Definitions

  • the invention relates to a centrifugal pump, with a free-flow impeller mounted in a housing, wherein between a suction-side housing wall and the vortex impeller a blade-less space is arranged and the centrifugal pump is provided with a device for preventing the tearing of the flow, wherein at the suction-side housing wall at least one, in the blade-free space above, one or more parts, flow-influencing means is arranged.
  • the invention is based on the problem of providing a centrifugal pump with better conveying properties in the case of pumped media with constituents which tend to block.
  • the flow-influencing means is provided with at least one tear means.
  • tearing-prone conveyance components are torn on their way from the pump inlet through the pump housing when passing the flow-influencing means or while sweeping past the same.
  • tipping-prone conveyor components lay in front of the impeller, as is the case for example with rags or nonwovens, such conveyor components are due to the rotation and the consequent Tear marks on the flow-influencing agent in a short time torn.
  • a pigtail is thus prevented in a simple manner and torn parts are easily promoted by the pump outlet or discharge nozzle.
  • a further embodiment according to which the flow-influencing agent is provided with sharp edges and / or hardened edges, improves the effect and increases the long-term stability.
  • the flow-influencing means is arranged in the region of a suction opening in an arcuate manner on a partial circumference as a rib extending in the circumferential direction.
  • one or more tear means are arranged in the region of the contact lines of mutually different diameters and arranged in the blade-less space of mutually facing rib surfaces.
  • the flow-influencing means may have tearing means at its inner diameter and / or at its outer diameter. These can be incorporated by material removal from a rib body, for example by milling. A two-sided arrangement of tear means on a rib has proven to be particularly useful in experiments.
  • the flow-influencing agent has tear points and / or tear points.
  • the tear points and / or the tear points can be formed by edges arranged at an angle to one another.
  • the edge regions of a flow-influencing means are provided with a toothing.
  • tear agents or fangs such as pointed fangs and / or fangs, which are formed in its outer region by an edge and thereby flattened.

  • the side of the flow-influencing means facing the impeller forms a planar surface.
  • a continuous zone results in a central region of the flow-influencing means such that catching of a solid conveying component, such as a lobe, is prevented.
  • the flow-influencing means are provided with means of removal, which protrude into the blade-less space.
  • These may be, for example, pins, inserts or similar tear means, which are attached for example by screwing or clamping with the flow-influencing means.
  • an arc-shaped flow-influencing means has a maximum extension corresponding to 180 degrees of the housing circumference.
  • a maximum extension corresponding to 180 degrees of the housing circumference.
  • the flow-influencing means may have tapered contour curves. Such chamfers, which are particularly useful on the flow-facing side of a flow-influencing agent prevent laying a solid delivery component on the flow-influencing means.
  • the suction-side housing wall and the flow-influencing means may be formed as part of a housing cover. This allows, if necessary, a conversion of an existing free-flow pump and a quick and easy replacement of a housing cover. Thus, a centrifugal pump can also be retrofitted easily to an operation with tipping prone conveying fluids.
  • the flow-influencing means is releasably secured.
  • a centrifugal pump can therefore only be equipped with a flow-flowing means with tear means when needed. This is given by the releasable attachment a problem-free case by case adaptation to the respective counselkeitszusammen deren.
  • Various shapes and / or mounting positions have proven successful in practical experiments.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a centrifugal pump 1 for the promotion of a with tipping prone conveyor components interspersed delivery fluid.
  • the centrifugal pump 1 has a freely rotating impeller 3 arranged in a housing 2 with impeller blades 4, which is connected to a drive shaft 5. Between a suction-side housing wall 6 and the free-flow impeller 3, a blade-less space 7 is arranged.
  • the centrifugal pump 1 is connected to a - not shown here - discharge nozzle to a pipeline. Via a suction opening 9, the pumped liquid flows to the pump and it could also be connected to a - not shown here - suction line.
  • the impeller blades 4 opposite to the suction-side housing wall 6, a flow-influencing means 10 is arranged. In this case, a predominant part of the suction-side housing wall 6 is formed in this embodiment by a removable suction-side housing cover 11, with which the - here integrally formed - flow-influencing means 10 is connected.
  • the flow-influencing means 10 is here provided with a plurality of tear means 21, 23 in the form of sharp edges, tear points, tear points, various recesses and / or undercuts.
  • the flow-influencing means 10 and the tear means 21, 23 may have different shapes. Feeding-prone conveying components are torn by the tearing means 21, 23 in operation of the centrifugal pump 1 and crushed such that a promotion of the same through the pump outlet or discharge nozzle is possible.
