Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for pressure control of a barrier medium in a conveyor according to the preamble of claim 1 and a conveyor for such a method according to the preamble of claim 4. Similar methods and Forder respondeden are from the document US 5769427 A known.
  • Conveying media such as fluids typically include a pump unit having a shaft and a pump housing and a drive unit mechanically coupled to the pump unit and a shaft seal assembly sealing the pump housing from the shaft.
  • High demands are placed on the shaft seal arrangement when the pump unit and drive unit are arranged in a common housing or pressure vessel. Serious damage can occur to the conveyor if the pumped medium, which depending on the application may also contain solids, contaminates critical parts such as bearings. In such a case, not infrequently, the entire conveyor must be overhauled.
  • the common housing or the pressure vessel is normally filled with a barrier medium and a pressure control system ensures that the pressure of the blocking medium in the housing or pressure vessel is higher than the pressure of the pumped medium in the pump unit to escape the fluid into the housing or in to prevent the pressure vessel.
  • pressure / volume compensators In current pressure control systems, such as those used in underwater conveyors for crude oil, either pressure / volume compensators or electro-hydraulic pressure valves are used.
  • pressure / volume compensators results in a comparatively complicated pressure control system with a corresponding number of components and connections.
  • pressure / volume compensators include resilient partitions that are susceptible to material fatigue. If electrohydraulic pressure valves are used, electronic pressure sensing and control is required and there are delays in the response time of the pressure control system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for pressure control of a barrier medium in a conveyor and a conveyor for such a method, which can be ensured that the pressure of the barrier medium is higher than the pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit, and which are simple and reliable, manage with few components for the pressure control and have a relatively short reaction time.
  • a fluid is conveyed by means of the same.
  • the conveyor comprises for this purpose a pump unit with a shaft and a pump housing, a drive unit which is mechanically coupled to the pump unit, and a shaft seal arrangement which seals the pump housing with respect to the shaft.
  • the barrier medium is supplied via a supply line to the shaft seal arrangement and / or to a common housing, in which the pump unit and drive unit are arranged to prevent leakage of the pumped fluid from the pump housing.
  • the pressure of the supplied blocking medium is increased when a pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and a detected pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit falls below a predetermined value, and for this purpose a differential pressure-reducing valve, wherein the supply line through the open valve is continuously connected to a source of barrier medium, the pressure of which is above the pressure of the pumped medium in the pump unit.
  • its pressure is more than the predetermined value above the pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit.
  • the valve is closed again when the pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and the detected pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit rises above a further predetermined value or the predetermined value.
  • the pressure of the supplied blocking medium is lowered when a pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and the detected pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit exceeds a second predetermined value, for which purpose a differential pressure relief valve is opened, and the open valve Barrier medium is discharged, in particular via a connecting line to the pump housing or a return or an outlet for the barrier medium.
  • this second valve is closed again when the pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and the detected pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit is below a further predetermined value or the second predetermined value.
  • heat is additionally dissipated from the conveying device, in particular heat of the drive unit, in that the blocking medium is circulated in a cooling circuit with a heat exchanger.
  • the inventive conveying device for conveying a conveying medium comprises a pump unit with a shaft and with a pump housing, a drive unit which is mechanically coupled to the pump unit, a shaft seal arrangement which seals the pump housing relative to the shaft, and a control system for pressure control of a barrier medium.
  • the control system includes a source of pressurized barrier medium via a supply line to the shaft seal assembly and / or a common housing is connected, in which the pump unit and drive unit are arranged to supply blocking medium and to prevent leakage of the pumped fluid from the pump housing.
  • the control system additionally includes a differential pressure reducing valve disposed in the supply line, the valve opening when a pressure difference across the valve between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and a detected pressure of the delivery medium in the pumping unit falls below a predetermined value To increase the pressure of the supplied blocking medium, and wherein the valve closes again, if necessary, when the voltage applied to the valve pressure difference exceeds another predetermined value or the predetermined value.
  • the source or the memory is designed such that the pressure of the blocking medium made available therefrom is more than the predetermined value above the pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit.
  • control system additionally includes a differential pressure relief valve, said second valve opens when the voltage applied to this valve pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied barrier medium and a detected pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit exceeds a second predetermined value, and wherein said second valve If necessary, closes again when the voltage applied to the valve pressure difference falls below a further predetermined value or the second predetermined value.
  • control system additionally includes a cooling circuit with a heat exchanger for the barrier medium to dissipate heat of the conveyor, such as heat of the drive unit.
  • the pressure valve or, if two pressure valves are used each of the pressure valves has a control input for pressure sensing, which is connected to the pump unit to detect the pressure inside the pump unit, and an inlet and an outlet for the Blocking medium, wherein occasionally the inlet of the differential pressure reducing valve is connected to a first part of the supply line for the pressurized blocking medium, and the outlet of the differential pressure reducing valve and the inlet of the differential pressure relief valve are each case-to-case connected to a second part of the supply line and the outlet of the differential pressure relief valve is occasionally connected to a connection line communicating with the pump housing or with a return or drain for the barrier medium.
  • this includes a common housing in which the pump unit and drive unit are arranged, for example, a housing which is designed as a pressure vessel.
  • the inventive method for pressure control of a barrier medium and the inventive conveyor have the advantage that only two pressure valves are needed to maintain a desired pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied barrier medium and the pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit, which is the number of components required for pressure control kept to a minimum.
  • the pressure valves are actuated directly by the pressure difference between the pressure of the supplied blocking medium and the pressure of the pumped medium in the pumping unit, whereby the reaction time of the pressure control can be kept short.
  • Another advantage is that the idle state of the pressure valves is predetermined by a spring, which in a fault, a clear behavior of the valves is ensured. Due to the purely hydraulic coupling signal transmission errors, as they can occur in electronic pressure control systems, also excluded.
  • the inventive method for pressure control and the inventive conveyor thus have a high reliability, since only a few and exclusively mechanical components for pressure control are needed.
