Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suction diffuser. It is intended particularly but not exclusively for use in liquid pumping systems where the pump is of the centrifugal type.
  • a prior solution to this arrangement is to replace the long sweeping bend with a compact 90°fitting and simultaneously, incorporate the strainer valve element in the fitting. Providing flow straighteners in the outlet port of the fitting to the inlet of the pump compensates for the absence of the long sweeping bend.
  • the cylindrical strainer element is positioned co-axially and horizontally with the bore of the pump inlet. Liquid flow enters the fitting vertically downwards and passes through the strainer element from the outside surface to the inside and then into the pump.
  • the strainer element is cylindrical and is coaxially arranged with the inlet of the strainer.
  • Flow straighteners may be fitted between the strainer element and the pump.
  • a drain is provided in the strainer to enable material collected by the element to be removed from the strainer.
  • the drain may comprise a plug arranged coaxial with or parallel to the strainer element.
  • Magnets may be provided to facilitate removal of magnetic material.
  • the strainer housing advantageously comprises a removable cover to enable access to the strainer element.
  • the strainer element may be provided with handles to facilitate insertion into and removal from the strainer housing.
  • the strainer may be provided with a support to alleviate strain on the body of the pump.
  • FIG. 1 diagrammatically shows a known suction diffuser arrangement
  • FIG. 2 shows a further known suction diffuser arrangement
  • FIG. 3 shows a suction diffuser arrangement according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 1 illustrates the first prior art arrangement referred to in the introductory part of the specification.
  • a strainer 1 is disposed upstream of a centrifugal pump 3 and is connected to that pump via a length of pipe incorporating a long sweeping bend 2 .
  • Liquid enters via a flow inlet 4 to the strainer 1 and exists via outlet 5 from the centrifugal pump.
  • This arrangement is disadvantageous because it occupies a large amount of space.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the second prior art arrangement referred to in the introductory part of the specification.
  • the long sweeping bend 2 of the arrangement of FIG. 1 has been replaced by a compact 90°fitting 6 in which the strainer comprising a strainer element 7 is fitted.
  • Flow straighteners 8 compensate for the absence of the bend.
  • the disadvantage here is that material 9 accumulates in the restricted space 10 between the strainer element of the housing surrounding it restricting flow.
  • cylindrical strainer element 11 is arranged within the housing 12 (in the form of a 90°fitting) of the strainer with its axis in line with the direction of inlet flow into the strainer (in this case vertical).
  • the incoming (contaminated) liquid therefore flows first into the interior of the cylindrical strainer element 11 and then out through the element to the exterior of the element in the direction of arrows 13 .
  • Particles suspended in the liquid are retained within the cylindrical element where there is more space and sink to the base of the element at 14 where they may be removed via a drain plug 15 in the strainer housing 12 .
  • the plug 15 may be disposed coaxial with or parallel to the axis of the element 11 . Collected particles may be blown out and magnets may be provided to assist in the removal of metal particles.
  • Flow straighteners 16 are disposed adjacent the inlet of the centrifugal pump 3 .
  • a bolted cover 17 is attached to the strainer housing 12 .
  • the element 11 is fitted with handles 19 for ease of inserting and removal. This enables “start up” elements to be fitted and removed after commissioning a system.
  • a pipe support 18 is provided on the base of the device to alleviate any strain on the body of the centrifugal pump 3 . With the above described arrangement a much greater space is provided for the collection of material and its removal is facilitated. The restricted space between the strainer element and surrounding strainer body is kept free of the material thus avoiding any resultant restriction of the flow.
