Definitions

  • Compressors in particular centrifugal compressors
  • the invention relates to a compressor, in particular a centrifugal compressor.
  • water injection is used in raw gas compressors, where the water is injected between the compressor stages in order to reduce the outlet temperature of the medium between the individual stages in order to prevent the medium from polymerisation.
  • the limiting degree of vaporization of the liquid injected into the compressor gas stream is problematic. If the liquid is injected into a low velocity area of the compressor, breaking up or atomizing the liquid into very small droplets may not be achieved. Very small droplets are necessary to achieve a high degree of vaporization len, because the surface area of such a droplet is large in relation to the volume of the droplet and the droplet can so easily absorb heat and evaporate.
  • the object of the invention is to specify an improved compressor, in particular a radial compressor.
  • a compressor comprising a rotor which extends along an axis of rotation, a housing, the housing being arranged around the rotor, the housing having an axial inflow and downstream of the axial inflow a first compression stage and further downstream of the first Compression stage has a first radial outflow for a process fluid, the first radial outflow leading through the inner housing, furthermore an impeller, which is arranged on the rotor, with an injection device for injecting a liquid into the axial inflow, the process fluid to be compressed is first sucked in and the quantity of injected liquid depends on the temperature and relative humidity of the sucked-in medium.
  • a compression stage means the compression of a specific mass flow by means of one or more compressor impellers.
  • compressor stage or “compression stage” according to the invention is the compression taking place in an uninterrupted flow path in the compressor, without the compression to be compressed Mass flow or a partial flow thereof is derived from the compressor and possibly. is subjected to other process steps.
  • a mixture is used as the liquid.
  • a further improvement consists in using suitable mixing partners to produce a higher boiling point if this is beneficial to the compression process. Also, mixing could occur within the medium to be compressed if the enthalpy of mixing is negative and additional (mixing) cooling is to be achieved.
  • the aim of the invention is also to approach isothermal compression, which leads to high efficiency.
  • a liquid according to the invention such as e.g. B. Water or LPG
  • the volume flow of the flow can be reduced.
  • the speed and the flow losses decrease. In this way, evaporation can be used to make compressors more compact, without the negative consequences of compactness on the performance of the compressor.
  • injection in the spiral stage (last stage of a process stage) is particularly effective.
  • an injection device is also proposed in inlets and return stages.
  • the amount of liquid should be regulated to ensure an optimal condition close to saturation and to avoid liquid accumulation.
  • the amount of water is about 2 wt. -% . This reduces the total volume flow incl. Evaporated added water by about 8% which should reduce losses from a diffuser and coil by about 15%.
  • Either a gas in the liquid aggregate state can be injected or another medium such as e.g. B. Water, methanol or ethanol, or a mixture of several components.
  • the injected medium is selected so that its evaporation temperature is lower than the temperature at the impeller outlet of the subsequent compression stage without liquid injection, based on the final pressure there.
  • the evaporation temperature in the case of mixtures: the lowest-boiling component
  • the gas temperature at the point of injection can be lower than the gas temperature at the point of injection.
  • the injected medium is selected in such a way that the evaporation temperature is above the temperature of the compressed gas at the point of injection and below the temperature after the subsequent compressor stage, based on the case without liquid injection.
  • Active dosing of the amount of liquid improves liquid injection.
  • the amount of liquid is calculated using the temperature and the relative humidity of the sucked-in medium.
  • the dosing can then be done by switching nozzles on and off or via the pump speed or also via a by-pass control.
  • the dwell time with the injected liquid plays a decisive role in the effective humidification of the process fluid.
  • a minimum distance between an injection and an impeller inlet of 3 times the impeller inlet diameter is proposed in order to achieve an effective reduction in the compressor drive power by means of liquid injection.
  • the distance between the injection and the impeller inlet is essentially 10 times the impeller inlet diameter.
  • the relationship applies that the distance between the injection and the impeller inlet can be smaller, the finer the liquid droplets that are introduced.
  • a cascading of the injection in several units with a defined distance from one another is proposed.
  • the minimum distance of the last cascade should not be undershot.
  • the injection nozzles in the cascade can be offset from one another, viewed in the direction of flow, in order not to interfere with one another. In a cascaded arrangement, the quantity of liquid injected per position can be reduced.

  • the compressor 1 comprises a housing 9 in which the impeller 2 is placed.
  • a part of the housing 9 is designed as a volute housing. That is, the housing 9 has a NEN spiral housing part 10 with a spiral cavity 11 on.

  • the diffuser 12 opens into the spiral housing part 10 or into its cavity 11.
  • FIG. 1 an outlet diameter 13 of the impeller 2 is shown in FIG. 1 in the form of a double arrow.
  • the diffuser 12 has a plurality of diffuser vanes 14 . That is, diffuser 12 is a vaned diffuser.
