What is the minimum continuous flow of a pump?

What is the minimum continuous flow of a pump?

Answer:

At'-- the allowable temperature rise of pumping medium,C- pumping medium specific heat, kj/ (kg DEG C);Ho- off dead center lift, M.Minimum continuous flow minimum continuous stable flow and minimum continuous thermal flow and the maximum value in the selection, or use the pump process, the minimum continuous flow process requirements must be greater than the minimum flow rate of the pump, otherwise it will cause the pump cavitation, vibration and noise, so that the pump parts damaged. If the minimum continuous flow the pump can not meet the minimum requirement's process, can install the bypass reflux device or reflux system in the pump pipeline, to ensure that the minimum continuous flow pump.
The minimum continuous steady flow can be obtained by test and, in general, the pump supplier will indicate(2) minimum continuous heat limited flow (.API) provides minimum continuous heat limit flow, which means the minimum continuous flow that the pump can maintain and that its operation is not impaired by the temperature rise of the liquid being pumpedMinimum continuous heat limited flow can be calculatedIn the formula, the Pe amount of the fixed axis power is.KW;P pump medium density, kg / m3;
Quality solutionsMinimum flow of pump, minimum continuous flow of pumpIn order to ensure the proper use of the pump and the normal operation of the pump manufacturer will indicate the minimum pump in the sample of the continuous operation flow, the correct selection or use to warn or instruct users. According to the provisions of the API standard, the minimum continuous flow into the minimum continuous stable flow and continuous flow. Most small thermal limit(1) the minimum continuous stable flow.API standard specifies the minimum continuous stable flow refers to the vibration limit does not exceed the standard set by the pump can work normally. The minimum flow pump at small flow rate, there will be noise and vibration increase, API of this provision is to ensure that the service life of the pump, avoid due to improper operation of the pump caused by the adverse effects.
