Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase a rate of operation in a plant by combining two devices in an air or substitute gas supply line, which devices are a gas amount increase detecting device and a gas leak amount increase detecting device of a vent line of a noncontact dry gas seal. CONSTITUTION:Pressure switches 7, 8 for warning and compressor stopping are provided by considering a contactless dry gas seal 1 in abnormality when a passing amount is increased in a vent pipe 2. However, the pressure switches 7, 8 are operated when a flow amount is increased in the vent pipe 2 by increasing air sealing instrument air amount or increasing a clearance of a labyrinth 5. Then, a pressure switch 9 for detecting abnormality of an instrument air amount is installed in an air sealing instrument air line 4, and a sequence is built in such a manner that the noncontact dry gas seal 1 is first considered abnormal when abnormality of a vent line is detected without operating this switch 9 and when an alarm 7 of the vent pipe 2 is still sounded when the air sealing instrument air amount is returned to normal by detecting abnormality of both the pipes 2, 4.

The above-mentioned conventional technology is particularly suitable for compressors, blowers, and blowers that have forced lubrication type bearings, and uses air seals with gas such as air or nitrogen to prevent oil for the bearings from scattering to non-contact dry gas seals. However, this air, nitrogen, and other gases end up together with the leak gas from the non-contact dry gas seal. Therefore, the flow meter and pressure switch installed in the vent line will simultaneously detect air for this air seal, gas such as nitrogen, etc., and in order to detect abnormalities in the non-contact dry gas seal. Separation of gases such as nitrogen has not been considered, and even if there is no abnormality in the non-contact type dry gas seal, if the amount of air for air sealing or gas such as nitrogen increases, it may be necessary to use the non-contact type dry gas seal. There was a problem where it was treated as a gas seal abnormality.

The purpose of the present invention is to distinguish between an increase in the amount of leakage from non-contact dry gas seals and an increase in the amount of gas such as air for air seals and nitrogen. The purpose is to catch abnormalities only in the non-contact dry gas seal so that it does not stop easily.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a device for detecting an increase in the amount of gas supplied to the gas supply line for air, nitrogen, etc. for air seals, and detects an increase in the amount of leakage from the vent line of the non-contact type tri-gas seal. In combination with a detection device, a circuit is constructed using both detected signals, and when there is no increase in the amount of air seal gas, nitrogen, etc., and the amount of leakage from the vent line of the non-contact dry gas seal increases, a non-contact signal is detected. This allows the problem to be passed off as an abnormality in the contact type dry gas seal. In addition, if both detection devices detect an abnormality, first check to see if there is an abnormality in the air seal supply gas, and even if this abnormality disappears, there is still an abnormality in the vent of the non-contact dry gas seal. If this occurs, it can be considered as an abnormality in the non-contact dry gas seal.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1st
The figure shows a system diagram when the bearing is a forced lubrication type and a single type non-contact tri-gas seal is applied to the compressor. During normal operation, the gas inside the compressor is sealed by a non-contact type dry gas seal 1, and a small amount of gas that leaks is discharged to a safe place through a vent pipe 2. On the other hand, in order to prevent the oil in the bearing 3 that is forcibly refueled from going to the non-contact dry gas seal 1 side, a labyrinth 5°6 is provided between the non-contact dry gas seal 1 and the bearing 3.
Instrumentation air for air sealing is introduced between the labyrinth 5 and the labyrinth 6 via the piping 4. The instrumentation air for this air seal flows separately into the bearing 3 side and the non-contact dry gas seal 1 side, and the instrumentation air that flows to the non-contact dry gas seal 1 side passes through the non-contact dry gas seal 1. Together with the gas in the compressor, the gas flows through the vent pipe 2 and is released into the atmosphere. When the amount passing through the vent pipe 2 increases, it is assumed that the non-contact type dry gas seal 1 is abnormal, and pressure switches 7 and 8 are provided to issue an alarm and stop the compressor. However, if for some reason the amount of instrumented air for the air seal increases or the gap in the labyrinth 5 increases, and the amount flowing to the vent pipe 2 increases, the vent pipe alarm and pressure switch to stop the compressor will be activated. . Therefore, a pressure switch 9 is installed in the air seal instrument air line 4 to detect an abnormality in the amount of instrument air, and when this pressure switch does not work and an abnormality in the vent line is detected,
, 4 is detected, and when the air seal instrument air amount is restored to normal and the alarm 7 of the vent pipe 2 is still sounding, it is assumed that the non-contact dry gas seal 1 is abnormal. Assemble the sequence as shown. Here, pressure switches are used to detect each abnormality, but a flow meter with a limit switch may be used instead of these pressure switches.

In addition to the single type non-contact type dry gas seal of the present invention, even tandem types in which the second seal is normally used for bank-up, can also be used when the second seal is used even after the first seal has been damaged. By assembling a system similar to the single type described above, it is possible to detect true abnormalities in non-contact dry gas seals.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to distinguish between an abnormality in the non-contact type dry gas seal and an abnormality in the amount of gas such as air for air sealing and nitrogen.
It is possible to stop the compressor, blower, and blower without stopping the blower and the blower simply by an abnormality in the non-contact dry gas seal, which has the effect of increasing the operating rate of the plant.
