Definitions

  • This invention relates to plural-screw compressor- expander machines. These are positive displacement rotary machines which consist, essentially, of a pair of meshing helically lobed rotors, contained in a casing.
  • Plural-screw machines are widely used as compressors.
  • An important feature of such machines is that if the direction of gas flow is reversed, so that high-pressure gas is delivered to flow into the machine through the high pressure port and out through the low pressure port, it will act as an expander with the direction of rotation reversed.
  • the machine will also work as an expander when rotating in the same direction as a compressor provided that the suction and discharge ports are positioned on the opposite sides of the casing to those for a compressor since this is effectively the same as reversing the direction of rotation relative to the ports.
  • mechanical power When operating as a compressor, mechanical power must be supplied to a main rotor to rotate the machine. When acting as an expander, the rotor will rotate automatically and generate power.
  • a major problem with the plural screw machines is that the pressure difference between entry and exit creates very large radial and axial forces on the rotors whose magnitude and direction is independent of the direction of rotation. It is normal practice to have bearings on each end of the rotors and these have to withstand both the radial and axial loads induced by the pressure difference. As a result, some of the power transmitted through the rotors is lost in bearing friction. More importantly, in these machines, the pressure difference by which it is possible to compress gases within one pair of rotors is limited to approximately 60 bar in normal designs.
  • a plural-screw expander-compressor machine comprising intermeshing first and second helically-profiled rotors mounted for rotation in opposite directions in a housing by means of bearings at the opposite ends of the rotors, the interior of the housing being divided by a transverse partition into a compressor portion and an expander portion, the rotors extending through the partition and having circularly profiled portions where they extend through the partition, the two housing portions each having a higher pressure port and a lower pressure port, the higher pressure ports being adjacent the partition and on opposite sides of the rotors .
  • an expander-compressor in accordance with the invention mitigates the problem of high bearing loads associated with twin screw machines, and at the same time enables some power to be recovered from the expansion of the fluid between the cooler and evaporator for example in a C0 2 vapour compression cycle system.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic circuit diagram of a refrigeration system with carbon dioxide as refrigerant and incorporating a machine embodying the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the machine on the axes of the two rotors
  • Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the axis of the main rotor at right angles to Fig. 2
  • Fig. 4 shows the forces acting on the compressor- forming portions of the rotors
  • Fig. 5 shows the forces acting on the expander-forming portions of the rotors
  • Fig. 6 shows the net forces acting on the rotors
  • Fig. 7 is an enthalpy-entropy diagram of the system shown in Fig. 1
  • Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a fuel cell system incorporating a machine embodying the invention
  • Figs. 9 and 10 are views similar to Figs. 2 and 3 of an alternative machine suitable for use in the system of Fig. 8.
  • Fig. 1 shows the layout of a C0 2 refrigeration system, operating between an evaporating temperature of 0°C and a cooler exit temperature of 40°C.
  • C0 2 at approximately 35 bar has its pressure raised to 100 bar in a compressor 1 driven by a motor 2. It then passes through a cooler 3 where it is cooled in the supercritical state at approximately constant pressure until it reaches a temperature of 40°C.
  • the cooled dense fluid would then pass in conventional practice through a throttle valve in which the pressure is reduced back to 35 bar.
  • the pressure drop it liquefies and part flashes into vapour, causing the liquid-vapour mixture to fall in temperature to 0°C.
  • the cooled liquid C0 2 together with the vapour formed during flashing, then passes through an evaporator 4, where it receives heat from the cold surroundings at approximately 35 bar and 0°C until all the refrigerant is evaporated.
  • the dry, or slightly superheated vapour then enters the compressor 1 to complete the cycle.
  • the required pressure rise across the compressor is 65.2 bar, which is beyond the limit of what is readily achievable in a single stage twin screw compressor; due to excessive loads on the rotor bearings. Further, the energy losses due to the throttle valve would be substantial .
  • the compressor rotors are extended to form expander rotor portions in an expander 5.
  • the resulting machine is shown schematically in Figs . 2 and 3 and includes a housing 10 defining a chamber containing a helically lobed main rotor 11 and a helically grooved gate rotor 12 which meshes with the main rotor 11.
  • Each rotor has a cylindrical extension at each end by means of which it is rotatably supported in bearings (not shown) in the end walls of the housing 10, the extension at one end of the main rotor 11 being prolonged at 13 for a driving connection to the motor 2.
  • the interior of the chamber in the housing is divided by a transverse partition 14 into a longer compressor portion and a shorter expander portion.
  • the partition 14 is divided along a plane through the axes of the rotors and extends into an annular groove in each rotor 11, 12.
  • the two halves of the partition are engaged in the rotors and the assembly thus formed is introduced into the chamber through one end thereof .
  • the compressor portion of the housing has a large diameter (and thus large area) inlet port 15 at one end of the housing (its position relative to the rotors being indicated in Fig. 2) and a smaller diameter (and thus small area) outlet port 16 adjacent the partition 14, on the opposite side of the rotors .
