Cavitation phenomenon of liquid ring vacuum pump
When the liquid ring
vacuum pump is working, at a certain temperature, when the liquid pressure at
the low pressure is lower than the vaporization pressure (i.e. saturated steam
pressure) at that temperature, the liquid starts to vaporize and generate
bubbles. When the liquid enters the high pressure area, the bubbles break, and
the surrounding liquid quickly fills the original bubble holes, generating
hydraulic impact. The generation, development and rupture of bubbles are called
cavitation.
In the working process of the liquid ring vacuum pump, the
absolute pressure of the suction area is consistent with the absolute pressure
of the pumped system. In other words, the higher the vacuum degree of the system
being pumped, the higher the vacuum degree of the suction area.
Liquid
ring vacuum pump needs liquid as working medium. Each liquid has a corresponding
saturated vapor pressure at a certain temperature. When the absolute pressure in
the suction area is closer to the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid, the
liquid is closer to boiling state. At this time, there will be a large number of
bubbles on the surface of the working fluid in the suction area. Because the
working fluid steam generated by the liquid in the working cavity will occupy
part of the working cavity space, the external suction capacity of the pump will
be reduced. When the pressure in the suction area reaches the saturated steam
pressure of the working liquid, it can be considered that the working cavity is
full of working liquid steam. At this time, the suction capacity of the pump is
close to 0, and the cavitation phenomenon of the pump is the most serious.
If the working fluid is water, the higher the water temperature is, the
more the pumping performance of the pump will decline. The influence of water
temperature on the pumping rate of water ring vacuum pump
The principle
of cavitation damage of liquid ring pump is the same as that of centrifugal
pump. It is at the place where bubbles are produced and broken. Pitting occurs
on the metal surface and honeycomb damage will occur seriously. If there is a
large residual stress in the cavitation part of the vacuum pump impeller, it
will cause stress release and crack.
Because of the pump cavitation, the
bubble in the high-pressure area of continuous sudden rupture, and accompanied
by a strong water hammer, resulting in noise and vibration. You can hear the
crackling like peas. The experimental results show that the vibration frequency
range is 600-25000hz and the pressure is 49MPa.
