CENTRIFUGAL PUMP (HIGH PRESSURE) FOR POWER TRANSMISSIONS

Abstract

This report describes the analytical study, design, and experimental investigation of a four-stage centrifugal pump capable of 30 gpm flow at a pressure of 4000 psi when pumping hydraulic fluid at an inlet temperature of 600 F. The hydrodynamic analysis includes the computer program format predicting performance of elements of different pump configurations. Test results of 62 % efficiency, including all mechanical losses, confirmed the validity of the analysis and pump design. A dynamic floating carbon bushing interstage seal element was developed and is described.
