Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a high-temperature molten salt pump, which is a single-stage, single-suction, submersible pump type, suitable for a special pump for conveying high-temperature molten salt medium, and is used in melamine projects, alumina projects, caustic soda flake projects, solar power generation, etc. Background Art
[0002] High-temperature molten salt pumps are used to transport molten salt in a molten state. The temperature of molten salt is usually 220~560℃, which is a high-temperature, high-melting-point medium. Traditional molten salt pumps use sliding bearings with self-flushing pipes. When the molten salt pump is shut down, a large part of the molten salt in the pump will flow back into the tank. Molten salt will accumulate in the gap between the sliding bearings and the gap between the mouth rings and solidify due to the cessation of heating. When the motor starts to drive the pump main shaft to rotate, the molten salt in the pump is in a molten state, which may cause the main shaft to break or other parts to be damaged; or when the reheating is not sufficient, the pump can be turned, but the self-flushing pipe is not completely melted. At this time, starting will cause dry friction of the sliding bearing, causing damage to the sliding bearing.
[0003] The high-temperature molten salt delivered by the traditional molten salt pump is discharged from the outlet section on the bottom plate along the shaft, and the heat is directly transferred to the bearing frame and the bearing. Therefore, the heat conduction of the high-temperature molten salt pump causes the bearing temperature to be too high, resulting in bearing lubrication failure and pump operation failure. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively cool the bearings and other parts of the high-temperature medium delivery pump in real time. The cooling method of the traditional molten salt pump is to use a water cooling jacket directly on the bottom plate and above the outlet section to cool the shaft temperature suddenly, thereby causing stress and deformation problems of the shaft. Summary of the invention

Because there is no molten salt in the upper cylindrical tube, an air cavity is formed to isolate heat; there is no high-temperature molten salt to directly conduct heat to the bottom plate and bracket of the pump, avoiding a sudden drop in temperature from the pump components in the liquid part filled with molten salt medium to the cooling cavity of the bearing chamber in the liquid part, and realizing a reasonable temperature drop gradient of the shaft and the supporting parts.

After entering, a part of the molten salt flows back to the molten salt tank through the first leakage hole, and the molten salt pressure is reduced; the remaining part of the molten salt enters the cavity on the upper part of the sliding bearing, and the molten salt is sealed in the cavity below the auxiliary impeller through the dynamic sealing action of the auxiliary impeller; if the auxiliary impeller is not completely sealed, at this time, a small amount of the remaining molten salt leaks into the upper cylindrical tube through the auxiliary impeller seal, and flows back to the molten salt tank through the second leakage hole of the upper cylindrical tube.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] The present invention improves the liquid outlet pipe mode, and a dynamic seal is arranged above the liquid outlet pipe. There is gas between the dynamic seal and the bottom plate, so that thermal isolation of the high-temperature medium is realized, and no high-temperature molten salt directly conducts heat to the bottom plate and the bracket of the pump, so as to ensure that the temperature of the shaft has a reasonable temperature drop gradient from the high-temperature end at the bottom plate to the installation bearing, thereby avoiding the stress deformation of the shaft caused by the sudden drop of the shaft temperature in the traditional cooling method; the liquid part of the pump rotor is supported by a sliding bearing, and self-flushing is adopted; the liquid outlet pipe of the pump is provided with an expansion joint to meet the needs of thermal expansion and contraction, the liquid depth of the pump can reach 18m, and the temperature of the conveying medium can reach 560°C, so it is suitable for conveying high-temperature molten salt medium, and is a special pump for high-temperature molten salt (nitrate) circulation system or molten salt conveying.
