Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of centrifugal compressor maintenance equipment, in particular to a tool for scraping, adjusting and detecting the sealing gap of a mouth ring. Background Art
[0002] Currently, centrifugal compressors, as mechanical equipment for gas compression and transportation, are widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and metallurgy. As the core equipment of the equipment, their high efficiency, long-term, and stable operation determine the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Therefore, the quality standards and requirements for unit installation and maintenance are higher, aiming to lay the foundation for the long-term efficient and stable operation of the compressor. A key step in the maintenance process is the precise measurement and adjustment of the gaps between the gas seals at all levels of the compressor. Only after passing the inspection and acceptance can the cover be removed and the next maintenance step can be carried out. Whether the gaps are uniform and qualified is particularly important. Due to the structural characteristics of the vertically split centrifugal compressor, the outer shell and the end cover are axially assembled, and the internal stator component is a horizontally split and assembled whole. To measure the air seal clearance at each level between the rotor and the internal stator, the internal stator must be pulled out from the inside of the outer shell together with the rotor before operation can be performed. The air seal clearance measurement method commonly used on maintenance sites at present is to directly place the rotor on the lower support cylinder, arrange tape in the circumferential direction of the air seal teeth at each level, buckle the upper support cylinder tightly and then remove the upper support cylinder, and obtain the air seal clearance at each level by measuring the thickness of the tape indentation. Although this method is simple to operate, since the rotor is not placed in the working position and is inevitably eccentric with the center of the support cylinder, it is bound to cause distortion of the measured data and mislead the correct adjustment and scraping of the air seal clearance. In the actual operation process, there are often problems such as uneven gap adjustment and excessive gap, which result in the situation that the machine is scratched after reinstallation or even rubbed when started and cannot operate normally, forcing it to be returned for repair, affecting the maintenance quality and construction period and even excessive spare parts consumption.