  • the compressor inlet port 15 is connected by a line 21 (Fig. 1) to the outlet of the evaporator and the compressor outlet port 16 is connected to the inlet of the cooler 3 by a line 22.
  • the expander portion of the housing has a larger diameter (and thus large area) outlet port 17, at the opposite end of the housing 10 to the compressor inlet port 15, and a smaller area inlet port 18 adjacent the partition 14 on the opposite side of the rotors 11 and 12 to the outlet port 17.
  • the expander outlet port 17 is connected by a line 24 to the inlet of the evaporator 4 and the expander inlet port 18 is connected by a line 23 to the outlet of the cooler 3.
  • the ports 16 and 18 are the high pressure ports of the compressor and expander. They are on opposite sides of the rotors (Fig. 3) but axially close to each other, adjacent the partition 14.
  • high pressure dense fluid enters the expander port 18 at the top of the casing 10, near the centre, and leaves through the low pressure port 17 at the bottom of the casing at one end, as a mixture of liquid and vapour.
  • the expansion process causes the temperature to drop, as in passing through a throttle valve. However, here the fall in pressure is used to recover power and causes or assists the rotors to turn.
  • Vapour from the evaporator 4 enters the low pressure compressor inlet port 15, at the top of the opposite end of the casing, is compressed within it and expelled from the high pressure discharge port 16 at the bottom of the casing, near the centre, to be delivered to the cooler 3.
  • the high pressure ports are in the centre of the unit and arranged so that they are on opposite sides of the casing, the high pressure forces due to compression and expansion are opposed to each other and, more significantly, only displaced axially from each other by a relatively short distance. The radial forces on the bearings are thereby significantly reduced. In addition, since both ends of the rotors are at more or less equal pressure, the axial forces virtually balance out .
  • the following example indicates the extent of the advantages, which are possible from this arrangement .
  • Fig. 4 shows the compressor rotors portions 11C, 12C and the bearing loads which must be resisted if the refrigeration system is designed with a conventional screw compressor drive.
  • Fig. 5 the expander rotor portions HE, 12E and their corresponding bearing forces are similarly shown.
  • the axial bearing load on the main rotor is 92kN while the corresponding radial loads are 86kN at the high pressure end and 34kN at the low pressure end.
  • Fig. 6 shows the bearing forces as a result of use of the invention if the compressor and expander rotors are machined on the same shafts with the high pressure ports in the middle and the low pressure ports at each end of the housing.
  • the main rotor axial load has been reduced to OkN.
  • the radial bearing loads (added vectorially) are now 117k at the expander end and lOlkN at the compressor end.
  • thermodynamic performance an enthalpy-entropy diagram of the idealised cycle with reversible compression and expansion of the C0 2 is shown in Fig. 7.
  • the curve 31 is the saturation line for C0 2 and the curve 32 is the saturation line for CO z vapour .
  • point 21 corresponds to vapour being admitted to the compressor through the line 21 of Fig. 1, point 22 to discharge from the compressor 1 at 22 and entry to the cooler 3 and point 23 to exit from the cooler 3.
  • the fluid then passes through a throttle valve, isenthalpic expansion will lead to it entering the evaporator at point 24t.
  • the expansion process will be adiabatic and the fluid will enter the evaporator at point 24e.
  • work extraction reduces the specific enthalpy of the fluid entering the evaporator by 14.9 kJ/kg. This causes the same mass of fluid to enter the evaporator with less vapour and hence has the effect of increasing the refrigerating capacity of the plant by 12.4%.
  • a further preferred feature is the use of rotors which seal on both contacting surfaces so that the same profile may be used both for the expander and the compressor sections.
  • the compressor and expander profiles could be different. However, this would make manufacture extremely difficult, due to the very small clearance space, which could be less than 10mm, between the two rotor portions.
  • the compressor and expander rotors can be machined or ground in a single cutting operation and then separated by machining a parting groove in them for the partition on completion of the lobe formation.
  • the expansion section can contain a capacity control such as a slide or lifting valve to alter the volume passing through it at part load, in a manner identical to capacity controls normally used in screw compressors . This would be in addition to any capacity or volume ratio control used for the compression section. This would then replace the throttle valve control system normally required in conventional vapour compression systems .

  • the invention is especially suitable for operation on high pressure C0 2 systems, it may equally be used with more conventional refrigerants, or indeed, wherever there is a need for combined expansion and compression processes or even if a combined expansion- compression process is established only to reduce the rotor loads .
  • the balanced rotor concept is also applicable for the "expressor" system of a motorless self-driven expander- compressor machine described in the paper ⁇ Expressor' mentioned above .

Abstract

Un compresseur-extenseur à plusieurs vis comprend une enceinte (10) à l'intérieur de laquelle sont installés des rotors hélicoïdaux engrenants (11 et 12). Les rotors (11 et 12) sont supportés à chaque extrémité dans des paliers prévus dans les parois terminales de l'enceinte. L'intérieur de l'enceinte est divisé par une cloison transversale (14) pour former ainsi une partie compresseur (1) relativement longue et une partie extenseur (5) plus courte. Les orifices (16, 18) à haute pression des parties compresseur et extenseur sont adjacents à la cloison, sur les côtés opposés d'un plan traversant les axes des rotors. De même, les orifices (15, 17) à faible pression se situent sur les côtés opposés du plan traversant les axes des rotors mais adjacents aux parois terminales. Cette configuration réduit les charges s'appliquant sur les paliers des rotors.
