The principle of centrifugal compressor structure

The principle of centrifugal compressor structure Structure principle of centrifugal compressor    Centrifugal compressor is composed of rotor, stator and bearing. The impeller and other parts are sleeved on the main shaft to form a rotor. The rotor is supported on the bearing and driven by the power machine to rotate at high speed. The stator includes components such as casing, partitions, seals, air intake chamber and volute chamber. Fixing elements such as diffusers, bends and recirculators are formed between the partitions. A centrifugal compressor with only one impeller is called a single-stage centrifugal compressor, and a centrifugal compressor with more than two impellers is called a multi-stage centrifugal compressor (see figure). The stage is composed of the impeller and the diffuser and other channels behind it. Impeller is the key component of centrifugal compressor, there are three types: closed, semi-open and open. The closed impeller is composed of blades, wheel cover and disc. The semi-open impeller has no wheel cover and has a roulette. The open impeller has no wheel cover and disc, and the impeller is on the shaft. When the impeller rotates at high speed, due to the force interaction between the blade and the gas, mainly due to the centrifugal force, the gas is sucked from the center of the impeller and flows to the outer edge of the impeller along the blade channel (the channel between the blades). The impeller works on the gas, the gas gains energy, and the pressure and speed increase. Then, the gas flows through channels such as a diffuser, the speed decreases, and the pressure further increases, that is, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy. The gas flowing out of the diffuser enters the volute chamber and is transported out, or enters the next stage through the bend and the recirculator to continue compression. During the entire compression process, the specific volume of the gas decreases and the temperature increases. As the temperature increases, the compressed gas needs to consume more energy. To save power, multi-stage centrifugal compressors often use intermediate cooling when the pressure ratio is greater than 3. Groups of stages separated by intermediate cooling are called segments. The gas enters the intercooler from the previous section, and after cooling to reduce the temperature, it enters the next section to continue compression. The intercooler generally uses water cooling. The part contained in each cabinet is called a cylinder. The centrifugal blower has a low exhaust pressure, so it is generally a single-cylinder structure without intermediate cooling. What is the use of centrifugal compressor   In the centrifugal compressor, the high-speed rotating impeller gives the centrifugal force of the gas and the diffuser of the gas in the diffuser channel to increase the gas pressure. In the early days, because this compressor was only suitable for low, medium pressure and large flow, it was not noticed by people. Due to the development of the chemical industry, the establishment of various large-scale chemical plants and refineries, centrifugal compressors have become a key machine for compressing and transporting various gases in chemical production, and occupy an extremely important position. With the achievement of gas dynamics research, the efficiency of centrifugal compressors has been continuously improved, and due to the high-pressure sealing, the processing of small flow and narrow impellers, and the development of key technologies such as multi-oil wedge bearings, the high pressure and wide A series of problems in the development of the flow range greatly expand the application range of the centrifugal compressor, so that it can replace the reciprocating compressor in many occasions, and greatly expand the application range. The pressure of industrial high-pressure centrifugal compressors is (150~350)×105Pa, and the pressure of centrifugal compressors for gas injection in offshore oilfields is as high as 700×105Pa. The flow rate of the centrifugal blower used for blast furnace blasting is as large as 7000m3/min, the power is 52900KW, and the rotation speed is generally above 10000r/min.    Some basic chemical raw materials, such as propylene, ethylene, butadiene, benzene, etc., can be processed into important chemical products such as plastics, fibers, and rubber. In petrochemical plants that produce this basic raw material, centrifugal compressors also occupy an important position and are one of the key equipment. In addition, in other industries such as petroleum refining and refrigeration, centrifugal compressors are also extremely critical equipment. Application development of centrifugal compressor   We all know that centrifugal compressors are typical representatives of speed compressors. In the case of the same cooling capacity, especially in the case of large capacity, compared with the screw compressor unit, the huge oil separation device is omitted, the weight and size of the unit are small, and the floor space is small; the centrifugal compressor has a simple and compact structure. Fewer moving parts, reliable operation, durable, low operating cost; easy to achieve multi-stage compression and multiple evaporation temperatures, easy to achieve intermediate cooling, resulting in low power consumption; very little lubricant mixed in the centrifugal unit, the heat exchanger The effect of heat transfer is less, and the unit has higher efficiency. Combining these characteristics, let's take a look at the better applications of centrifugal compressors.    At present, the centrifugal compressors used in domestic centrifugal chillers are mainly from Trane, Carrier, York and other brands. With the development of society, the amount of cooling required by users is getting higher and higher. In addition, due to the requirements of energy saving, centrifugal compressor units have an increasingly wider market. Some domestic air-conditioning manufacturers such as Haier, Aucma, Gree and Midea have launched their own centrifugal chillers. With the general trend of energy saving and consumption reduction, China's urbanization level continues to increase, and building energy consumption is also increasing. The centrifugal chiller with the highest performance coefficient will undoubtedly become a hot spot in the market. In recent years, the sales of centrifugal chillers have continuously increased. Demand for refrigeration compressors is also increasing significantly.   Most domestic enterprises that develop centrifugal chillers only buy imported compressors, and basically have no profit. Foreign centrifuge manufacturers will not easily transfer their core technologies. To develop centrifugal refrigeration compressors, they have to take the path of independent development. With the continuous maturity of design and manufacturing technology, the development of domestic centrifugal refrigeration compressors has become possible
