Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a radial compressor stage for a radial compressor.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- From DE 195 02 808 C2 the fundamental construction of a radial compressor having at least one radial compressor stage is known. Accordingly, it is disclosed in this prior art that the, or each, radial compressor stage of a radial compressor comprises an impeller rotating with respect to a stator, wherein the impeller comprises a hub and multiple impeller blades on the rotor side. Each impeller blade of the impeller comprises a flow inlet edge and a flow outlet edge, wherein between the flow inlet edge and the flow outlet edge of each impeller blade a suction side, a pressure side and an outer surface facing the stator extends, wherein the outer surface of the respective impeller blade borders the stator and serves for sealing relative to the stator. Such an impeller of a radial compressor, in which the outer surfaces of the impeller blades directly border the stator, does not comprise a shroud and is also called an open impeller. The impeller blades are positioned in an impeller flow channel that is bounded by the hub of the impeller and the stator.
- Furthermore it is known from DE 195 02 808 C2 that the radial compressor stage comprises a diffuser positioned downstream of the impeller, which comprises multiple guide blades on the stator side. Each guide blade of the diffuser has a flow inlet edge and a flow outlet edge, wherein between the flow inlet edge and the flow outlet edge of each guide blade a suction side and a pressure side extends. The guide blades are positioned in a diffuser flow channel bounded by the stator.
- From DE 195 02 802 C2 it is evident that between the impeller and the stator of the radial compressor stage shown there, a so-called impeller side gap is formed, namely between a back side of the impeller and the stator. This impeller side gap is connected to an intermediate flow channel that extends between the impeller flow channel and the diffuser flow channel.
- A further radial compressor stage with such an impeller side gap is known from DE 10 2007 019 264 A1.
- From EP 2 014 925 A1 a radial compressor stage with a diffuser is known, in which the angular spacing of flow inlet edges of two guide elements arranged adjacent to one another differs from the angular spacing of flow inlet edges of two other guide elements arranged adjacent to one another.
- During the operation of a radial compressor, the radial compressor stages are exposed to mechanical excitations and oscillations, which can cause damage to the radial compressor stage, in particular to the impeller blades of the impeller of the radial compressor stage. Such mechanical excitations can be based on synchronous excitation mechanisms and on asynchronous excitation mechanisms.
- In particular, three-dimensional and unsteady flow phenomena are generated through the interaction of rotating and stationary components. Under certain conditions, pressure fluctuations develop which have a character rotating in direction of rotation or in a direction that is opposite to the direction of rotation. The number and the rotating speed of these pressure fluctuations are arbitrary.
- This phenomenon is the basis of an asynchronous excitation of open impellers in radial compressors. Up to now, no methods are known that can specifically counteract such asynchronous excitations in order to avoid a critical vibration excitation, in particular of the impeller blades of the impeller.
- There is therefore a need for a radial compressor stage for a radial compressor, in which in particular the impeller blades of the impeller are exposed to low vibration excitation in particular through such asynchronous excitations.
- Starting out from this, it is an object of the present invention to create a radial compressor stage for a radial compressor that fulfils the above requirements and accordingly is exposed to a low vibration excitation in particular through such asynchronous excitations.
- According to a first aspect of the invention, this object is solved through a radial compressor stage such that a gap, which is formed between an outer edge of the downstream back side of the impeller and an opposite edge of the stator, is sealed via a seal in such a manner that the seal seals the impeller side gap from an intermediate flow channel extending between the impeller and the diffuser.
- According to a second aspect of the invention, this object is solved through a radial compressor stage such that a gap, which is formed between an outer edge of a downstream back side of the impeller and an opposite inner edge of the stator, seen in circumferential direction, has a varying gap dimension.
- With each of the two above aspects according to the invention, asynchronous excitations of open impellers in radial compressors can be easily and reliably counteracted, as a result of which the vibration excitation in particular for the impeller blades of the impeller of the radial compressor stage can be reduced. The aspects according to the invention are alternatively employed on a radial compressor stage.
- The two above aspects according to the invention concern measures that relate to the coupling of the impeller side gap to the intermediate flow channel extending between the impeller flow channel and the diffuser flow channel. The vibration excitation for the impeller blades of the impeller of the radial compressor stage can be reduced.
