Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary machine for conveying a fluid and a method for heat exchange in such a machine according to the preamble of the independent patent claim of the respective category.
  • Rotary machines such as pumps, are used to convey fluid media in a wide variety of technological fields.
  • pumps play an important role in the entire processing chain, which usually starts at the oil or gas field, and often have to work under technically very demanding conditions.
  • the medium When pumping crude oil, for example, it is possible for the medium to be pumped to be at very high temperatures of up to 200°C. Such high temperatures place great demands on the pump and in particular on the mechanical seals in such a pump.
  • Mechanical seals are commonly used to seal the shaft which carries the impeller of the pump and which is driven by the drive unit such as a motor. These seals are intended to prevent the fluid to be pumped from escaping on or along the shaft.
  • mechanical seals are designed as face or slide ring seals, which include a stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, while the stator is fixed with respect to the pump housing in such a way that it is secured against rotation. During the rotation of the shaft, the rotor and the stator slide against each other, which results in a high mechanical load on these parts. For the proper operation of such mechanical seals, it is necessary for these seals not to be subject to excessive thermal loads in the operating state.
  • the mechanical seals must be cooled, especially in the case of such fluids that are pumped at high temperatures. Too high a temperature in the area of the mechanical seal can lead to material degradation on the sliding surfaces or other parts of the seal, damage to the secondary seals, unwanted phase transitions in the fluid to be pumped or thermally induced changes in the shaft, e.g. B. Bends.
  • a heat exchange jacket is provided in the vicinity of the mechanical seal, which is a cooling jacket for dissipating heat or a heating jacket for supplying heat, depending on the application.
  • This jacket includes a cavity that surrounds the mechanical seal in the form of an annular space, for example, and through which a fluid heat carrier flows, which supplies or dissipates the heat.
  • the cavity has no connection to the space in which the mechanical seal is arranged, so that there is no direct contact between the heat transfer medium and the mechanical seal.
  • external auxiliary systems e.g. B. used an external pump to promote the fluid heat transfer medium in the cavity of the heat exchange jacket and to circulate the heat transfer medium.
  • the second option for heat exchange is based on direct contact of the mechanical seal with a fluid heat transfer medium and is usually referred to as "flushing".
  • the mechanical seal or at least parts thereof, is directly subjected to a fluid heat transfer medium in order to withdraw heat from it or to supply heat to it.
  • a fluid heat transfer medium for this type of heat exchange, it is known to circulate the fluid heat carrier in a closed circuit, which then comprises an external heat exchanger, to which the heat carrier releases the heat absorbed by the mechanical seal (cooling of the seal), or to which the heat carrier transfers the absorbs heat, which it supplies to the mechanical seal (heating of the seal).
  • the circulation of the heat carrier is driven by an external pump.
  • an impeller can also be provided, e.g. on the mechanical seal, which is driven by the rotation of the shaft and circulates the fluid heat carrier.
  • a rotary machine for conveying a fluid according to claim 1 is proposed.
  • the rotary machine according to the invention is also particularly suitable for high-temperature applications in which the fluid to be conveyed can have temperatures of up to 200° C. or more.
  • the rotating machine is designed as a pump, with the drive unit comprising a motor which is arranged in a motor housing.
  • impeller is arranged in a pump housing which is connected to the motor housing to form an overall housing, so that the pump including the motor is enclosed in a single housing.
  • This compact design which is closed off from the outside, allows the pump to be operated even under difficult environmental conditions.
  • the rotary machine works in a vertical arrangement. It is then preferred that the drive unit is arranged above the pump unit in the normal position of use, because then the drive unit is not loaded by the weight of the impeller.
  • a further advantageous measure with regard to cooling, lubricating and protecting the drive unit, e.g. against the fluid to be pumped, is if the motor housing is filled with a sealing liquid during operation.
  • the sealing liquid is then particularly preferably provided as the fluid heat carrier.
  • the impeller for circulating the heat carrier is driven by the drive unit and is preferably provided on the side of the drive unit facing away from the impeller.
  • a preferred use of the rotary machine is for conveying hot fluids, the temperature of which is at least 150°C.
  • a method according to claim 9 is also proposed for heat exchange in a rotary machine for conveying a fluid.
  • the common heat exchange system is a refrigeration system.
  • the method is particularly suitable when the rotary machine is a pump, the drive unit comprising a motor which is arranged in a motor housing, the fluid heat carrier being used as a sealing liquid with which the motor housing is filled and the impeller preferably being driven by the drive unit is driven.
  • the fluid heat carrier is a water-based liquid, because these liquids are generally inexpensive, have sufficient heat capacity and are not harmful to the environment.
  • mixtures of water and glycol are suitable as a fluid heat carrier.
  • the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for high-temperature applications in which the fluid to be pumped has a temperature of at least 150°C.
