Definitions

  • the present invention is related to mechanical gas compressors and pumps. More particularly, the present invention is related to positive displacement rotary compressors, specifically including those known as Roots blowers.
  • the present invention is related to the rotary gas compressors disclosed and claimed in the applicant's previously issued U.S. Patents No. 4,859,158, 5,090,879, 5,439,358, and 6,312,300, issued Aug. 22, 1989, Feb. 25, 1992, Aug. 8, 1995, and Nov. 6, 2001, respectively.
  • Roots blowers The class of positive displacement compressors known as Roots blowers has been known to and has served industry continuously since the mid 1850's. Roots blowers typically include two lobed impellers, also called rotors, which are rotated about parallel drive shafts in opposite directions and which are meshed with one another in a phased relationship by means of timing gears attached to each drive shaft. Commercially available Roots blowers typically have impellers with two or three lobes, but have also been designed to incorporate four or more lobes. Roots blowers having two lobes on each impeller have the greatest volumetric capacity per revolution and are the most common, as volumetric capacity is reduced proportionately by adding additional lobes.
  • Roots blowers are particularly useful for moving large volumes of air or other gases from one volumetric space to another, typically against low pressure differentials. They are commonly referred to as blowers, as opposed to compressors, because compression of gas does not take place within the machine itself, as in a typical reciprocating piston-and- cylinder compressor; but rather takes place only when gas is discharged into a volumetric space that is at a higher pressure than the pressure of the intake gas.
  • Roots blowers are useful as compressors for compressing gases from atmospheric pressure up to approximately 5 to 7 psig discharge pressure. They are also useful for evacuation of gas from one volumetric space to another, and may be used as a vacuum pump or a vacuum booster.
  • Roots blowers offer a number of advantages over other types of gas compressors, including conventional reciprocating piston compressors, helical screw compressors, fan type blowers, and centrifugal compressors. Among the advantages are simplicity, ruggedness, high volumetric capacity, and trouble-free operation. Roots blowers are particularly useful for sweeping large amounts of gas from one space to another in situations where mixture of intake gas and discharge gas must be prevented, as there is little or no backflow or mixture of discharge gas with intake gas, either when the blower is operating or when it is stopped. Further, Roots blowers do not contaminate a gas being processed, as there are no valves or reciprocating, rubbing, or contacting parts in the flow stream, and lubrication of the impellers is not ordinarily necessary.
  • Roots blower also maintains constant displacement volume from intake through to discharge, a design feature not found in any other type of positive displacement compressor. Roots blowers have not been previously known as being particularly useful for compressing a gas against a substantial pressure differential. This limitation has been due to heating effects that accompany such compression. As a gas is impelled through a conventional Roots blower it is compressed and undergoes an increase in temperature as it is discharged into a volume of higher pressure discharge gas. Such compression is adiabatic, such that the temperature of the gas increases exponentially with increasing pressure ratios. In addition, heat is generated from dynamic flow effects as discharge pressure gas surges into impeller cavities and is then expelled in the opposite direction.
  • Roots compressors A significant advance in the art was the development of recirculation cycles to effect a moderate reduction in the heating of Roots compressors.
  • a portion of the discharge gas which is compressed to a higher pressure than the intake gas, is recirculated back into the compressor so as to effectively increase the pressure of gas being processed through the compressor.
  • some recirculating compressors a portion of the discharge gas is cooled prior to being recirculated back into the compressor. In both cases the operating temperature of the compressor is effectively reduced, thereby mitigating the heating problems noted above. By this means, a capability for sustained operation has been obtained in some cases up to pressure differentials of approximately 2.7:1.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,489,887 to Houghton discloses the general concept of cooling a Roots compressor by introducing recirculated gas of a lower temperature into the intake gas to reduce heating of the compressor passages which allow a portion of the high pressure discharge gas to be recirculated back into the pump.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,351,227 to Weatherston discloses a multi-lobed Roots type compressor having feed-back passages which allow a portion of the high-pressure discharge gas to be recirculated back into the pump housing.
  • Weatherston discloses only the use of quite small feedback passages, the size of which are not related to the sizes of the intake and discharge ducts. This results in uneven flow velocities and pressures. As a' result, the Weatherston compressor does not significantly mitigate overheating of the process gas.
  • German Patent No. 2,027,272 to Kruger discloses the concept of cooling and recirculating discharge gas in a two-lobed Roots compressor.
