Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a centrifugal compressor impeller and a method for calculating its size. Background Art
[0002] As an important fluid machinery, CO2 centrifugal compressor has been widely used in supercritical CO2 power generation, compressed CO2 energy storage and other fields. Its main function is to perform work on CO2 gas through high-speed rotating impellers, increasing the pressure and temperature of the gas, thereby meeting the needs of different process flows. However, in actual operation, due to the high outlet pressure of the working fluid (≥20MPa), the axial force on the back of the centrifugal impeller is greater than that on the front. Under extreme working conditions, the axial force on the centrifugal impeller exceeds 30kN, and the direction of the axial force points to the direction of loosening of the impeller and the rotating shaft. Such a huge axial force is borne entirely by the fastening bolts, which brings huge challenges to the safe operation of the CO2 centrifugal compressor.
[0003] At present, although certain progress has been made in the design and manufacturing of centrifugal compressors, there is still a lack of effective solutions to the problem of excessive axial force on the impeller of CO2 centrifugal compressors. The existing centrifugal compressor impeller structure design is usually not specifically optimized for axial force, resulting in serious impact on the connection reliability between the impeller and the rotating shaft under high-pressure conditions, and the fastening bolts are prone to fatigue failure and other problems, which in turn affects the normal operation of the entire compressor and may even cause serious safety accidents.
[0004] Furthermore, with the expansion of CO2 centrifugal compressor applications in more fields and the increasing demands for compressor performance and safety, effectively improving the axial stress on the impeller has become a pressing technical challenge. This not only impacts the compressor's operating efficiency and service life, but also directly affects the equipment's safety and reliability. Therefore, developing a back structure and sizing method that can effectively improve the axial stress on the CO2 centrifugal compressor impeller has important practical significance and broad application prospects.
