Description
I
ROTODYNAMIC FLUID MACHINE
The present invention relates to rotodynamic fluid machines and in particular to high power multistage units having a plurality of impeller stages. These can be used, for example, as high pressure pumps, particularly in the oil industry.
Multistage rotodynamic fluid machines can offer an increased output pressure over a single stage unit. However the provision of additional impeller stages necessarily increases the overall size of the unit.
Also, in known machines a coupling is required between the driving shaft extending from a motor and the driven shaft connected to one or more impeller stages, and this adds to the overall length of the machine. Furthermore couplings are a source of vibrational problems in rotating shafts and can greatly complicate a machine's rotor dynamics.
Traditional mechanical bearings become worn with use and require lubrication in order to ensure correct operation. The use of oil to lubricate rotating parts causes a decrease in efficiency and the oil may leak contaminating other parts.
Traditional high power multistage machines require high capacity thrust bearings and balancing discs to take up the resultant axial load created by the driving force of the impeller stages acting on the fluid. Seals are also required l l between the shafts and the housing to isolate the motor. Such parts also require lubrication and cause further losses in efficiency.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a rotodynamic fluid machine comprising a motor arranged for directly driving a shaft, and a motor housing which is sealed to enclose the motor, a first impeller directly connected to the motor driven shaft, arranged to move fluid from an inlet to an outlet in a first direction relative to the shaft axis, a second impeller directly connected to the motor driven shaft, arranged to move fluid from a second inlet to a second outlet in an opposite direction to the first direction relative to the shaft axis, and a fluid conduit connecting the first outlet to the second inlet.
Another aspect provides a pump comprising a rotodynamic fluid machine of the first aspect.
The rotodynamic fluid machine may comprise a magnetic bearing supporting the shaft in a motor housing.
A rotodynamic fluid machine according to the present invention is particularly advantageous because mounting impellers directly onto the motor shaft eliminates the need for a coupling between a motor shaft and an impeller shaft. Thus the shaft length and the total length of the machine can be reduced. Axial thrust is also decreased and so thrust bearings car-1 be reduced ir1 size due to che back to back arrangement of the first and second impellers.
The number of radial bearings may also be reduced since bearings need not be provided on either side of a coupling Al 1, (i.e. one for each of the motor and impeller shafts). Without a coupling, there is no need for advanced in-field alignment procedures and the rotor dynamics of the machine is simplified with vibration levels reduced. Furthermore the use of balancing disks is not required.
According to a preferred embodiment the rotodynamic fluid machine may further comprise a dry gas seal between the motor housing and the shaft.
The use of magnetic bearings and dry gas seals advantageously allows for a rotodynamic machine which does not require the use of lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid. Thus the parasitic power losses caused by oil shear and drag are avoided. Furthermore the problem of oil leakage is eliminated and the overall machine is simplified. Maintenance is reduced as well as the number of auxiliary systems.
The motor housing may be sealed to enclose the motor and, according to a preferred embodiment, means are provided for maintaining a pressure within the motor housing different from the pressure outside the motor housing. Advantageously a closed loop pressurized gas circulation system in fluid communication with at least a part of the motor may be provided, for example at least the rotor part.
According to a preferred embodiment, the motor directly drives the shaft which may be integral with a rotor part of the motor.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a rotodynamic fluid machine comprising a motor directly driving a shaft and an impeller directly connected to the shaft.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a rotodynamic fluid machine comprising a motor driving first and second impeller stages arranged to pump fluid in directly opposed directions parallel to the axis of the shaft.
For a better understanding of the present invention and to show how the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the single figure, which is a representation of a rotodynamic fluid machine according the present invention.
The figure shows a rotodynamic fluid machine 10 with an electric motor 12 enclosed in a pressurized housing 14 with end walls 16 and 18. The arrangement can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
A shaft 20 is integrated with the rotor of the motor 12 and extends from each end of the motor through the end walls 16, 18. The diameter of shaft 20 decreases towards its free ends.
A first set of impellers 22 is mounted on one end of shaft on one side of the motor 12 and a second set of impellers 24 is mounted on the opposite end of shaft 20 on the other side of the motor 12. The shaft 20 and the impellers 22, 24 are rotatable about a common axis 26.
