Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration compressors, and in particular to a three-stage refrigeration compressor. Background Art

[0002] A single-stage screw compressor is a positive displacement compressor, which consists of a cylindrical screw and two symmetrically arranged planar star wheels forming a meshing pair, installed in the casing. The air enters the air compressor through the air inlet and is directly compressed once by the screw rotor, directly increasing from the suction pressure to the exhaust pressure. In the single-stage compression process, a closed compression chamber is formed between the screw rotor and the casing. As the screw rotates, the volume of the compression chamber gradually decreases, thereby achieving gas compression. A two-stage screw compressor is a screw compressor that uses two-stage compression. Its working principle is that through the rotation of a pair of intermeshing screw rotors in the casing, the gas between the rotor teeth produces a periodic volume change, thereby achieving gas suction, compression and discharge. In the first stage of compression, the gas is initially compressed; in the second stage of compression, the gas after initial compression is further compressed to reach the required pressure.

[0003] The working principle of a centrifugal compressor is to convert mechanical energy into gas pressure energy through the impeller of the centrifugal compressor. When the gas flows through the impeller of the centrifugal compressor, the high-speed rotating impeller exerts centrifugal force on the gas, which increases the gas pressure and speed. Subsequently, when the gas flows through the diffuser channel, the flow channel cross-section gradually increases, the gas flow rate decreases, the flow rate of the gas molecules in front decreases, and the gas molecules behind continue to flow forward, so that most of the kinetic energy of the gas is converted into static pressure energy, which plays a role in further pressurization.

[0004] However, the pressure ratio of the single-stage compressor and the two-stage compressor in the prior art still cannot meet the use needs of the ultra-low temperature and high pressure ratio refrigeration field. Combining the centrifugal compressor with the two-stage compressor can improve the pressure ratio. Therefore, the present invention proposes a refrigeration three-stage compressor to solve the shortcomings of the prior art. Summary of the invention
