Suction filter, turbo compressor, and method of packaging the compressor
View Patent ↗A casing provided centrally with a sealed structure chamber. Small-sized separate four filter elements are arranged each on opposite sides of the chamber such that inflow air from a suction section into the casing is introduced via the filter elements into the chamber. Each filter element is detachably fitted over a filter-element mount having openings at its outer periphery. Upon filter-element replacement, the filter elements are replaced individually by opening a window. An integral cast casing having compressing sections and compressed air passages integrally fabricated therewith by casting is formed with receptacles for first and second intercoolers and an aftercooler. The intercoolers and aftercooler are received in the receptacles. Outlets of the intercoolers are connected with suction sides of second- and third-stage compressors through second- and third-stage suction pipes, respectively. A blowoff silencer is arranged between the integral cast casing and an oil tank.
1. A turbocompressor comprising:
an integral cast casing with first-, second- and third-stage compressors and with all of air coolers corresponding to said compressors being incorporated therein, said respective stage compressors being connected to the corresponding air coolers through compressed air passages, respectively,
the air coolers incorporated in the integral cast casing being first and second intercoolers and an aftercooler;
the integral cast casing being provided by integrally casting into the single casting a casting scroll of the first-stage compressor, further casting scroll of the second-stage compressor, further casting scroll of the third-stage compressor, a receptacle for the first intercooler, further receptacle for the second intercooler, a receptacle for the aftercooler, a compressed air passage introducing compressed air from the scroll of the first-stage compressor to the receptacle for the first intercooler, a compressed air passage introducing compressed air from the scroll of the second-stage compressor to the receptacle for the second intercooler, a receptacle for a power transmission mechanism, and an aftercooler outlet and a blowoff outlet;
an oil tank arranged on a side of the integral cast casing, and
a blowoff silencer placed between the oil tank and the integral cast casing so as to be pinched therebetween, the blowoff silencer being connected to the aftercooler through a blowoff pipe.
2. The turbocompressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compressed air passages for communication of outlets of the first and second intercoolers with inlets of the second- and third-stage compressors, respectively, are in a form of pipes detachably attached to the corresponding cooler outlets and to the corresponding compressor inlets, respectively.
3. The turbocompressor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first and second intercoolers and the aftercooler are arranged and incorporated in the order named and partitioned by partitions, an outside of the aftercooler being in a form of an arc.
4. The turbocompressor as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first and second intercoolers and the aftercooler are arranged and incorporated in the order named and partitioned by partitions, an outside of the aftercooler being in a form of an arc.
