Definitions
- This invention relates to a seal device, particularly of a type for interposition between a pump body and pump impeller.
- centrifugal pumps utilise a seal ring placed between the impeller port and pump body which restricts its radial play.
- a further important object is to provide a device which affords maximisation of the hydraulic performance while minimising the recycle flow.
- a main object is also that of providing a device which can simultaneously achieve the two preceding objects.
- Another object is to provide a device which allows the utilisation of ring seals of suitable materials also for specific liquids and temperatures.
- seal device for interposition between a pump impeller and a pump body of single or multistage type, as defined in appended claim 1.
- the device of this invention may be used also in multistage pumps in connection with all or some of the impeller stages.
- the device 1 comprises two rings 2 and 3 positionable between the pump body 4 and impeller 5 of any centrifugal pump.
- the ring 2 having an essentially L-like cross-sectional shape is spot welded and rests with the longer flange 6 on the pump body 4, while the other flange 7, perpendicular to the axis of the impeller 5, contacts the zone 8 located downstream from the inlet end of the intake or port 9.
- zone 8 there is present the fluid centrifuged by the impeller 5, which is subjected to a higher pressure than that prevailing in the suction zone 10.
- the zone 8 is enclosed by the body 4 of the pump within the cavity or compartment thereof where the impeller 5 rotates between the inner walls of the pump body and the impeller.
- the fluid is substantially stagnant but it takes up the delivery pressure of the pump, the liquid flowing according to the arrow A through the hollow interior of the impeller owing to the centrifugal action thereon.
- the flange 7 has a plurality of openings 11 formed proximately to the point of connection with the flange 6.
- the second ring 3 has an essentially S-like cross-sectional shape, with the bottom lug or flange 12 being slightly longer than the upper lug or flange 13.
- the upper lug 13 abuts and is spot welded on the flange 6 of the ring 2, while the bottom lug 12 is disposed parallel to that same flange and rests with its free end on the pump body 4.
- the rings 2 and 3 define a groove or seat 14, whose base is defined by the upper lug 13 of the second ring 3 for a sealing element 15 comprising, for example, a circular cross-section elastomer ring.
- the seat 14 has a greater depth than the external diameter of the element 15, or corresponding external dimension of a sealing element having other than a circular cross-section, so that a chamber 16 is defined between the base of said seat 14 and a portion of said sealing element.
- the device 1 operates as follows: on operating the pump, the pressurized liquid present in the zone 8 will flow, through the openings 11, into the chamber 16 of the seat 14.
- That liquid pressure urges the sealing element or elastomer ring 15 against the external circumferential face of the intake 9 of the impeller 5 because the fluid working in the zone 17 has a much lower pressure than that in the zone 8.
- the liquid present in this latter zone 8 tends to leak out also through the space 18, and below the element 15, thus forming, in a condition of equilibrium, a ring or film of liquid, for lubricating the sliding motion between the sealing element 15 and the port 9 of the impeller 5, its thickness being such as to ensure a minimal recycle of the liquid, and hence, a high volumetric efficiency, whilst avoiding any scraping action occurring between the sealing element and the impeller.
- the sealing element is held stationary within the seat 14.
- the pressure in the zone 14 is somewhat greater than the pressure in the zone 17 owing to the pressure drop caused by the leaks through the space 18 and the communication with the suction side of the pump. Therefore the ring 15 is urged radially inwards and allows compensation.
- the ring or sealing element 15 is also self-compensated, by virtue of the fact that, the higher the pressure in the pump becomes, consequently, the greater become the forces applied by the fluid, to the sealing element, thereby compensating the play existing between its surface and the outer circumferential surface of the port or forward portion 9 of the impeller 5.
- the device 101 could also include two rings 102 and 103, but with the latter being formed with a guide 119 projecting into a correspondingly shaped seat 114, provided on the element 115.
- a semirigid ring of plastics material also an elastic metallic split ring may be used.
- any materials may be used contingent on requirements, such as the type and temperature of the liquid being pumped.
