Design And Experiment Of The Centrifugal Pump Impellers

With Twisted Inlet Vice Blades

INTRODUCTION:
In order to introduce gap drainage technology into practice, the design concept and
expression format of spatial geometry are proposed for gap drainage impeller with twisted
vice blades. First, the profile of vice blade at leading edge and relative position of main blade
need to be parameterized. In addition, the influence of these parameters on the performance
of a centrifugal pump should be studied. After the above-mentioned work is done, a
centrifugal pump with good performance can be designed. On the basis of previous research
results, the geometric parameters of twisted blades are determined and the centrifugal pump
impellers are designed and manufactured. Through performance tests and cavitation tests, it is
verified that the twisted vice blades on centrifugal pumps are effective and practical.

METHODOLOGY:
Based on theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and PIV flow field tests, the
mechanism how gap drainage impellers improve hydraulic performance and cavitation
performance of low specific speed centrifugal pumps has been deeply studied. Furthermore,
the measurement of pressure pulsation and vibration was carried out at inlet, outlet and volute
zone of centrifugal pumps with gap impellers under cavitation and non-cavitation conditions.
Currently, gap drainage technology is mainly used for cylindrical blades. In order to
introduce gap drainage technology into practice widely, the twisted vice blade should be
studied based on the above physical mechanism. The profile of the vice blade at leading edge
and relative position of main blade need to be parameterized, and the influence of these
parameters on the performance of a centrifugal pump should be explored.

RESULT:
The working point at which pump head is reduced by 3% is regarded as the critical
cavitation point, and a NPSH corresponding to this situation is defined as c NPSH [8]. It is
listed that the c NPSH values of the two pumps under three flow rates. It can be seen that c
NPSH of gap pump is both lower than traditional pump under different flow rate conditions.
With the gradual increase of flow rates, the difference between traditional pump and gap
pump is also increasing, especially it reaches 0.37m when Q is 48m3/h. It shows that during
the decline of a NPSH , the time when cavitation occurs for gap pump is later than with
traditional one. That means gap pump has better cavitation performance, especially in the
high flow rate area, the effect is more significant.

CONCLUSION:
In this paper, the design idea and method for the spatial geometry of twisted gap
drainage blade are put forward, which develop the design method of gap drainage blade from
2-D to 3-D twisted blade and will achieve an advancement for introducing gap drainage
technology into practice. It is verified that the twisted vice blades can improve the hydraulic
performance and cavitation performance of the centrifugal pumps.
