Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide centrifugal compressors, and particularly to a carbon dioxide centrifugal compressor seal gas discharge system. Background Art

[0002] Carbon dioxide centrifugal compressors are essential equipment in nitrogen fertilizer plants. The operating environment of the equipment usually requires fire and explosion prevention, and the occurrence of ignition points is prohibited. The existing carbon dioxide centrifugal compressor seal gas discharge system includes the discharge of the primary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders of the compressor, the discharge of the secondary seal leakage gas, and the discharge of the tertiary seal leakage gas.

[0003] However, during its use, due to the flow of the primary leakage gas in the high-pressure cylinder to the low-pressure cylinder, a large amount of gas enters the low-pressure cylinder, resulting in a large amount of leakage gas in the low-pressure cylinder. The excessive pressure of the tertiary seal leakage gas causes the oil fume in the bearing box to be carried out, which not only pollutes the environment but also poses a fire hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a carbon dioxide centrifugal compressor seal gas discharge system.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A carbon dioxide centrifugal compressor seal gas discharge system includes a compressor high-pressure cylinder and a compressor low-pressure cylinder. The compressor low-pressure cylinder is rotationally connected to a compressor first stage and a compressor second stage; the compressor high-pressure cylinder is rotationally connected to a compressor third stage and a compressor fourth stage. The compressor first stage is sequentially connected with a flange A1, a flange A2, and a flange A3; the compressor second stage is sequentially connected with a flange B3, a flange B2, and a flange B1; the compressor third stage is sequentially connected with a flange A4, a flange A5, and a flange A6, and the compressor fourth stage is sequentially connected with a flange B6, a flange B5, and a flange B4. The flange A3 and the flange B3 of the compressor low-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the primary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder; the flange A2 and the flange B2 of the low-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the secondary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder, and the flange A1 and the flange B1 of the low-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the tertiary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder; the flange A6 and the flange B6 of the high-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the primary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure cylinder, the flange A5 and the flange B5 of the high-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the secondary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure cylinder, and the flange A4 and the flange B4 of the high-pressure cylinder are connected and used as the discharge pipeline for the tertiary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure cylinder; the discharge pipeline for the primary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder and the discharge pipeline for the primary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure cylinder send the seal leakage gas back to the inlet of the compressor first stage. The discharge pipeline for the secondary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder and the discharge pipeline for the secondary seal leakage gas of the high-pressure cylinder are connected and send the seal leakage gas back to the inlet of the compressor first stage through an ejector. The discharge pipelines for the tertiary seal leakage gas of the low-pressure cylinder and the high-pressure cylinder are vented.

[0006] As a further preference of the present invention, the inlet of the third stage of the compressor and the inlet of the fourth stage of the compressor are connected by a balance pipe. By providing the balance pipe, the inlet pressure of the fourth stage of the compressor is reduced, and the unilateral force is reduced.

[0007] As a further preference of the present invention, the low-pressure cylinder of the compressor is rotationally connected to the first stage and the second stage of the compressor through bearings, and the high-pressure cylinder of the compressor is rotationally connected to the third stage and the fourth stage of the compressor through bearings. A seal is provided at the bearing connection, and an isolation gas is used as a gas seal between the seal and the bearing to prevent process gas from being contaminated by bearing lubricating oil.

[0008] As a further preference of the present invention, the hot gas at the outlet of the first stage of the compressor is supplied to the ejector after the leakage gas discharge pipelines of the secondary seals of the low-pressure cylinder and the high-pressure cylinder are connected.

[0009] As a further preference of the present invention, the hot gas at the outlet of the second stage of the compressor is supplied and refluxed to the inlet of the third stage of the compressor, and the hot gas at the outlet of the third stage of the compressor is supplied and refluxed to the inlet of the fourth stage of the compressor.

[0010] The above hot gas prevents carbon dioxide from forming dry ice during throttling and pressure reduction, blocking the pipeline.

[0011] As a further preference of the present invention, valves are provided at the bottoms of the first stage, the second stage, the third stage and the fourth stage of the compressor. Through the valve setting, condensate drainage is carried out to drain the inner cavity of the compressor completely, avoiding blockage.

[0012] As a further preference of the present invention, the leakage gas discharge pipelines of the tertiary seals of the low-pressure cylinder and the high-pressure cylinder are vented at a high position to avoid pipeline blockage.

[0013] Technical effects and advantages of the invention:

[0014] Through the setting that the primary leakage gas of the high and low-pressure cylinders returns to the inlet of the first stage, the secondary leakage gas is pushed to the inlet of the first stage by the ejector after being balanced between the high and low-pressure cylinders, and the high points of the tertiary seal leakage gas discharge pipelines are vented. While the amount of gas entering the secondary stage is reduced, the pressure of the low-pressure cylinder is reduced, avoiding the problem of a large amount of oil fume spraying out of the bearing box due to the too high discharge pressure of the low-pressure cylinder, resulting in environmental pollution and waste of resources. This makes the system design more perfect, improves the environmental quality and saves resources; at the same time, the fire hazard is solved, providing a more stable operation guarantee for users.

The first-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 1 of the low-pressure cylinder and the first-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 5 of the high-pressure cylinder send the seal leakage gas back to the inlet of the first-stage compressor 9. The second-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 2 of the low-pressure cylinder and the second-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 3 of the high-pressure cylinder are connected and the seal leakage gas is sent back to the inlet of the first-stage compressor 9 through an ejector 7. The third-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 4 of the low-pressure cylinder and the third-stage seal leakage gas discharge pipeline 6 of the high-pressure cylinder are vented.

[0022] As Figure 1 and 4 shown, in the invention embodiment, the inlets of the third-stage compressor 12 and the fourth-stage compressor 13 are connected with a balance pipe 14.