- According to an advantageous further development of the first and/or second aspect according to the invention it is provided that the flow inlet edges of the guide blades of the diffuser on the stator side lie on a first circle contour in such a manner that the flow inlet edges of all guide blades on the stator side have an identical spacing from the flow inlet edges of the respective adjacent guide blades. The flow outlet edges of the guide blades of the diffuser on the stator side lie on a second circle contour in such a manner that in at least one first circumferential position the flow outlet edge of the respective guide blade on the stator side has a spacing from the flow outlet edge of at least one adjacent guide blade other than in second circumferential positions.
- According to a further advantageous further development of the first and/or second aspect according to the invention it is provided that at least one guide blade of the diffuser on the stator side has a curvature which deviates from the other guide blades on the stator side.
- According to a further advantageous development of the first and/or second aspect of the invention it is provided that in at least one first circumferential position a diffuser flow channel section formed between adjacent guide blades of the diffuser on the stator side has a flow cross section that deviates with respect to the diffuser flow channel sections formed in second circumferential positions.
- The above advantageous further developments of the first and/or second aspect according to the invention relate to measures for the design configuration of the diffuser.
- Particularly preferred is a radial compressor stage on which one of the aspects according to the invention, which relate to the coupling of the impeller side gap to the intermediate flow channel, combined with at least one of the advantageous further developments, which relate to the configuration of the diffuser, are employed.

Eachimpeller blade 12 comprises aflow inlet edge 16 and aflow outlet edge 17. Between theflow inlet edge 16 and theflow outlet edge 17 of each impeller blade 11 a pressure side, a suction side and radially outside on theimpeller blade 11 anouter surface 18 of therespective impeller blade 11 facing thestator 12 extends. Theouter surface 18 of theimpeller blade 11 borders thestator 12 and serves for sealing relative to thestator 12. Such animpeller 10, in the case of which theouter surfaces 18 of theimpeller blades 11 indirectly border thestator 12, does not have a shroud and is also called an open impeller. - According to
FIG. 1 , a diffuser 19 on the stator side is positioned downstream of theimpeller 10. The diffuser 19 comprisesmultiple guide blades 20 on the stator side. Theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side are positioned in a diffuser flow channel 21 bounded by thestator 12, wherein each of theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side comprises aflow inlet edge 22 and aflow outlet edge 23. Between theflow inlet edge 22 and theflow outlet edge 23 of therespective guide blade 20 on the stator side asuction side 24 and apressure side 25 of the respective guide blade extends. (SeeFIG. 5 .) - Between the
impeller flow channel 13, in which theimpeller blades 11 of theimpeller 10 on the rotor side are positioned, and the diffuser flow channel 21, in which theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side are positioned, anintermediate flow channel 26 extends, via which medium compressed in the radial compressor stage starting out from theimpeller 10 can flow in the direction of thediffuser 16. According toFIG. 1 , animpeller side gap 28 is formed between aback side 27 of theimpeller 10 and thestator 12, wherein thisimpeller side gap 28 according toFIG. 1 is coupled to theintermediate flow channel 26 via agap 34. - The details of a radial compressor stage described above making reference to
FIG. 1 count among the prior art. The invention now relates to such details of a radial compressor stage with the help of which the danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, can be reduced. - According to a first aspect of the invention (see
FIG. 1 , 2) it is proposed that thegap 34, which is formed between anouter edge 35 of the downstream backside 27 of theimpeller 10 and an oppositeinner edge 36 of thestator 12, and via which theimpeller side gap 28 is coupled to theintermediate flow channel 26, is sealed via aseal 37. - Accordingly, the
seal 37 seals theimpeller side gap 28 from theintermediate flow channel 26 running between theimpeller 10 and the diffuser 19. For this purpose, a honeycomb-shapedseal 37 is employed in the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 1 , which is supported by thestator 12 and is located opposite theouter edge 35 of the downstream backside 27 of theimpeller 10. Through such sealing of thegap 34 and thus of theimpeller side gap 28 relative to theintermediate flow channel 26 the danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, can be reduced. -
FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a radial compressor stage according to the first aspect of the present invention, which differs from the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 1 by the specific configuration of theseal 37. Accordingly, no honeycomb seal is employed inFIG. 2 . Rather, the seal in the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 2 is designed as a lip-type seal, with which accordingly a sealing lip 38 comes to lie against theouter edge 35 of the downstream backside 27 of theimpeller 10. This sealingelement 37 ofFIG. 2 can, for example, be a wiping seal or touch seal or a brush seal. - A radial compressor stage according to a second aspect of the invention is shown in
FIGS. 3 and 4 . According to the second aspect of the invention it is proposed that thegap 34, via which theimpeller side gap 28 is coupled to theintermediate flow channel 26, seen in circumferential direction, has a varying gap dimension. To this end, theinner edge 36′ of thestator 12 located opposite theouter edge 35 of the downstream backside 27 of theimpeller 10 is contoured wavelike according to the dashed line course ofFIG. 4 , so that accordingly seen in circumferential direction the spacing between theinner edge 36′ of thestator 12 and of theouter edge 35 of the downstream backside 27 of theimpeller 10 is not constant, but rather variable. - Through the wavelike contour of the
inner edge 36′ of thestator 12, this gap dimension of thegap 34 that is variable in circumferential direction preferentially varies steadily, i.e., not step-like. - The above measures according to the first aspect of the invention and according to the second aspect of the invention are alternatives. Thus, these measures are not employed in combination with one another.
- According to a first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention it is provided (see
FIG. 5 ) that all flow inlet edges 22 of allguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side lie on afirst circle contour 29. - Here, the flow inlet edges 22 of the
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side lie on thefirst circle contour 29 such that the flow inlet edges 22 of allguide blades 20 on the stator side have an identical spacing from the flow inlet edges 22 of the respectiveadjacent guide blades 20. The flow inlet edges 22 of theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 located seen in circumferential direction of the diffuser flow channel 21 next to one another are accordingly evenly distributed seen in circumferential direction, so that accordingly all flow inlet edges 22, which lie on thefirst circle contour 29, have identical circumferential distances to adjacent flow inlet edges 22. - According to the first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention it is provided, furthermore, that the flow outlet edges 23 of the
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side lie on asecond circle contour 30. - Here, the flow outlet edges 23 of the
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side lie on thesecond circle contour 30 such that, in at least one first circumferential position of the diffuser flow channel 21, theflow outlet edge 23 of therespective guide blade 20 on the stator side positioned there has a distance from the flow outlet edge of at least oneadjacent guide blade 20 other than in second circumferential positions of the diffuser flow channel 21. - Accordingly, in the region of the flow outlet edges 23, no equal distribution of the flow outlet edges 23 is provided seen in circumferential direction of the diffuser flow channel 21. On the contrary, the equal distribution of the flow outlet edges 23, which all lie on the
second circle contour 30, is preferentially cancelled in the first circumferential positions in order to thereby reduce the risk of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers. - According to the first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention it is possible in a first extreme case that the corresponding
flow outlet edge 23 in a single circumferential position of the diffuser flow channel 21 has another distance from the respective adjacent flow outlet edges 23, that by contrast in the other circumferential positions the flow outlet edges 23 with respect to their circumferential positions are equally distributed. - It is likewise possible according to the first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention in a second extreme case that in all circumferential positions of the diffuser flow channel 21 the flow outlet edges 23 have different distances in each case from the respective adjacent flow outlet edges 23.
