Definitions
- the invention is a multi-stage Centrifugal pump for liquids with several on one Shaft arranged impellers in a pump housing rotate.
- Multi-stage centrifugal pumps are used when you want to generate a high pressure drop and the required flow rates or the type of medium are such that volumetric pumps are out of the question.
- the flow rate is not greater than the permissible NPSH R value of the pump based on the pump characteristics.
- the value of a pump therefore depends to a large extent on the fact that its NPSH R value is as low as possible, so that the plant manufacturer is not faced with unreasonable requirements due to the inlet height.
- the object of the invention is to modify a multi-stage pump so that it can be operated in the permissible characteristic range at low NPSH A values of a system.
- At least one impeller is mounted as a hollow shaft on the drive shaft and rotates at a speed n 2 different from the speed n 1 of the drive shaft, the hollow shaft being driven by a mechanical converter, the mechanical power decreases from the drive shaft in the housing and at this different speed n 2 to the hollow shaft, such that the speed of the first impeller is the lower to produce a low NPSH R value for the multi-stage pump, the mechanical converter as a Planetary gear is designed with a fixed gear ratio.
- the first impeller As a hollow shaft mounted on the drive shaft and to drive the first impeller with the mechanical converter at a lower speed n 2 ⁇ n 1 .
- the mechanical converter can also be designed as a torque converter with slip, similar to a fluid coupling. It is also conceivable to additionally install a turbine wheel on the hollow shaft and to feed it with a partial flow from a later stage and to add this partial flow to the flow on the suction side.
- Another advantage is that the improved Absorbency with a small enlargement of the Construction volume is bought. In addition, none Feed pump necessary. Another advantage results for condensate pumps. If this is built vertically they are ordinary at a low speed run, which requires more levels to get to the predetermined final pressure to come. By the proposed These pumps can be improved with fewer stages and shorter installation depth can be built, which is significant Saves construction costs. In addition, these measures are also effective for horizontally arranged pumps.
- the impeller of the first stage is designed as a hollow shaft which is rotatably mounted on the drive shaft. With the rotation of the drive shaft, mechanical work is delivered to a mechanical converter, which delivers a torque at a speed n 2 lower than the speed n 1 of the drive shaft to the hollow shaft, due to the lower speed n 2, a lower entry acceleration of the incoming liquid and a generate a lower NPSH R value for the multi-stage pump. It is understood that, for reasons of continuity, the flow cross-sections in the first impeller should be chosen larger if its speed is lower than that of the following impellers in order to achieve the same delivery range as in the high-speed stages.
- FIGs 1a, 1b are idlers 3, which the Liquid to a subsequent stage redirect, in a pump housing 1, 1a, 2 summarized.
- the associated wheels 9, 4 are on the drive shaft 5 positioned, the impeller 9 of the first stage as a ring gear 6 on the drive shaft 5 with Bearings 10 is rotatably mounted.
- the ring gear 6 extends in axial direction via an inlet spiral on the Suction side and is above dynamic shaft seals 12 against the housing 1a and against the shaft 5 sealed. Behind the shaft seals 12 is a Planetary gear 16 integrated into the pump housing 1a.
- the space from the planetary gear 16 has an oil filling which is sealed off from the delivery liquid via the shaft seals 12.
- a planet carrier 20 is fixed as a ring on the hollow shaft 6 and carries with planet pins 31 the planet gears 19 which engage on the outside in an outer ring 18a connected to the housing and on the inside in a sun gear 17. This results in a reduced speed n 2 for the first impeller 9, which is less than half the speed n 1 of the drive shaft 5.
- the exact speed ratio is adapted to the optimal operating conditions by dimensioning the diameters of sun and planet gears.
- the drive shaft 5 is supported on the suction side in its axis 32 with a roller bearing 11 on the housing cover 8.
- the impellers 4 after the 1st stage and the sun gear 17 are positively connected to the shaft 5 by means of a key 33.
- the housing parts 1, 1a, 2, 8 are sealed to one another via static seals 13.
