Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal pump with an axially insertable inner block into a radially undivided (pot) housing, which contains two mutually directed multi-stage sub-blocks to form two independent sub-pumps, the diameter of the sub-block on the drive side being smaller than the housing bore of the sub-block remote from the drive, and the largest outer diameter of the drive-side pump bearing is also smaller than the smallest diameter of the housing bore receiving the inner block.
  • a centrifugal pump of the type mentioned above is known from CH-A-637 185.
  • the inner block of the known construction which is inserted axially as a whole into the housing from one side, the two partial blocks are built up from the center towards the end . This means that the impellers can only be pushed and wedged onto the shaft, but cannot be shrunk on, since the back of the impeller on the non-drive part block, on which the hub area of the shrink fit is located, is no longer accessible for heating.
  • pumps of this type are to be used for high pressures - for example greater than 200 bar - and / or high speeds - for example greater than 300 rpm, then the impellers shrink on for reasons of strength and rotor dynamics practically an imperative.
  • the object of the invention is to design the known construction so that the use of impellers shrunk onto the shaft is possible.
  • this object is achieved in that the impellers mounted from the side remote from the drive are shrunk onto the shaft, for which purpose the shaft diameter between the sub-blocks is reduced by a step-shaped shoulder for the sub-block remote from the drive, and the ring-shaped shrink fit areas of the impellers of this sub-block are on the latter Suction side are located, further characterized in that on the circumference of the last stage stator of the drive-side sub-block alternating with this sub-block holding axial tie bolts in recesses bolts and nuts are arranged, which fix the drive-side sub-block and a center piece separating the two sub-pumps relative to each other.
  • the inner block so that it can be assembled in one direction from the drive end.
  • the reduction of the shaft diameter for the sub-block away from the drive makes it possible to increase the radial thickness of the hub on the inlet side of the impellers present in this sub-block, without necessarily changing the hydraulic characteristics - such as the impeller diameter and the specific speed or edge shape index.
  • the radial reinforcement makes it possible to move the area of the shrink fit to the inlet side of the impeller, so that accessibility for heating the shrink area is ensured.
  • the reduction of the shaft diameter is made possible, in particular in advantageous embodiments of the invention, in which the two sub-blocks are hydraulically identical, in that the drive power to be transmitted from the shaft to the sub-pump remote from the drive is only half of the total power.
  • the construction from one side requires that the tension bolts that hold the sub-blocks together are also "threaded" from the side remote from the drive; the problem of connecting the drive-side sub-block to the center piece is solved by the recessed screw bolts between the center piece and the last stage housing of the drive-side sub-block and the associated nuts, which are tightened from the outer circumference of the block.
  • the two sub-pumps - apart from the speed - are independent of each other, they can be connected in series to increase the delivery head with the same delivery rate or parallel to each other to increase the delivery rate with the same delivery rate.
  • one of the sub-pumps as a turbine to drive the other sub-pump when there is a corresponding supply of pressurized water.
  • an axially undivided housing 1 of a pump contains an inner block 2 with a left-handed partial block 3 and a right-handed partial block 4;
  • the impellers 7 and 8 of both sub-blocks 3 and 4 are shrunk onto the drive shaft 13, which is supported on both sides in bearings 14 and 15, respectively.
  • Both sub-blocks 3 and 4 form two separate sub-pumps I and II, which are independent of one another apart from the common drive shaft 13. Each of the sub-blocks 3 and 4 is therefore assigned a separate suction or pressure port 5 or 6 on the housing 1.
  • the shrink fit area 9 of the impellers 7 is located on the rear side thereof .
  • the shaft 13 has a step-shaped shoulder 40, against which a throttle bush 41 bears.
  • the hubs of the impellers 8 on the inlet side can be made radially thicker than the inlet-side hubs of the impellers 7 in order to achieve the same diameter D 3 in sub-block 4, which is one of the characteristics for the hydraulic design of the two Partial pumps I and II forms.
  • the hydraulic characteristic data for the pump according to FIG. 1 should be the same for both sub-blocks 3 and 4 or sub-pumps I and II; Therefore, the outer diameter D1 of the wheels 7 and 8 and their widths with corresponding steps for both sub-blocks 3 and 4 are the same for them.
  • the radially thicker hub areas of the impellers 8 allow the shrink fit area 10 to be provided on their inlet side.
  • connection from the last stage stator 12a of the sub-block 3 to the center piece 23 is made by means of separate screw bolts 16 and nuts 17, which are arranged on the circumference of the stage stator 12a alternately with the tension bolts 20 in recesses 28 and 30 (FIG. 4), as later is described in more detail.
  • the drive-remote bearing 15 is supported by a cover 24 from the housing 1, which is held by a type of bayonet lock 25 and is sealed with the aid of a flange ring 29 (DE-C 34 10 931).
  • the bearing 14 is carried by the inlet housing 26, which is centered in a bore 27 in the housing 1 and at the same time forms the drive-side cover of the housing 1.
  • Only schematically indicated mechanical seals 37 of conventional construction are arranged between the shaft 13 and the cover 24 or 26.
  • the pump is powered by a prime mover, not shown, e.g. an electric motor, which is connected to the pump shaft 13 by means of a coupling 31.
  • a prime mover not shown, e.g. an electric motor, which is connected to the pump shaft 13 by means of a coupling 31.
  • the hydraulic characteristic data of the partial pumps I and II are different from one another; therefore, the impellers 32 of the remote pump II have a diameter D3 different hub diameter D5. Similarly, their outer diameter D2 and their widths compared to those of the wheels 8 and 7 are changed.
  • the different hydraulic characteristic data are necessary because the pump according to FIG. 2 is designed in such a way that after the first sub-pump I, the delivery rate should be divided and a further pressure increase should only take place for a partial amount.
  • a pressure port 34 is connected for withdrawing a part of the quantity conveyed by this sub-block 3 and, on the other hand, an inner flow path 35 running in the housing 1 for a further pressure increase of the other part of the Funding is available through an internal series connection of sub-pump II to sub-pump I.
  • the required division of the partial quantities into the two flow paths can take place with the aid of an adjustable or controllable throttle device in the pressure line to be connected to the pressure port 34, which is not expressly shown.
  • the last stage of the sub-block 3 is on the circumference of the stator 12a the recesses 28 and 30 are distributed at uniform angular intervals of ⁇ / 6. Screws 16 end in the recesses 28, which are screwed into the center piece 22 on the one hand and are connected to the step stator 12a by nuts 17 on the other hand.
  • the recesses 30 accommodate the drive-distant ends of the tension bolts 20, which hold the stator of the sub-block 3 together via nuts 18.
  • the assembly can take place, for example, in such a way that, after the sub-block 3 has been set up and fixed, the middle piece 22, into which the screw bolts 16 are already screwed, is inserted into bores 36 (FIG. 3) of the stepped guide wheel 12a of the sub-block 3 and from the periphery
  • the nuts 17 can be fixed. If the sub-block 3 and the middle piece 22 are firmly connected to one another, the step-by-step construction of the sub-block 4 can be carried out, with the impellers 8 and 32 being heated according to the invention in the shrink fit area 10 on their inlet side facing away from the drive.
