Regarding the pulp pump impeller
Thread Content
Can the impeller of the slurry pump be changed from four blades to six blades? And what impact do they have on the performance of the pump? Thank you!
Is there anything that doesn’t work? Has the flow channel become too narrow?
It should work, I wonder if the current will be a bit high
It can be used. This type of impeller already has low efficiency, so it doesn’t matter.
Regarding the technical upgrade of this device, it should not be possible. Because such equipment has, from the outset of its design, had its rotor speed, load, and appropriate specifications for related materials thoroughly validated. There is some design margin. However, just the fact of adding weight to the rotor without going through a design review makes it unfeasible. This also includes the load-bearing capacity of the bearings, etc. It’s mechanical. From a process perspective, there are also considerations such as whether the flow of fluid within the rotor is in an optimal state. Specifically, as for whether it can be used after the restructuring, it can only be described as an experiment. It’s great if nothing goes wrong; it’s also fine if the equipment gets damaged and no one is held accountable. If you’re responsible, it’s best to pass the responsibility on to the manufacturer.
