The main objective was to study feasibility of a pumping model for underground water. In this model, a heater installed within the heat tank represented sources of waste heat as energy input for finding appropriate conditions of the 10 L pump model. The system operation had five stages： heating, pumping, vapor flow, cooling, and water suction. The overall water heads of 3, 4.5, 6 and 7.5 m were tested. At the same time, it was found that the pump with 50% air volume is sufficient for pumping water to a desired level. In the experiment, the temperatures in the heating and pumping stages were 100-103 ℃and 80-90 ℃, respectively. The pressure in the pumping stage was 12-18 kPa, and the pressure in the suction stage was about-80 kPa, sufficient for the best performance. It could pump 170 L of water at a 2 m suction head, 120 L at a 3.5 m suction head, 100 L at a 5 m suction head, and 65 L at a 6.5 m suction head in 2 h. A mathematical model for larger pumps was also presented, which operates nearly the same as the present system. Economic analysis of the 10 L pump was also included.展开更多
文摘为研究闭式试验台试验过程中水泵装置模型各参数的变化规律和特征,采用物理模拟试验的方法,在水泵立式试验台上对某泵站模型泵进行性能试验.通过在稳定转速的条件下逐步减小流量,同时采集装置进出口前后即试验台上下游处的平均压力以及水泵运行时其他工况各参数,分析了试验过程中水泵装置模型的进出口前后的压力及其轴功率变化过程,探讨了试验系统在向稳定工况过渡过程中,水泵及系统内部各工况的变化情况.试验结果表明:在整个过渡过程中,水泵进口前的压力波动不大,相对稳定;出口后的压力在初始阶段呈上升趋势波动,波动幅度较大,经过一段时间后,也趋于相对稳定;轴功率的变化与出口后的压力波动类似,初始阶段波动较大,但变化明显,随着时间的延续,逐渐趋于稳定;过渡过程持续时间大于90 s.
