Detailed Implementation
[0027] The preferred embodiments of this utility model are given below with reference to the accompanying drawings to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model in detail.
[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. (See image below.) Figure 1-2 As shown: This utility model proposes a high-flow, high-efficiency circulating water pump for a power plant environmental modernization project, comprising a pump body 7. The pump body 7 is a radially split double-volute casing with centerline support. Both the inlet and outlet of the pump body 7 are vertically upward. The driving side of the pump body 7 is connected to a driving side pump cover 5, and the non-driving side of the pump body 7 is connected to a non-driving side pump cover 16. The pump shaft 1 passes through the driving side pump cover 5 and the non-driving side pump cover 16 and is disposed inside the pump body 7. A double-suction impeller 12 is connected to the middle of the pump shaft 1 inside the pump body 7. The double-suction impeller 12 is mounted on the pump shaft 1 in a sliding manner and is fixedly connected to the pump shaft 1 by a shaft base and impeller nut 15. The double-suction impeller 12 can bear the main axial force during the operation of the pump shaft 1.
[0029] In this invention, the pump shaft 1 has a drive-side bearing housing 2 and a non-drive-side bearing housing 17 at both ends. The drive-side bearing housing 2 includes a radial bearing 3, and the non-drive-side bearing housing 17 includes a thrust bearing 18. The radial bearing 3 is a deep groove ball bearing, which has point contact with the track, resulting in a low coefficient of friction suitable for high-speed and stable pump operation. The thrust bearing 18 uses a structure of two back-to-back angular contact ball bearings. The staggered arrangement of the blades on both sides of the double-suction impeller 12 prevents pressure pulsation. The double-suction impeller 12 bears the main axial force, while the thrust bearing 18 bears the residual axial force, thereby enhancing the pump's stability.
[0030] In this invention, the drive-side pump cover 5 and the double-suction impeller 12 are respectively provided with a first housing sealing ring 10 and a first impeller sealing ring 11 at their mating points. The non-drive-side pump cover 16 and the double-suction impeller 12 are respectively provided with a second housing sealing ring 13 and a second impeller sealing ring 14 at their mating points, which can achieve the function of throttling and pressure reduction. The first housing sealing ring 10 and the second housing sealing ring 13, as well as the first impeller sealing ring 11 and the second impeller sealing ring 14, are heat-treated to form different surface hardnesses for the friction pairs, making the pump safer and more stable during operation. The pump body 7 and the drive-side pump cover 5 and the non-drive-side pump cover 16 have threaded holes circumferentially arranged on their connecting surfaces. The connecting surfaces of the drive-side pump cover 5 and the non-drive-side pump cover 16 with the pump body 7 have through holes that match the threaded holes on the pump body 7. The pump body 7, the drive-side pump cover 5, and the non-drive-side pump cover 16 are connected together by studs and nuts through the threaded holes and through holes. In this invention, a graphite stainless steel spiral wound gasket 6 is provided at the connection between the pump body 7, the drive-side pump cover 5, and the non-drive-side pump cover 16 for sealing. The graphite stainless steel spiral wound gasket 6 can effectively prevent leakage from the sealing surfaces of the pump body 7, the drive-side pump cover 5, and the non-drive-side pump cover 16, and avoid the leakage risk caused by the easy failure of O-ring seals commonly used in the current technology.
[0031] To facilitate disassembly of the drive-side pump cover 5 and the non-drive-side pump cover 16 during maintenance, set screw holes are provided on both. A throat bushing 8 is provided between the pump shaft 1 and the drive-side pump cover 5 and the non-drive-side pump cover 16, which serves a throttling function. To seal the entire pump and ensure its sealing performance, a mechanical seal 4 is provided at the contact point between the pump shaft 1 and the drive-side pump cover 5 and the non-drive-side pump cover 16.
