[0024] Specific embodiment 1: A high-parameter multi-stage centrifugal steam compressor for industrial steam supply, comprising a 1# partition 1, a 2# partition 2, a 3# partition 3, a 4# partition 4, a 5# partition 5, a 6# partition 6, a casing 7, a rotor 10, a front bearing box 11, a rear bearing box 12, a front support bearing 13, a rear support bearing 14 and a base frame 18;

[0025] The front bearing box 11, the casing 7 and the rear bearing box 12 are arranged on the base frame 18 in sequence from front to back. The rotor 10 is arranged in the casing 7. The front end of the rotor 10 is connected to the front bearing box 11 through the front support bearing 13, and the rear end of the rotor 10 is connected to the rear bearing box 12 through the rear support bearing 14. The 1# partition 1, 2# partition 2, 3# partition 3, 4# partition 4, 5# partition 5 and 6# partition 6 are fixed on the inner wall of the casing 7 in sequence from front to back. A front steam seal 8 is provided between the rotor 10 and the front end of the casing 7, and a rear steam seal 9 is provided between the rotor 10 and the rear end of the casing 7. Five impellers are fixed on the rotor 10. The rotor 10 passes through the 1# partition plate 1, 2# partition plate 2, 3# partition plate 3, 4# partition plate 4, 5# partition plate 5 and 6# partition plate 6. Each impeller is arranged between two adjacent elements among the 1# partition plate 1, 2# partition plate 2, 3# partition plate 3, 4# partition plate 4, 5# partition plate 5 and 6# partition plate 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, five impellers are mounted on the rotor to form the first to fifth stage impellers. The first to fifth stage impellers, spacer sleeves, and balance discs are sequentially shrink-fitted onto the main shaft and secured with locknuts. The thrust disc is mounted on the end of the main shaft near the thrust bearing and secured with a thrust disc key and locknut. Together, these components form the rotor.

[0027] The 1# partition, 2# partition, 3# partition, 4# partition, 5# partition and 6# partition are all fitted with stoppers on the casing, and are fixed to the casing by anti-rotation screws to prevent the 1# partition, 2# partition, 3# partition, 4# partition, 5# partition and 6# partition from turning over;

[0028] The gradually contracting flow passage formed between any two elements of the 1# partition, 2# partition, 3# partition, 4# partition, 5# partition and 6# partition constitutes a vaneless diffuser with a streamlined structure;

[0029] That is, the compressor adopts a single-shaft 5-stage centrifugal compression scheme, without intercooling, and is arranged downstream. The working medium is water vapor, the outlet steam flow rate is 60t / h, the rated operating steam inlet pressure is 0.700MPa, the inlet steam temperature is 215℃, the rated outlet pressure is 1.512MPa, and the rated speed is 11680rpm; the compressor operating speed range is 9260rpm-12030rpm, and the unit adopts a variable speed adjustment method. When the inlet pressure fluctuates within the range of 0.667MPa-1.000MPa, the outlet pressure is maintained at 1.5MPa, and the highest speed corresponds to the lowest inlet pressure. In short, the number of stages of the centrifugal steam compressor can be increased to 5, which effectively improves the pressure ratio of the centrifugal steam compressor and can increase the superheated steam at the inlet of 0.7MPa to 1.5MPa, greatly increasing the steam pressure and operating safely and stably at higher temperatures. At the same time, it can increase the temperature rise of the centrifugal steam compressor and can increase the inlet 215℃ steam to 330℃, greatly increasing the steam temperature.

[0030] The casing, front steam seal and rear steam seal together constitute the stator components;

[0031] The front bearing box and the rear bearing box are both fixed to the base frame;

[0032] The bearing box and casing adopt a split design, and the bearing box is independently installed on the base frame. This significantly reduces the impact of casing deformation on the bearing elevation from the installation state to the maximum temperature operation state, making the bearing load change and the bearing specific pressure almost unchanged, making the compressor shaft system more stable and the operation safer;

[0033] The front support bearing and the rear support bearing are respectively located in the front bearing box and the rear bearing box and are used to support the rotor.

