Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-stage centrifugal pump in which each pump stage comprises a housing consisting of one or more parts and an impeller disposed therein, the pump stages being arranged between inlet and outlet end pieces for connection to flow-guiding systems and held therewith by connecting means.
  • all impellers are arranged on a pump shaft supported in at least two pump bearings, a pump shaft end is provided with a receptacle for a connection means of a drive, and external support means are arranged for attaching the centrifugal pump to an installation location in the region of the end pieces.
  • centrifugal pumps constructed as link pumps are designed to convey a fluid to a high pressure level. They are designed as separate devices, the pump shaft with the interposition of a coupling element with a drive machine, such as an electric motor or a turbine, are connected. Centrifugal pump and drive machine are mounted together on a base plate or on a foundation. They are often used as multi-stage feed pumps in power plants or other facilities where a high pressure is required. Due to the multi-stage structure and the arrangement of the pump stages between the end pieces can be made in their manufacture in a simple manner to adapt to different operating conditions by the number and type of pump stages is varied. For this purpose, the connecting means and the pump shaft are tuned to the corresponding overall length of the centrifugal pump and a base plate or a pump foundation is to be formed according to the overall length.
  • centrifugal pumps are known from DE 22 04 995 A1, DE 26 14 163 B1 and KSB-Kumblelpumpenlexikon, 3rd updated edition, page 185.
  • These multi-stage link pumps are the respective ones Pump bearing the pump shafts outside and spaced from the end pieces of the centrifugal pump. The distance between the pump bearings increases a necessary space for the shaft seals to be mounted, with which a liquid outlet is prevented from the housing of the centrifugal pump. From a vibration point of view, a consequent large bearing distance between the shaft bearings is disadvantageous because unfavorable vibrations of the rotating component can result. And the inclusion of pipeline forces, which are passed through the end pieces in the centrifugal pump, negatively affects the balance of power of the centrifugal pump.
  • centrifugal pumps For attachment of such centrifugal pumps at the respective site serve external support means which are provided on the end pieces or between the end pieces of the centrifugal pump.
  • An unfavorably chosen location of these outer support means which are generally designed as feet, ridges or struts, may adversely affect the vibration performance of the rotating components with respect to a built-in centrifugal pump.
  • the invention is based on the problem of optimizing the vibration behavior of the rotating system in a multi-stage centrifugal pump and to allow operation at higher speeds.
  • the solution to this problem provides, a bearing distance L L between facing bearing faces of two pump bearings with the greatest distance from each other, less than or equal to the product of a minimum step height L M multiplied by the reduced by the value of 1 number of pump stages.
  • a particularly rigid design of the rotating part, also called rotor, a centrifugal pump is achieved.
  • a bearing end face of pump bearings in the form of sliding bearings is arranged at the point at which a sliding bearing gap has its beginning or its inlet opening.
  • it is the smallest distance guaranteeing face of a bearing ring.
  • the extremely short distance between the pump bearings results in a particularly stabilizing design of the entire rotating system.
  • the shaft bearing is located in the immediate vicinity of the highly loaded wheels.
  • the decisive for the bearing distance minimum istnbau Love B M is determined by a projected onto the pump shaft, measured in the axial direction minimum center distance between two downstream impeller outlet widths. Likewise, it could also be used a distance between the impeller entrances of downstream wheels.
  • Embodiments provide that a pressure-side pump bearing is arranged in a manner known per se in the direction of the pump shaft projection of the pressure nozzle cross-section.
  • a pressure-side pump bearing can be arranged in a last pump stage, or a pressure-side pump bearing is arranged between or in pump stages, which are preceded by a last pump stage in the flow direction.
  • the shortening of the bearing distance serve the measures that a suction-side pump bearing is arranged in a first pump stage and that a suction-side pump bearing is disposed between or in subsequent pump stages, which follow a first pump stage.
  • outer pump bearing those bearings are considered, which are closest to the respective pressure or suction end of the pump shaft and between which all or part of the wheels are arranged by the pump stages on the pump shaft.
  • a pump stage is formed by an impeller with the surrounding, consisting of one or more flow-guiding parts housing.
  • Special additional components, such as inducer, compensation devices, auxiliary wheels or seals do not constitute pump stages in this context.
