Answer: The phenomenon in which a centrifugal pump is unable to transport liquid after starting, due to incomplete exhaust and the presence of gas inside the pump, is known as gas locking. 2017 Coal Chemical Industry: “My Technical Upgrades” (Large Prizes Available) – Powered by Discuz! http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1786290-1-1.html
Air binding refers to the phenomenon where, when a centrifugal pump is started, if there is air inside the pump, the low density of air results in a weak centrifugal force generated upon rotation; as a result, the low pressure created in the center of the impeller is not sufficient to draw liquid from the storage tank into the pump, and thus the pump cannot transport liquid even though it has been started.
When a centrifugal pump is started, if there is air inside the pump, the density of air is relatively low compared to that of the liquid being transported; as a result, the centrifugal force generated by rotation is weak. The low pressure created in the center area of the impeller is not sufficient to draw liquid into the pump, so even though the pump is started, it cannot transport liquid. This phenomenon is known as gas entrapment in centrifugal pumps. The gas binding phenomenon indicates that a centrifugal pump does not have self-priming capability; therefore, the pump casing must be filled with liquid before starting. The term \"gas binding\" generally refers to the cavitation phenomenon in centrifugal pumps
The phenomenon in which a centrifugal pump is unable to transport liquid after starting due to the presence of gas inside the pump as a result of incomplete exhaust is known as gas locking.
Since the density of gas is lower than that of liquid, when there is gas inside the pump or in the inlet piping, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller is not sufficient to create the vacuum level required to draw in liquid, resulting in the pump’s inability to draw in liquid; this phenomenon is known as \"gas lockout\"”
Air binding refers to the phenomenon where, when a centrifugal pump is started, if there is air inside the pump, the low density of air results in a weak centrifugal force generated upon rotation; as a result, the low pressure created in the center of the impeller is not sufficient to draw liquid from the storage tank into the pump, and thus the pump cannot transport liquid even though it has been started.
Air locking occurs when, after a centrifugal pump is started, air is present inside the pump and its density is very low; as a result, the centrifugal force generated by rotation is weak, and the low pressure created in the center of the impeller is not sufficient to draw liquid from the storage tank into the pump. Thus, even though the pump has been started, it is unable to transport liquid. This indicates that the centrifugal pump does not have self-priming capability, and it is necessary to fill the pump chamber with liquid before starting it.
When a pump is started, air is present inside it. Since the density of air is much lower than that of liquid, when the impeller starts rotating, the centrifugal force generated by the air is also very small. As a result, there is little vacuum at the center of the impeller, which prevents the liquid from being drawn to that area; consequently, the pump cannot pump out liquid. The pump then experiences severe vibration, along with loud, harsh noises. This phenomenon is known as air locking.
When a centrifugal pump is in operation, if the pump is not filled with liquid or air gets into it during operation, the density of air being much lower than that of liquid results in a weaker centrifugal force. This leads to a low vacuum level at the pump’s suction inlet, which is not sufficient to draw liquid into the pump. At this point, although the impeller is rotating, it is unable to transport the liquid; this phenomenon is known as \"air locking\".
If there is no exhaust before starting, gas remains inside the pump casing. Since the density of gas is lower than that of liquid, the centrifugal force generated by the pump is reduced, resulting in low pressure at the inlet and making it difficult to draw liquid into the pump. As a result, the liquid cannot be transported, and the gas is not completely expelled; when the pump starts, the liquid contains gas, a phenomenon known as gas entrapment.
