Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of centrifugal pump measurement and control method, and particularly relates to a centrifugal pump performance prediction method based on an improved QP model, which is mainly used for quickly and accurately predicting the flow and lift parameters of a centrifugal pump, and real-time monitoring the running state of the centrifugal pump under the condition of no flow and pressure sensors, so as to effectively ensure the safety and reliability of equipment operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] The safe and efficient operation of a centrifugal pump system not only helps to prolong the service life of the equipment, but also effectively reduces energy consumption, and effective state monitoring is the key to guaranteeing the safe and efficient operation. However, due to the limitation of space and cost, it is difficult to monitor the running state of the centrifugal pump through flow and pressure sensors. To solve this problem, some researchers have proposed a centrifugal pump flow prediction method based on power and pressure difference CN201410538240.7, which predicts the flow of the centrifugal pump based on a centrifugal pump flow prediction mathematical model through the calculation and measurement of the torque and pressure difference of the centrifugal pump. However, this method has certain defects in the selection of the prediction model and the accuracy of flow prediction. On this basis, researchers have proposed a pump and fan performance prediction method based on uncertainty analysis CN201910930803.X, which obtains the flow-pressure difference and flow-power performance curves of the pump and fan, adopts a segmented flow-pressure difference prediction model and a flow-power prediction model for the performance curves that are not monotonously changed, and realizes the prediction of the flow by combining uncertainty analysis. However, this method has poor prediction effect for the running data of the centrifugal pump with greater volatility.

[0003] The existing flow sensor-free centrifugal pump performance prediction method has the following shortcomings: 1) the traditional centrifugal pump flow prediction method has no obvious effect in the non-centrifugal pump optimal working area, and it is difficult to form effective prediction; 2) the prediction model is difficult to be implanted into a hardware device.
