Two-stage cantilevered axle stream expanding machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to the expanding machine technical field in overbottom pressure and afterheat generating system, particularly a kind of two-stage cantilevered axle
Flow expanding machine.
Background technology
The pressure regulation of China's natural gas transmission and distribution network uses valve pressure release at present, and pressure energy does not all obtain profit
With causing substantial amounts of energy dissipation.The billion cubic meter of China's natural gas Year's consumption about 2000, wherein adopt more than 1,300 hundred million cubes certainly
Rice, import billion cubic meter more than 600.From gas production mouth to different degrees of pressure regulation link per family be present, replace adjusting using expanding machine
Pressure valve is depressured, and the pressure energy of waste can be reclaimed, and is converted into mechanical energy and is used to generate electricity
Natural gas belongs to flammable explosive gas, once a leak occurs, there is very big potential safety hazard.China is completed at present
, there is the problem of many in several natural gas pressure difference power generating demonstration projects, most important problem is exactly the leakage of natural gas.Tradition
Method be that shaft end seal is installed on expanding machine output shaft.The sealing of use mainly has piston ring, mechanical seal and dry gas seals.
Piston ring sealed price is cheap, simple in construction, but sealing property is poor, is often accompanied by a small amount of natural gas leakings.Mechanical seal needs
Want high pressure petrol station to coordinate, gas is sealed using high pressure lubricating oil, have a small amount of lubricating oil and penetrate into expanding machine, and then adhere to downstream equipment
On.In addition, the maintenance of mechanical seal short life unit, maintenance are frequently.Dry gas seals system complex, cost is high, is needed during use
A large amount of high pressure nitrogens are consumed, after compressor emergency shutdown, it is still desirable to which consumption high pressure nitrogen for a long time, operating cost is high, is adapted to
Used on powerful device more than MW class.
, can be to the transmission & distribution gas in downstream after lubrication leakage enters natural gas line in addition, if generating set is using oil lubrication
Impact.
In natural gas pressure difference generating system, power pressure is high, and gas density is big so that unit is increasing the feelings of mass flow
Under condition, volume flow appoints right very little, and power density is very big.Low discharge expanding machine uses centripetal turbine more at present, but single-stage
Centripetal turbine rotating speed is very high, and multistage centripetal turbine pipeline is complicated, and pipeline coupling flange is more, and potential leakage point is more.To vortex cordis
Wheel is due to the limitation of impeller itself geometry, and smaller to the accommodation of rotating speed during design, the space for reducing rotating speed has very much
Limit.So that generating unit speed is higher, power of motor is difficult to meet design requirement.
Organic Rankine bottoming cycle (Organic Rankine Cycle abbreviation ORC) generates electricity to generate electricity with natural gas pressure difference, has a lot
Identical place.Working medium is all Hydrocarbon Organic, is required for that pressure energy is changed into electric energy, problem encountered using expanding machine
It is basically identical.
In natural gas pressure difference generating system and ORC electricity generation systems, the operating pressure of expanding machine is all higher, most of unit work
Make pressure all in a MPa level.Because air pressure is higher, expanding machine axial thrust is all very big.Even if generated output 100kW's or so
Unit, if do not adjusted specially to axial thrust, part of generating units axial thrust can reach more than 10000 Ns.If adopt
With the oil-free lubrication technology such as magnetic suspension or air suspension bearing, the axial thrust that unit can be born is very limited, it usually needs control
System, so single go to reduce axial thrust from the angle of expanding machine blade design, can not often meet that design will below 1000 Ns
Ask.
In summary, existing expanding machine is applied in natural gas and organic rankine cycle system, is primarily present following several
Individual problem:
1st, sealing problem;
2nd, lubricating oil pollutes to working medium gas;
3rd, generating unit speed high reliability is poor;
4th, expanding machine axial thrust is all very big, and the axial thrust that unit can be born is very limited;
5th, short life, maintenance, maintenance are frequent;
6th, system complex, cost are high.
