The invention relates to the technical field of centrifugal compressors for the low-temperature field, in particular to a low-temperature oil-free centrifugal compressor placed in an adiabatic environment.
Background
Centrifugal compressors play a critical role in the field of gas liquefaction of helium, air, nitrogen, neon, hydrogen, and the like, which typically involves cooling the gas to a very low temperature to convert it from a gaseous state to a liquid state. In the gas liquefaction process, the centrifugal compressor compresses working gas to high pressure to provide necessary pressure and energy for refrigeration circulation, and the high pressure gas releases heat in the expansion process, so that cooling is realized. The centrifugal compressor has higher energy efficiency ratio, can provide larger flow and higher pressure, is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption in the working gas liquefaction process, improves the overall energy efficiency, and meets the requirement of mass production.
The conventional compressor needs to heat the gas to normal temperature and then compress the gas, the compressed gas is subjected to cooling expansion after oil removal and filtration, and the system needs to be provided with devices such as a temperature emptier, a heat regenerator and the like, so that the system cost and the occupied area are greatly increased, and meanwhile, the process of cooling after the prior temperature rise extremely causes larger energy loss.
Meanwhile, the conventional compressor cannot work at a lower environment temperature due to the adoption of the oil bearing support, and the compressor has higher power consumption when working in a normal-temperature environment. Since the compression work of a compressor has a very close relationship with the inlet temperature of its working medium, an effective way to reduce the power consumption of a compressor is to reduce the inlet temperature of the compressor. When the centrifugal compressor operates in an extremely low temperature environment, the inlet temperature of the centrifugal compressor is extremely low, the centrifugal compressor is required to reduce heat exchange with the outside, and meanwhile, the motor of the compressor is required to normally operate, so that high requirements are provided for the structure and the rotor supporting mode of the compressor.

Further, since the variable compression work of the compressor is proportional to the intake air temperature, the expression is as follows,
Wherein W is multi-table compression work, m is a polytropic exponent, R is a constant, the inlet air temperature and p 2/p1 is the compressor pressure ratio; when the centrifugal compressor is operated at the extremely low inlet temperature, partial cold energy is needed to maintain a low-temperature environment, and when the inlet temperature of the compressor is-200 ℃ under the condition of unchanged compression ratio, the compression work of the compressor is about 25% of the inlet temperature of 20 ℃, so that the power consumption of the compressor is greatly reduced, and the energy of a system is saved.
Further, when the same structure is adopted on both sides of the centrifugal compressor, the compressor can be supported by the radial bearing only or the radial bearing plus the thrust bearing, and when the thrust bearing is set up, the thrust bearing is parallel to the thrust surface.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings and appended detailed description.
Example 1:
fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a parallel connection structure of two first-stage centrifugal compressors 2 and two second-stage centrifugal compressors 3 with the same structure at two sides, and according to the structure shown in fig. 1, the assembly and welding of the first-stage centrifugal compressors 2 and the second-stage centrifugal compressors 3 are completed, and then the two centrifugal compressors are placed in an adiabatic cold box 1 in a parallel connection mode. Wherein the impellers at two ends of the primary compressor 2 are positioned in the first heat insulation chamber 11, the motor of the primary compressor 2 is positioned in the second heat insulation chamber 12, and during the working process of the compressor, when the inlet temperature of the compressor is extremely low, the heat insulation of the impellers at two ends and the motor can be realized by a method of extracting different vacuum degrees from the first heat insulation chamber 11 and the second heat insulation chamber 12, and the vacuum degree of the second heat insulation chamber 12 can be lower than that of the first heat insulation chamber 11 because the temperature of the working environment of the impellers is lower, but the temperature of the motor is not lower. When the inlet temperature of the centrifugal compressor is not extremely low, the vacuum extraction of each heat-insulating chamber is not needed, and the impellers and the motors at the two ends can be in an environment wrapped by heat-insulating materials or pearlites.
When two centrifugal compressors with the same two-side structure are connected in parallel and work, working gas enters the runner of the first-stage compressor 1 from the inlet of the first-stage compressor volute 24, flows through the first-stage compressor impeller 22, flows into a pipeline from the outlet of the first-stage compressor volute 24, then enters the runner of the second-stage compressor 2 from the inlet of the second-stage compressor volute 34, flows through the second-stage compressor impeller 32, is discharged from the outlet of the second-stage compressor volute 34, and after the outlet airflows of the two centrifugal compressors are combined, the working gas is discharged from the heat-insulating cold box 1, so that the compression process of the working gas is completed.
In the working process of the centrifugal compressor shown in fig. 1, as the structures at two sides of the compressor are the same, the influence of axial force can be avoided, and as shown in fig. 5-8, the rotor structure and the bearing schematic diagram of the centrifugal compressor with the same structures at two sides are adopted. As shown in FIG. 5, the thrust bearing is not needed in the centrifugal compressor, the thrust surface is an inclined surface on the rotor, and only the radial bearing 231 is needed to support the rotor to run at high speed, so that the thrust area can be increased on the premise of not increasing the outer diameter of the main shaft, and the running stability of the rotor is improved; as shown in fig. 6, the inclined plane on the rotor is used as a thrust surface, and a thrust bearing 232 is simultaneously arranged, the thrust bearing 232 is parallel to the thrust surface of the rotor, and the thrust bearing 232 and a radial bearing 231 jointly support the rotor to run at high speed; as shown in fig. 7, the vertical plane on the rotor is used as a thrust surface, a thrust disc is not required to be arranged singly, and thrust bearings 232 are positioned on two sides of the thrust surface to support the rotor to run; as shown in fig. 8, the rotor is further provided with two thrust disks 233, the thrust disks 233 and the rotor spindle 212 are in interference fit, and the thrust bearings 232 are located at two sides of the thrust disks.
During operation of the centrifugal compressor, primary compressor rotor 212 is supported by the gas bearings and drives primary compressor wheel 22 into rotation. During operation, since the same configuration of primary compressor wheel 22 is employed on both sides of primary compressor 2, there is substantially no need to consider the effect of axial forces on compressor operation. The labyrinth seal structure is arranged inside the first-stage compressor end cover 213, so that gas leakage is prevented, and the first-stage compressor end cover 213 is welded with the first-stage compressor shell 211, so that cold leakage can be prevented. The end part of the compressor motor is provided with a heat insulation plate, and the heat insulation plate is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or epoxy resin, so that the compressor is prevented from being leaked and cooled. The operation of the secondary compressor 3 is similar to that of the primary compressor 2, and thus will not be described in detail.
The heat insulation cold box and the pipeline shown in the figure 1 are connected by welding to prevent gas leakage, and in the working process of the centrifugal compressor, the inlet air temperature of the compressor can reach-268 ℃ because the inlet air temperature is lower, especially when helium liquefaction work is carried out, so that whether the motor can normally operate at extremely low temperature or not needs to be considered.

If the air flow led out by the secondary volute cannot completely realize the heat preservation work of the compressor motor, the stator of the primary centrifugal compressor 2 can be heated by the air flow in the air storage tank 51 according to the feedback of the temperature sensor, and the stator of the secondary centrifugal compressor 3 can be heated by the air flow in the air storage tank 52, so that the heat preservation work of the motor can be assisted.
