- the object of the present invention is according to a first aspect achieved by a conveyor screw for a decanter centrifuge, the conveyor screw comprising a central body extending in a longitudinal direction, the central body comprising a first bearing surface at a first end of the central body and a second bearing surface at a second end of the central body, the second end being opposite the first end, the central body further defining a cylindrical portion adjacent the first bearing surface and a conical portion adjacent the second bearing surface, the conveyor screw further comprising a screw thread being attached to the central body, the screw thread extending in the longitudinal direction and defining an outer perimeter extending circumferentially about the cylindrical portion, the central body being free from any fluid openings between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface.
- the conveyor screw is used in a bowl of a decanter centrifuge to convey a slurry being a mixture of the solids and the water towards the heavy phase outlet. It rotates at a differential speed relative to the bowl for the thread to impose a conveying action on the slurry.
- the heavy phase outlet is located at a conical portion of the bowl.
- the bearing surfaces of the conveyor screw are located at opposite ends of the central body. There is typically a drive and a gearbox at one of the bearings for rotating the conveyor screw. During operation, the drive applies a torque onto the central body causing the conveyor screw to rotate.
- the typical conveyor screws used in standard decanter centrifuges accommodates a feed passage along the axis of the central body and at least one fluid opening along the axial direction for introducing the flowable feed material to be separated into the decanter centrifuge.
- this imposes structural limitations to the conveyor screw and decreases the rigidity of the conveyor screw as the fluid opening constitutes a void which limits the stiffness of the conveyor screw.
- the fluid opening is typically located near the middle of the central body along the axial direction which further decreases the bending rigidity of the overall structure.
- the feed passage inside the conveyor screw limits the use of reinforcing structures inside the conveyor screw for increasing the bending rigidity.
- the stiffness of the conveyor screw also depends on the diameter of the central body.
- An increased diameter of the central body will increase the stiffness of the conveyor screw. Consequently, the length of the central body can be increased if the diameter of the central body increases.
- an increased diameter of the central body will reduce the available process volume between the conveyor hub and the bowl wall and the retention time of the process media will be reduced and the oil extraction will be compromised.
- the presence of openings in the central body lowers the stiffness of the conveyor screw which lowers the natural frequency, also known as the eigenfrequency, of the conveyor screw. Further, making the central body longer will lower the natural frequency of the conveyor screw. Operating a long conveyor screw at high rotational speeds near the natural frequency of the conveyor screw may cause harmful vibrations that may cause the conveyor screw to fail. This also limits the length of the conveyor screw when operating at high speeds.
- the central body being free from any openings between the first bearing surface and a second bearing surface.
- any opening will constitute a constitutes a void which limits the stiffness of the conveyor screw.
- the conveyor screw comprises a cage structure extending from the central body at the first bearing surface in a direction away from the second bearing surface, the screw thread being at least partially attached to the cage structure.
- the cage structure part comprises an inner ring attached to the central body, and outer ring and a plurality of ribs interconnecting the inner ring and the outer ring.
- the screw thread can be attached onto the ribs while the inner and outer ring keeps the structural stability of the cage structure.
- the central body defines a cylinder at the cylindrical portion and a truncated cone at the conical portion.
- the cylinder and the truncated cone extend along the longitudinal direction.
- the screw thread follows the outline of the central body.
- the outer perimeter of the screw thread defines a diameter and the screw thread defines a length in the longitudinal direction, the ratio between the diameter and the length exceeding 3.9, preferably exceeding 4.2, more preferably exceeding 4.5, most preferably exceeding 4.9.
- a ratio between the diameter and the length of the central part can be established.
- the ratio is established between the outer perimeter of the screw thread instead of the diameter of the central body.
- Typical limits for maintaining sufficient stiffness for decanter centrifuges having a fluid opening in the central body is about 4. However, a higher ratio exceeding 4.2 is possible provided no fluid opening is provided in the central body. Such as a ratio exceeding 4.5 or 4.9.
- the diameter is exceeding 640mm, preferably exceeding 670mm, more preferably exceeding 700mm, most preferably exceeding 715mm.
- the central body defines a hollow interior which is at least partially reinforced by a reinforcing material extending at least half the distance between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface, the reinforcing material preferably being fibre reinforced epoxy.
- a hollow and fibre reinforced central body will allow the conveyor screw to be lighter and longer while maintaining the stiffness and structural stability of the conveyor screw.
- the screw thread comprising:
- a flight is understood to be a plate welded radially to the central body of the conveyor screw to provide the conveying surface of the conveyor screw.
- the conveyor screw further defining a third flight extending parallel with the second flight, the second flight extending to the second outer perimeter whereas the third flight extending to a third outer perimeter, the second flight and the third flight defining an oil channel between themselves, the oil channel defining a width between the second flight and the third flight being less than the distance between the central body and the second outer perimeter.
- the second flight and the third flight are formed as two parallel flights as described above.
- the second flight will spread out the solids and the third flight will collect the oil.
- the oil will flow towards the light phase outlet in the channel between the second flight and the third flights.
- the third outer perimeter defining a third diameter, the third diameter being smaller than the second diameter.
- the second flight passes through gaps in the first flight.
- first flight and the second flight can be intertwined with minimal interruption of the first flight. This will allow the conveying of the solids to be more efficient.
- the conveyor screw comprises a fourth flight being substantially identical to the second flight and extending in parallel with the second flight, and a fifth flight corresponding to the third flight and running parallel with the fourth flight establishing a further oil channel together with the fourth flight, the fourth flight and the fifth flight being phase shifted relative to the second flight and the third flight, respectively, preferably by 180°
- a fifth flight corresponding to the third flight and running parallel with the fourth flight establishing a further oil channel.
- the object of the present invention is according to a second aspect achieved by decanter centrifuge comprising a rotatable bowl and a conveyor screw according to any of the preceding embodiments accommodated inside the rotatable bowl, the rotatable bowl defining an inner surface substantially matching the outer perimeter of the screw thread.
