1r-f Delaware Application-February' 6, 19s1-,seria1- No. 209,682- 9elaims.- (olaz-satana) present invention` relates to multistage compressor-siv and particularly to an arrangement forbleeding and fl?! controllingthe bleeding provided at selected stages of the compressor.
En orderto: obtain best performance at design speed in; axial flow; compressors ithas been found necessary to prov-ide fofy bleeding the compressor at certain stages dur-ing the period while the compressor is brought up to. design speed. To accomplish this, a row of bleed holes is provided in the compressor casing' with the row extending generally almost the entire circumference of the casing in order that bleeding may be uniform at all points inthe c ir-curn'ference.4 A feature of thisl invention is an arrangementV for controlling the bleeding that occurs by opening or closing the ports; Another feature is an arrangement; by which. the Vport closing means may :be actuated lay-fluid` under pressure.
More specifically, the invention involves a flexible member surrounding the compressor casing and overlying the bleed? ports in sucha Way that when no pressure isAv applied thev ports are open and when pressure is applied the` member will closeof the'l fl'ow of gas through the Jr-ts. p Otherobjects and advantages. will be.- apparent from the:` specification and claims, and4 fromy the,y accompany-Dg drawings which illustrate an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary sectional view through a compressor.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the caslng substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. 1 on a smaller scale.
The invention is shown in connection with a multistage axial flow compressor in which the several rows of stator vanes 2 are carried by a casing 4, successive rows being spaced apart to alternate with the successive rows of blades 6 carried by the rotor 8. The inner ends of the stator vanes may carry shrouds 9 and sealing ns 10.
The invention is shown in a double walled casing which may be similar to that described and claimed in the copending Ledwith and Shoup application Serial No. 20?,- 556 filed February 6, 1951. As shown the inner casmg member 4a to which the stator vanes are directly secured has a row of ports 12 located directly downstream of one of the rows of stator vanes and also, in certain constructions, another row 14 of bleed ports located directly downstream of a succeeding row of stator vanes. This inner casing member 4a may have circumferentially arranged flanges 16 which extend outwardly into contact with the outer casing member 4b thereby defining annular chambers 18 and 20 communicating with the rows of bleed ports 12 and 14, respectively. The outer casing member 4b will have bleed ports 22 and 24 communicating with the annular spaces 18 and 20 and each of these rows of ports preferably extends circumferentially around the compressor. The flanges 16 prevent discharge of air out of chambers 18 and 20.
To control the flow of air out of the rows of ports 22 and 24 there is positioned in overlying relation to these rows of ports a flexible tube 26 located in an annular chamber defined by a box-like structure or casing ring 28 which extends around the compressor casing and may be held in position thereon as by welding 30. In the arrangement shown the box-like structure is made up of two separate rings, one of which is secured to the Acasing member 4b and the other of which surrounds the first ring and is secured at its edges to the first ring. The structure of this box is not critical but it will be noted 4 2,698,711 Patented Jan. 4, 1955 lsf:
. 2 l that-,it has outlet-ports 32 located in the side wall in suelr aA position that the tube' 26 when deflated into the dotdash line position showin will uncover the ports :l2 andalso the bleed ports; 22 and 24` and; will establish fluidn communication between them.
In theoperation ofthe device, when the-,compressor requires: bleeding,A the tube 26 is deflatedas, for example,-
through al two-way valve 34 which connects inletpassage 316L to a; vent 38. This allows tube 26 to collapse-,and air l0 withinthe compressor may then escape through the bleed .f p orts 22 and 24and through the outlet ports 32 into the atmosphere.; When the compressor reaches design-speed Or whenever bleeding is' not required air is admitted to the tube as through pressure conduit 40 and will inflate the. tube and move it into the full line position in which pit closes the ports 22, 24 and 32 and;- efectively prevents any further escapeofl air from within the; compressor.
The air conduit 40 may be connected to` any suitable source of supply of fluid underpressure with the admis,-
sion ofv fluid under pressure to the tube manually controlled as by a, valve. 34. Although the invention'is shownin a continuous complete tube it will be understood thatthe effective part of the tube is the movable portion. which constitutes a flexible memberr overlying the ports and movable by pressure exerted on the side remote from the ports into a position for closing' the ports.
It; is to be understood that the invention is not limit-ed to the specific embodiment herein illustrated and de-' scribed, but may be used in other ways` without departure; fromits spirit as defined by the. followingclaims.
