Description
Noise attenuation device for a centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle
The invention relates to a centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle, a centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle formed as a pipe section piece adapted to be mounted on a centrifugal compressor nozzle, a centrifugal compressor comprising the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle, and a centrifugal compressor arrangement respectively comprising at least one side resonator integrally formed in the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle, wherein the side resonator (s) act(s) like an acoustic mirror. Description
In chemical and petrochemical plants a centrifugal compressor is commonly used for pressurising process gas. The centrifugal compressor comprises at least one suction nozzle and at least one discharge nozzle, wherein said nozzles are connected to plant piping. Through the suction nozzle process gas flows into the centrifugal compressor to be compressed therein. The compressed process gas exits the centrifugal compressor through the discharge nozzle to be delivered to downstream plant components.
The centrifugal compressor comprises at least one rotor with at least one impeller. Downstream of the impeller the centrifugal compressor comprises a diffuser. The impeller and the diffuser are aerodynamically effective to compress the process gas. During operation of the compressor the rotor rotates thereby generating noise. The noise is a combination of discrete frequency noise (tonal noise) related to the so- called blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics. The noise generates a high noise exposure of the environment and can cause structural failures of the centrifugal compressor and the piping due to vibration cracking.
It is desirable to reduce the noise intensity level of the emitted noise spectrum at the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics. Attenuation of the noise level upstream and downstream of the suction and discharge piping, respectively, will reduce the exposure to the environment and can reduce cyclic stresses in the structures upstream and downstream of the nozzles .
A remedy to reduce the noise intensity level of the centrifugal compressor is to cover the centrifugal compressor with a noise hood. The noise hood is able to reduce the noise exposure of the environment. However, the noise-hood is cost- intensive and needs to be taken into consideration with respect to space requirement being problematic in a plant with limited space.
Another remedy to reduce the noise intensity level of the centrifugal compressor is to provide the downstream piping of the centrifugal compressor with a piping silencer. However, the piping silencer is flown through by the process gas and therefore induces a high flow resistance resulting in an adverse pressure loss. Further, the piping silencer is costly in construction and large in geometrical dimensions. Such a silencer is shown in DE 1814146Al .
Furthermore, another remedy to reduce the noise intensity level of the centrifugal compressor is to provide a Helmholtz array in the diffuser. The Helmholtz array is installed on the diffuser wall resulting in a complicated and cost- intensive centrifugal compressor construction. Such a construction is shown in US 6,575,696 Bl.
It is an object of the invention to provide a centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle, a centrifugal compressor comprising the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle, and a centrifugal compressor arrangement comprising the centrifugal compressor, wherein the centrifugal compressor is effectively noise attenuated during operation and cost-effective in construction.
According to the invention, the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle comprises at least one side resonator integrally formed in the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle.
Alternatively, according to the invention, the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle is formed as a pipe section piece adapted to be mounted on a centrifugal compressor nozzle, comprising at least one side resonator integrated into the pipe section piece.
Further, according to the invention, between compressor nozzles and piping various stacked rings can be installed forming one or more side resonator (s) .
Furthermore, according to the invention, the centrifugal compressor comprises the centrifugal compressor discharge or suction nozzle.
Additionally, according to the invention, the centrifugal compressor arrangement comprises the centrifugal compressor.
The process gas discharging the centrifugal compressor is interfered by tonal noise generated within the centrifugal compressor during its operation at a specific frequency band. The tonal noise is related to the so-called blade passing frequency and its higher harmonics. The discharge or suction nozzle of the centrifugal compressor comprises the side resonator (s) , whereby the side resonator (s) is (are) in direct cooperation with the discharge or inlet process gas. Since the side resonator (s) is (are) appropriate to reduce the tonal noise by the effects of acoustic impedance, the side resonator (s) act(s) like an acoustic mirror at the specific frequency band of the tonal noise. The geometrical dimensions of the side resonator (s) determine the frequency band in which the resonator (s) is (are) active. Therefore, it is possible to attenuate the frequency band in which the blade passing frequency is active. As a consequence of this, during operation of the centrifugal compressor, its noise emission level is lower.
Further, when the process gas flows through the discharge or suction nozzle, the process gas passes the side resonator without disturbing the process gas flow in the discharge or suction nozzle. Therefore, the side resonator includes very low or even less flow resistance to the process gas discharge or suction flow. Hence, a side resonator does not cause any significant pressure loss in the process gas discharge or suction flow. The process gas discharge or suction flow is noise attenuated by the side resonator (s) . Consequently, the centrifugal compressor comprising the side resonator has a high energy efficiency.
As an alternative, the side resonator (s) is (are) integrated in the pipe section piece, such that advantageously the centrifugal compressor can be equipped with the side resonator (s) subsequent to its assembly. Further, different types of side resonators can be provided for the centrifugal compressor in replacing the pipe section piece provided with different side resonators, and the pipe section piece can be designed as an universal section which can be mounted on any centrifugal compressor.
As an alternative various rings can be stacked in between the nozzle piping connection forming one or more resonators that can be fitted to any compressor.
Since the side resonator is in the pipe section piece, , the centrifugal compressor has a compact design, which is easy and cost saving to be manufactured. Preferably, the compressor discharge or suction nozzle comprises a plurality of side resonators located after each other. This enlarges the frequency band in which the noise is attenuated and makes the solution most robust.
Each side resonator is capable to reduce a specific frequency. Therefore, by providing a plurality of side resonators after each other, wherein each side resonator can be adapted to reduce another specific frequency, the frequency band in which the plurality of side resonators is effective to reduce the tonal noise, is broadened. This is the reason why the inventive centrifugal compressor is silenced in an effective way by means of the plurality of side resonators.
It is preferred that the pipe section piece comprises a plurality of ring elements having different inner diameters and concentrically adjoining each other, and at least one flange element facing the plurality of ring elements, wherein the plurality of ring elements form the side resonator (s) .
The ring elements preferably can be formed by universal rings. Further, preferably standard flange elements can be used, such that manufacturing costs of the pipe section piece are low.
It is preferred that the centrifugal compressor arrangement comprises the centrifugal compressor, wherein the side resonator comprises a liquid injection device for liquid injection into the side resonator for cleaning thereof.
Preferably, the centrifugal compressor arrangement comprises a gas scrubber provided upstream of the centrifugal compressor and a bypass line from the side resonator to the gas scrubber for bypassing the process gas or the liquid from the side resonator to the gas scrubber.
