Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of compressor housing processing technology, specifically relating to a method for processing an integrally sealed horizontally split split compressor housing. Background Technology

[0002] The three compressor units (cracking gas compressor, propylene compressor, and ethylene compressor) are the "heart" of an ethylene plant. Previously, these units all employed large, horizontally split, centrifugal compressor housings with separate sealed areas. This traditional design frequently resulted in deformation and misalignment of the separate sealing areas during practical applications, leading to difficulties in dry gas seal assembly and passing hydrostatic tests. With the ongoing localization of large-scale ethylene compressor units, the new generation of ethylene compressor units has undergone a completely new structural design to meet the requirements of larger stator housings, lighter weight, high pressure resistance, and low-temperature operation. This new design utilizes an integrally sealed, horizontally split, centrifugal compressor housing to fundamentally solve these problems from the housing structure perspective.

[0003] Since the large ethylene compressor unit adopted a lightweight structural design with a horizontally split casing combined with an integral sealing area end cover for the first time, higher requirements were put forward for the processing scheme of the integral sealing horizontally split self-contained compressor casing and the control of casing deformation. The traditional processing scheme of horizontally split casing can no longer meet the needs of processing the integral sealing horizontally split self-contained compressor casing.

[0046] The method for machining the casing of an integrally sealed horizontally split split compressor disclosed in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0047] The integrally sealed horizontally split compressor housing differs significantly from the traditional horizontally split compressor housing in both mechanical and sealing structures. The manufacturing method for this integrally sealed horizontally split compressor housing is as follows:

[0048] 1. The outer panel of the integral sealed horizontal split compressor casing is thinner than that of the traditional horizontal split casing. The positioning platform of the partition plate inside the casing cavity is produced by removing material from the outer panel, which effectively achieves the lightweight design of the large casing.

[0049] 2. The end plates of the integrally sealed horizontally split split compressor casing have a large-diameter internal bore structure, and the maximum machining positioning size can reach φ1600. The diameter of the compressor is close to the size of the casing cavity, which increases the internal space of the cavity and helps to improve the performance of the compressor. This makes the compressor more adaptable to harsh operating conditions such as high pressure and low temperature, and meets the actual use needs.

[0050] 3. The upper and lower horizontal split-type compressor housing is sealed by a structure of closely spaced bolts to achieve the sealing of the housing split surfaces. The horizontal split surfaces are also sealed by a horizontal accuracy of 0.02mm and a roughness of Ra1.6.

[0051] 4. The casing of the integrally sealed horizontal split-type compressor is matched with the end caps of the integral sealing body at both ends by the dimensional accuracy of the inner hole of the end plate, and the axial sealing of the casing is achieved by the vertical accuracy of the inner end face of the end plate of 0.03mm and the roughness Ra1.6.

[0052] 5. The coaxiality of the inner holes at both ends of the casing of the integrally sealed horizontal split-type compressor can reach 0.02mm to ensure stable operation of the unit;

[0053] Traditional horizontally split housing machining methods are no longer suitable for machining integrally sealed horizontally split self-contained compressor housings. This new machining method for integrally sealed horizontally split self-contained compressor housings ensures machining accuracy from multiple aspects, including clamping and alignment, machining parameter control, machining stress removal, prevention of clamping deformation, and the application of special accessories for large CNC equipment. It can meet the technical requirements of actual production. Attached Figure Description

[0218] The processing method provided by this invention differs significantly from traditional horizontally split compressor housings in both mechanical and sealing structures. The processing method for this integrally sealed horizontally split compressor housing involves: the outer plate of the integrally sealed horizontally split compressor housing is thinner than that of traditional horizontally split housings; the positioning platform for the internal partition plate is generated by removing material from the outer plate, effectively achieving a lightweight design for large housings; and the end plates of the integrally sealed horizontally split compressor housing feature large-diameter internal bore structures, allowing for a maximum machining positioning size of φ1600. The diameter of the compressor casing is close to the internal cavity size, increasing the internal space and improving compressor performance. This allows the compressor to better adapt to harsh operating conditions such as high pressure and low temperature, meeting actual usage requirements. The upper and lower horizontal split-type compressor casing is sealed by closely spaced bolts, and the horizontal split surface is sealed with a horizontal accuracy of 0.02mm and a roughness of Ra1.6. The casing of the integrated seal horizontal split-type compressor is matched with the end caps of the integrated sealing body at both ends by the dimensional accuracy of the end plate inner hole, and the axial sealing of the casing is achieved by the vertical accuracy of the inner end face of the end plate of 0.03mm and a roughness of Ra1.6. The coaxiality of the inner holes at both ends of the integrated seal horizontal split-type compressor casing can reach 0.02mm, ensuring stable operation of the unit. The machining accuracy of the new integral sealed horizontal split-type split compressor housing machining process is ensured from multiple aspects, including clamping alignment, machining quantity control, machining stress removal, prevention of clamping deformation, and the application of special accessories for large CNC equipment, so as to meet the technical requirements of actual production.
