Analysis of Unbalanced Response of Rigid Rotor Supported by AMBs under　Coupling Dynamic and Control Methods

摘要

The main helium circulator is the core component of the High Temperature Reactor (HTR). Mechanical machining errors and assembly errors can cause uneven distribution of rotor mass. When the rotor rotates, the unbalanced mass will generate unbalanced force which will change the rotor's axis trajectory. By coupling the rotor dynamics method and the electromagnetic bearing system control theory, the motion of the rotor is modeled. Three representative unbalanced conditions of the impeller position, the bearing position and the centroid position are assumed to simulate the unbalance response of the rotor, and the influence of changes in the stiffness and damping on the unbalance response of the rotor is analyzed by adjusting the stiffness and the damping of the rotor. The results of the analysis show that the bearings farther from the unbalanced position (UBP) have larger rotor displacements and bearing loads. Increasing Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) stiffness and damping will increase the bearing load and reduce the response displacement of the rotor. Therefore, the stiffness and damping of AMBs must be designed by considering the bearing capacity and the displacement limit of the rotor.
