The working principle and characteristics of the lobe rotor pump
Cam rotor pump, as a fluid conveying technology, is a non-contact, rotary positive displacement pump. It is mainly composed of circular arc pump casing, rotor, front and rear plates, mechanical seals and synchronous gearboxes and other accessories. Its working principle is the same as that of a Roots blower. The two rotors move relative to each other under the drive of two parallel shafts. A continuous sealed cavity is formed between the rotor and the pump casing, and the medium filled in the cavity is continuously rotated by the rotor. Push from the end to the outlet end to complete the conveying of the medium. The rotor is divided into two types: straight tooth type and spiral type. The number of blades is 2, 3, 4 and 6 blades. Under the pressure of the rotor pump, the flow rate and the speed are strictly linear. Rotor pumps are widely used in water treatment, chemical industry, shipbuilding, food, petroleum, biogas and other fields due to their large flow, small size, and good characteristics. Especially in recent years, many screw pumps have been gradually replaced by cam rotor pumps in various sludge conveying system processes in the water treatment field.
The performance of the cam rotor pump is very stable, and the dehydrator system is operating normally; and the feed pump motor is changed from 30kW to 22kW to meet the process requirements, so the energy consumption is also reduced; at the same time, the pump frequency is about 45Hz at the pump’s large flow point. The rated frequency of the pump design is reached, so the performance of the pump is relatively stable. Due to the relatively large wear of the pump in the relatively high-pressure stage, it is recommended that the time under high-pressure working conditions should not exceed 60min to achieve a longer service life.
When designing the inlet and outlet pipelines of the lobe rotor pump, especially for the working conditions with relatively high pressure, try to use straight pipes at the inlet and outlet of the lobe rotor pump to avoid elbows, so that the pipeline vibration is less and more reasonable. Add piping piers and buttresses at elbows, tees, etc. to strengthen the pipe support, and at the same time add flexible joints at appropriate locations to resonate. This is a problem that needs to be paid attention to when the cam rotor pump is used in relatively high pressure conditions.
