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.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
