Abstract
A target fluid discharged from a pump is partially diverted, by a lead-in duct, into a housing chamber including a motor therein. A top bearing supporting a motor shaft is placed in the lead-in duct, and lubricated by the target fluid flowing through the lead-in duct. A top seal is installed downstream from the top bearing in the lead-in duct. The top seal has a slight gap from the motor shaft to form a throttle structure which increases a flow resistance. The throttle structure maintains a pressure in an area near the top bearing, to thereby suppress presence of gases.
Description
- The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-338540 filed on Sep. 29, 2003. The content of the application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a submersible pump integrally configured by a pump and a motor to drive the pump, and submerged in a reserved target fluid, for use in pumping up the target fluid.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- To pump up liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas, or the like, there has been utilized a submersible pump in which a pump, such as a centrifugal pump, and a motor for driving the pump are integrated into one unit. Such a submersible pump is used in a state that it is entirely immersed in the target fluid to be pumped by the pump. The submersible pump is configured so as to allow entry of the target fluid into regions around a stator and a rotor of the motor and around bearings for shafts of the motor and the pump in order to utilize the target fluid for cooling, lubrication, or the like.
- In one example pump, a target fluid discharged by a pump is conveyed to a bearing located at an upper end of a shaft to lubricate the bearing. Such a pump is described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. Hei 5-26949 (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 6-80896).
- However, in such submersible pump, when the target fluid contains a easily vaporizable constituent, it is common for the bearing to be insufficiently lubricated due to vaporization of the constituent in the vicinity of the bearing, leading to malfunction of the pump.
- This invention provides a submersible pump in which a bearing is advantageously protected against insufficient lubrication.
- A submersible pump according to the present invention comprises a lead-in duct through which a target fluid discharged from a pump is partially directed to flow through a bearing supporting a shaft of a motor almost at an upper end of the shaft and then conveyed into a housing in which the motor is installed, and a throttle structure installed downstream from the bearing in the lead-in duct.
- Further, in the submersible pump, an entrance of a reflux channel for returning, to a pump unit, the target fluid existing in the housing in which the motor is installed is disposed at a place situated higher than the bearing located near the upper end of the motor shaft.
-
FIG. 1 schematically shows a configuration of a submersible pump according to an embodiment; -
FIG. 2 shows a detail of the structure near an upper end of a motor shaft in the submersible pump; and -
FIG. 3 shows another detailed structure near the upper end of the motor shaft in the submersible pump. - Referring now to drawings, an embodiment of this invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 schematically shows a configuration of asubmersible pump 10 according to this embodiment. Thesubmersible pump 10 has a structure in which apump unit 12 including a pump for boosting a pressure of a target fluid to be pumped up and amotor unit 14 for driving the pump are contained in apot 16. An opening at the top of thepot 16 is covered by ahead plate 18. The target fluid is introduced from anintake pipe 20 into thepot 16, while gases are removed through adegassing pipe 22 to enable thepot 16 to fill with the target fluid. Thesubmersible pump 10 should be placed in the same vertical position as illustrated inFIG. 1 in actual use. In other words, thesubmersible pump 10 is placed so that thepump unit 12 will be located below themotor unit 14. - The
pump unit 12 includes a multistage centrifugal pump in which a plurality ofcentrifugal pumps 26 are arranged on acommon pump shaft 24. A lower part of the multistage centrifugal pump, more specifically, a suction port of thecentrifugal pump 26 on the first stage is attached to asuction pipe 28 which includes, in the inside thereof, ainducer 30 mounted to thepump shaft 24 and actuated with thepump shaft 24. - The
motor unit 14 located above thepump unit 12 includes anelectric motor 32 for driving the multiphase centrifugal pump and ahousing cylinder 34 placed so as to enclose themotor 32. Themotor 32 comprises amotor shaft 36 shared as thepump shaft 24, arotor 38 fixed to themotor shaft 36, and astator 40 fixed on thehousing cylinder 34. The bottom of thehousing cylinder 34 is joined to anattachment plate 42, and thepump unit 12 is also joined to theattachment plate 42 to be integral with themotor unit 14. The top of thehousing cylinder 34, on the other hand, is connected to adischarge manifold 44. Thus, thehousing cylinder 34, theattachment plate 42, and thedischarge manifold 44 constitute a housing in which themotor 32 is installed. - The target fluid is pressurized in the
