Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to centrifugal fan technical field, concretely relates to a centrifugal fan of adjustable air volume convenient to dismount. BACKGROUND

[0002] Centrifugal fan is an indispensable key equipment in petrochemical industry, and is widely used in gas delivery, oxygen supply and waste gas discharge process links. It converts gas kinetic energy into pressure energy through high-speed rotating impeller, so as to realize efficient delivery and treatment of gas. However, with the increasing requirement of energy saving and equipment maintenance efficiency in petrochemical industry, the limitations of traditional centrifugal fan in design and application gradually appear, mainly in the following two aspects:

[0003] The traditional centrifugal fan usually adopts fixed air volume design, when the production device load decreases, the fan still runs at constant power, which leads to that the actual output air volume is far more than the demand, causing serious energy waste. Although some fans try to adjust the air volume through frequency conversion motor or baffle, but such method has problems such as response lag, low adjustment precision, etc., it is difficult to realize real-time accurate control, and cannot meet the adaptability demand of dynamic load change in petrochemical production.

[0004] The impeller maintenance of the existing centrifugal fan needs to dismount the inlet flange, outlet flange or cut part of the volute structure of the fan, which not only consumes time and effort, but also easily causes damage to the flange sealing element, increases the maintenance cost. In addition, frequent dismounting may cause the equipment assembly precision to decrease, affecting the stability and safety of long-term operation of the fan.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the industry urgently needs a centrifugal fan with high efficient air volume adjustment capacity and convenient maintenance structure, to reduce energy consumption, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, and adapt to the development trend of high efficiency and intelligentization of petrochemical production.

[0026] The leak-proof O-ring between the volute rear cover and the fan volute effectively seals the gas passage, eliminates the risk of gas leakage caused by dismounting and maintenance, and ensures the safety of the equipment operating environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
