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.

Temperature difference is the power of heat transfer. As long as there is temperature difference between two materials, they will carry out the heat or cold transfer spontaneously. The heat is always transferred from the fluid with higher temperature to the lower temperature fluid. Although the heat transfer process of various heat exchangers is not identical, the heat transfer law is basically the same. The following is an example of the most widely used dividing wall heat exchanger: heat is transferred from hot fluid to cold fluid through the wall and flows in the opposite direction. The whole heat transfer process is divided into three stages. In the first stage, convection heat transfer: the heat flow body transmits heat to the wall surface. This process not only has heat transfer caused by the relative displacement of each part of the fluid, but also has heat conduction in the fluid, which is the comprehensive function of convection and heat conduction. In the second
