subject: How To Prevent Pump Cavitation Phenomenon [print this page] Heat Pump Network HC First, the phenomenon of cavitation
Liquid at a certain temperature, reduce the pressure to the pressure of vaporization temperature, the liquid will produce bubbles. This produces the phenomenon known as cavitation bubbles. When cavitation bubbles, flow to the high-pressure office, the volume decrease resulting in burst. Such as increased pressure in the liquid bubble away the phenomenon known as cavitation bubble collapse.
Pump In operation, if the over-current part of the local area (usually the impeller blade inlet somewhere later) for some reason, the absolute pressure of pumping the liquid at temperatures down to liquid vaporization pressure, the liquid will be in the area Start vaporized, producing a lot of steam, the formation of bubbles, the bubble when the liquid contains a lot of forward pressure by the impeller zone, bubble bubble around the high pressure liquid resulted in dramatically reduced and even rupture. Condensation in the bubble burst at the same time, liquid filled particles at high speed holes, in this moment has a very strong effect of water hammer, and to a very high impact frequency against the metal surface, the impact of stress up to several hundred to several thousand atmospheric pressure, impact frequency up to tens of thousands of times per second, severe wall thickness will be the breakdown.
In the water Pump Bubble burst in a bubble and suffered damage to over-current components in the process is the water pump cavitation process. Pump Cavitation after the addition to the over-current components other than the destructive implications, but also create noise and vibration, and lead to decreased pump performance, serious interruption of liquid pump will not work properly.
Second, the basic relationship pump cavitation
Pump cavitation condition that the pump suction device itself and the two decisions. Therefore, studying the conditions of cavitation, the pump itself and the inhalation device from both sides to consider, pump cavitation is the basic relationship
