Definitions

  • a geared compressor usually includes three compression stages and two intermediate coolers.
  • the other geared compressor typically includes four to six airends and three to five intercoolers.
  • the geared compressors have many mechanical components (ring gear, pinion shaft, large housings, etc.) which result in high costs.
  • an intermediate gear is usually used between the steam turbine and the geared compressor.
  • MAC main air compressor
  • BAC booster air compressor
  • Conventional MACs are usually designed as at least three-stage geared compressors.
  • Such compression systems are correspondingly expensive because usually a gear and at least two compressor shafts are required, on the shaft ends of which the corresponding compressors can be attached.
  • the high installation effort, the maintenance costs and the amount of the investment are undesirable from an economic point of view.
  • the invention has set itself the task of reducing investment costs without significantly impairing the efficiency of such systems.
  • a compressor module within the meaning of the invention is a compressor or a compressor stage and, in the case of the radial compressor or centrifugal compressor, comprises at least one impeller.
  • the main air compressor and the booster air compressor each have at least one compressor module that is driven by the drive unit.
  • the invention is essentially concerned with the compression of air for air separation, which must meet the specific requirements of air separation, and with the drive of this compression process.
  • a supplier it is a mandatory requirement for a supplier to provide a main air compressor and at least one, preferably two, so-called booster air compressors (BAC).
  • BAC booster air compressors
  • the separate compressor train of the booster air compressor is designed as a geared compressor with a large gear wheel and a plurality of planetary gear wheels that transmit torque on the large gear wheel.
  • the first compressor module of the main air compressor, the drive unit and the first planetary gear have a common shaft.
  • the drive unit is arranged between the first compressor module of the main air compressor and the first planetary gear wheel.
  • the planetary gear wheel is arranged between the drive unit and the second compressor module of the main air compressor.
  • the invention proposes reducing the number of compressor modules in the main air compressor from three to two, which leads to a reduction in investment costs.
  • a second compressor module of the booster air compressor is arranged on the second planetary gear wheel.
  • the geared compressor has a third planetary gear wheel, with a third compressor module of the booster air compressor being arranged on the planetary gear wheel.
  • the geared compressor has a third planetary gear wheel, with a third compressor module of the booster air compressor being arranged on the planetary gear wheel.
  • a fourth compressor module of the booster air compressor is arranged on the third planetary gear wheel.
  • first compressor module and the second compressor module of the main air compressor are fluidically connected to one another and a first intercooler is arranged between the two compressor modules, the first intercooler being designed to cool the process fluid flowing out of the first compressor module of the main air compressor during operation.
  • the second compressor module of the main air compressor and the first compressor module of the booster air compressor are fluidically connected to one another and a second intercooler is arranged between the two compressor modules, with the second intercooler for cooling the process fluid flowing out of the first compressor module of the main air compressor during operation is trained.
  • the compressor modules of the booster air compressor are fluidically connected to one another.
  • an intercooler is arranged between the compressor modules of the booster air compressor.
  • main air compressor main air compressor
  • booster air compressor booster air compressor
  • the air compression system 1 also includes a drive unit 4 for driving at least one compressor module 5, 6 of the main air compressor 2.
  • the air compression system 1 has a geared compressor 7 with a large gear wheel and a plurality of planetary gearwheels, a second compressor module 6 of the main air compressor being coupled to a first planetary gearwheel on the geared compressor in a torque-transmitting manner.
  • a first planetary gear wheel is driven by the large gear wheel, with the second compressor module of the main air compressor and the drive unit being coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to the first planetary gear wheel.
  • the drive unit, the first compressor module of the main air compressor and the first planetary gear wheel of the geared compressor and the second compressor module of the main air compressor have a common shaft 8 .
  • the geared compressor 7 has a second planetary gear wheel, with a first compressor module 9 of the booster air compressor and a second compressor module 10 of the booster air compressor being coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to the second planetary gear wheel.
  • the geared compressor 7 has a third planetary gear wheel, with a third compressor module 11 of the booster air compressor and a fourth compressor module 12 of the booster air compressor being coupled in a torque-transmitting manner to the third planetary gear wheel.
  • the drive unit 4 drives the first planetary gearwheel of the geared compressor 7 .
  • the large gear, the first planetary gear, the second planetary gear and the third planetary gear are coupled to one another in a torque-transmitting manner. Rotation of the first planetary gear results in rotation of the large gear, which in turn results in rotation of the second planetary gear and the third planetary gear.
  • the drive unit 4 is arranged between the first compressor module 5 of the main air compressor 2 and the geared compressor 7 .
  • the first planetary gear wheel is arranged between the drive unit 4 and the second compressor module 6 of the main air compressor 2 .

  • a flow medium flows into the first compression module 5 via a first line 13.
  • the flow medium can be air.
  • the pressure and the temperature of the flow medium are increased.
  • the flow medium flows via a second line 14 to a first intermediate cooler 15.
  • the flow medium is cooled.
  • the flow medium then flows to the second compressor module 6. There the flow medium is further compressed, with the pressure and the temperature increasing. The flow medium then flows via a third line 16 to a second intermediate cooler 17. In the second intermediate cooler 17, the temperature of the flow medium is reduced.
  • the compression work in the main air compressor 2 would thus be completed.
  • the further compression work is carried out in the booster air compressor 3 .
  • the flow medium flows via a fourth line 18 into the first compressor module 9 of the booster air compressor 3.
  • the pressure and the temperature of the flow medium are increased.
  • the flow medium then flows via a fifth line 19 to a third intermediate cooler 20, where the temperature of the flow medium is reduced again.
  • the flow medium flows into the second compressor module 10 of the booster air compressor 3, where the pressure of the flow medium is further increased, with the temperature also rising in the process.
  • the flow medium then flows to a fourth intercooler 21 where the temperature of the flow medium is reduced.
  • the flow medium flows via a sixth line 22 to the third compressor module 11 of the booster air compressor 3, the pressure of the flow medium being increased and the temperature increasing.
  • the flow medium then flows via a seventh line 23 to a fifth intercooler 24, where the temperature of the flow medium is reduced.