  • the compressor of Kruger due to its two-lobed configuration, has no provision for preventing communication and backflow from the discharge port into the recirculation ports.
  • French Patent No. 778,361 to Bucher discloses four-lobed Roots compressors having recirculation ports.
  • the recirculation ports are however small, with the intended purpose of using small, nozzle-like ports to allow the recirculated gas to . cool upon entry into the compressor housing.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,390,331 to Zimmerly discloses a lobed-impeller, positive displacement rotary pump that is designed primarily for pumping liquids, with no provision for recirculation.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,390,331 to Nachtrieb discloses a rotary compressor having four-lobed impellers, but likewise with no provision for recirculation.
  • U. S. Patent No. 2,906,448 to Lorenz discloses a positive displacement rotary compressor having two-lobed impeller, with a double-walled housing construction for cooling purposes.
  • British Patent No. 282,752 to Kozousek discloses a rotary pump that is characterized by rotor lobes that are particularly shaped so as to provide the maximum possible working space or displacement volume per revolution, and thereby maximize the volumetric capacity of the pump.
  • the pump disclosed in Kozousek discloses small recirculation ports which are for the purpose of obtaining even delivery of the gas.
  • the compressor of the present invention includes a housing having opposing end walls and mutually opposing interior sidewalls.
  • the compressor includes a pair of intermeshed, involutely lobed impellers, also referred to as rotors, which are rotatably journalled in the housing.
  • the impellers are driven to rotate in opposite directions so as to sweep a gas from intake through the housing from an intake port to a discharge port.
  • the impellers may have from four to nine lobes.
  • the volumetric spaces defined by adjacent lobes of the impellers, the opposing end walls of the housing, and the interior sidewalls of the housing are referred to herein as displacement cavities, in which parcels of gas are transported from the intake port of the compressor to the discharge port.
  • Upstream sidewall portions of the interior housing sidewalls are cylindrically curved, with a radius of curvature as close to the radii of the rotating impeller lobes as can be achieved within normal machining tolerances while avoiding sliding contact between the impeller lobes and said upstream sidewall portions, so as to form a substantially gas-tight seal between the tips of the lobes and the upstream sidewall portions in the manner of a conventional Roots blower.
  • the upstream sidewall portions of each sidewall extend from the intake port over an angular sector at least equal to the angular sector between adjacent lobes of the impeller, which for example in the case of a six-lobed impeller is 60 degrees, so as to impede or restrict backflow of gas into the intake port.
  • the cylindrically curved upstream sidewall portions of the interior sidewalls each extend through an angular sector equal to approximately twice the angular sector between adjacent lobes of the impellers.
  • the interior housing sidewalls further include downstream sidewall portions, which are spaced radially from the outer ends of the impeller lobes so as to allow limited peripheral counterflow, or reflux, of the compressed discharge gas back into the displacement cavities formed between adjacent lobes of the impellers.
  • the downstream sidewall portions extend over an angular sector, extending upstream from the discharge port, of at least the angle between adjacent lobes of the impellers, which in the case of a six-lobed impeller is 60 degrees.
  • the upstream sidewall portions of the sidewalls each extend over an angular sector that begins at the intake port and is approximately equal in magnitude to the angular sector over which any two adjacent lobes of the impeller extend, or 120 degrees in the case of a six-lobed impeller.
  • the downstream sidewall portions extend upstream from the discharge port over an angular sector also approximately equal to the angular sector represented by any two adjacent lobes of the impeller, or 120 degrees in the case of the six-lobed impeller.
  • the reflux discharge gas that is admitted into the displacement cavities by peripheral backflow along the downstream wall portions of the sidewalls serves to raise the pressure of intake gas within the displacement cavities, so that the gas pressure within each displacement cavity is nearly equal to that of the discharge pressure as the contained gas is swept into the discharge port.
  • the impellers each have six lobes, and the upstream and downstream portions of the interior housing sidewalls each extend over a combined angular sector of approximately 300 degrees, with the upstream wall portions each extending through an angular sector of approximately 120 degrees.
  • This embodiment is preferred because it results in slippage or backfill flow between the tips of the impeller lobes and the interior housing sidewalls being collected in a following cavity and carried forward into discharge, and is thereby characterized by improved volumetric efficiency.
  • the compressor of the present invention is useful in applications requiring the continuous compression of large volumes of gas or vapor.