The impellers 22, 24 are arranged in a back-to-back configuration such that the first impeller set 22 is oriented 180 compared to the second impeller set 24, and so that the first and second impellers move fluid in diametrically opposed directions relative to the axis 26 of the shaft 20. The direction of fluid flow as referred to here is the global overall flow: naturally the local direction of flow at the outlet from the impeller blades will be radial or radial/axial mixed flow compared to the shaft, but the overall flow from impeller inlet to impeller outlet will be axial. The impellers 22 and 24 also comprise diffuser units. The fluid is moved towards the motor 12 from each impeller 22, 24. This serves to balance the axial forces in the rotodynamic machine, decreasing axial thrust and allowing smaller thrust bearings to be used. The fluid flows into each impeller 22, 24 from the free ends of the shaft 20 and thus creates end suction which is advantageous. The fluid flows into the machine through a primary inlet conduit 34 in the direction of arrow A towards a free end of the shaft 20 and enters the first set of impellers 22 at first inlet 42. It exits the first set of impellers 22 at first outlet 52. A fluid conduit 28 provides a fluid connection between the first set of impellers 22, and the second set of impellers 24. This runs generally parallel to the motor 12 as a crossover line and connects the first outlet 52 to the inlet 44 of the second set of impellers 24 at the other free end of the shaft 20, and exits the second set of impellers 24 at second outlet 54.
A dry gas seal 30 of known construction is located on shaft 20 at each side of the motor 12 to isolate the fluid from the motor. The inner surfaces of each seal 30 are shaped to maintain a gas seal with the outer surface of the rotating shaft 20.
Magnetic bearings 32 are interposed on each side of the motor 12 between the respective end walls 16, 18 of the motor housing and the shaft 20.
During operation, the electric motor 12 drives both sets of impellers 22 and 24 directly via the shaft 20. Process fluid enters in the direction of arrow A through the inlet 34 and is pumped along the fluid conduit 28 by the first set of impellers 22. The conduit 28 is shaped to alter the direction of the fluid flow such that the fluid flows in substantially the opposite direction to arrow A as it enters the second set JO of impellers 24, at the other free end of the shaft 20.
The fluid exits the second set of impellers 24 via second outlet 54 and exits the machine via an outlet conduit 36, which is shaped such that the fluid exits the machine 10 in the direction of arrow A. An alternative outlet conduit 38 is shown which is oriented substantially at right angles to the outlet conduit 36.
The work done on the fluid by the first set of impellers 22 causes a resultant tensile force in shaft 20 which acts in the opposite direction to the tensile force caused by the second impeller 24. Thus the overall resultant force within the system during normal operation is effectively cancelled and thus substantially reduced, ideally to zero.
The magnetic bearings 32 act as radial and thrust bearings, by imparting a magnetic force on the shaft 20 and maintaining an air gap between the shaft 20 and the bearings 32. Sensor feedback systems of known construction (but not shown) are used to maintain the gap spacing so that there is no contact between the shaft 20 and the bearings 32. Hence there is virtually no friction or wear between these parts and the need for lubricating oil or any hydraulic fluid is avoided.
The motor stator is externally cooled by liquid 40, disposed around the motor stator, within the motor housing.
The motor rotor is cooled by a closed loop pressurised gas circulation. During operation, the motor housing is maintained at a pressure greater than that of the surrounding environment.
This provides compact cooling and, for a rotodynamic machine running at high speeds (typically from 4,000 up to 12,000 rpm), allows the overall dimensions of the pump to be further reduced.
The use of magnetic bearings and dry gas seals in combination with overpressure of the motor provides for an oil free rotodynamic unit and motor with no leakage of lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid. This increases efficiency, typically in the region of 2 to 3%, compared to a machine with lubricated parts and normal bearings and seals. In some cases, process lubricated bearings, which also exclude external lubrication supply, can be applied.
The rotodynamic machine of the present invention may be provided with more or less impellers positioned on each side of the motor, for example two impellers may be provided on each side.
The present invention is applicable to rotodynamic machines such as, for example, axial or centrifugal pumps, particularly to high-power (>l MW) pumps.
