Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centrifugal compressors, in particular to an axial balancing device for a centrifugal compressor. Background Art

[0002] A centrifugal compressor is a rotary machine. Under the action of a high-speed rotating impeller, the medium gas obtains velocity energy and pressure energy, and then the velocity energy is further converted into pressure energy through a diffuser to increase the gas pressure. In the actual working process, the rotation speed of the main shaft of the centrifugal compressor is high, and both sides of the impeller are filled with medium gas with a certain pressure, but the pressure distribution is uneven. This pressure difference will cause an axial force to be generated on the centrifugal compressor.

[0003] Under the action of the axial force, it is difficult for the compressor to maintain a normal working state, and in severe cases, it will lead to friction and collision between the rotor components and the stator components. At present, two methods are mostly used to balance the axial force: arranging the impellers in an opposed manner and setting a balance disk. Limited by factors such as structure and cost, the impellers of some centrifugal compressors cannot be arranged in an opposed manner. The balance disk device of the existing magnetic levitation centrifugal compressor has a complex structure and is inconvenient for maintenance, increasing the failure risk of the compressor.
