Definitions
- the invention relates to a centrifugal pump for pumping solids-containing media with an arrangement for reducing a backflow from a first space into a second space.
- Centrifugal pumps have gaps through which a flow can flow at various points, for example between the impeller and the housing, where a pressure difference causes a leakage flow that is sometimes very lossy.
- the seal With regard to the size of the gap, the seal here must be chosen so that it is neither too large, so that the efficiency of the centrifugal pump drops due to high losses over this gap, nor may the gap be too small, because otherwise there is a risk of that there is a start-up, i.e. contact between the rotating and the stationary component.
- Such a seal can, for example, be a split ring seal arrangement.
- Split ring seals are used in centrifugal pumps to seal spaces with different pressures.
- the arrangement comprises a non-rotating element and a rotating element.
- the non-rotating element can be, for example, a split ring which is arranged on the housing, or the housing itself or a housing part.
- the rotating element can be, for example, a raceway which is arranged on the impeller, or the impeller itself or a part of the impeller, for example the cover disk of the impeller in the case of a closed impeller.
- the gap that is formed between the rotating element and the non-rotating element acts as a throttle between the spaces of different pressures and prevents too high a flow from the space of higher pressure into the space of lower pressure.
- this endeavor is opposed by the fact that a gap that is too small is very difficult to bring into line with the manufacturing tolerances and the operational influences. It is important to avoid contact between the elemen in order to prevent the rotating element from rubbing against the non-rotating element and thus to prevent wear. Due to the necessary tolerances in the manufacture of the individual components, there is a minimum gap width that precisely prevents elements from touching each other and thus causing friction and wear. During operation, however, particularly when starting up or shutting down the pump, situations repeatedly arise in which there is contact and then pressing or material wear occurs.
- Wastewater in particular communal and industrial wastewater, is an example of a solid-containing medium.
- This usually includes raw sewage (e.g. dirty water, faeces), sewage (mechanically purified water from sewage tanks), sludge (e.g. activated, fresh, digested and vaccinated sludge) and rainwater.
- raw sewage e.g. dirty water, faeces
- sewage mechanically purified water from sewage tanks
- sludge e.g. activated, fresh, digested and vaccinated sludge
- rainwater can have a very corrosive or abrasive effect on the centrifugal pumps used, in particular the components of the centrifugal pump that come into contact with the medium.
- cast components are often used in centrifugal pumps.
- a solid body in the desired shape is created from a liquid material after it has solidified.
- the desired housing structures or impellers or other components of the centrifugal pump can thus be produced in a targeted manner.
- Cast materials in centrifugal pump construction are usually iron-carbon alloys.
- DE 10 2017 223602 A1 specifies a split ring / raceway pair of a centrifugal pump based on silicon carbide.
- the hardness of the material is intended to protect the centrifugal pump from abrasive wear.
- a ceramic element made of silicon carbide is inserted into a casting tool and then filled with a metallic casting material.
- the object of the invention is to provide a centrifugal pump for pumping media containing solids. Damage to wear rings through abrasive wear is said to be effective be reduced.
- the pump should be able to maintain its efficiency in operation for a long time.
- the centrifugal pump should be characterized by high reliability and a long service life. You should also ensure easy assembly ge. Furthermore, the centrifugal pump should convince with the lowest possible manufacturing costs.
- a centrifugal pump for conveying media containing solids with at least one arrangement for reducing a backflow has a non-rotating element which at least partially has a layer of carbon.
- Such an arrangement for reducing a backflow can be designed according to the inven tion as a gap seal, which can be formed by a split ring and a raceway or by a split ring and an impeller.
- This arrangement serves to seal off spaces with different pressures and acts as a throttle between these spaces.
- a first space is to be understood as a space with higher pressure and a second space as a space with lower pressure.
- the space of higher pressure is accordingly the space of the pressure connection and the spiral housing.
- the space of lower pressure is the space of the suction area in front of the impeller.
- the split ring is arranged by means of a press fit on the pump housing and is accordingly fixed as well as non-rotating. As such, the split ring is arranged directly on the pump housing. Furthermore, it forms a gap with a rotating counter element.
- the rotating element can be, for example, a running ring which is arranged on the impeller, or the impeller itself or a part of the impeller, for example a radial and / or axial surface of the cover disk of the impeller in the case of a closed impeller.
- the split ring advantageously has a carbon layer on a radial surface such as the inside of the split ring and / or on an axial surface such as the front side of the split ring. As a result, the hardness of an ordinary gap ring made of a cast material and / or a stainless steel material is increased enormously. The split ring thus receives effective protection against the abrasive effects of solid particles in the pumped medium.
- the carbon layer is particularly advantageous in terms of touching or running against the counter-element. Due to the particularly smooth surface of the carbon layer and its extraordinary hardness, the split ring is insensitive to the rubbing action of a counter-element.
- a second split ring is used to seal the running wheel against the bearing carrier cover.
- This split ring also has a carbon layer that protects the split ring particularly against the abrasive effects of media containing solids and undesired contact with the impeller.
- the split ring cooperates with a counter-element in order to prevent a particularly small gap to reduce a backflow from a space of higher pressure into a space of lower pressure of the pump.
- This counter element can be designed in the form of a raceway ring which is arranged on a prepared surface of the cover disk of the impeller.
- the counter-element can be designed in the form of a machined, radial and / or axial surface of the cover disk of the impeller.
