Definitions

  • the present invention relates to various variants of a side channel pump having an impeller rotating in a housing, the impeller forming a plurality of cells separated by blades extending from a hub, which eccentrically sweep a side channel guided in the housing a suction line in the direction of rotation of the impeller extends radially around the hub up to a pressure line, and various methods for operating such a side channel pump.
  • a conventional, in the specific case two-stage, side channel pump is approximately from the DE 44 15 566 C2 previously known.
  • the principle of the side channel pump developed at the beginning of the twentieth century from the water ring pump and has been known so far for a long time. Their field of application is traditionally the smaller and medium flow rates.
  • the side channel pump has on a housing to a suction line and a pressure line, which are connected to each other via the side channel.
  • the side channel runs radially about a three-quarter turn around the hub of an impeller, the blades of the impeller off-center in the opposite to the path of the blades laterally offset, so engage eccentric side channel.
  • the present invention is based on the object to modify the side channel pump so that it can be used in other areas as well as pure conveying purposes in smaller and medium media flows meaningful.
  • This object is achieved by a side channel pump according to the features of claim 1, and the independent claim 2.
  • a useful embodiment of such side channel pumps can be found in the dependent claim 3.
  • this object solves a method for operating a side channel pump according to the features of the method claims 4 or 5, which in turn are further developed by the dependent claim 6.
  • this object also solves a method for operating a side channel pump according to the features of the further independent method claim. 7
  • a conventional side channel pump having an impeller and an eccentric side channel, which in turn extends from a suction line in the direction of flow to a pressure line. While the side channel around the impeller rotates once well over three quarters, occur axially adjacent to the impeller leakage flows at locations where the medium is not taken along itself. These run laterally along the hub of the impeller, as well as in the short area in the direction of rotation of the impeller after the pressure line and in front of the suction line.
  • the invention makes use of these leakage currents.
  • a negative pressure or an overpressure This can be made available via an additional connection, which is arranged in this leakage area.
  • an identical pressure on the pressure line as on the suction line can be generated by applying a common reservoir between the pressure line and the suction line from which a medium is fed into the suction line, the side channel pump passes through and again is conveyed via the pressure line into the reservoir.
  • the same pressure is applied to both lines, since this does not change as a result of the infeed and outfeed, and a negative pressure is established at the additional connection.
  • a negative pressure can be applied in any other system, the solution can be operated as a vacuum pump.
  • a use of the invention modified side channel pump as a metering pump is possible that at about the same pressure conditions in the Suction line and in the pressure line an additional medium via the additional connection is brought.
  • By precisely setting the pressure conditions via a valve on the pressure line it is possible to set how much of the additional medium is introduced into the interior of the modified side channel pump, so that an exact metering is possible.
  • the valve on the pressure line continues to be closed, the pressure in the pressure line rises and an imbalance arises.
  • the pressure in the side channel pump increases, the additional connection can now be used to sample the subsidized medium by depending on the valve position at the pressure line exits a smaller or larger amount of the pumped medium.
  • a valve can also be assigned to the additional connection or an additional line connected thereto in order to control the inflow or outflow via the additional connection.
  • FIG. 1 shows a modified according to the invention side channel pump 1, which in a housing 5 has a motor-driven, rotatably received impeller 2.
  • the impeller 2 substantially fills the housing 5, but also passes through a side channel 6 which is guided around the circumference of the impeller 2 in a semicircular manner in the housing 5 and is arranged eccentrically in the axial direction.
  • the medium to be delivered is introduced via a suction line 8 and guided around the impeller to a pressure line 9.
  • the impeller 2 rotates about an axis of rotation and has a hub 4, from which blades 3 radially forterumblen and thus form between them, the hub 4 and the housing 5 cells in which the medium is further promoted.
  • the side channel 6 does not close here to the full circumference of the impeller, but is interrupted in the direction of rotation of the impeller between the pressure line 9 and suction line 8. At this point, the side channel 6 goes over into the pressure line 9. Due to the multi-stage effect of the side channel pump creates a high pressure compared to identical centrifugal pumps.
  • This effect which principally occurs in side channel pumps 1, is accompanied by a leakage flow 7, in which the medium is guided past the hub 4, because there is a certain distance in the axial direction between the impeller and the wall of the housing 5.
  • an additional connection 10 is provided, with which the particular pressure conditions within the side channel pump 1 can be utilized.
  • FIG. 2 shows this additional connection 10 again in a lateral cross-sectional view, which illustrates that the leakage flow 7 occurs in the axial direction laterally adjacent to the impeller 2 as a kind of bypass between different sections of the side channel 6.
  • the modified side channel pump 1 can be used as a metering pump by the pressure P1 in the suction line 8 is set approximately equal to the pressure P2 in the pressure line, which can be done via the valve 13.
  • the pressure P1 in the suction line 8 is set approximately equal to the pressure P2 in the pressure line, which can be done via the valve 13.
  • a valve 12 can also serve to limit the metering.
  • valve 13 is closed further, so that the pressure P2 in the pressure line 9 rises, so does the static pressure in the side channel pump 1 and there is an overpressure on the additional connection 10.
  • the valve 12 is used to limit the flow, but this time the extraction flow from the side channel pump 1 out.
  • the modified side channel pump can be converted into a vacuum pump.
  • Such a configuration can also be implemented directly in the same building unit in a solid housing, so that a specialized vacuum pump can be realized in which the auxiliary medium conveyed in the side channel pump 1 does not leave the overall arrangement.
  • modified side channel pump which makes use of the effects occurring in the side channel pump and realizes an additional connection in order to make the pressure conditions occurring in the side channel pump outwards usable for different applications of such a modified side channel pump.
