Definitions
- the present invention relates to a turbo compressor, and particularly to a refrigeration turbo compressor.
- a refrigeration turbo compressor may include:
- the axial bearing plate facing towards the inlet distributor reaches a high temperature which leads to an important deformation of said axial bearing plate, and thus induce deformations of the gas films in the axial bearing arrangement when such an axial bearing arrangement is a gas axial bearing arrangement.
- Such deformations of the axial bearing plate may lead to seizure of the axial bearing arrangement and to shortened lifetime of the turbo compressor.
- deformations of the axial bearing plate may also lead to an instability of the axial bearing arrangement, which causes the generation of vibrations of the drive shaft and thus causes contacts of the latter with static parts of the turbo compressor leading to scratches or breaking of the drive shaft.

- each bypass flow guide member 41 partially defines a bypass flow guide channel 42 extending radially towards the drive shaft 3 and converging towards the drive shaft 3, and each bypass opening 40 emerges into a respective bypass flow guide channel 42.
- the axial bearing cooling arrangement therefore includes a bypass refrigerant flow path 43 which is defined by the bypass flow guide channels 42 and the axial bearing plate 18, and which extends at least partially along the surface of the axial bearing plate 18 facing towards the inlet distributor 33 and the impellers 7.1, 7.2.
- the bypass refrigerant flow path 43 extends in parallel to the inlet refrigerant flow path P.
- the bypass openings 40 are particularly configured to derive a part of the inlet refrigerant flow, flowing into the inlet refrigerant flow path P, into the bypass refrigerant flow path 43 such that said derived part of the inlet refrigerant flow flows into the bypass flow guide channels 42 and along the surface of the axial bearing plate 18 facing towards the impellers 7.1, 7.2 and thus at least partially cools the axial bearing plate 18.
- bypass refrigerant flow path 43 is advantageously fluidly connected to the inlet refrigerant flow path P downstream of the bypass openings 40 through an annular gap 44 defined by the drive shaft 3 and an inner circumferential surface of the inlet distributor 33, such that the derived part of the inlet refrigerant flow returns to the inlet refrigerant flow after having at least partially cooled the axial bearing plate 18.
- Such a configuration of the axial bearing cooling arrangement, and particularly of the bypass openings 40 and the bypass flow guide channels 42, allows cooling the axial bearing plate 18 with a derived part of the inlet refrigerant flow, and thus avoids or at least strongly reduces, even at the most critical running conditions of the turbo compressor, thermal deformations of the axial bearing plate 18 and thus of the axial bearing arrangement.
- the configuration of the turbo compressor 1 according to the present invention avoids a seizure of the axial bearing arrangement and improves the stability of said axial bearing arrangement, and thus improves the reliability of the turbo compressor 1 and increases the lifetime of the turbo compressor 1.
