Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A multi-stage, double volute, centrifugal pump has an intermediate discharge and a final discharge constructed so that the pulses in the fluid at the discharge stages created by the impeller vanes passing the lips of the volute are eliminated within the pump assembly by the use of an impeller having an odd number of vanes and the volute lips are located 180 apart, and separate flow paths of equal length lead from each lip to a zone of confluence.
  • the point of convergence for the intermediate discharge is in the pump case, the point of convergence for the final discharge is also in the pump case.
  • such pumps may be damaged by the fracturing of diaphragms or dividers between the stages when the downstream conduits are vibrated by the pulses, sometimes resulting in sympathetic vibration of certain lengths of the downstream conduit and increased pressure pulses, that destruction of the conduit or its mountings or equipment in the conduit may result.
  • the present invention involves the provision in a multiplestage, double volute centrifugal pump at its discharge stage, either an intermediate discharge stage or a final discharge stage, an arrangement whereby the pressure pulses produced at the volute lips as the impeller passes the volute lips are cancelled.
  • the invention provides a discharge stage structure wherein the impeller has an odd number of equally spaced vanes, the volute lips are located at diametrically opposite locations and the flow passages downstream of the volute lips are of corresponding length and converge at a common location or zone of confluence at which the pressure pulses, being l80 out-of-phase, are effectively cancelled within the pump assembly, thereby protecting the downstream conduit and equipment therein, such as valves, instruments and the like, from being subjected to the pressure pulses.
  • the problem of pressure pulses occurring in the downstream conduit where the conduit is ofa resonant length is completely avoided.
  • FIG. I- is a view in longitudinal section ofa double volute, split case, multiple stage pump embodying the invention and providing for pulse cancellation at an intermediate discharge and a final discharge;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary transverse section, as taken on the line 2-2 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary transverse section, as taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary transverse section, as taken on the line 44 of FIG. 1.
  • the illustrative pump is in most respects typical of a boiler feed pump adapted to supply water to the boiler at fairly high pressure, say 4,500 p.s.i.
  • a barrel 10 has a bore 11 adapted to receive a double volute case 12 which is composed of companion half parts secured together at a middle plane by fasteners 14.
  • At the ends of the barrel 10 are covers 15 and 16, secured in place by suitable fastenings l7 and 18, respectively.
  • the pump shaft 19 is typically rotatably supported in bearing assemblies (not shown) and extends through the covers 15 and 16 and suitable bushings 20 and 21 and seals are provided to prevent leakage of pump fluid from the barrel 10.
  • the present pump has five stages, but other stage arrangements may be employed.
  • the first stage S1 comprises a double suction impeller 24 mounted on the shaft 19 and keyed at 25 for rotation with the shaft, within stage rings 26 which are fixed in the volute case 12.
  • the impeller 24, as is typical, has oppositely opening eyes 27 to which fluid to be pumped is respectively supplied through the suction inlet 22, via a cavity 28, defined between the volute case 12, the barrel l0 and the end closure 16, and via an inlet port or passage 29 in the volute case 12.
  • volute passages 30 formed in the respective volute case parts, these passages 30 arching longitudinally of the assembly, as shown in broken lines at 30a, to conduct fluid to the second pump stage S2.
  • inlet passage 29 and in the portion 30a of each volute passage 30 are the usual splitters or baffles 31, 32, respectively, which are employed to prevent swirling of the pump fluid, as it enters the first pump stage S1 and as it enters the second pump stage S2, under the influence of the rotating pump elements.
  • a single suction impeller 33 having an eye 34 and vanes 34v for impelling fluid to opposed volute passages 35 having portions 35a leading to the next successive pump stage S3, which, like stage S2, has an impeller 36 with vanes 36v for impelling fluid into opposed third stage outlet passages 37.
  • These passages 37 constitute long cross-over passages having portions 370 leading to the left, as seen in FIG. 1, past the respective fifth and fourth pump stages S and S4 to the eye 38 of the fourth stage impeller 39 having vanes 39v for impelling fluid into the volute passages 40 having arched portions 401: leading to the eye 41 of the fifthstage impeller 42 which, in turn, has vanes 41v for impelling fluid into outlet passages 42.
  • the multi-stage pump structure is essentially conventional, and the forces on the shaft 19 are essentially balanced by the oppositely working pump stages 51, S2. and stages S3 and S4, and by the double suction impeller at the first pump stage S1.
  • the discharge of fluid from the last or discharge pump stage S5 or from any intermediate stage causes pressure pulses in the discharge fluid stream which are or can be damaging to downstream piping or equipment and may be damaging to the pump.
  • pulses are caused when the impeller vanes pass the lips of the volutes, the lips being designated 301, 351, 371, 401 and 421 at the respective pump stages S1 through S5.
  • pulses are cancelled by providing equal length flow paths leading from the lips to a common point of convergence and by utilizing an odd number of equally spaced impeller vanes, with the volute lips located at diametrically spaced locations, whereby as the out-oflphase pulses reach the point of convergence, the pulses are cancelled.
  • Intermediate discharge from pumps of the type here involved may be desired, for example, to supply cooling water to the steam boiler to control the steam temperature.
  • an intermediate discharge may be utilized for any purpose wherein there is a need for taking off pump fluid in advance of the final discharge stage.
  • an intermediate discharge is provided at the second pump stage S2, as best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • volute lips 351 at the entrance to the respective volute passages 35 are located at positions spaced 180, and the impeller 33 has five vanes 34v equally spaced thereabout.
  • the vanes at the diametrically opposite side ofthe impeller are at a maximum distance from the other lip 351, whereby the amplitude of the pressure pulses at the two lips is opposite, that is, highest at one lip and lowest at the other lip.
  • Each volute case section has .a port 50 opening into one of the volute passages 35 at corresponding location 180 apart. and leading to elongated passages 51 in the respective volute case sections. These passages 51 communicate with corresponding conduits 52 which lead to inlets 53 to an annular channel 54, the inlets, as seen in FIG. 2, entering the channel 54 at diametrically spaced locations.
  • the ports 50, passages 51 and conduits 52 provide equal length flow paths leading to the channel 54.
  • the channel 54 as shown. is appropriately provided in the barrel cover 16, and an outlet conduit 0 55 is connected to the channel at a location equally spaced between the inlets 53. Accordingly, it will be seen that the fluid flow paths from the respective volute lips 35] to the outlet 55, at which the flow paths converge.
  • a functionally similar structure is incorporated in the pump for causing pulse cancellation in the final discharge stage SS, as best seen upon reference to FIG. 4.
  • the arrangement of the impel ler 42 at the last pump stage S5 and the volute lips 421 correspond to that shown in FIG. 3, so that out-ofphase pressure pulses will be produced at each lip 421 as the impeller rotates.
  • a flow structure is incorporared in the volute case 12 which defines with the shaft 19 a common chamber into which fluid flows from-both ofthe fifth stage volute passages 42a. The convergence of fluid in the chamber 60 from the equal length flow paths 42a results in pulse cancellation, as previously described, within the discharge chamber 60.
  • Fluid then flows from the volute case through passages 61 and 62 formed in the case sections, and thence through an annular space 63, which is defined between the case 12 and the barrel 10, to the outlet 23, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 4.
  • Vari ous webs 64 may be provided in the flow passages 61' and 62 to maintain fluid direction, and a barrier 65 may be installed in the annulus 63 to divide the flow.
  • Splitters 66 are also disposed in the chamber 60 to control the direction of flow of pump fluid, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 4.
