Definitions

  • the invention relates to a seal arrangement for a centrifugal pump for conveying hot media, consisting of at least one mechanical seal arranged in the area of a shaft bushing, a cooling circuit for cooling the mechanical seal, a partial flow of the conveying medium being usable as a cooling medium of the mechanical seal.
  • a multi-stage pump construction which is equipped with external bearing housings.
  • the bearing housings are preceded by mechanical seals located inside the pump that are exposed to the medium to be pumped.
  • the mechanical seals are preceded by throttling sections, which are used to reduce the pressure.
  • Return lines are arranged downstream in the direction of flow, with which the conveyed medium is returned to the suction nozzle.
  • a shaft seal for centrifugal pumps is known, which is arranged in the area of the shaft end and at the housing outlet.
  • the shaft seal consists of a hydrodynamic mechanical seal arranged on the atmosphere side and a further seal arranged on the pump side, with a seal located between the two seals Sealing chamber a circular flow is used for cooling and the removal of dirt particles.
  • the pump-side seal is designed as a hydrodynamic mechanical seal, which is bridged by a bypass arranged in the sealing chamber and connecting it to the inside of the pump, which serves for targeted leakage. With the help of this measure, an external cooling device is to be saved and the life of the seal is to be improved.
  • the sealing chamber itself is acted upon by the pressure medium of the centrifugal pump with the pumped medium in order to ensure the pressure necessary for the mechanical seal to function.
  • This pressure is discharged into the interior of the pump via the second mechanical seal with the help of a targeted leak.
  • the second mechanical seal thus acts as a throttle for reducing pressure.
  • their use increases the manufacturing costs of the entire pump unit.
  • the invention has for its object to realize a safe and inexpensive cooling of a mechanical seal for centrifugal pumps with an operation up to 160 ° C medium temperature.
  • This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
  • a cooling air flow generated by the drive motor can be used in addition to others.
  • the medium circulating in the cooling circuit is separated from the rest of the medium by the sealing element, so that mixing between these areas is prevented in normal operation.
  • the pressure equalization caused between the sealing space and the pump interior relieves the sealing element located in between in the simplest way.
  • the pump interior includes all spaces that are arranged in front of the mechanical seal space.
  • the sealing element can be designed as a simple, touching sealing ring. Its material properties are selected so that it is resistant to the prevailing temperatures.
  • the pressure equalization with the help of a simple pressure relief bore does not require any special manufacturing measures. A sealing lip of the sealing element is therefore not exposed to any stress, so that special treatment of a pump shaft or a shaft protection sleeve located thereon is unnecessary.
  • the promotional effect within the cooling circuit the mechanical seal itself or auxiliary devices connected to it are generated. The cooling circuit removes the heat that is transferred from the pump material to the cooling medium during operation.
  • thermosiphon circuit is formed within the cooling circuit, which ensures sufficient cooling of the mechanical seal even when a centrifugal pump is in the ready state in the ready state.
  • the sealing ring which is to a certain extent upstream of the mechanical seal, prevents heat exchange with the hot pumping medium in the simplest way in normal operation.
  • a hot medium is only fed into the cooling medium if the pressure inside the cooling circuit should drop due to a seal leak. Only in such cases is lost cooling medium replaced by hot, flowing medium.
  • a pressure housing 1 with the last impeller 2 located therein is shown.
  • This impeller 2 is followed by an axial thrust compensation device 3, from which a return line 4 leads to the suction port of the centrifugal pump, not shown here.
  • the axial thrust compensation device can also be dispensed with if the structural design of the pump provides compensation in a different way, e.g. B. by opposing arrangement.
  • the axial thrust compensation device is followed by a sealing element 5, which separates the space 6 containing the axial thrust compensation device 3 from an actual seal space 8 containing a mechanical seal 7.
  • the seal chamber 8 has a drain line 9 through which heated medium flows outwards, one - not here shown - cooler passes and is introduced as a cooled medium through the line 10 in the region of an opening 11 in the seal chamber 8 of the seal housing 12.
  • the contacting sealing element (5) designed here as a sealing ring rests on the rotating part of the pump, in the exemplary embodiment shown on a shaft protection sleeve (14) which is pushed over a pump shaft (22).
  • the sealing element or the sealing ring (5) can also bear directly on a pump shaft (22) or another rotating pump part. It effectively prevents an exchange between the hot medium and the lower temperature cooling medium. At most, in situations in which cooling medium has to be replaced by medium through leakage in the area of the mechanical seal, there is an inflow of medium.
  • the pumped medium flows from the area of the last impeller (2) through a bearing gap (13) to the - if applicable - axial thrust compensation device (3). From their space (6) the hot medium flows in front of the sealing ring (5) via the gaps (15, 16, 17) into a collecting space (18), from where it is low through a return line (4) to the suction nozzle or a point Pressure of the centrifugal pump is supplied.
  • a pressure compensation device (19) is arranged between the collecting space (18) for the conveyed medium and the sealing space (8).
  • This is designed as a simple through hole and, as shown, can also penetrate the sealing element (5) in a recess (20).
  • a non-contact sealing element for example in the form of a labyrinth seal, would be unsuitable, since its sealing effect is insufficient and excessive heat transfer would take place due to the hot pumping medium flowing through.
  • the sealing housing is therefore heated exclusively by heat transfer to the metallic parts.
  • the circled sealing element in Fig. 1 is shown in Fig. 2 in an enlarged view.
  • the shape of the pressure compensation device selected here has the additional advantage that it simultaneously forms an anti-rotation device for the sealing element.
  • the embodiment of a pressure compensation device (19) selected here consists of a tubular component which penetrates the wall surface of the collecting space (18). It extends with part of its length into a recess (20) in the sealing element (5), which is thus held in its position to prevent rotation. With a U-shaped design, the recess (20) allows the sealing element (5) to be simply pushed into the installation position during installation.
  • the pressure compensation device (19) can be designed in a simple form as a dowel pin. When arranged at a location other than the one shown, the axial overall length increases slightly, but the system as such is still functional.
