This invention discloses a
cavitation protection system and method for a feedwater pump set, comprising a main thermal
system, a bypass
system, a micro-flow field
actuator, and an
intelligent control center. The
intelligent control center calculates the
deaerator pressure change rate. When the rate is less than the feedforward trigger threshold, it drives a high-frequency
servo solenoid valve to open. High-pressure fluid is accelerated through a micro-contraction
nozzle to form a fluid micro-jet, flowing along the asymmetric Coanda wall-attached rectifying surface. This injects
momentum into the fluid boundary layer of the first-stage
impeller suction surface, increasing the local static pressure of the fluid to exceed the saturated
vapor pressure. This
pressure difference physically compresses the micro-
vaporization nuclei, inhibiting the formation of
macro-
cavitation cavitation bubbles. The control
hysteresis loop interval is used to suppress frequent start-stop of the
actuator. This invention achieves the destruction of the physical
critical condition for the
volume expansion of
vaporization nuclei, utilizes a positive suppression
pressure difference to compress the volume of micro-
vaporization nuclei, thereby blocking the formation of
macro-cavitation cavitation bubbles and maintaining continuous
liquid phase flow in the
impeller, thus providing cavitation protection.
