Optimization of Tank Bottom Shape for Improving the Anti-Deposition Performance of a Prefabricated Pumping Station

Optimization Design and Internal Flow Analysis of Prefabricated Barrel in Centrifugal Prefabricated Pumping Station with Double Pumps

In order to improve the hydraulic performance of the centrifugal prefabricated pumping station and improve its internal flow pattern, this paper optimizes the geometric model of the centrifugal prefabricated pumping station based on the orthogonal optimization method. Through the subjective analysis method and range analysis method, it is concluded that the primary and secondary order affecting the hydraulic performance of the prefabricated pumping station is: center distance Y, pump spacing S, inlet radius R, suspension height Z, inlet height H, and the optimal parameter combination is pump spacing 550 mm (5.5 d), The suspension height is 300 mm (3.0 d), the center distance is 100 mm (1.0 d), the inlet height is 700 mm (7.0 d), and the inlet radius is 75 mm (0.75 d). The orthogonal optimization results show that under the design condition (Qd = 33.93 m3/h), the efficiency of the centrifugal prefabricated pumping station is 64.69%, which is increased by 0.70%, compared with the initial scheme. The head is 8.76 m, which is increased by 0.10 m, compared with the initial scheme. After optimization, the recirculation vortex at the water inlet of the prefabricated pumping station is smaller than that before optimization, the flow velocity uniformity in the prefabricated barrel is improved, and the flow field is more stable. The research results of this paper can provide theoretical guidance and engineering reference value for the same type of prefabricated pumping stations.

Influence of the Installation Position of Submersible Pumps on Deposition Characteristics in Prefabricated Pumping Stations

Based on the discrete phase model (DPM), solid–liquid two-phase flow calculation, particle settling theory and MATLAB image processing technology, the influence of the installation position of submersible pumps on the deposition characteristics in a cylinder-type prefabricated pumping station was studied, and two performance indices, the deposition rate and area ratio of the easy deposition region were proposed. The results show that the area ratio and deposition rate of the easy deposition region increase as the suspension height increases. The discharge effect is best when the suspension height is 0.1H0, however, at this time the inlet bias of the pump is larger, which is not conducive to the smooth operation of submersible pumps. The area ratio and deposition rate of the easy deposition region gradually increase with the increase in the interval of the pumps. As the center distance increases, the area ratio and deposition rate of the easy deposition region basically decreases first and then increases, and reach the minimum at 0.1R and 0R, respectively.
