Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to fluid machines and more particularly to a pump and a diffuser for the pump, the axis of the diffuser being arranged tangentially relative to the circle defined by the tips of the pump impeller blades on rotation thereof.
  • the present invention relates to a pump including a casing defining a cylindrical chamber, an inlet passage co-axial with the axis of the chamber, a radial-bladed impeller rotatable about the axis of the chamber, and an outlet passage extending tangentially from the periphery of the chamber, such pump being referred to hereinafter as a pump of the type aforesaid.
  • a pump of the type aforesaid having, for an outlet passage, a diffuser comprising a substantially cylindrical passage in communication with the pump casing, a diffusing section downstream of said cylindrical passage, said section being divergent in the direction of fluid flow, and an intermediate section convergent in the direction of fluid flow and having a convex periphery, the intersection of said intermediate section and said diffusing section defining a throat.
  • a diffuser having a substantially cylindrical passage, a diffusing section divergent in the direction of fluid flow and downstream of said passage, and an intermediate section convergent in the direction of fluid flow and having a convex periphery, the intersection of said intermediate section and said diffusing section defining a throat.
  • FIG. 1 is a sectional perspective view of a pump
  • the pump 10 includes a casing 13 defining a cylindrical chamber 14 into which leads an inlet passage 15 for fluid to be pumped, this passage being co-axial with the axis of the chamber 10.
  • a fluid outlet passage in the form of a diffuser 16 extends tangentially from the periphery of the chamber 14 within which is housed a radial-bladed impeller 17 carried on a shaft 18 which is co-axial with the axis of the chamber.
  • Oil sealing of the gear box 11 is effected by a lip seal (not shown) on the motor shaft and a mechanical seal 47 on the shaft 18.
  • a similar seal 48 acts as a water seal between the pump and the gear box.
  • Contact rings 49 are also provided on the shaft 18.
  • fluid to be pumped is drawn through the inlet passage 15 by the induction impeller 43 which rotates with the impeller 17, the fluid then passing into the chamber 14.
  • the fluid is rotated until it reaches the periphery of the chamber where it enters the recess 19 of the diffuser l6 and then passes through the intermediate section 21 into the diffusing section 20 where most of the kinetic energy imparted to it is converted to pressure energy.
  • the diffuser 16 is so shaped that a falling head/flow characteristic is obtained as the pump out-put increases from zero to a predetermined level.
  • the head delivered by the pump may be varied by changing the diameter of the impeller and a running clearance of one-sixteenth inch or more between the impeller blades and the casing has been found to give acceptable performance.
  • the pump is intended to operate at impeller speeds of up to 18,000 r.p.m. and the induction means is provided to inhibit cavitation at such speeds with low-pressure incoming fluid.
  • Pumps as described above are intended for use in boiler feed applications and mobile and fixed cleaning installations such as an automatic car wash and other general pumping duties.