[0032] The drive-side bearing housing 2 and the non-drive-side bearing housing 17 are equipped with oil cups 21. Sufficient lubricating oil is added to the oil cups 21 in a single injection. An oil slinger ring 19 is installed on the shaft 1. When the pump shaft 1 rotates, the drive-side bearing housing 2 and the non-drive-side bearing housing 17 drive the oil slinger ring 19 to throw oil, achieving self-lubrication of the bearing housings. The oil cups 21 in this invention can automatically replenish oil to the bearing housings according to their own oil level, thus enabling automatic oil replenishment and lubrication of the drive-side bearing housing 2 and the non-drive-side bearing housing 17, ensuring the pump's long-term normal operation.
[0033] The pump body 7, drive-side pump cover 5, and non-drive-side pump cover 16 of this utility model are made of ZG270-500 material; the double-suction impeller 12 is made of ZG1Cr13Ni material; the first housing sealing ring 10 and the second housing sealing ring 13 are made of 1Cr13MoS material; the first impeller sealing ring 11 and the second impeller sealing ring 14 are made of 3Cr13 material; the pump shaft 1 is made of 40CrVA material; and the drive-side bearing body 2 and the non-drive-side bearing body 17 are made of ZG230-450 material. These features enhance the pump's corrosion resistance and ensure its service life. The pump body 7, drive-side pump cover 5, non-drive-side pump cover 16, and double-suction impeller 12, after structural optimization, are all integrally cast using precision casting technology. This results in high dimensional accuracy and a high degree of surface finish within the flow channels, improving the pump's working efficiency and ensuring the performance and usage requirements of the user.
[0034] The mechanical seal 4 in this invention employs a self-circulating flushing method. This self-circulating flushing uses the medium within the sealing cavity to prevent leakage of the pumped medium and potential hazards. The mechanical seal 4 features a self-circulating flushing structure where the flushing fluid is supplied through a flushing pipeline. The flushing pipeline and the mechanical seal 4 are connected via a union with sealing threads. The flushing pipeline is equipped with a magnetic filter, heat exchanger, shut-off valve, and thermometer to ensure the cleanliness and cooling of the medium and to facilitate switching of the magnetic filter. Additionally, a thermometer is installed on the flushing pipeline for on-site monitoring of the flushing fluid temperature. The pump body 7 in this invention uses a flange to connect to the drain pipeline at its bottom. Two gate valves are installed in series on the drain pipeline. During normal operation, the gate valves are closed. When the pump needs maintenance and liquid needs to be drained from the pump body 7, the two closed gate valves can be opened to completely drain the liquid from the pump body 7.
[0035] This utility model provides a high-flow, high-efficiency circulating water pump for a power plant environmental modernization project, the working principle of which is as follows:
[0036] The circulating water pump provided by this utility model is a radially split horizontal single-stage double-suction double-volute centrifugal pump. The pump's drive side is directly connected to the motor via a flexible diaphragm coupling. The pump and motor are assembled on the same base. During operation, the deaerator tank pipeline of the device is connected to the pump inlet via an inlet flange. Circulating water enters the pump body 7 from the inlet. The motor drives the pump shaft 1 to rotate at high speed. The pump shaft 1 drives the double-suction impeller 12 in the middle to rotate at high speed, which pressurizes the circulating water entering the pump body 7 and discharges it from the outlet of the pump body 7. The water then enters the steam drum through the feed water pipeline, and is then heated by the waste heat boiler to generate steam. The steam enters the accumulator through the steam pipeline, and then the steam drives the turbine to drive the generator to generate electricity, thus achieving the purpose of waste heat recovery.
[0037] This utility model provides a high-flow, high-efficiency circulating water pump for power plant environmental modernization projects. It operates at high speed and stability, has high working efficiency, low vibration, good sealing effect, strong corrosion and wear resistance, and long service life, ensuring the long-term use and continuous operation of the equipment. It also provides reliable protection for waste heat boiler devices and can be widely used in forced circulation hot water waste heat boiler projects.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
