The impeller of the vortex pump is a steel or copper disk, on both sides of the disk edge milling into a number of radial radial
radial radial blades.The end face of the impeller is close to the pump body, and its axial clearance is about 0.10 ~ 0.15mm. The flow channel is composed of the annular cavity between the impeller, the pump body and the pump cover.In the passage suction and outlet separated by a section called the tongue, the tongue and impeller radial clearance is very small.To prevent the outlet of the high-pressure liquid leakage to the suction.Open vortex pump blade is long, blade diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the flow channel, liquid from the suction inlet into the impeller, and then into the flow channel.The blades of the impeller of the closed vortex pump are shorter, and the inner diameter of the blades is equal to the inner diameter of the flow passage. After the liquid enters the flow passage from the suction, it enters the impeller from the outer circumference of the impeller.The fluid enters the runner and the impeller from the suction.
When the impeller rotates, the centrifugal force of the moving liquid in the impeller is greater than that of the moving liquid in the runner. A vortex is generated between the two.Under the action of longitudinal vortices, the liquid can enter and exit the impeller many times during the whole process from suction to discharge, which is similar to the flow condition of liquid in the multi-stage centrifugal pump.Every time the liquid flows through the impeller, it gains energy.As the liquid rotates from the leaf to the runner, it mixes with the fluid moving in the runner.Due to the different velocities of the two streams, momentum exchange is generated in the mixing process, which increases the energy of the liquid in the runner.Vortex pump mainly depends on the longitudinal vortex to transfer energy.Since the vortex pump can increase the energy of the liquid many times, the head of the single-stage vortex pump is higher than that of the single-stage centrifugal pump.However, the vortex pump and the centrifugal pump is different, the liquid in the vortex pump not only in the axial surface to make the liquid vortex motion.
