Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of exhaust gas turbochargers of supercharged internal combustion engines.
  • It relates to an intermediate wall for sealing the rear space of the compressor wheel of a centrifugal compressor with respect to a bearing space enclosed by a bearing housing, a bearing device for supporting the rotor of a compressor with such a partition, a centrifugal compressor with such a bearing device and an exhaust gas turbocharger with such a centrifugal compressor.
  • Exhaust gas turbochargers are used to increase the performance of internal combustion engines.
  • the exhaust gas turbine of the exhaust gas turbocharger is charged with the exhaust gases of the internal combustion engine and their kinetic energy used for sucking and compressing air for the internal combustion engine.
  • the impellers of the turbine and the compressor are connected to each other via a shaft mounted in a bearing housing shaft.
  • sealing air is often used to protect the storage area from penetrating hot exhaust gases from the flow channel or to actively cool the turbine wheel.
  • This barrier air may be externally supplied or removed from the airflow downstream of the compressor.
  • sealing air can also be discharged from the rear space of the compressor wheel, which brings about the positive effect of relieving the axial load on the compressor wheel, since the pressure in the rear space of the compressor wheel is reduced due to the discharge of the sealing air.
  • the air in the rear space of the compressor wheel penetrates from the flow channel of the compressor wheel in this area, since the gap between the rapidly rotating and larger temperature fluctuations exposed compressor wheel can not seal arbitrarily well.
  • the air discharged in this way is guided through several components to the turbine side. This results in housing transitions, which must be sealed against leakage of the sealing air.
  • the at least one barrier air transition between the immediately adjacent to the Verêtrrad Wegraum intermediate wall and the bearing housing has hitherto been realized by means of a respective round pin, which was brought to the partition and was received in a corresponding opening in the bearing housing.
  • the at least one pin on the otherwise essentially rotationally symmetrical intermediate wall was produced by the complex machining method of circular milling.
  • the object of the invention is to optimize the intermediate wall for sealing the rear space of the compressor wheel of a centrifugal compressor, which has at least one bore for Sperr Kunststoffab Installation, with respect to a simplified production.
  • the intermediate wall has a circumferential, rotationally symmetrical shaped mounting flange which is provided for fastening the intermediate wall to the adjacent bearing housing and which has a planar contact surface for resting on a contact surface of the bearing housing.
  • a plurality of bores are embedded in a virtual circular line in the mounting flange, wherein the bores comprise at least one sealing air channel and a plurality of circumferentially distributed on the virtual circle arranged holes for receiving fasteners.
  • the intermediate wall is designed as a rotationally symmetrical disk, which can be brought into its final shape in production by the machining process of turning and without further milling.
  • a drill is necessary, which can also be used for drilling the holes for receiving the fasteners.
  • Fig. 1 shows an exhaust gas turbocharger according to the prior art with an axially flowed exhaust gas turbine 10 and a centrifugal compressor 70.
  • the partially cut exhaust gas turbocharger has a rotor consisting of turbine wheel 11, compressor 71 and intermediate shaft 20 on.
  • the rotor is rotatably mounted in the bearing housing 30.
  • the exhaust gas originating from the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine is guided through the gas inlet housing 12 onto the rotor blades of the turbine wheel 11. Subsequently, the exhaust gas is collected in the diffuser region of the gas outlet housing 13 and discharged via the exhaust system.
  • the compressor wheel driven by the turbine via the shaft draws in fresh air in order to compress it and supply it under higher pressure to the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine.
  • sealing air is often used on the turbine side to protect the storage area from penetrating hot exhaust or to cool the turbine hub.
  • This sealing air is usually a Beitechnische the Verêtrradschubentlastung, in which the air pressure in the rear space the compressor wheel is reduced by the air from the flow channel of the compressor in this area penetrating air is removed.
  • Fig. 2 shows a guided along the shaft axis section through the centrifugal compressor of an exhaust gas turbocharger.
  • the compressor wheel 71 is arranged in the compressor housing 72.
  • the compressor wheel comprises a hub body and a plurality of blades.
  • a seal which is usually designed as a labyrinth seal. This seal ensures that no larger amount of fresh air under increased pressure escapes from the flow channel at the outlet of the compressor wheel in the rear space of the compressor wheel.
  • To the bearing housing 30 towards the rear space is limited by a disc-shaped partition 40.
  • the intermediate wall has a central opening in the interior, through which the shaft 20 is guided.
