Description

An experimental setup and method for identifying cavitation in bladed pumps Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of experimental technology for identifying cavitation characteristics of blade pumps, and particularly relates to an experimental platform and experimental method for identifying cavitation in blade pumps. Background Technology

[0002] As a widely used fluid transport device, the vane pump plays a crucial role in various industries such as chemical, energy, and water conservancy. However, a common problem during its operation—cavitation—poses a serious threat to the overall performance of the pump. The cavitation mechanism of vane pumps mainly stems from the high-speed flow generated by the impeller rotation. When liquid is accelerated through the impeller inlet, the local pressure at the impeller inlet drops below the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid at the current temperature, causing a large number of tiny bubbles to escape from the liquid.

[0003] As these bubbles and fluid enter the high-pressure area, they rapidly contract and collapse. The energy released in this process erodes the pump's inner wall and blades in the form of shock waves, accompanied by severe vibration and noise. This phenomenon of bubble formation, growth, and collapse significantly reduces the pump's efficiency and reliability, and may cause premature wear or even failure of mechanical components, seriously affecting the pump's safe, stable operation and service life. Therefore, in order to detect cavitation phenomena in a timely manner, prevent and mitigate the negative impacts of cavitation, and ensure the long-term stable and efficient operation of vane pumps, real-time monitoring and accurate identification of cavitation conditions are extremely important.

[0053] Since n represents the frequency and intensity of the acoustic load of the loudspeaker 2, and the number of different sound pressure signals collected by pressure sensors I to VI (3 to 8) in the pipeline, n data sets can be obtained from the upstream inlet pipeline and the downstream outlet pipeline of the pump under test 1.

[0064] Finally, considering the case where gas overflows from the test pump 1, the sound velocity changes due to different media, and the transmission characteristics of sound pressure at the interface of different media change. As a result, the transmission characteristics of the test pump 1 will change significantly, that is, the sound pressure scattering matrix at the inlet and outlet ports of the test pump 1 will change. Therefore, the above monitoring system and experimental method can achieve real-time monitoring and accurate identification of cavitation state, and there is no need to disassemble or reassemble the test pump 1 and related pipelines during the process.
