Switzerland Application December 8, 1945, Serial No. 633,745- n In Switzerland January 13, 1945 The present invention relates to a multi-stage compressor in which at least one impeller is provided with blades for working with high peripheral speeds and for obtaining high stage-pres- .The invention consists in that the through a cooler, which is arranged within the compressor casing and forms an organic unit with at least one compressing stage.
With multi-stage compression it is known to recool the compressing medium between separate stages in order to avoid on the one hand impermissible increases of temperature in the medium delivered and in the machine, and on the other hand to reduce the power required for compre ss' ing. According to known proposals the intermediate cooling is effected in such a way that an intermediate cooler of a size which will ensure the requested cooling elTected is builton tothe compressor, or, as a separate aggregate from the com pressor, is inserted between each two stages of the compressor by Tmeans of pipes. It is then evident that the saving of space and weight obtained in any case with centrifugal compressors with high-stage pressure ratios is again cancelled to a large extent by adopting such separate intermediate coolers.
Also the known jacket-cooling adopted with slow-speed centrifugal compressors, which makes use of a double-walled compressor casing with hollow cooling spaces lying between them, cannot prove to be satisfactory in consequence of the surface being necessarily of modest dimensions for carrying away comparatively great quantities of heat, such as are produced in compressors with high and super-high stage-pressure ratios.
These draw-backs can be avoided with the present invention. As compared with the compressors mentioned with known form of coolers,-,
the multi-stage compressor accordingto the invention can be built for the service much lighter; at less cost, and taking up less room. In order to give a comparison, it is mentioned that-assuming equal output and the same pressure ratiothe dimensions for a reciprocating compressor are 3 m. x 3 m. x 1 m., for a slow-speed radial compressor 1.8 m. x 1.2 m. x 1.2 m., and for a two-stage. compressor according to the invention only 0.8 m. x 0.8 m. x 0.7 m. The last mentioned is particularly suitable for producing compressed air in workshops, steel works, mines, and
pressing gases and vapours in chemical processes.
6 Claims. (Cl. 230 -209) Examples of execution of the-subject matter of the invention are illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, where 1 Fig. 1 shows a first form of execution, in axial cross-section,
Fig. '2 a second form of execution. in axial cross-section, and i Fig. 3 a view of the impellerwith the casinghalf removed, and partly in section on the line 5 also for the production of power gas and for building into gas turbine plants and also for com III-III of Fig.2. v
Fig. 4 is a section along line IV-IV of the compressorunit according to the invention illustrated in Fig. 2.
In the example of execution shown in Fig. 1,
-the impeller .body I is fitted with two impeller wheels 2, 2' carrying blades 3, 3 which have a radial extension in cross-section normal to the impeller axis 4 at least in the zones lying at some distance from the axis 4, In this way the blades 3, 3' are prevented from being subjected in these zones to additional bending stresses, subjected as they are to a considerable stressing from centrifugal forces, running at high peripheral speeds of, for instance 300 m./s. and more, as is necessary for the highest stage-pressure ratios of 1.5 and more, referred to atmospheric air. At both ends the impeller body I is carried in the bearing positions 5, and at one end is coupled to 'the driving shaft 6. The impeller body 1 is surrounded by a casing which consists of an inlet part I, a deviating part or chamber 8 and an outlet spiral 9. In the deviating part 8 of the casing the annular-shaped intermediate cooler l0 surrounding the cone shaped impeller wheel 2' is built in and may consist for instance of a pipe coil conducting the cooling medium and surrounding the impeller wheel 2 of the second stage annularly, its beginning l6 and end ll' leading out of the compressor casing and being connected to supply and return piping for cooling medium (not shown in the drawing).
The medium delivered, for instance atmospheric air, is drawn-in in the direction of the arrow II and precompressed by the impeller blades 3 and the difiusor 12 following them. From the diffusor l2 the mediumpasses through the diverting part 8 and the intermediate cooler ill in the direction of the arrow l3, and then flowstemperature of the medium flowing in to-the sec- 0nd stage is reduced approximately to coolingwater temperature, whereby a reduction of the duction of the power required for the compression in the upper stage. At the same time the specific. gravity of the medium handled is correspondingly increased, which causes an increase in the stage-pressure ratio in the upper stage.
According toFigs. 2 and 3v two pressure stages are provided on the double cone shaped'impeller body 38 in such a way that each side of it is fitted with blades 39 and 39', which form the low-pres: sure and high-pressure stages respectively. These blades-39and 39' extend in a screw-line form from the impeller inlet to the impeller outlet, in the direction of rotation opposite ,to the direction ,of rotation l8 of the propeller, and make at the outletwith the peripheral tangent 40 of the impeller 38 and angle on whose cosine is greater than the ratio of the velocity of flow between'blade 39 and 39' to the doubled peripheral speed of the'blades at the outlet. The impeller 38 is carried atboth ends in the bearing positions I 9 of the compressor casing 2 l' and coupled to the driving shaft 20. The part of thecasing 2| surrounding the low-pressure part of the impeller 38 is made with double walls in such a way that the medium,- drawn-in in the direction'of the arrows 22 through the passages 23, lying between the blades 39, flows into the diffuser 24 and is diverted inwardly in the direction of the arrow 25 in the outer chamber 26in the casing. From here, the
medium passes into the inner hollow space 21 of the casing, from where the passages 28 formed by, the wallsof the diffusors 24- lead into the hollow space 29 of the part of the casing 2| sur- 3 or more stages on one and' the same impeller bodyand to provide them with intermediate cooling-built as anorganic unit together with the compressor.

rounding the high-pressure part of the impeller 38. In the annular chamber 29 the medium is diverted in the direction of the arrow 33 and led tothe high-pressure part of the compressor. It flows between the blades 39' and in the direction of the arrow 3| through the diffusor 30 into the spira1 32 and from there passes through the delivery branch 34 to the points of use.
