1, the cavitation
Liquid under certain temperature, reduce the pressure to the temperature of evaporation pressure, liquid to produce bubbles. The bubble phenomenon called cavitation.
2, cavitation breaking
Generated when the cavitation bubbles, the flow to the high pressure, the volume decreased so that the burst. This disappeared due to the increasing pressure of bubble in a liquid is called cavitation phenomenon of breaking.
3, the causes of cavitation and the hazards
Pump in operation, if the flow of local area (usually the impeller inlet somewhere later) for some reason, reduced to the absolute pressure of pumping liquid temperature of liquid pressure, liquid at the begin to boil, to produce a large amount of steam, bubble formation, when the liquid containing a large number of bubbles within the impeller forward high, bubble around the high pressure liquid bubble dramatically narrow and fracture. Condensed during the bubble burst at the same time, the liquid particle filling holes at high speeds, in this moment of very strong water hammer effect, and with the impact of the high frequency on metal surface impact stress can amount to several hundred to several thousand atmospheric pressure, impact frequency up to tens of thousands of times per second, serious when wall thickness breakdown.
4, the cavitation process
Bubbles and bubbles burst in pump flow components to damage is the process of water pump cavitation in the process. In addition to the right after produce cavitation flow pump parts will produce damage outside, still can produce noise and vibration, and resulting in a decline in the performance of the pump, serious interruption of liquid in the pump, when not working. |
