Working principle of multi-stage centrifugal pump
Multistage centrifugal pumpIt is a type of pump that increases the lift by connecting multiple impellers in series. It is widely used in situations that require high lift, such as water supply for high-rise buildings, boiler water supply, mine drainage, etc.
The following is detailed data and explanations of multi-stage centrifugal pump model descriptions:
1.Multistage centrifugal pumpThe basic structure of
1.1 Pump body
- Material: Cast iron, stainless steel, bronze, etc.
- design: Usually a horizontally split structure for easy maintenance and repair.
1.2 Impeller
- Material: Cast iron, stainless steel, bronze, etc.
- design: Multiple impellers are arranged in series, and each impeller increases a certain lift.
1.3 Pump shaft
- Material: High strength steel or stainless steel.
- Function: Connect the motor and impeller to transmit power.
1.4 Sealing device
- type: Mechanical seal or packing seal.
- Function: Prevent liquid leakage.
1.5 Bearings
- type: Rolling bearing or sliding bearing.
- Function: Supports the pump shaft and reduces friction.
2.Multistage centrifugal pumpworking principle
Multistage centrifugal pumpworking principle andSingle stage centrifugal pumpSimilar, but with multiple impellers connected in series to increase the head. The liquid is sucked in from the first stage impeller, accelerated and pressurized by each stage impeller, and finally reaches the required high lift.
2.1 Liquid enters the pump body
- Water inlet method: Liquid enters the pump body through the inlet pipe, usually through the suction pipe and suction valve.
- Water inlet diameter: Determined based on pump specifications and design requirements.
2.2 Impeller accelerates liquid
- Impeller speed: Typically at 1450 RPM or 2900 RPM (revolutions per minute), depending on pump design and application.
- centrifugal force: The impeller rotates at high speed driven by the motor, and the liquid is accelerated by the centrifugal force.
2.3 Liquid flows to the outside of the pump body
- Runner design: The accelerated liquid flows outward along the flow channel of the impeller and enters the volute part of the pump body.
- Volute design: The design of the volute helps convert the kinetic energy of the liquid into pressure energy.
2.4 Liquid discharged from pump body
- Water outlet method: The liquid is further decelerated in the volute and converted into pressure energy, and is discharged from the pump body through the water outlet pipe.
- Outlet diameter:according topumpspecifications and design requirements.