pump unit 12. Theattachment plate 42 holds a bottom bearing 46 which is a rolling bearing rotatably supporting themotor shaft 36, and includes abottom seal 48 for suppressing the flow of pressurized target fluid into themotor unit 14. Because a small gap is present betweenbottom seal 48 and thepump shaft 24, a small amount of the target fluid enters ahousing chamber 49, which is a space formed in the housing of thepump unit 12. This small amount of target fluid flows through the bottom bearing 46 while lubricating the bottom bearing 46. Thedischarge manifold 44 holds a top bearing 50 rotatably supporting themotor shaft 36 in the proximity of an upper end of themotor shaft 36. Further, in thedischarge manifold 44, there is provided adischarge port 54 communicating with adischarge hole 52 formed in thehead plate 18. The target fluid delivered from the multistage centrifugal pump is conveyed to thedischarge port 54 through adischarge channel 56 running around components, such as, for example, thestator 40 of themotor unit 14, and then pumped to the outside. - The
discharge manifold 44 comprises a lead-induct 58 for diverting the target fluid from thedischarge port 54 into thehousing chamber 49. The top bearing 50 is installed in the lead-induct 58, and atop seal 60 is installed downstream from the top bearing 50. These components associated with the lead-induct 58 will be described below. Anentrance 62 a to areflux channel 62 for returning the target fluid contained in thehousing chamber 49 to thepump unit 12 is provided in thehousing chamber 49, at a location higher than the top bearing 50, preferably at a topmost part of thehousing chamber 49. Through thereflux channel 62, gases accumulated in thehousing chamber 49 is collected and conveyed to thepump unit 12 together with the target fluid. -
FIG. 2 shows a detailed configuration of the lead-induct 58. The lead-induct 58 directs the target fluid from thedischarge port 54 to the top bearing 50 which is a rolling bearing, preferably a ball bearing. The target fluid flows downstream and passes through gaps between an inner race and a rolling element of the top bearing 50 and between an outer race, an inner race and the rolling element. The target fluid passing through the top bearing 50 functions as a lubricant for the top bearing 50. The target fluid flowing past the top bearing 50 reaches thetop seal 60 which includes asmall clearance 64 between the seal and the outside of themotor shaft 36. Along with the outside perimeter of themotor shaft 36 and theclearance 64, thetop seal 60 constitutes a throttle structure in which a flow path in the lead-induct 58 is narrowed, wherein flow resistance in the lead-induct 58 increases. This throttle structure causes a pressure differential to develop across theclearance 64, with the result that the area around the top bearing 50 is maintained at a pressure close to the pressure raised by the multistage centrifugal pump, while the inside of thehousing chamber 49 is maintained at a relatively lower pressure. In addition, a flow rate of the target fluid passing through the lead-induct 58 is restricted by the throttle structure, which suppresses any decrease in discharge from thesubmersible pump 10, in other words, any decrease in flow rate of the target fluid to be pumped. - By maintaining the area around the top bearing 50 at a high pressure, the target fluid is protected from vaporizing in the area around the bearing, even if a constituent prone to vaporization is present in the target fluid, which in turn ensures sufficiency of the lubrication of the bearing. Accordingly, the dimensions of each component of the throttle structure, such as, for example, clearance and length, should be set a dimension that will ensure the capability of maintaining a pressure which can prevent, or significantly suppress, vaporization of the target fluid in the area around the bearing. The shape of the flow path in the throttle structure may be, for example, crank-shaped rather than straight. Further,
labyrinth structure 66 as shown inFIG. 3 may be formed in theseal 60 so as to alternately dispose narrow and broad gaps. - Because the gas which occurs in the
housing chamber 49 is returned to thereflux channel 62 from the position located higher than the top bearing 50, it is possible to prevent a situation in which lubrication will be affected by lowering of the fluid level by the gas accumulated in thehousing chamber 49 to a level reaching the top bearing 50. - The
submersible pump 10 according to this embodiment may be preferably used as a pump for handling LNG which contains carbon monoxide. When the LNG contains carbon monoxide, a gas (carbon monoxide) appears at a lower temperature because the boiling point of carbon monoxide is lower than those of other constituents in the LNG, and lower than the boiling point of another LNG which contains no carbon monoxide. As described above, by installing the throttle structure downstream from thetop bearing 50, poor lubrication due to the occurrence of gas in the vicinity of thetop bearing 50 can be prevented. - Although an example three-stage centrifugal pump was described to illustrate a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of stages is not so limited, and may be changed as appropriate according to design requirements. Similarly, bearings other than the ball bearing may be used as the top and bottom bearings, and may be selected in consideration of other design requirements.
