Abstract

A rotary machine includes: a casing; a rotor that includes a rotatable rotary shaft located inside the casing, and a plurality of stages of impellers fixed to an outer periphery of the rotary shaft; a diaphragm group including diaphragms that are respectively provided in the plurality of stages of the impellers; gas flow paths provided respectively corresponding to the impellers and through which process gas to be compressed flows; and a discharge volute connected to the gas flow paths. The discharge volute is provided to expand inward in an axis line direction of the casing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotary machine, comprising:
a casing;
a rotor that includes a rotatable rotary shaft located inside the casing, and a plurality of stages of impellers fixed to an outer periphery of the rotary shaft;
a diaphragm group including diaphragms that are respectively provided in the plurality of stages of the impellers;
gas flow paths through which process gas to be compressed flows, the gas flow paths being provided respectively corresponding to the impellers; and
a discharge volute connected to the gas flow paths,
wherein
the discharge volute is provided to expand inward in an axis line direction of the casing,
the casing includes an upper half casing and a lower half casing,
the upper half casing includes:
an upper half flange portion;
an upper outer peripheral portion connected to the upper half flange portion; and
a pedestal that is:
adjacent to an end surface of the upper outer peripheral portion, on a downstream side of the upper outer peripheral portion, in the axis line direction, wherein the pedestal and the end surface of the upper outer peripheral portion are provided on the downstream side of the discharge volute, and
higher in height than the upper half flange portion,

the lower half casing includes:
a lower half flange portion; and
a lower outer peripheral portion connected to the lower half flange portion,

the upper half flange portion and the lower half flange portion are fixed by a first fixing portion, and
the pedestal and the lower outer peripheral portion are fixed by a second fixing portion.

2. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge volute expands inward in the axis line direction, relative to a position on an extension line of a flow of the process gas flowing out from the impeller in a last stage.

3. A rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixing portion fixes the pedestal and the lower outer peripheral portion by a through bolt.

4. A rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the first fixing portion fixes the upper half flange portion and the lower half flange portion by a stud bolt.

5. The rotary machine according to claim 4 , wherein a position of a seat surface of the through bolt that fixes the pedestal and the lower outer peripheral portion is higher than a position of a seat surface of the stud bolt.

6. The rotary machine according to claim 3 , wherein the first fixing portion fixes the upper half flange portion and the lower half flange portion by a stud bolt.

7. The rotary machine according to claim 6 , wherein a position of a seat surface of the through bolt that fixes the pedestal and the lower outer peripheral portion is higher than a position of a seat surface of the stud bolt.