  • a rotary machine according to the invention and a method according to the invention for heat exchange, reference is made, by way of example, to the application that is particularly important in practice, that the rotary machine is a pump.
  • the invention is not limited to such cases, but also includes all other rotary machines in which a mechanical seal is provided for shaft sealing.
  • the rotary machine can also be a compressor, a turbine or a generator, for example.
  • the heat exchange is cooling, in which heat is therefore withdrawn from the system. It goes without saying that the invention also includes applications in the same way in which the heat exchange is heating, ie applications in which heat is supplied to the system.
  • the pump 1 1 shows, in a very schematic representation, a rotary machine which is designed as a pump and is denoted overall by the reference numeral 1.
  • the pump 1 includes a drive unit 2 with a motor 21 which is arranged in a motor housing 22 and is designed here as an electric motor.
  • the motor 21 has a motor shaft 25 which is the rotor of the electric motor.
  • the pump 1 also includes a pump unit 3 with a pump housing 32 in which an impeller 31 is provided for conveying a fluid.
  • the impeller 31 is arranged on a shaft 5 which is connected to the motor shaft 25 by means of a coupling 9 and is thus driven by the motor 21 and rotated about its longitudinal axis A ( 2 ) is relocated.
  • the motor housing 22 and the pump housing 32 are firmly connected to one another, for example screwed together with several screws, and thus form an overall housing 4 for the drive unit 2 and the pump unit 3
  • the shaft 5 and the motor shaft 25 are mounted in a number of axial bearings 7 and radial bearings 8 in a manner known per se.
  • the pump unit 3 also includes an inlet 33, through which the fluid to be pumped is sucked into the pump housing 32 by the action of the impeller 31, and an outlet 34 through which the fluid to be pumped is pushed out.
  • two mechanical seals 6 are provided in the pump, namely a first one, which seals the shaft 5 at the boundary between the pump unit 3 and the drive unit 2, so that the fluid to be pumped cannot flow along the shaft 5 into the drive unit 2 and a second, which is provided below the impeller 31 according to the illustration and which prevents the fluid to be pumped from penetrating along the shaft 5 into a bearing space 35 which is provided below the impeller 31 according to the illustration and in which one of the radial bearings 8 is arranged.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the rotary machine according to the invention explained here is a multi-stage process pump for high-temperature applications in which the fluid to be pumped has very high temperatures of, for example, 150° C., 180° C., 200° C. or even more. Such high temperatures can occur, for example, in natural gas or oil production, because there are oil fields in which the oil is present at temperatures below 200°C.
  • the embodiment described here is designed as a subsea (subsea) pump that is mounted on the seabed and operates there, z. B. for oil or gas production. Especially with such applications, an extremely compact design and the highest possible operational safety and reliability are essential.
  • the Pump 1 designed in a vertical arrangement with the drive unit 2 on top, ie in 1 the pump 1 is shown in its usual position of use.
  • the motor housing 22 of the drive unit 2 is filled with a sealing liquid 23 in a manner known per se, which is used to cool the mechanical and electrical components of the motor 21 and for lubrication.
  • the storage space 35 arranged below the impeller 31 is also filled with the sealing liquid 23 .
  • mechanical seals are designed as face or slide ring seals, which include a stator 61 and a rotor 62 .
  • the rotor is connected to the shaft 5 in a rotationally fixed manner, while the stator 61 is fixed in relation to the overall housing 4 or in relation to the pump housing 32 in such a way that it is secured against rotation.
  • the stator 61 is fixed in relation to the overall housing 4 or in relation to the pump housing 32 in such a way that it is secured against rotation.
  • the rotor 62 and the stator 61 slide against each other.
  • a first heat exchange system 41 and a second heat exchange system 42 are provided—here cooling systems—which are connected to form a common heat exchange system 40 .
  • This integrated heat exchange system 40 is used to cool the mechanical seals 6.
  • the first heat exchange system 41 for cooling the mechanical seal 6 is a so-called flushing system, in which the mechanical seal 6 or at least parts thereof is or are acted upon directly by a fluid heat carrier—here a coolant.
  • a fluid heat carrier here a coolant.
  • the mechanical seal 6 is arranged in a sealing space 63, which is designed, for example, as an annular space and surrounds the shaft 5.
  • the heat transfer medium is introduced into this sealing space 63 through an inlet opening 64 .
  • an outlet opening (not shown) is provided on the sealing space 63 through which the heat carrier can leave the sealing space 63 again.
  • the outlet opening is arranged, for example, rotated by 45° or by 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis A in relation to the inlet opening 64 .
  • the sealing chamber 63 is essentially completely filled with the heat carrier, i.e. the same amount of coolant (heat carrier) flows through the inlet opening 64 into the sealing chamber 63 as flows out of the sealing chamber 63 through the outlet opening.
  • the heat exchange - here the cooling - thus takes place through the direct contact of the heat transfer medium with the mechanical seal 6, in which the heat transfer medium extracts heat from the seal 6 and thus cools it.