  • a rigid pump design results when a distance between bearing centers of two outer pump bearings L L is equal to or smaller than a distance to be measured in the shaft direction L A between the support means. Since the support means are arranged in the region of the end pieces, this results in an overall improved vibration behavior. For this results in a particularly large-scale arrangement of the support means, whereby the attachment of the centrifugal pump is particularly stable at its later site. Acting on the centrifugal pump Pipe forces are thus conducted safely and without negative effects on the rotating pump part in a foundation.
  • the connecting means are arranged on the end pieces, whereby the cohesion of the main parts of the centrifugal pump is ensured.
  • a pressure-side bearing is arranged in the outlet end piece. This measure also improves the power flow between a pipe to be connected to the centrifugal pump and a foundation at the installation site. A possible rectilinear force flow exerts no negative effect on the vibration behavior of the rotating part.
  • the inlet and / or outlet end pieces are designed as separate components and are force-transmitting to pump stage parts. Likewise, the inlet and / or outlet end pieces may be integral parts of pump stage parts.
  • a five-stage centrifugal pump is shown, the wheels 1 rotate in the housings 2 each stage and which are mounted together on a pump shaft 3.
  • the pump stages are arranged between an inlet end piece 4 and an outlet end piece 6 and have pump stage parts 2.1 - 2.5, which are designed to be pressure-bearing and accommodate further flow-leading internals.
  • the pump stage parts 2.1 - 2.4 are designed as equal parts.
  • the inlet end piece 4 is formed in two parts in the lower half of the embodiment, wherein the separate, annular component 4 rests on the pump stage part 2.6 of the first stage to transmit power.
  • This pump stage part 2.6 simultaneously contains the suction opening 5 of the centrifugal pump and performs the function of a housing cover.
  • the pump stage part 2.6 of the first stage is an integral part of the inlet end piece 4 and thus forms a component.
  • the pump stage 2.5 is made longer than the preceding pump stage parts 2.1 - 2.4 of the other pump stages. It contains a larger collecting space, from which a discharge nozzle 7 discharges, by means of which a conveyed fluid is passed into a pipeline system to be connected.
  • the outlet end piece 6 is executed in the lower half of the drawing as a separate, annular component and shown in the upper half of the drawing as an integral part of the housing 2.5. It also forms the abutment for external connection means 8, with which all pump parts are held together. As connecting means 8 tie rods are here shown, which are passed through corresponding openings of the end pieces 4, 6 and ensure the cohesion of the centrifugal pump by means of screw elements.
  • support means 9, 10 are arranged, which allow attachment of the centrifugal pump at its future installation.
  • the distance L A between the support means 9, 10 is greater than the distance L L between the bearings 11, 12 of the pump shaft 3.
  • a to be connected to a drive shaft end 13 is located in the vicinity of the pressure-side bearing 11, which in the housing 2.5 of Here last or 5th pump stage is arranged.
  • This fifth pump stage has a collar 14, which, starting from the drive-side end of the pump stage part 2.5, projects on a smaller diameter into the pump stage part 2.5 and thus forms the receptacle for the bearing 11.
  • there is enough free space in this collar 14 to arrange an axial thrust balancing device 15 therein.
  • the bearing 11 is approximately in the middle of the pressure port 7, whereby a good flow of forces with respect to male pipe forces or derived vibration forces is possible.
  • suction side bearing 12 of the pump shaft 3 is arranged in this embodiment between the first and second pump stage and is supported here within the housing 2.1 of the first stage.
  • the bearings 11 and 12 are formed as medium-lubricated bearings and are lubricated by the pumped liquid.
  • the bearings can be designed as plain bearings and / or as rolling bearings. Their selection depends on the fluid to be pumped and the bearing load that occurs. With the help of medium-lubricated bearings, the service intervals for otherwise used bearing lubrication are eliminated.
  • end pieces 4, 6 as separate components has the additional advantage that they can be made of a different material. If, due to a fluid to be conveyed liquid wetted components must consist of high-quality stainless steels, then in cost-reducing manner, the parts of the end pieces, with which the connecting means 8 are connected to transmit power, consist of a cheaper material.
  • Fig. 2 shows the use of an inlet star, which is located within the suction opening 5. It has a bearing pin 17 which cooperates with the suction-side pump bearing 12.
  • the pump bearing 12 is in this case installed in the form of a sleeve within a bore 18 of the suction side shaft end 18 here. By appropriate further, not shown lubrication holes, a liquid circulation is ensured by the pump bearing 12.
