Water pump cavitation testing method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a water pump cavitation testing method. Curve fitting is conducted through pump automation measurement and control system software, a pump performance curve is obtained, and then a corresponding full-condition cavitation distinguishing curve is obtained; starting from a small-flow operating point, pump operating conditions are adjusted to corresponding operating points, pump inlet conditions are initialized, test data are compared with performance test data, and after the requirement for repeatability is met, a cavitation test is started, and the test data are recorded; next, the pump inlet conditions are changed, test data points are recorded in real time, and a test curve is subjected to fitting; whether cavitation happens under indefinite conditions is judged, wherein if cavitation happens, an actual cavitation operating point and cavitation data under the condition are obtained through a graphing method, and the cavitation test is carried out at the next operating point; after the cavitation test is completed, a pump flow-NPSH curve is obtained, and then the cavitation data of the operating point which needs determining are obtained through the graphing method. The invention further discloses a water pump cavitation testing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of water pump cavitation performance test, in particular to a water pump cavitation test method and device. Background technique [0002] During the operation of the pump, at the local low pressure in the impeller flow channel (usually located somewhere behind the inlet on the back of the impeller), the absolute pressure of the delivered liquid is lower than the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid at the temperature for some reason, so that This causes the liquid to vaporize, and a large number of microbubbles grow explosively. The microbubbles rapidly grow into large bubbles and collapse with the liquid flow to the high pressure in the pump, which impacts the wall surface of the flow channel up to hundreds of atmospheres, resulting in the denudation of the wall surface material of the flow channel. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When cavitation occurs, a large number of bubbles "block" the flow channel, ch...
