Abstract
A new double suction impeller, in particular for centrifugal pumps and hydraulic power recovery turbines, wherein the flow-path arrangement has inter-blade channels intersecting each other at the impeller's outer diameter so that the equivalent number of blades is doubled with respect to a conventional configuration obtained by the coupling of two single suction impellers.
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a high efficiency double suction impeller, e.g. one that may be used for centrifugal pumps.
- Radial flow turbo machinery devices are particularly adapted to convert shaft power to kinetic energy (and vice versa) by accelerating (or decelerating) a fluid in a revolving device called impeller. When used as power-absorbing machines, impellers are commonly used to raise the pressure of a fluid or induce a fluid flow in a piping system.
- The impeller is the device, within the turbo machinery, that, rotating, exchanges energy with the fluid. In its simplest implementation the impeller comprises a plurality of blades fitted onto a hub plate. The shape and the geometry of impeller blades can be of many different types depending on the use, the rating, the performance of the turbo machinery.
- Having defined the specific speed, NS, of a pump as follows:
-
- where,
n=rotating speed in revolution per minute
Q=volumetric flow rate in [m3/h]
H=differential head [m]
for centrifugal pumps of capacity larger than 10 m̂3/h designed with low or medium specific speed values (e.g. NS<1600) and a double suction configuration, an impeller with a small number of blades is required in order to keep the head vs flow rate stable and continuously rising towards zero flow. This requirement is very important especially in case of more than one centrifugal pump employed in parallel, each working with a fraction of the available flow. Furthermore, centrifugal pumps of large capacity designed for low or medium specific speed values and for medium or high values of hydraulic head, require impellers having large diameters and narrow exit width. Double suction impellers are usually composed by two single suction impellers each elaborating half of the total flow and arranged in a back-to-back configuration. - In the state-of-the-art, centrifugal pumps having impellers provided with a center rib and staggered blades, the ratio between the impeller exit width b2 and the impeller diameter D2 can be well lower than 0.05. Impellers of this kind often show an unstable head vs flow rate characteristic curve. In addition to that, another drawback of this kind of impellers lies in the low blade exit angles (normally between 15° and 20°) and corresponding large wrap angles (normally between 120° and 270°) that are required to maintain acceptable slip factor values. As a result, the hydraulic efficiency of the state-of-the-art impeller of this kind is typically smaller than 95%.
- Furthermore, the low blade load typical of this kind of impellers (normally corresponding to head coefficients “psi” lower than 1, psi being equal to:
-
- where
g=gravity acceleration in [m/ŝ2]
H=differential head in [m]
u2=peripheral speed of the impeller in [m/s]) increases the required diameter of the impeller, thus increasing the disk friction losses by 1%-2% when compared to impellers having head coefficients greater than 1. - The achievable head coefficient can be increased by employing conventional split blades impellers, but this choice does not solve the problem of the narrow b2/D2 and poor head curve stability. Moreover, the number of leading edges of conventional split blades impellers is doubled, causing additional hydraulic losses.
- Embodiments of the present invention therefore relate to a double suction impeller having the channels between the blades starting from both inlets and crossing the median axis of the impeller exit in such a way that, as a result, the equivalent blades number is doubled with respect to a conventional configuration obtained by the coupling of two single suction impellers.
- In the new impeller reducing the slip factor by increasing the equivalent number of blades permits reducing the diameter of the impeller, thus reducing the size and therefore the manufacturing cost of the pump installing said impeller.
- Compared to a conventional impeller provided with splitter blades, embodiments of the new impeller do not introduce any additional leading edge and corresponding losses.
- For low specific speed pumps the new shape of the inter-blade channels of the impeller is such that the hydraulic diameter is increased and the length of each channel reduced, thus reducing the hydraulic losses with respect conventional impellers.
- Furthermore, the reduction of the impeller diameter brings also along a significant reduction of the losses due to disk friction, thus increasing the overall pump efficiency.
- The advantages and benefits associated to the new double suction impeller, with respect to an equivalent state-of-the-art impeller, increase as the operating speed of the new double suction impeller is decreased.
- The main application for the new double suction impeller is within centrifugal pumps and hydraulic power recovery turbines especially, but not exclusively, intended for refinery, petrochemical and pipelines. However, other applications are possible and contemplated.
