Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of centrifugal compressor maintenance equipment, and particularly relates to a tooling for scraping, adjusting and detecting the seal clearance of the orifice ring. Background Art

[0002] At present, as a mechanical equipment for gas compression and transportation, centrifugal compressors are widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and metallurgy. As the core equipment of the device, its efficient, long-term, stable and safe operation determines the long-term stable operation of the device. Therefore, the installation and maintenance quality standards and requirements for the unit will be higher, aiming to lay a foundation for the long-term efficient and stable operation of the compressor. During the maintenance process, a key process is to accurately measure and adjust the gas seal clearance of each stage of the compressor. Only after passing the acceptance can the cover be closed for the next maintenance process. Whether the clearance is 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 bolted together, and the internal stator components are a whole horizontally split and bolted together. To measure the gas seal clearance between the rotor and the internal stator at each stage, the internal stator needs to be withdrawn together with the rotor from the inside of the outer shell before operation. Currently, the commonly used method for measuring the gas seal clearance at the maintenance site is to directly place the rotor on the lower bearing cylinder, arrange adhesive tapes in the circumferential direction of the gas seal teeth at each stage, fasten the upper bearing cylinder and then remove it. The gas seal clearance at each stage is obtained by measuring the thickness of the pressed marks on the adhesive tapes. Although this method is easy to operate, since the rotor is not placed in the working position and there will inevitably be eccentricity with the center of the bearing cylinder, the measured data is bound to be distorted, which will mislead the correct adjustment and scraping of the gas seal clearance. In the actual operation process, problems such as uneven clearance adjustment and clearance exceeding the standard often occur, resulting in a situation where the rotor is scratched during the reinstallation or even rubbing occurs during startup, making it impossible to operate normally and forcing rework, affecting the maintenance quality, construction period and even excessive consumption of spare parts.