- a carbon layer is applied to the gap-forming surfaces. This ideally protects the rotating counter-element from the abrasive effects of the solid-containing medium.
- wear rings made of common metallic materials, in particular cast materials and / or stainless steel materials, which are then coated with a particularly hard carbon fiber that protects against abrasion. Layer to be coated.
- split rings can be produced from an inexpensive raw material that can be processed at the same time with known standard manufacturing methods.
- the carbon layers are understood to be layers in which carbon is the predominant component.
- the carbon layer can be applied, for example, with a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), a physical vapor deposition, for example by evaporation or sputtering) or a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method.
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- physical vapor deposition for example by evaporation or sputtering
- CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition
- amorphous carbon layer in particular a tetrahedral, hydrogen-free amorphous carbon layer, which is also referred to as a ta-C layer.
- the atomic bonds belonging to the crystal lattice of graphite (3 in total) are identified with the designation "sp2". There is an sp2 hybridization.
- each carbon atom forms a tetrahedral arrangement with four neighboring atoms.
- all atomic distances are equally small. There are therefore very high binding forces between the atoms, in all spatial directions. This results in the high strength and extreme hardness of the diamond.
- the atomic compounds belonging to the crystal lattice of diamonds, four in total, are identified with the designation “sp3”. There is thus an sp3 hybridization.
- the carbon layer consists of a mixture of sp3 and sp2 hybridized carbon.
- This layer is characterized by an amorphous structure.
- Foreign atoms such as hydrogen, silicon, tungsten or fluorine can also be built into this carbon network.
- a carbon layer on a split ring By arranging a carbon layer on a split ring, an extremely smooth axial surface with non-stick properties is created without the need for complex mechanical reworking of the impeller.
- several split rings can be introduced into a coating reactor, which is preferably designed as a vacuum chamber, where the ta-C coating is applied under moderate thermal stress.
- the centrifugal pump according to the invention with at least one split ring is characterized by relatively low production costs.
- the carbon layer is applied as a coating on a split ring.
- the thickness of the layer is advantageously more than 0.5 ⁇ m, preferably more than 1.0 ⁇ m, in particular more than 1.5 ⁇ m. Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous if the carbon layer is less than 18 ⁇ m, preferably less than 16 ⁇ m, in particular less than 14 ⁇ m.
- the carbon coating has an extremely smooth axial surface with non-stick properties, in which the mean roughness value R a of the carbon layer is less than 0.7 ⁇ m, preferably less than 0.5 ⁇ m, in particular less than 0.3 ⁇ m.
- the ta-C coating has a very low coefficient of friction and, at the same time, very good chemical resistance.
- the hardness of the coating comes very close to the hardness of diamonds, the hardness preferably more than 20 GPa, preferably more than 30 GPa, in particular more than 40 GPa and less than 120 GPa, preferably less than 110 GPa, in particular less than 100 GPa amounts to.
- ta-C coatings are harder than aC: H layers.
- ta-C does not contain any hydrogen. It can therefore be assumed that ta-C is more resistant than aC: H in contact with water (at temperatures above 80 ° C). In contact with other - especially polar - liquids that contain molecules in where hydrogen is bound, ta-C could also be more stable than aC: H.
- the carbon layer is not applied directly to a split ring, but first an adhesion promoter layer is provided.
- B. through the formation of stable carbides. Appropriately thin layers of chrome, titanium or silicon are used as bonding layers that meet these requirements. In particular, chromium and tungsten carbide have proven useful as adhesion promoters.
- the coating has an adhesion promoter layer which preferably contains a chrome material.
- the adhesion promoter layer is preferably more than 30% by weight, preferably more than 60% by weight, in particular more than 90% by weight, of chromium.
- the ta-C coating according to the invention is a simple, quickly realizable and economical coating for wear rings in centrifugal pumps.
- the coating according to the invention also has excellent sliding properties and good chemical resistance.
- most metallic materials are characterized by a higher ductility in direct comparison to a ceramic material.
- the advantage of the higher hardness due to the ta-C coating is based on the fact that small and large solid particles, which are often contained in the solid-containing media, can now have a greatly reduced abrasive effect on the gap seal, i.e. the split ring and a counter element. Due to the flow, these solid particles normally act like an abrasive.
- the wear ring, bearing ring, impellers and / or suction-side housing parts that are coated with ta-C have an extremely hard protective layer against abrasion, which significantly increases their service life when pumping solids-containing media. PECVD / PACVD processes can preferably be used for coating.
- the plasma is excited in the gas phase by coupling in pulsed DC voltage, medium-frequency (KHz range) or high-frequency (MHz range) power.
- pulsed DC voltage medium-frequency (KHz range) or high-frequency (MHz range) power.
- KHz range medium-frequency
- MHz range high-frequency
- PVD processes are used for coating. These processes are particularly simple and have a low process temperature. This technology leads to layers in which foreign atoms can also be incorporated as required. The process is preferably carried out in such a way that changes to the structure and dimensions of the materials to be coated (metallic, gray cast iron, etc.) are excluded.
- the ta-C coating Compared to a CVD diamond layer, the ta-C coating has the advantage that the coating temperature for CVD diamond layers is 600 to 1000 ° C and for amorphous carbon layers such as ta-C is significantly below 500 ° C. This is of particular technical relevance for the coating of metallic materials. The production of PVD diamond layers is not possible.
