller blades.
  • Fluid casing 112 is secured to machine frame 104 and annularly extends around the machine frame and impeller rotor 106 rearward, to the right as viewed in Figures 1 and 2, of impeller blades 114.
  • the top of fluid casing 112 defines discharge or outlet opening 140.
  • Stator housing 122 is secured to the front end of fluid casing 112 and annularly extends around one or more impeller blades 114.
  • stator housing 122 is horizontally split, having upper section 142 and lower section 144, which preferably are bolted together along adjacent horizontal flanges.
  • Diaphragm 120 annularly extends around rotor 106 within stator housing 122; and the diaphragm also is horizontally split, including top half 146 and bottom half 150, which preferably are bolted together along adjacent horizontal flanges.
  • Stator blades 116 are secured to diaphragm 120 and radially extend inward therefrom between rotor blades 114.
  • a sealing member is secured to stator blades 116 and radially extends inward therefrom substantially to impeller rotor 106 to retard fluid flow through the area between the rotor and the stator blades.
  • Diaphragm 120 is radially spaced from stator housing 122, allowing radial expansion of the diaphragm.
  • Dowels 152 radially extend into generally concentric apertures 154 and 156 defined by diaphragm 120 and stator housing 122 respectively, preventing rotation of the diaphragm and stator blades 116 relative to the stator housing.
  • apertures 156 radially extend through stator housing 122, providing access to dowels 152 from the exterior of the stator housing.
  • Caps 160 may be disengagably secured to stator housing 122, for example by being threaded into apertures 156, to align dowels 152 within apertures 156 and to cover the dowels, preventing undesired outward radial movement thereof.
  • Fluid casing 112 includes inside radial flange 162, which annularly extends above machine frame 104 and rotor 106.
  • Rotor seal 124 is secured, preferably bolted, to machine frame 104 and fluid casing 112, specifically flange 162 thereof, covering the space between the machine frame, the fluid casing, and impeller rotor 106 to prevent leakage of a working fluid through this space.
  • Rotor seal 124 defines a plurality of axially extending threaded apertures located near the peripheral edge of the rotor seal, and some of these apertures are aligned with axially extending threaded apertures defined by radial flange 162 for bolting the rotor seal thereto.
  • some of the axial, threaded apertures defined by rotor seal 124 are located adjacent flat surfaces of radial flange 162.
  • inlet duct 164 is secured to the front of stator housing 122.
  • support means such as a stand (not shown) is secured to inlet duct 164 to support the duct and to provide additional support for stator housing 122 and the forward end of fluid casing 112.
  • a fluid is induced to flow through the inlet duct and past blades 114 and 116. If machine 100 is a compressor, then rotor blades 114 are rotated to compress the fluid flowing therepast. Alternately, if machine 100 is an expander, then the fluid causes rotation of blades 114. In either case, the fluid flows past blades 114 and 116 and through fluid casing 112, and the fluid is discharged from machine 100 via discharge opening 140.
  • FIGS 3 through 16 illustrate apparatus for assembling and disassembling machine 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, Figures 3 through 5 disclose apparatus for assembling and disassembling stator housing 122, specifically lower section 144 thereof, Figures 6 through 9 show apparatus for assembling and disassembling rotor seal 124 and disc end bearing 132, and Figures 10 through 16 illustrate apparatus for assembling and disassembling impeller rotor 106.

  • Jack supports 210 are fixed to posts 206.
  • screw jacks 204 are mounted on supports 210.
  • Screw jacks 204 extend through supports 210, and plates 226 are mounted on the tops of the screw jacks, above supports 210. With this arrangement, as is conventional, extension and retraction of screw jacks 204 move plates 226 upward and downward respectively relative to supports 210.
  • flanges 222 and 224 are then secured together by any conventional means wherein posts 206 provide additional support for stator housing 122.
  • flanges 222 and 224 define a plurality of vertically extending apertures (not shown) which are aligned as posts 206 are positioned adjacent to stator housing 122. Flanges 222 and 224 may then be secured to gether via bolts extending through aligned apertures.
  • guide rods 212 may be lowered through aligned apertures of flanges 222 and 224 into abutting contact with support platforms 210 of posts 206 wherein the guide rods help to guide movement of stator housing section 144 as section 144 is vertically moved between the assembled position shown in Figure 3 and rails 202.
