Fig. 1 shows a reference direction coordinate system of an embodiment of the present invention, and the following describes an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the directions shown in fig. 1.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a two-stage centrifugal compressor including a motor assembly 2, a one-stage compression assembly 1, a two-stage compression assembly 3, and an interstage cooling structure 4.
The motor assembly 2 comprises a shell, a rotating shaft 204, a stator 203 and a rotor, wherein the rotating shaft 204 is rotatably arranged in the shell, the stator 203 is connected with the shell, the rotor is connected with the rotating shaft 204, and the rotating shaft 204 can rotate at a high speed under the interaction of the stator 203 and the rotor, so that power is provided for the centrifugal compressor, and air compression is realized.
Referring to fig. 1, the primary compression assembly 1 includes a primary impeller 103 and a current collector 105, the primary impeller 103 is mounted at the front end of a rotating shaft 204 through a screw rod one 102 and a nut one 101, and the current collector 105 is mounted at one end, namely the front end, of a shell corresponding to the primary impeller 103; the two-stage compression assembly 3 comprises a two-stage impeller 302 and a volute 304, the two-stage impeller 302 is mounted at the rear end of the rotating shaft 204 through a second screw 307 and a second nut 306, and the volute 304 is mounted at one end, namely the rear end, of the shell corresponding to the two-stage impeller 302. First-level compression component 1, second grade compression component 3 are located the both ends of casing respectively, and motor element 2 sets up between first-level compression component 1, second grade compression component 3. When the primary impeller 103 rotates along with the rotating shaft 204, air is continuously sucked from the inlet of the collector 105, and is discharged from the outlet of the collector 105 after being compressed, so that primary compression is realized. The air compressed by the first stage further enters the volute 304, and is discharged from the outlet of the volute 304 after being compressed. Meanwhile, air is compressed in two stages, and the pressure ratio is greatly improved.
In order to obtain a higher air pressure ratio, a centrifugal air compressor mostly adopts a two-stage compression structure, and because of the space structure limitation of a fuel cell, high-temperature and high-pressure air after first-stage compression is often directly introduced into a second-stage system for compression. However, the air temperature at the outlet of the first-stage impeller 103 can reach 120 to 150 ℃ (when the ambient temperature is 25 ℃), and at this time, the higher the gas temperature is, the harder it is to compress, the higher the compressor power required for reaching the same pressure ratio is, and if the compressed air at the temperature is directly introduced into the second-stage compression component 3 for compression, the axial power load of the second-stage compression component 3 will be increased to a great extent, and further the motor power output is increased, resulting in low efficiency of the compressor system. At the moment, if the high-temperature and high-pressure gas at the primary outlet of the air compressor can be cooled, the temperature of the compressed air is reduced, if the compressed air is cooled to 40-60 ℃, the shaft power of a secondary compression system can be reduced to a great extent, and therefore the system efficiency is improved. However, due to the structural space limitations of the fuel cell, it is difficult to provide an efficient cooling structure. In view of this, referring to fig. 1, the present application provides an interstage cooling structure 4 integrated with a centrifugal air compressor, that is, the interstage cooling structure 4 is provided in a housing between the first-stage compression assembly 1 and the second-stage compression assembly 3, the interstage cooling structure 4 is provided with a gas path 404 and a cooling medium passage, the gas path 404 communicates an outlet of the collector 105 with an inlet of the volute 304, and the gas path 404 flows through a region of the cooling medium passage to exchange heat with the cooling medium passage. The cooling medium in the cooling medium channel passes through the air path 404 to cool the high-temperature compressed air, and absorbs the heat of the motor stator 203 through the housing to cool the motor stator 203. The air is cooled by the cooling liquid passing through the inside of the shell before entering the secondary impeller 302, the temperature of the gas entering the secondary impeller is reduced, the secondary compression is easier, the efficiency is higher, the power of the secondary compression is reduced, and the power consumption is lower. Moreover, the gas path 404 is arranged inside the shell, so that the structure of the gas path 404 between the first-stage compression assembly 1 and the second-stage compression assembly 3 is greatly simplified, and the space outside the compressor is not occupied, so that the structures of a centrifugal air compressor, a hydrogen fuel cell and the like are more compact.
The cooling medium passage and the air passage 404 may take various structural forms to meet the purpose of cooling and heat exchange, for example, the cooling medium passage adopts a cooling water jacket disposed in the housing, and the air passage 404 is an air flow through hole disposed outside the cooling water jacket. For example, in some embodiments shown in fig. 1 and 2, the casing includes an inner casing 201 and an outer casing 408, the interstage cooling structure 4 includes an inner partition 403 and an outer partition 406, the inner partition 403 is in a sleeve shape, the inner partition 403 is sleeved outside the inner casing 201, a first cooling medium channel 402 is defined between the inner partition 403 and the inner casing 201, the inner partition 403 is in a sleeve shape, the outer partition 406 is arranged inside the outer casing 408, a second cooling medium channel 407 is defined between the outer partition 406 and the outer casing 408, and an annular air passage 404 is formed between the inner partition 403 and the outer partition 406. The interstage cooling structure 4 forms an inner and outer dual circulation cooling flow path for the cooling medium through the inner casing 201 and the inner spacer ring 403, and the outer casing 408 and the outer spacer ring 406. The cooling medium in the first cooling medium channel 402 absorbs heat of air through the inner partition ring 403 to cool the high-temperature compressed air, and absorbs heat of the motor stator 203 through the inner casing 201 to cool the motor stator 203; the cooling medium in the second cooling medium passage 407 mainly absorbs the heat of the air through the outer spacer ring 406 to cool the high-temperature compressed air in the annular passage. The air path 404 is sandwiched between the cooling medium channels on both sides, and the cooling effect is greatly enhanced.
