Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a submerged pump integrally configured by a pump and a motor to drive the pump, and soaked in a reserved target fluid, for use in pumping up the target fluid.
  • a submerged pump in which a pump, such as a centrifugal pump, and a motor for driving the pump are integrated into one unit.
  • a pump such as a centrifugal pump
  • a motor for driving the pump are integrated into one unit.
  • Such a submerged pump is used in a state that it is entirely immersed in the target fluid to be pumped by the pump itself.
  • the submerged pump is therefore so configured so as to allow entry of the target fluid into regions around a stator and a rotor of the motor and around bearings for shafts of the motor and the pump in order to utilize the target fluid for cooling, lubrication, or the like.
  • a target fluid discharged by a pump is conveyed to a bearing located at an upper end of a shaft to lubricate the bearing.
  • a pump is described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. Hei 5-26949 (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 6-80896).
  • This invention provides a submerged pump in which a bearing is advantageously protected against insufficient lubrication.
  • a submerged pump according to the present invention comprises a lead-in duct through which a target fluid discharged from a pump is partially directed to flow through a bearing supporting a shaft of a motor almost at an upper end of the shaft and then conveyed into a housing in which the motor is installed, and a throttle structure installed downstream from the bearing in the lead-in duct.
  • an entrance of a reflux channel for returning, to a pump unit, the target fluid existing in the housing in which the motor is installed is disposed at a place situated higher than the bearing located near the upper end of the motor shaft.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows a configuration of a submerged pump 10 according to this embodiment.
  • the submerged pump 10 has a structure in which a pump unit 12 including a pump for boosting a pressure of a target fluid to be pumped up and a motor unit 14 for driving the pump are contained in a pot 16. An opening at the top of the pot 16 is covered by a head plate 18.
  • the target fluid is introduced from an intake pipe 20 into the pot 16, while gases are removed through a degassing pipe 22 to enable the pot 16 to fill with the target fluid.
  • the submerged pump 10 should be placed in the same vertical position as illustrated in Fig. 1 in actual use. In other words, the submerged pump 10 is placed so that the pump unit 12 will be located below the motor unit 14.
  • the pump unit 12 includes a multistage centrifugal pump in which a plurality of centrifugal pumps 26 are arranged on a common pump shaft 24.
  • a lower part of the multistage centrifugal pump, more specifically, a suction port of the centrifugal pump 26 on the first stage is attached to a suction pipe 28 which includes, in the inside thereof, a inducer 30 mounted to the pump shaft 24 and actuated with the pump shaft 24.
  • the motor unit 14 located above the pump unit 12 includes an electric motor 32 for driving the multiphase centrifugal pump and a housing cylinder 34 placed so as to enclose the motor 32.
  • the motor 32 comprises a motor shaft 36 shared as the pump shaft 24, a rotor 38 fixed to the motor shaft 36, and a stator 40 fixed on the housing cylinder 34.
  • the bottom of the housing cylinder 34 is joined to an attachment plate 42, and the pump unit 12 is also joined to the attachment plate 42 to be integral with the motor unit 14.
  • the top of the housing cylinder 34 is connected to a discharge manifold 44.
  • the housing cylinder 34, the attachment plate 42, and the discharge manifold 44 constitute a housing in which the motor 32 is installed.
  • the target fluid is pressurized in the pump unit 12.
  • the attachment plate 42 holds a bottom bearing 46 which is a rolling bearing rotatably supporting the motor shaft 36, and includes a bottom seal 48 for suppressing the flow of pressurized target fluid into the motor unit 14. Because a small gap is present between bottom seal 48 and the pump shaft 24, a small amount of the target fluid enters a housing chamber 49, which is a space formed in the housing of the pump unit 12. This small amount of target fluid flows through the bottom bearing 46 while lubricating the bottom bearing 46.
  • the discharge manifold 44 holds a top bearing 50 rotatably supporting the motor shaft 36 in the proximity of an upper end of the motor shaft 36.
  • a discharge port 54 communicating with a discharge hole 52 formed in the head plate 18.
  • the target fluid delivered from the multistage centrifugal pump is conveyed to the discharge port 54 through a discharge channel 56 running around components, such as, for example, the stator 40 of the motor unit 14, and then pumped to the outside.
  • the discharge manifold 44 comprises a lead-in duct 58 for diverting the target fluid from the discharge port 54 into the housing chamber 49.
  • the top bearing 50 is installed in the lead-in duct 58, and a top seal 60 is installed downstream from the top bearing 50.
  • An entrance 62a to a reflux channel 62 for returning the target fluid contained in the housing chamber 49 to the pump unit 12 is provided in the housing chamber 49, at a location higher than the top bearing 50, preferably at a topmost part of the housing chamber 49. Through the reflux channel 62, gases accumulated in the housing chamber 49 is collected and conveyed to the pump unit 12 together with the target fluid.
  • Fig. 2 shows a detailed configuration of the lead-in duct 58.
  • the lead-in duct 58 directs the target fluid from the discharge port 54 to the top bearing 50 which is a rolling bearing, preferably a ball bearing.
  • the target fluid flows downstream and passes through gaps between an inner race and a rolling element of the top bearing 50 and between an outer race, an inner race and the rolling element.
  • the target fluid passing through the top bearing 50 functions as a lubricant for the top bearing 50.
  • the target fluid flowing past the top bearing 50 reaches the top seal 60 which includes a small clearance 64 between the seal and the outside of the motor shaft 36.
  • the top seal 60 constitutes a throttle structure in which a flow path in the lead-in duct 58 is narrowed, wherein flow resistance in the lead-in duct 58 increases.
  • This throttle structure causes a pressure differential to develop across the clearance 64, with the result that the area around the top bearing 50 is maintained at a pressure close to the pressure raised by the multistage centrifugal pump, while the inside of the housing chamber 49 is maintained at a relatively lower pressure.
  • a flow rate of the target fluid passing through the lead-in duct 58 is restricted by the throttle structure, which suppresses any decrease in discharge from the submerged pump 10, in other words, any decrease in flow rate of the target fluid to be pumped.
  • each component of the throttle structure such as, for example, clearance and length, should be set a dimension that will ensure the capability of maintaining a pressure which can prevent, or significantly suppress, vaporization of the target fluid in the area around the bearing.
  • the shape of the flow path in the throttle structure may be, for example, crank-shaped rather than straight.
  • labyrinth structure 66 as shown in Fig. 3 may be formed in the seal 60 so as to alternately dispose narrow and broad gaps.
  • the submerged pump 10 may be preferably used as a pump for handling LNG which contains carbon monoxide.
  • LNG contains carbon monoxide
  • a gas carbon monoxide
  • the submerged pump 10 may be preferably used as a pump for handling LNG which contains carbon monoxide.
  • LNG contains carbon monoxide
  • a gas carbon monoxide appears at a lower temperature because the boiling point of carbon monoxide is lower than those of other constituents in the LNG, and lower than the boiling point of another LNG which contains no carbon monoxide.
  • the number of stages is not so limited, and may be changed as appropriate according to design requirements.
  • bearings other than the ball bearing may be used as the top and bottom bearings, and may be selected in consideration of other design requirements.