  • the transverse flow arrangement and the rugged design permit in-line multiple staging driven by a single power source, so that very high compression system pressure ratios can be achieved.
  • the near-isothermal thermodynamic nature of the compression process provides an inherent energy efficiency advantage of from 8% to 14% when compared to any prior art method of compression.
  • Figure 1 is an end view in cross section of the preferred embodiment of the rotary compressor of the present invention.
  • the compressor 10 includes two involutely lobed impellers 12 and 14, each having six lobes, which are rotatably journalled within a hollow housing 16 and which are driven in opposite rotational directions as indicated by the directional arrows in Figure 1.
  • Impellers 12 and 14 are shaped and intermeshed with one another so as to form a substantially gas-tight seal that prevents gas from passing between them at all stages of their rotation.
  • gas is drawn into the compressor 10 through an intake port 18 and is discharged from a discharge port 20 at the opposite side of the compressor 10.
  • the individual lobes of the six-lobed impellers 12 and 14 are spaced at 60 degree angular intervals from one another.
  • the housing 16 has interior surfaces which include two opposing, parallel, planar end walls (only one end wall 22 of which is shown), each of which are orthogonal to the axes of rotation of the impellers 12 and 14.
  • Housing 16 further includes upper and lower opposing interior sidewalls 24 and 26, respectively, which each extend from the intake port 18 to the discharge port 20 across the upper and lower halves of the housing 16, respectively.
  • the volumetric spaces defined by adjacent lobes of the impellers 12 and 14, the opposing end walls of the housing, and the interior sidewalls 24 and 26 of the housing 16 are referred to herein as displacement cavities, in which parcels of gas are transported from the intake port 18 of the compressor to the discharge port 20.
  • the sidewalls 24 and 26 include upstream and downstream sidewall portions of slightly different sizes and shapes, which function to permit a limited amount of reflux backflow of high pressure discharge gas into the compressor 10 during transport of gas through the compressor 10, while nevertheless preventing backflow of discharge gas into the intake port 18.
  • the upper interior sidewall 24 includes an upstream sidewall portion 24a and a downstream sidewall portion 24b, which are separated by a short transition sidewall portion 24c.
  • the upstream sidewall portion 24a is cylindrically curved and has a radii of curvature that is as close to the maximum radii of the lobes of impeller 12 as can be achieved within normal machining tolerances, while avoiding frictional contact between the tips of the lobes of impeller 12 and the upstream sidewall portion 24a.
  • the impeller 12 and the upstream sidewall portion 24a taken alone, thus function in the manner of a conventional Roots compressor to sweep parcels of gas from the intake port 18 into the compressor 10, while preventing backflow of gas into the intake 18.
  • the upstream sidewall portion 24a extends over an angular sector, as measured from the upper edge of the intake port 18, of approximately 120 degrees, or the angular sector defined by any two lobes of the six-lobed impeller 12.
  • the downstream sidewall portion 24b is at all points at a greater distance from the axis of rotation of impeller 12 than is the upstream sidewall portion 24a. More specifically, in the preferred embodiment the downstream sidewall portion 24b has a noncylindrical curvature that is characterized by a slightly but progressively increasing distance from the axis of rotation of impeller 12, as measured moving from the upper Hp of discharge port 20 toward the transition sidewall portion 24c; such that the backflow reflux of discharge gas past the tips of the lobes of impeller 12 diminishes at greater distances upstream from the discharge port 20.
  • the greater radial distance of the downstream sidewall portion 24b from the axis of rotation of the impeller 12, as compared with that of the upstream sidewall portion 24a which effectively forms a gas-tight seal with the tips of the impeller lobes, allows a controlled and limited amount of high pressure discharge gas to flow back into the displacement cavities that are bounded by downstream sidewall portion 24b, before they open into the discharge port 20.
  • the progressively increasing distance between the surface of the downstream sidewall portion 24b and the impeller axis of rotation, as measured moving toward the discharge port 20, allows for a greater amounts of high pressure discharge gas to flow into the displacement cavity nearest the discharge port 20, while allowing a lesser amount of discharge gas to flow into the immediately preceding displacement cavity, and an even lesser amount to flow into the next preceding displacement cavity.
  • limited and progressively decreasing amounts of high pressure discharge gas are allow to backflow into the three displacement cavities located upstream from the discharge port 20, while at all times the displacement cavity or cavities nearest the intake port 18, that is, any displacement cavity bounded by the upstream sidewall portion 24a, is effectively sealed and thus does not permit backflow of high pressure discharge gas into such cavity or into the intake port 18.
