Influence of Seal Leakage of Centrifugal Compressor on Compressor Performance

Influence of Seal Leakage of Centrifugal Compressor on Compressor Performance
Jan 04, 2023
Author: DEAR AST

The leakage at the wheel cover seal and interstage seal belongs to internal leakage. Serious internal leakage will increase the energy loss of the compressor, reduce the stage efficiency and compressor efficiency, and reduce the air displacement. However, the influence mechanism of the two is also different: the leakage of the wheel cover seal is to make the compressed gas return to the impeller, and then conduct the second stage compression, which mainly increases the total energy consumption of the stage; The leakage of interstage seal is interstage gas channeling, which will increase the low pressure stage ratio and decrease the high pressure stage ratio.

Although the serious leakage of the balance plate seal has little impact on the performance of the compressor, it has a great impact on the safe operation of the centrifugal compressor.

The leakage of shaft seal belongs to external leakage. External leakage refers to the leakage of gas from the seal to the outside of the casing. It goes without saying that serious leakage will directly reduce the discharge of the compressor.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