- the housing cover 8 also serves as a planet carrier 20a, which holds the planet gears 19 stationary with planet bolts 31, while the external gear ring 18 is attached to the hollow shaft 6 and the sun gear 17 is attached to the drive shaft 5.
- the hollow shaft 6 rotates not only at a lower speed n 2 but also in the opposite direction to the speed n 1 of the drive shaft.
- the difference in peripheral speeds at bearings 10 and dynamic shaft seals 12 is relatively high.
- the hollow shaft 6, which in turn has a bearing 11 for the housing also forms a support for the drive shaft 5 via the bearings 10 on the suction side.
- the housing 1 is composed of a plurality of housing parts 1 a, 2 and is held together by tie rods 34.
- Figure 2 differs from that of Figure 1a in that the planetary gear 16 is not with actual gears is realized, but that instead of the gears wheels 17a, 18a, 19a Permanent magnets 35a, b, c are equipped with alternating polarity on the circumference, so one to form contactless, magnetic teeth. That I do not touch the wheels 17a, 18a, 19a, they may go with them the same liquid - in this case with the Conveying liquid - how the bearings 10, 11 are wetted, which makes dynamic shaft seals superfluous.
- a hollow shaft 6 with bearings 10 assembled with a connecting piece 28 is rotatably mounted on a drive shaft 5.
- a partial flow 29 is branched off at a higher pressure with a support 37 and fed via a control element 30 and a further connection 38 on the suction side via a guide device 27 to a turbine wheel 26, which is part of the hollow shaft 6.
- the partial flow 29 is mixed with the suction flow upstream of the first impeller 9.
- a rotational speed n 2 is set in accordance with the torque on the first impeller, which can be changed at a specific operating point of the pump via the control element 30. It is therefore possible to assign a speed n 2 of the first impeller to certain operating points, which leads to low NPSH R values for the pump.
- a hydraulic clutch is installed between the hollow shaft 6 and the drive shaft 5, which, as a torque / speed converter, delivers torque from the drive shaft 5 at a lower speed n 2 to the first impeller.
- Shaft seals 12 prevent larger quantities of delivery fluid from reaching the area of the torque converters 21, 22.
- a transducer part 21 connected to the drive shaft 5 is designed as an annular trough 23, against which liquid rests as a ring in the base due to the centrifugal force. The level of this liquid ring is determined from the outside by a radially displaceable scoop pipe.
- liquid enters the space between the two bladed converter halves 21, 22 and forms a liquid flow 36 which circulates in the form of a spiral between the two converter halves 21, 22 and a certain torque from the fast rotating drive shaft 5 at a lower speed n 2 delivers to the first impeller 9. Since the level of the liquid in the trough 23 is responsible for the transmissible torque for a certain speed n 2 , the position of the scoop pipe can be assigned to the operating points of the pump characteristics in such a way that lower NPSH R values are produced. Lubricating fluid is constantly introduced into the space between the housing cover 8 and the shaft bearing 11, which enters the trough 23 and leads to a constant flow through the scoop pipe 24, which permits level control in both directions.
- the first impeller 9 is rigid connected to the drive shaft 5.
- the second impeller 9a is mounted with bearings 10 on a sleeve 42, the is also rigidly connected to the drive shaft 5; a planet carrier 20 is also provided with a key 33 connected to the shaft.
- An impeller nut 40 secures the three bodies 9, 9a, 20 axially.
- a Stator 3 anchored, that with deflection channels to the second Stage is combined.
- a permanent magnet Central wheel 17a attached with several over the Circumferentially arranged planet gears 19a magnetically combs.
- the planet gears 19a rotate on planet bolts 31 which are connected to the planet carrier 20.
- the Permanent magnets of the planet gears 19a mesh magnetically also with the permanent magnets 35a from an outer ring 18a, which is rigidly connected to the pump housing 1. Subsequent housings 2c, 2b dominate one Lip seal 12a and a mechanical seal 12. In a subsequent bearing chair 2a, the shaft 5 is over Bearing 11 stored and secured with a cover 41. Sealing gaps 39 between the housing and rotating parts chosen so that axial thrusts on shaft 5 largely are balanced. The restaxial thrust is through Ball bearing 11 added.
