Definitions
- the supply system of the lubricating oil to the compressor body is separated from the injection oil supply system to the rotor and the bearing oil supply system.
- the present invention relates to a lubricating oil supply system and operation method for a multi-system lubricated screw compressor that solves the problem of reduced bearing material life due to lowering of strength of bearing material at high temperatures and lowering of viscosity of lubricating oil.
- the lubricating oil supplied to the injection oil supply system required for sealing the male and female low gaps and the system that supplies the bearings with lubricating oil are finally used in the compression process. It joins a certain low space and is discharged in a mixed state with the gas of the fluid to be compressed. Therefore, in both the oil supply systems, since the lubricating oil is finally mixed, the same lubricating oil must be used.
- a highly soluble gas such as a high hydrocarbon gas or water saturated natural gas or a highly condensable gas with a relatively high boiling point is used as the fluid to be compressed
- a high viscosity synthetic lubricating oil is used as the lubricating oil.
- high temperature operation is carried out by reducing the amount of lubrication, increasing the lubrication temperature, or adopting individual lubrication for the seal section of the low shaft.
- the reason for operating at a high temperature is that the dew point temperature is exceeded when the fluid to be compressed is discharged from the compressor body, and that the solubility of the fluid to be compressed in the lubricating oil is reduced by operating in a high temperature range.
- Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-097-558 discloses that a low-friction lubricating member that does not easily deteriorate such as seizure and has excellent lubricity is at least hydrophilic in the molecule.
- One of the friction surfaces of the two objects that come into contact with each other via a lubricant containing a compound having a group and a hydrophobic group as a component is a micron phase separation surface (compound 1 between a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion). )
- a lubricating member in which the other friction surface is formed with a “hydrophilic surface” is disclosed.
- this friction member an adsorption film having excellent peeling resistance is formed on each friction surface (especially compound 1), so that it is difficult to cause deterioration such as seizure. Since they are not familiar with each other, there is an advantage that a lubricated portion with excellent lubricity can be obtained.
- Fig. 5 shows the relationship between the amount of refrigerant gas dissolved in lubricating oil, temperature, and viscosity coefficient in the refrigeration cycle
- Fig. 6 shows the relationship between the amount of refrigerant gas dissolved in lubricating oil, temperature, and pressure. Therefore, a method of controlling the temperature and pressure around the bearing can be considered. That is, from FIGS. 5 and 6, it can be seen that if the temperature is increased and the pressure is decreased, the amount of refrigerant gas dissolved in the lubricating oil decreases, and if the amount of dissolved gas decreases, the viscosity of the lubricating oil increases.
- the bearing oil supply temperature is raised and the pressure is lowered, the lubricating oil will maintain a high viscosity, and this can maintain the oil film thickness, which can be expected to extend the life of the bearing. If it is increased, the bearing seizure will lead to a decrease in wear resistance, etc. Also, in terms of pressure, there is a restriction that the injection oil system to low pressure must maintain an injection pressure above a certain level. Along with this, the thrust load acting on the suction side from the discharge side of the male rotor is reduced. If the oil supply pressure to the balance piston is decreased, the thrust load increases, and there is a problem that the thrust bearing is prematurely worn or damaged. Disclosure of the invention

Therefore, the bearing lubrication pressure detected by the pressure transmitter 27 can also be set so that the lubrication flow rate is the minimum required flow rate.
- the oil pressure required by the balance piston during normal operation is excessive, it would be effective to separate the bearing oil supply system into a balance piston oil supply system and another bearing oil supply system. In that case, the flow rate in the other bearing oil supply system is controlled to ensure the minimum required flow rate.
- a check valve or an automatic valve is provided between the screw compressor and the oil separator 4 to increase the pressure. It is also effective to prevent gas from entering the compressor as much as possible.
- All the oil supply systems are basically closed-cycle, although there is oil transfer between each oil supply system, and the oil level control operator 1 2 adjusts the flow rate adjustment valves 1 7 and 1 9 The amount held can be controlled.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a part of the lubricating oil supply path according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
- devices or members denoted by the same reference numerals as the devices or members shown in FIGS. 2 to 3 according to the first embodiment mean the same members.
- the path is a path for supplying lubricating oil to the balance piston 51 by branching from the lubrication system for supplying oil to other bearings in the bearing lubrication system ⁇ . 5 2 and 5 3
- This is a pressure regulating valve and pressure transmitter installed in the bearing lubrication system. Except for the device or member, it has the same configuration as the first embodiment.
- the lubrication to the balance piston 51 and the lubrication to other bearings and shaft seals are pumped up from the same lubrication tank 7 and then higher pressure is required.
- the balance piston 51 is supplied with the same pressure, and the bearings where the amount of oil supply itself is a problem are reduced.
- the pressure control after pumping up by the oil tank 7, that is, the pressure control required by the balance piston 5 1 is the discharge pressure of the compressed fluid f from the compressor body 1 (detected value of the pressure transmitter 26) and suction
- the thrust load is calculated according to the pressure (detected value of the pressure transmitter 29), and the reaction force (balance piston load) required for it is calculated from the differential pressure before and after the pump-up (the discharge pressure minus the suction pressure). To decide.
- the calculation is performed by the control operator 31.
- the amount of oil supplied to the other bearings is secured by adjusting the pressure regulating valve 52 to ensure that the flow transmitter 53 always has the required flow rate.
- the bearing lubrication pressure may be small, but it is necessary to secure the minimum required flow rate for each bearing.
- the bearing oil supply system ⁇ is divided into the oil supply system L 8 for the balance piston 51 and the other bearing oil supply system, and the flow rate adjusting valve 52 is provided in the other bearing oil supply system.
- the pressure required for the balance piston 5 1 difference in detection value between the pressure transmitters 2 6 and 2 7) is the minimum, that is, the required oil amount of the balance piston does not exceed the required minimum oil amount of other bearings. If so, control the pressure regulating valve 5 2 so that the flow rate transmitter 5 3 exceeds the lower limit.
- a system that supplies lubricating oil to the compressor body is supplied, and lubricating oil is supplied to each bearing of the compressor body.
- the shaft is divided into a low-pressure bearing oil supply system and a high-pressure temperature control oil supply system that is supplied to the inside of the compressor body and controls the temperature in contact with the fluid to be compressed.
- Lubricating oil in the receiving oil system is cooled by an oil cooler from an oil tank through an oil cooler, and after being increased in viscosity, is always sent to each bearing of the compressor body. Therefore, if the bearing is seized, the wear resistance can be prevented from being lowered and the life of the bearing can be extended.
- the amount of lubricating oil for low evening bearings can be reduced to the minimum level, the discharge gas temperature of the fluid to be compressed can be increased, and the lubrication temperature of the lubricating oil for bearings should be less than the allowable bearing temperature. This makes it possible to achieve a lubricating oil supply system that enables the use of low-pressure, low-viscosity oil.