Further, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the outer circumference of the inner housing 201 is provided with a spiral groove for circulating a cooling medium, and the spiral groove is communicated with the outside through a through hole provided in a flange of the inner housing 201. The inner spacer 403 is sleeved outside the inner shell 201 and is connected with the inner shell 201 in an interference fit manner, and sealing rings are arranged at two ends of the inner spacer to prevent a cooling medium in the spiral groove from leaking. Obviously, the spiral groove on the outer circumference of the inner casing 201 and the inner surface of the inner spacer 403 form the first cooling medium passage 402 with good sealing performance for the cooling medium to flow through. The inner hole of the outer shell 408 is provided with a spiral groove for circulation of a cooling medium, the outer spacer ring 406 is arranged on the inner side of the outer shell 408 and is connected with the outer shell 408 in an interference fit manner, and sealing rings are arranged at two ends of the outer spacer ring to prevent the cooling medium in the spiral groove from leaking. Obviously, the inner circular spiral groove of the outer casing 408 and the outer surface of the outer spacer ring 406 form a second cooling medium passage 407 with good sealing performance for the circulation of the cooling medium. The cooling medium flows along the spiral cooling medium channel, so that the heat exchange effect between the cooling medium and the part to be cooled is prolonged, and the heat exchange is more sufficient.
Further, according to the needs, in order to increase the heat dissipation, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, a heat dissipation fin 405 is disposed between the inner spacer 403 and the outer spacer 406, an outer circumferential surface of the heat dissipation fin 405 is connected with an inner hole surface of the outer spacer 406 and has good heat conductivity, and an inner circumferential surface of the heat dissipation fin 405 is connected with an outer circumferential surface of the inner spacer 403 and has good heat conductivity. In summary, the interstage cooling structure 4 forms an inner and outer dual circulation cooling flow path for the cooling medium through the inner casing 201 and the inner spacer 403, and the outer casing 408 and the outer spacer 406. The cooling medium in the first cooling medium channel 402 absorbs the heat of the heat dissipation fins 405 through the inner partition ring 403 to cool the high-temperature compressed air, and absorbs the heat of the motor stator 203 through the inner shell 201 to cool the motor stator 203; the cooling medium in the second cooling medium passage 407 mainly absorbs the heat of the heat radiating fins 405 through the outer spacer ring 406 to cool the high-temperature compressed air in the annular passage. It is understood that the heat dissipating fins 405 provided in the annular channel may have various configurations, and are designed to have a large heat dissipating area and a small flow resistance.
Referring to fig. 1, a first impeller seal gap is formed between the top of the first-stage impeller 103 and the inner profile surface of the current collector 105, and a second impeller seal gap is formed between the top of the second-stage impeller 302 and the inner profile surface of the volute 304, where the first impeller seal gap and the second impeller seal gap are equidirectional gaps, and when the rotating shaft 204 axially displaces relative to the casing, the seal gaps between the first-stage impeller 103 and the second-stage impeller 302 and the corresponding shrouds change in the same direction, that is, become larger or smaller at the same time, and such a structural layout facilitates the management and control of the seal gaps between the impellers and the shrouds, thereby improving the efficiency of the compression system.
Referring to fig. 1, the motor assembly 2 further includes a front radial bearing assembly mounted at the front end of the housing, the front radial bearing assembly including a front bearing seat 202 and a front radial foil air bearing 207, a rear radial bearing assembly mounted at the rear end of the housing, the rear radial bearing assembly including a rear bearing seat 205 and a rear radial foil air bearing 206, a thrust bearing assembly disposed within the front bearing seat 202, and a thrust bearing assembly including a front thrust bearing 210, a rear thrust bearing 208, and a gap spacer 209, a rotating shaft 204 mounted within a hollow shaft bore formed by the front radial foil air bearing 207 and the rear radial foil air bearing 206, the front end of the rotating shaft 204 being provided with flange protrusions mounted to be confined within an annular air cavity formed by the front thrust bearing 210 and the rear thrust bearing 208.
Further, referring to fig. 1, the first-stage compression assembly 1 further includes a first-stage diffuser 104 installed at a radial outlet of the first-stage impeller 103, and the first-stage diffuser 104 is connected to the front bearing seat 202; the two-stage compression assembly 3 further comprises a two-stage diffuser 303 mounted at the radial outlet of the two-stage impeller 302, the two-stage diffuser 303 being connected to a volute 304.
The inner ring surface of the collector 105 and the outer ring surface of the front bearing seat 202 form a first-stage compressed gas annular channel, the annular channel is in butt joint with the gas circuit 404, the back of the first-stage impeller 103 is provided with a sealing ring groove, the sealing ring groove and the surface protrusion of the front thrust bearing 210 form an axial sealing structure, and the back of the second-stage impeller 302 is provided with a sealing ring groove and forms an axial sealing structure with the surface protrusion of the rear cover.

The high temperature and high pressure air from the outlet of the first stage compressor 1 enters the interstage cooling structure 4 along the annular channel formed by the inner annular surface of the collector 105 and the outer annular surface of the front bearing seat 202. The annular passage formed by the inner and outer spacers 403 and 406 of the interstage cooling structure 4 is provided with heat dissipation fins 405, and when high-temperature gas passes through the heat dissipation fins 405, heat is quickly absorbed by the fins.
