The slurry pump belongs to a kind of centrifugal pump in terms of physical principles. Conceptually, it refers to a machine that increases the energy of the solid and liquid mixed medium through the action of centrifugal force (the rotation of the impeller of the pump). A device for the kinetic and potential energy of a medium. The name of the slurry pump is a centrifugal pump from the perspective of conveying medium.
2. The relationship between centrifugal pump and slurry pump
The centrifugal concept is originally from the pump. There are many kinds of pumps, which can be divided into dozens of categories according to different angles. The centrifugal pump is divided from the working principle of the pump, which is the process of pressurizing the conveying medium through the action of centrifugal force. In addition, there are common types including the screw principle, the plunger principle, etc., which can be divided into pumps that are different from the centrifugal principle.
After talking about the concept of centrifugal pump, let's talk about the slurry pump. The slurry pump is divided from another angle, that is, it is divided from the conveying medium. As the name implies, the slurry pump conveys a mixture of solid particles containing dregs and water. But in principle, the slurry pump is a kind of centrifugal pump. This makes these two concepts clear.
3. The main working parts of the slurry pump
The main working parts of the slurry pump are the impeller and the casing. The impeller device in the casing is located on the shaft and is connected with the prime mover to form a whole. When the prime mover drives the impeller to rotate, the vanes in the impeller force the fluid to rotate, that is, the vanes do work on the fluid along its moving direction, thereby forcing the fluid's pressure potential energy and kinetic energy to increase.
At the same time, under the action of inertial force, the fluid flows from the middle to the edge of the impeller, and flows out of the impeller at a high speed, enters the pressure chamber, and then is discharged through the diffuser. This process is called the water pressure process.
At the same time, because the fluid in the middle of the impeller flows to the edge, a low pressure area is formed in the middle of the impeller. When it has enough vacuum, under the action of the suction end pressure (usually atmospheric pressure), the fluid enters the impeller through the suction chamber. This process is called Water absorption process. Due to the continuous rotation of the impeller, the fluid is continuously discharged and sucked to form a continuous work.
The working process of centrifugal pumps (including slurry pumps) is actually a process of energy transfer and conversion. It transfers the mechanical energy of the high-speed rotation of the motor through the blades of the pump and converts it into the pressure energy and kinetic energy of the pumped fluid.