  • the second heat exchange system 42 for cooling the mechanical seal 6 includes a heat exchange jacket 421, which is a cooling jacket 421 in the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the cooling jacket 421 includes a cavity 422 which is designed, for example, as an annular space and surrounds the entire shaft 5 .
  • An inlet 423 is provided, through which the heat transfer medium is introduced into the cavity 422, and an outlet 424, through which the heat transfer medium leaves the cavity 422.
  • the cavity 422 is completely filled with the heat carrier that is circulated through the cavity 422 .
  • this type of heat exchange or cooling there is no direct physical contact between the heat transfer medium and the mechanical seal 6.
  • the cooling jacket 421 is in each case arranged on the hotter side of the mechanical seal 6, ie on the side of the seal 6 in which the higher temperature prevails in the operating state.
  • the pump housing 32 is in the operating state, with the exception of the storage space 35 with the fluid to be pumped - so for example with the hot oil - filled.
  • the fluid to be conveyed in the vicinity of the seal 6 is also cooled by the cooling jacket 421 , ie for example also in the gap 51 which leads to the seal 6 .
  • This cooling of the fluid to be conveyed in the immediate vicinity of the mechanical seal 6 also significantly reduces the heat input into the seal 6 by the fluid to be conveyed, which corresponds to a cooling of the seal 6 .
  • the first heat exchange system 41 and the second heat exchange system 42 are now connected to form the integrated common heat exchange system 40 .
  • the consequence of this is that there must be a common fluid heat transfer medium for the common heat exchange system 40 .
  • different fluid heat carriers could also be used for these two separate systems in the case of separate first and second heat exchange systems, the solution according to the invention requires a common fluid heat carrier which, for example, can be the same heat carrier as that of the first or second heat exchange system.
  • the sealing liquid 23 which is also used for lubricating and cooling the motor 21 or the drive unit 2 , is particularly preferably provided as the fluid heat carrier for the common heat exchange system 40 .
  • This has the advantage that only a single liquid has to be provided, which is used both as a sealing liquid 23 and as a fluid heat carrier for the heat exchange system 40 . Especially for subsea applications, this measure has a very positive effect in terms of the equipment required.
  • Water-based liquids such as a mixture of water and glycol are particularly suitable as a fluid heat transfer medium.
  • the common heat exchange system 40 is designed as a closed system, ie as a cooling system or a cooling circuit, in which the fluid heat transfer medium is circulated.
  • An impeller 44 is provided for the circulation of the heat transfer medium, which is arranged on the motor shaft 25 and is thus driven by the drive unit 2, specifically by the rotation of the motor shaft 25 of the motor 21.
  • the impeller 44 conveys the heat transfer medium via a main line 45 to a heat exchanger 43 in which the heat transfer medium releases the heat absorbed at the mechanical seal 6 or in the drive unit 2 or in the storage space 35 and is thereby cooled.
  • a plurality of lines now branch off from the main line 45 downstream of the heat exchanger 43, first a first line 451, through which the heat carrier enters the motor housing 22, as symbolically indicated by the arrow on the line 451.
  • the heat carrier fills the motor housing and serves as a sealing liquid 23.
  • a second line 452 branches off from the main line 45 further downstream, through which the heat transfer medium reaches the cooling system for the mechanical seal 6 .
  • the second line 452 in turn branches into a branch leading to the inlet 423 ( 2 ) of the cooling jacket 421, and into a branch leading to the inlet port 64 of the seal chamber 63. From the outlet opening (not shown) from the sealing chamber 63 and the outlet 424 of the cavity 422 of the cooling jacket 421, the fluid heat carrier reaches the return line 46 via respective lines, which are combined to form line 461.
  • the main line 45 merges into a third line 453, through which the heat carrier reaches the cooling system for the lower mechanical seal 6 according to the illustration.
  • the third line 453 in turn branches into a branch leading to the inlet 423 ( 2 ) of the cooling jacket 421, and into a branch leading to the inlet port 64 of the seal chamber 63.
  • this sealing space 63 is connected to the storage space 35 so that the heat transfer medium can also reach the storage space 35 via the same line that leads to the inlet opening 64 of the sealing space 63 .
  • the fluid heat carrier From the outlet opening from the sealing chamber 63 and the outlet 424 of the cavity 422 of the cooling jacket 421, the fluid heat carrier reaches the return line 46 via respective lines, which are combined to form line 462.
  • the heat carrier returns through the return line 46 to the area of the impeller 44, which drives the circulation of the heat carrier in the closed cooling circuit.
  • the heat transfer medium introduced into the motor housing 22 via the first line 451 is also recirculated by the action of the impeller 44, as indicated by the arrow with reference number 463.
  • the impeller 44 for circulating the fluid heat carrier is preferably on the side of the drive unit 2 or provided on the side of the motor 21 facing away from the impeller 31 .
