What is the back pressure of a screw pump?

2017-02-09View Original

Thread Content

Is back pressure the same as inlet pressure? Why does the discharge pressure of a screw pump depend on its back pressure?

Back pressure is the pressure behind the pump, and it is related to the target pressure and pipeline resistance

This is because screw pumps have a discharge pressure; when the back pressure is higher than or around this value, a large amount of material will flow back through the gap between the stator and the rotor. That’s roughly how it works

Back pressure refers to the pressure in the backflow system; too high back pressure can easily cause congestion