[0037] In this embodiment, instrument air of about 0.7 MPa is introduced through the air duct to play an isolation role, preventing high-temperature steam leaking from the shaft end of the casing from leaking into the bearing box, causing the bearing temperature to rise sharply and deteriorating the quality of the lubricating oil, affecting the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0038] Other implementations are the same as the second specific implementation.

[0039] Specific embodiment 4: A high-parameter multi-stage centrifugal steam compressor for industrial steam supply, the rear end of the rotor 10 is connected to the rear bearing box 12 through a thrust bearing 15, and the rotor 10 expands toward the steam inlet side of the steam compressor with the thrust bearing 15 as the dead point.

[0043] In this embodiment, the casing is supported by four brackets fixed to a skid-mounted base frame. The casing expands toward the steam inlet side with the exhaust side bracket as the dead point.

[0044] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0045] Specific embodiment 6: A high-parameter multi-stage centrifugal steam compressor for industrial steam supply, wherein the impeller tip clearance is zero.

[0046] In this embodiment, a multi-stage closed impeller span-internal connection structure design is adopted, and the blade tip clearance is 0, which reduces inter-stage leakage loss and improves the efficiency of each stage. Compared with the steam compressor with a gear box connection structure, the structure is simpler.

[0047] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0048] Specific embodiment seven: A high-parameter multi-stage centrifugal steam compressor for industrial steam supply, a center key 20 is provided at the middle of the rear end of the front bearing box 11 and the middle of the front end of the rear bearing box 12, and the front bearing box 11 and the rear bearing box 12 are respectively connected to the casing 7 through a center key 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, the front bearing box and the rear bearing box are respectively connected to the casing via a central key, and the three do not form a rigid connection, so the connection will not break due to violent movement of the compressor.

[0050] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0051] Specific embodiment eight: A high-parameter multi-stage centrifugal steam compressor for industrial steam supply, with an "I"-shaped balance drum 24 provided at the outlet of the casing 7.

[0052] In this embodiment, an I-shaped balancing drum is provided at the outlet of the steam compressor, and the pressure behind the balancing drum is connected to the inlet of the steam compressor. During the variable operating conditions, the axial thrust can be self-balanced in all operating conditions.

[0053] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0055] In this embodiment, drain holes are provided at the sealing area and the low point of the casing to ensure that liquid is discharged from the cylinder when the machine is started or stopped.

[0056] Other implementations are the same as the first specific implementation.

[0058] In this embodiment, a sealing key is designed at the center dividing surface of the casing, which is combined with sealing grease to effectively reduce the amount of steam leakage at the center dividing surface and improve the efficiency of the compressor.

[0059] Other implementations are the same as the ninth implementation.

[0064] 5. The utility model can ensure that the outlet pressure is maintained at the rated pressure by adjusting the compressor speed under the volume flow fluctuation of 80%-103%.

[0065] 6. The multi-stage closed impeller span inner connection structure design is adopted, and the blade tip clearance is 0, which reduces the inter-stage leakage loss and improves the efficiency of each stage.

[0066] 7. Use bladeless diffuser solution to simplify the structure, see Figure 1 ;

[0067] 8. The bearing box and casing are designed to be split, with the bearing box independently mounted on the base frame.

[0068] 9. The oil retaining ring of the bearing box close to the casing is an airtight oil retaining ring. The instrument air of about 0.7Mpa is introduced through the pipe on the top of the oil retaining ring to play an isolation role, preventing the high-temperature steam leaking from the shaft end of the casing from leaking into the bearing box, causing the bearing temperature to rise sharply and deteriorating the quality of the lubricating oil, affecting the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0074] 15. Refer to the slide pin system diagram of the unit (see Figure 4The front and rear bearing boxes are fixed to the skid-mounted base frame. A center key is installed between the bearing box and the casing. The thrust bearing is placed in the rear bearing box.
