Hydraulic design and pre-whirl regulation law of inlet guide vane for centrifugal pump

A new hydraulic design method of three-dimensional guide vane for centrifugal pump is proposed on the assumption that the fluid at the outlet of guide vane satisfies the uniform velocity moment condition.The geometry of blade is controlled by the distributed rule of blade angles along the meridional streamline which is described by a fourth-order polynomial.Experiment results demonstrate that the designed guide vane can overcome the drawback of two-dimensional guide vane,enlarge the high efficiency scope and improve the hydraulic performance of centrifugal pump on the off-design operation conditions.In comparison with the performance of the centrifugal pump without inlet guide vane,the peak value of efficiency can be enhanced by 2.13% after the three-dimensional guide vane was being installed.The three-dimensional entire flow field of the centrifugal pump with inlet guide vane is simulated,and the basic principle and mechanism of inlet guide vane pre-whirl regulation are analyzed.The validity of design method has been proved.

预旋调节对离心泵空化影响的试验与数值模拟

为探究前置导叶不同预旋角度对离心泵空化性能的影响规律,对带有自主设计前置导叶的IS 150-125-250型离心泵进行了空化性能试验,选用Zwart-Gerber-Belamri空化模型进行3D非稳态全流道空化流动数值模拟,结果表明:在一定的角度范围内,负预旋调节可以改善离心泵的空化性能,但超过某一角度后,空化性能将快速恶化;正预旋调节会恶化离心泵的空化性能,正预旋角度越大,恶化程度越明显。对不同预旋角度下叶轮内空泡率分布规律的分析发现,一定范围内的负预旋角会减小叶轮内空化区域,正预旋会增大叶轮内空化区域。

离心泵前置导叶设计与试验

借鉴传统风机前置导叶调节的经验,并针对其采用的二维翼型在叶片轮毂处由于翼型弦长较短对流体控制能力较差的缺陷,提出一种全新的适用于离心泵前置导叶预旋调节的空间导叶水力设计方法,该方法假定前置导叶出口的流体满足等速度矩条件,通过四次分布函数给定叶片安放角沿轴面流线的分布规律来控制叶片的空间形状,采用逐点积分法进行叶片骨线绘型,在圆柱展开面上对叶片骨线双面加厚完成三维空间导叶的水力设计。在此基础上,将该导叶应用于某离心泵,并对其在不同轴向位置和不同预旋角下进行了性能试验。结果表明:三维导叶能够有效拓宽离心泵的高效运行范围,改善其在非设计工况下的水力性能,且与无前置导叶工况相比,最高效率可提高2.0%,从而达到为离心泵增效节能的目的。
