Effects of the Balance Hole Diameter on the Flow Characteristics of the Rear Chamber and the Disk Friction Loss in the Centrifugal Pump
This paper studies the flow characteristics and disk friction loss of the rear chamber in a centrifugal pump at a design flow condition with six values of the balance holes at diameters from 0 to 12 mm. The results show that the turbulent boundary layer in the rear chamber is greatly affected by the leakage flow. When the balance hole diameter increases, the flow characteristics of the rear chamber is mainly restricted by the mainstream flow field of the volute. However, when the balance hole diameter is larger than the design value, the disk friction loss of the rear chamber remains basically unchanged. On the contrary, when the balance hole diameter is smaller than the design value, the larger the balance hole diameter the smaller the friction loss of the disk in the rear chamber area. The results of this paper provide a reference for reducing axial force and stable operation of a centrifugal pump.