  • transition sidewall portion 24c which merely represents a transition in the machined interior sidewall 24 of the housing 16
  • higher pressure discharge gas is progressively and increasingly admitted past the tip of the lobe so as to increase the pressure in the preceding displacement cavity, such that by the time the displacement cavity is opened to the discharge port 20 the pressure in the displacement cavity is substantially increased, thereby reducing the increase in temperature occasioned by opening of the displacement cavity into the discharge port 20.
  • the upper sidewall portions 24a, 24b and 24c of the illustrated preferred embodiment, combined, extend over an angular sector of somewhat less than 270 degrees, as measured from the upper edge of the intake port 18 and extending across the upper side of the housing 16 to the upper edge of the discharge port 20.
  • the lower interior sidewall 26 includes an upstream sidewall portion 26a, a downstream sidewall portion 26b, and a short transition sidewall 26c, all of which function in the same manner as the corresponding portions of upper sidewall 24, to admit limited amounts of high pressure discharge gas to pass by the tips of the lobes of impeller 14 and thereby increase the pressure in the displacement cavities before they open into the discharge port 20, yet without allowing backflow of high pressure discharge gas into the intake port 18.
  • the lower sidewall portions 26a, 26b and 26c likewise extend together over an angular sector of somewhat less than 300 degrees, as measured from the lower edge of the intake port 18 to the lower edge of the discharge port 20.
  • the size of the intake port 18 is larger than the size of the discharge port 20, which is a consequence of the gas being discharged from the discharge port 20 being at a higher pressure and lower volume than the gas drawn into the intake port 18.
  • the upper and lower cylindrically curved upstream sidewall portions 24a and 26a each extend, in the illustrated preferred embodiment, over an angular sector of approximately 128 degrees, which angular sector is slightly greater than the angle spanning two displacement cavities between any two successive pairs of lobes of the six-lobe rotors 12 and 14.
  • the sidewall portions 24a and 26a have a substantially cylindrical curvature, with a preferable tolerance of not more than two one thousandths of an inch between the outside lobe tips of the impellers 12 and 14 and the cylindrical surfaces of the sidewall portions 24a and 26a.
  • the surfaces of the upper and lower downstream sidewall portions 24b and 26b of the housing 16 are at a greater distance from the axes of the impellers 12 and 14 than are the surfaces of the sidewall portions 24a and 26a, so as to provide a controlled clearance between the tips of the impeller lobes and the surfaces of sidewall portions 24b and 26b, in order to allow controlled amounts of internal reflux counterflow of high pressure discharge gas back into the displacement cavities between the lobes of the impellers 12 and 14.
  • the upstream sidewall portions 24a and 26a need only span an angular sector of at least 60 degrees in order to avoid any backflow of compressed discharge gas back into the intake port 18, while still allowing controlled reflux counterflow of compressed discharge gas into the displacement cavities formed between adjacent lobes of each rotor 12 and 14.
  • the upper and lower downstream sidewall portions 24b and 26b need only span an angular sector of at least 60 degrees from the upper and lower lips of the discharge port 20, respectively, in order to allow controlled reflux counterflow of compressed discharge gas back into at least one displacement cavity before it opens into the discharge port 20.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un compresseur de gaz rotatif à déplacement positif, à flux transversal et à reflux interne, fonctionnant dans un cycle de compression quasi-isotherme, à un volume constant, avec une masse variable. Ce compresseur comprend une paire de roues engrenées à lobes développants qui entraînent le gaz d'un orifice d'admission, à travers le logement du compresseur, jusqu'à un orifice d'évacuation dans des cavités de déplacement de volume constant définies par les lobes des roues et par les parois du logement du compresseur. Les cavités sont scellées efficacement contre les orifices d'admission et d'évacuation sur les parties de parois latérales du logement intérieur situées en amont qui s'étendent à partir de l'orifice d'admission pour formant un angle au moins égal à l'angle formé par des lobes adjacents des roues. En aval, les parois latérales du logement intérieur sont radialement séparées des roues en rotation, de sorte à permettre un reflux limité de gaz de refoulement dans les cavités de déplacement avançantes. Le gaz en reflux se dilate de façon isentropique dans les cavités de déplacement de volume constant.