  • part of the compressor wheel 71 may project into or through the central opening in the intermediate wall. Between the rotor and the intermediate wall a bidirectionally effective sealing point is provided in the radially inner region. On the one hand, it should be prevented that too much fresh air escapes from the rear space of the compressor wheel into the storage area under ambient pressure (blow-by). On the other hand, it should be prevented that at certain operating points of the compressor in reverse pressure conditions, oil or oil-laden air can pass from the storage area in the rear space of the compressor wheel.
  • the intermediate wall is mounted in the radially outer region of the bearing housing and the transition is also secured with a seal 35.
  • the disc-shaped intermediate wall 40 has on the side facing the bearing area a circumferential mounting flange 41 which is provided according to the invention for support on a likewise circumferential mounting flange 31 of the bearing housing. Between intermediate wall 40 and bearing housing 30 results radially outside the peripheral flanges, a cavity 36 which can be used for cooling the housing portion at the outer edge or at the outlet of the compressor wheel. For example, a cooling medium (water or cool air) can be passed through the cavity.
  • a cooling medium water or cool air
  • the intermediate wall 41 several continuous openings are recessed in the region of the mounting flange, which are each either as a sealing air passage 42 of the discharge of sealing air from the rear space of the compressor wheel ( Fig. 2 , upper half), or as a bore 43 of the mounting of fastening means 50 (FIG. Fig. 2 , lower half).
  • a sealing air passage 42 of the discharge of sealing air from the rear space of the compressor wheel Fig. 2 , upper half
  • a bore 43 of the mounting of fastening means 50 FIG. Fig. 2 , lower half.
  • the bearing surfaces of the two flanges are formed in the illustrated embodiment as axial end faces and extend in a plane perpendicular to the axis.
  • the bearing surfaces may also be slightly conically aligned, wherein the bearing surfaces of the two flanges are strictly parallel to each other.
  • a sealing point 34 is located radially inside the openings arranged on a circle.
  • the groove on one side either in the bearing surface of the flange 41 of the intermediate wall, or - as in the illustrated embodiment - be embedded in the bearing surface of the flange 31 on the bearing housing, or on both sides in both bearing surfaces.
  • the sealing ring a conventional O-ring, is squeezed when placing the intermediate wall on the bearing housing in the axial direction in the groove and thus seals between the two opposite bearing surfaces.
  • the sealing air channel is sealed off from the storage area, so that no blow-by flow escapes into the storage area.
  • the fasteners are sealed according to the invention, so that in the above-mentioned operating point with reversed pressure ratios no oil or oil-laden air can pass from the storage area in the rear space of the compressor wheel.
  • the bores for receiving the fastening means may have the same diameter as the bore of the sealing air channel for receiving a screw head to a residual depth with a smaller diameter. This facilitates the production of the intermediate wall.
  • the arrangement of the two types of holes may be regular or irregular.
  • the fastening means 50 are regularly distributed along the circumference.
  • the at least one barrier air channel 42 may instead of as shown a fastening opening, or additionally arranged between two spaced apart attachment openings.
  • Fig. 3 shows a view in the axial direction of the intermediate wall 40 in the in Fig. 2 indicated, guided along III-III section through the rear space portion of the centrifugal compressor.
  • the depressions of the labyrinth seal 44 are indicated by a plurality of concentric circles.
  • the shaft 20 and the shaft enclosing, cylindrical extension of the compressor wheel is shown.
  • FIG. 4 shows partition wall and bearing housing along the in Fig. 2 indicated, along IV-IV guided section through the rear space region of the centrifugal compressor Fig. 2 , In this case, the bearing housing 30 is cut in the radially outer region. Subsequently, the section passes through the enclosed between the intermediate wall and the bearing housing cavity 36, which can optionally be used to cool the housing portion at the compressor wheel outlet.
  • the cavity 36 is bounded by the flange 31, in which according to the invention the bores 33 and at least one sealing air channel 32 are arranged.
  • the sealing point 34 can be seen, which extends in the region of the flange 31 but radially within the sealing air channel 32 and holes 33.
  • the shaft 20 In the radially innermost region, in turn, the shaft 20, the extension of the compressor wheel 71 and a piece of the in this area inclined to the bearing side intermediate wall 40 is indicated.
  • the intermediate wall 40 is according to the invention, despite existing sealing air feedthrough, a rotationally symmetrical disc, which can be brought into production by turning and without milling in its final form.
  • a drill is necessary, which can also be used for drilling the holes for receiving the fasteners.
  • the manufacturing process can be simplified compared to a conventional partition.
  • the intermediate wall has an additional positioning hole, which is provided for receiving a positioning pin, which on the bearing housing is mounted or introduced before mounting in a designated positioning hole in the bearing housing.
  • the positioning can be realized by an irregular distribution of the holes for receiving the fastening means.