- In the second circumferential positions of the diffuser flow channel 21, the
respective guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side preferentially all have identical, second stepping angles. - The
guide blades 20 on the stator side positioned in the, or each, first circumferential position by contrast preferentially have a first stepping angle, which deviates from the second stepping angle, in particular by plus minus ±10°, preferably by plus minus ±7°, particularly preferably by ±5°, most preferably by ±3°. - According to the first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention it is accordingly proposed for reducing the danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, to reposition the flow outlet edges 23 of selected
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side in circumferential direction, preferentially subject to cancelling or interrupting the flow outlet edges 23 which, seen in the circumferential direction of the diffuser flow channel 21, are otherwise equally distributed. - In an extreme case, the flow outlet edges 23 of all
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side can have different distances from the respective adjacent flow outlet edges 23. - As is evident in
FIG. 5 , aflow outlet edge 23″ (see dashed line course of the inFIG. 5 right guide blade) in the direction of thepressure side 25 of the respectiveadjacent guide blade 20 or aflow outlet edge 23′ (see dashed line course of the inFIG. 5 left guide blade) can be relocated in circumferential direction in the direction of thesuction side 24 of the respectiveadjacent guide blade 20 in such a manner that all flow outlet edges 23 as before still lie on thesecond circle contour 30. - This corresponds to a change of the stepping angle of the
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side in selected circumferential positions. In selected second circumferential positions of the diffuser 19, therespective guide blades 20 on the stator side have deviating stepping angles. - Those selected
guide blades 20 which, compared with the remainingguide blades 20 on the stator side, have a different stepping angle are characterized in that their stepping angle deviates in particular by ±10°, and particularly preferably by ±5° from the stepping angles of the remainingguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19. - Through the above measures of the first advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, a slightly higher or a slightly lower loading can be imposed on the
guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 in defined circumferential positions at uneven circumferential distances. The danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, can thereby be further reduced. - According to a second advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention (see
FIG. 6 ), it is proposed for reducing the danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, that both the flow inlet edges 22 of theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side positioned on thefirst circle contour 29 as well as the flow outlet edges 23 of theguide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side positioned on thesecond circle contour 30 are equally distributed, i.e., in each case have identical circumferential distances. - According to the second advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, however, at least one
guide blade 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side has a deviating curvature between theflow inlet edge 22 and theflow outlet edge 23, namely asuction side 24′ and apressure side 25′ with a curvature deviating relative to theother guide blades 20. This is shown inFIG. 6 by the dashed line course for themiddle guide blade 20. - According to the second advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, it is possible in a first extreme case that exclusively a
single guide blade 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side has a deviating curvature, that by contrast allother guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side have identical curvatures. - According to the second advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, it is likewise possible in a second extreme case that all guide
blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side have curvatures that deviate from one another. - It is preferable to employ on the radial compressor stage the above first advantageous further development and the above second advantageous further development combined with the first aspect or the second aspect of the invention to reduce the danger of unsteady flow phenomena which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers.
- A third advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention is discussed in the following making reference to
FIG. 7 . - According to the third advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, it is proposed, for reducing the danger of unsteady flow phenomena, which can lead to an asynchronous excitation of the open impellers, to change a diffuser flow channel section 33 formed between
adjacent guide blades 20 of the diffuser 19 on the stator side in at least one first circumferential position of the diffuser flow channel 21 such that the same compared with the diffuser flow channel sections formed in second circumferential positions has a deviating flow cross section. - Accordingly it is evident from
FIG. 7 that in a first circumferential position of the diffuser 19 betweenadjacent guide blades 20 on the stator side the respective diffuser flow channel section 33 has a reduced flow cross section, namely because of the fact that sidewalls 31, 32 on the stator side bounding the respective diffuser flow channel section 33 are curved towards the inside subject to reducing the flow cross section of the respective diffuser flow channel section 33. Even merely one of thesesidewalls sidewalls stator 12. - According to the third advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention, it is possible in a first extreme case that exclusively in a single circumferential position of the diffuser flow channel 21 the corresponding diffuser flow channel section 33 has a deviating flow cross section, but by contrast all other diffuser flow channel sections 33 have identical flow cross sections. According to the third advantageous further development of the first aspect and/or second aspect of the invention it is likewise possible in a second extreme case that in all circumferential positions of the diffuser flow channel 21 the diffuser flow channel sections 33 each have different flow cross sections.
- The measures of the third advantageous further development can be employed combined with the measures of the first advantageous further development and/or the measures of the second advantageous further development combined with the first or the second aspect of the invention. Preferably, the measures of all three advantageous further developments are employed on a radial compressor stage combined with the first aspect or the second aspect.
- Thus, while there have been shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.
