Matching Optimization of Impeller and Volute for Double-Channel with Double-Suction Pump
In order to study the matching optimization of the impeller and volute as well as the flow characteristics of double-channel with double-suction pump ,this paper based on CFD performance prediction method uses the same impeller to match the volute with different base diameters, guaranteeing the volute inlet width, flow cross-sectional area, and tongue position unchanged .The calculation results show that scheme A with the largest volute base diameter can not only achieve the excellent energy characteristics and the velocity-pressure uniform distributions, but also the exchange of the fluid energy is more sufficient in the volute. On one hand, a large clearance can not only make the movement interference intensity weaken between the impeller and volute, but also can decrease the high frequency components of the pressure pulsations .On the other hand, the big gap can maximum exert the pump effects to convey liquids containing solid suspended particles as well as the fibrous suspended matters. The research can not only provide some references to further study on matching optimization of the impeller and volute but also can contribute to the hydraulic design of the impeller and volute.
