How to solve the cavitation phenomenon in slurry pumps?

It is an inherent property of liquids that boiling vaporization occurs when the pressure of the liquid drops below the saturation gas pressure at a given temperature. The saturation air pressure is constant at a given temperature and increases as the temperature rises.

For slurry pumps such as centrifugal pumps, reducing the pressure of the suction port is the key to making the liquid smoothly into the pump. When the suction port pressure is lower than the saturated air pressure corresponding to the water temperature, the suction liquid will be vaporized. The bubbles produced by vaporization will collect in the lower pressure area inside the slurry pump, i.e., the back of the vanes above the impeller inlet. With the flow of the surrounding liquid, these bubbles will produce noise and vibration due to the impact of the liquid, long-term so may lead to impeller spalling and damage.

Usually, the measures to solve the vapor corrosion phenomenon include:
1. Control the pressure of the suction liquid level to avoid the liquid level pressure is too low.
2. Adjust the flow rate of the suction port to ensure that the slurry pump operates at the specified flow rate.
3. appropriately reduce the installation height of the slurry pump.
4. Make sure the suction valve is fully open and clean the screen regularly.

How much does it cost to buy a slurry pump

The price of slurry pumps can be affected by a variety of factors, so it is difficult to give an exact figure. Generally speaking, the price of slurry pumps will vary according to the following factors: Factors affecting the price of slurry pumps Pump type and specifications: flow, head, caliber, material and other parameters are different, the price will also have a big difference. Pump material: slurry pump contact medium corrosive different, the material selected is different, thus affecting the price. Common materials are cast iron, stainless steel, wear-resistant alloy. Pump brand: different brands of pumps, its technical level, quality, after-sales service and so on there are differences, the price will naturally be different. Pump configuration: pump configuration, such as motor, control system, seals, etc., will also affect the price. Purchase Quantity: Bulk purchases are usually discounted to a certain extent. Market conditions: Fluctuations in the price of raw materials...

How to replace the impeller of a slurry pump

The impeller of the slurry pump is a wearing part, which needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. The process of replacing the impeller is relatively complex and requires certain specialized knowledge and skills. The following are the steps for replacing the impeller of the slurry pump: 1. Preparation Shut down and disconnect the power: Before any operation, be sure to cut off the power supply to ensure safety. Preparation tools: ready wrenches, screwdrivers, gaskets, new impeller and so on. Drain: Empty the pump. Protective measures: Wear protective gloves, safety glasses and other protective equipment. 2. Disassembly Procedure DISASSEMBLY: Disassemble the suction and discharge pipes connected to the pump. Remove pump cover: Loosen the bolts securing the pump cover and carefully remove the cover. Remove the impeller: Loosen the nuts secure the impeller with a suitable tool and remove the impeller. 3. Install the new impeller Insp...
