How to reduce the pump cavitation of pipeline centrifugal pump

 Pipeline centrifugal pump

Improving the anti cavitation performance of the pump :

1. reduce the necessary cavitation margin:

1). The double suction impeller pump. The double suction pump NPSH delta HC than single stage single suction pump NPSH HC, N and Q for the same speed flow pump, adopt double suction impeller.

2). Appropriately increasing the inlet diameter of the impeller and increasing the inlet width of the blade. When the impeller inlet diameter and the inlet width increase, the absolute velocity and relative velocity of the impeller inlet are decreased, and the critical cavitation margin of the pump is decreased. However, at this time the impeller inlet area of the reduction of the area increases, leakage increased, the volume efficiency of the pump will be reduced.

3) impeller before the addition of inducer. Inducer before impeller of centrifugal pump impeller. The impeller and the pump vane pump, the pressure generated by the coaxial assembly of the wheel running together, the pressure generated by the impeller inlet pressure, improve pump cavitation performance. However, the addition of inducer, will make the pump performance is not stable, therefore, it is necessary to further explore and research.

2. Improve the anti cavitation ability of the flow component material in order to reduce the cavitation damage to the pump flow parts, to extend its service life, often choose the material with strong anti cavitation performance. Such as cast manganese, bronze, stainless steel and alloy steel casting impeller; or with polymer coating or laser spray plating parts surface to resist cavitation damage. In addition, on the surface of the flow parts finishing, improve its finish, but also to reduce the harm of cavitation.

Anti cavitation ability of the water inlet device:

The cavitation margin is closely related with the water inlet device and the pipeline system, so it should be designed to be a good water inlet device, so as to improve the pump inlet's cavitation margin, so as to meet the requirements of the dynamic pressure drop in the pump.

1. Reasonably determine the water absorption of the pump. The pumps are generally in non design condition, it should fully consider the various conditions that may be encountered in the work of the water pump, the determined height in any condition should meet the requirements of water pump performance.

2. Optional water inlet pipe. As far as possible to reduce the length of the inlet pipe and unnecessary pipe attachment, appropriate increase in the inlet pipe diameter, in order to reduce the hydraulic loss of the inlet pipe, improve the pump inlet cavitation. For large and medium axial flow pumps, the distribution of flow velocity and pressure in the inlet pipe can be evenly distributed, which will be beneficial to prevent the occurrence of cavitation.

3) well designed into the pool. Fall into the pool of good can not only reduce the water level in the pond, reduce the resistance coefficient of inlet, and the water in the pool is stable without swirl. Can avoid the air into the pump, to prevent the occurrence of cavitation premature.

Measures to be taken in operation management :

1. As far as possible to make the pump in the design of the operating conditions of the annex. According to the specific conditions of the pump station, the pump using variable valve, variable speed, variable angle and other regulatory measures to prevent pump operating conditions deviate from the design conditions too far.

2. The actual speed of the pump is higher than the design speed. Due to the need to be proportional to the square of the speed and the speed of the rotating speed is too high, not only to reduce the need for a substantial increase in cavitation margin, but also to reduce the effective cavitation margin.

3. Pump cavitation in the operation, the water inlet of the water pump filled with a small amount of air or high-pressure water way, to reduce or avoid cavitation damage.
