Development of curvilinear blade impeller of vortex pump based on numerical simulation
Journal Title: Журнал інженерних наук - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The present paper focuses on study of relation between impeller outlet width and the slope of characteristic curve. In order to figure out this relation on the different operation modes the numerical simulation was used. The cause of efficiency reducing in extremely narrow and wide impellers was determined. Relationship between impeller outlet width of double-entry centrifugal pump and slope of characteristic curve was established. The article shows that changing of the impeller outlet width in some relative width range leads to achieving required characteristic curve slope with inessential efficiency drop. The study results are intended to be used during modernization of pump impellers with specific speed, which operate in groups with different initial characteristic curves. Such modernization is possible with existing pump casing and bearing compounds usage, that reduces expenses on modernization greatly and lowers pumping equipment life-cycle cost.
