Multistage Self-Priming Pump Performance Simulation & Test Research

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently the application of traditional centrifugal pump design theory to develop the multi-stage centrifugal pumps is very mature, but the factor of affecting hydraulic performance of centrifugal self-priming pump is still unclear. In this paper, using CFD method to simulate the hydraulic performance of the multistage self-priming pump in different operating conditions, and get the performance prediction curve. The simulation results were compared with experimental data, the result shows that simulation method can accurately predict the performance and internal flow characteristics of multi-stage self-priming pump. The impact on the hydraulic performance by water-keeper chamber and the gas-liquid separation chamber is very limited. The self-priming components can provide a better hydraulic performance. This will be as a reference for the design of self-priming pump.
