Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multi-stage roots type vacuum pump, comprising a stator defining a plurality of successive compression chambers, axially separated from each other by lateral flanges, a rotor assembly arranged inside the stator and consisting of two parallel shafts supported by bearings in end flanges of the stator, each shaft being fitted in each chamber with a compression lobe, each chamber thus containing two lobes, conjugate, of compression, one of the two shafts being driven in rotation by a motor and the other shaft being driven in opposite directions by means of a gear located in a casing fixed to the corresponding end flange of the stator, the two shafts each passing through said flange through a seal lips.
  • the pressure in the compression chamber closest to the casing which constitutes the high-pressure stage, may, depending on the value of the pressure at the suction of the pump, be greater than the pressure in the casing, it that is to say at atmospheric pressure, hence a risk of lifting the lip of the lip seal.
  • the pressure could be balanced on either side of the joint by a communication tube between the casing and the compression chamber, but then there would be a risk of facilitating the passage of oil vapors through this tube, from the crankcase to the compression chamber and find traces of oil condensation in the latter.
  • Document GB 2 089 892 describes a rotary piston pump in which a suction chamber is isolated from a gear chamber by labyrinth seals divided into two groups separated by a pressure equalization chamber connected to the chamber by an oil filter.
  • Document GB 2 116 634 describes a single-stage compressor of the Roots type in which the end flange, adjacent to the casing containing the gears, is fitted for each shaft, on the one hand with a lip seal and on the other hand 'a double labyrinth seal and between the two is formed an annular chamber communicating, through a channel made in the end flange, with the outside of the compressor.
  • the compression chamber adjacent to the casing is very hot due to the compression of the gases, and this high temperature is transmitted to the oil, which has the effect, on the one hand, of reducing its viscosity, with the consequence larger leaks, and on the other hand to cause greater vaporization of the oil making trapping of the vapors more difficult.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks, and relates to a multi-stage roots type vacuum pump as defined above, characterized in that a sealing module is interposed between said end flange located on the side of said casing, and the compression chamber adjacent to said casing, said module constituting a partition, fitted around each shaft of the part fixed of a labyrinth seal, each shaft being provided with the movable complementary part of the labyrinth seal, said movable parts of labyrinth seals being located in a common cavity of said module connected, by means of a valve, with the delivery channel from said compression chamber adjacent to said casing, said valve allowing a passage of fluid in the direction of said cavity towards said delivery channel.
  • said sealing module includes a cooling water circulation chamber.
  • an inert gas is injected in small quantity into said cavity.
  • This pump 40 is composed of a stator and a rotor assembly.
  • the stator is produced by an assembly by stack of wafers comprising lateral flanges 1 and of ends 2 and 3, and stator rings 4.
  • This stator thus defines a plurality of successive compression chambers 5 delimited radially by the stator rings and axially by the flanges.
  • the ends of the stator are closed by two covers 6 and 7.
  • the rotor assembly disposed inside the stator comprises two parallel shafts 8 and 9 supported by rolling bearings 11 and 12 in the end flange 2 and also in the end flange 3.
  • each compression chamber 5 the shaft 8 is equipped with a compression lobe 13 and the shaft 9 is equipped with a compression lobe 14.
  • Each compression chamber 5 therefore receives two compression lobes: 13 and 14 These lobes have conjugate profiles and are well known in themselves.
  • the shaft 8 is rotated by a drive motor 15 via a coupling device 16.
  • the shaft 9 is rotated in opposite directions by a gear comprising a pinion 17 mounted on the shaft 8 and a pinion 18 mounted on the shaft 9.
  • This gear 17-18 is located in the cover 6 serving as a casing.
  • This housing cover 6 is fixed to the end flange 2. In operation, the housing 6 contains lubricating oil of the gear 17-18.
  • the shaft 8 passes through the end flange 2 through a lip seal 19 and likewise, the shaft 9 passes through the end flange 2 through a lip seal 20.
  • FIG. 1 we see at 21 the suction inlet and at 22 the discharge outlet connected to the discharge channel 23 (FIG. 2) by various members including a silencer 24.
  • the discharge channel 23 passes through the last stator ring 4 located on the side of the casing 6.
  • the high pressure, atmospheric pressure in steady state, is therefore located on the side of the gear 17-18.
  • a sealing module 24 interposed between the end flange 2 and the last compression chamber 5, that is to say between the flange 2 and the last stator ring 4 most close to the housing 6.
  • This sealing module 24 constitutes a partition through which the shafts 8 and 9 pass; the partition being fitted around each shaft, with the fixed part 25, 26 of a labyrinth seal of which the second complementary, mobile part, 27, 28 is carried by the shafts 8 and 9.
  • the mobile parts 27 and 28 of the labyrinth seals are mounted on the shafts via an O-ring 29, 30 and are located in a common cavity 31 of the module.
  • This common cavity 31 is connected to the delivery channel 23 by a valve made up of a ball 32 pushed by a spring 33.
  • the sealing module 24 comprises a chamber 34 for circulating cooling water. This circulation makes it possible to evacuate the calories generated in the neighboring compression chamber, and to keep the oil in the crankcase 6 at ambient temperature. A thermal barrier is thus produced.
  • the water supply and drainage lines have not been shown in the drawing.
  • the sealing module 24 also plays the role of an oil trap: in fact, if a leak nevertheless occurs through the lip seals 19 and 20 in the form of vapor, it is projected by the moving parts 27, 28 labyrinth seals acting as a deflector, against the wall cold, and condensed. If the leak is in liquid form, the O-rings 29, 30 prevent the migration of oil along the shafts. It is collected in the common cavity 31 from where it can be evacuated by a drain hole.
  • each compression chamber has an inlet and an outlet, and the outlet of one chamber is connected to the inlet of the next through channels of the side flanges 1
