摘要

Maintaining a correct impeller nose gap has long been emphasized as a critical element in achieving maximum centrifugal slurry pump wear life and efficiency. As the gap between the impeller and suction liner increases, so does the wear rate of these components. Design improvements to reduce local nose wear and maintain a tighter gap have previously been justified solely to increase the suction liner and impeller wear life. Efficiency and production losses have not been given due consideration as major economic factors. The flow mechanism of the impeller shroud to shell interface, which determines liner and nose wear rates, will be briefly explained. This includes the particle size impact, and nature of the side gap flow pattern where smaller particles tend to avoid being expelled by any clearing mechanism and can reach the nose area with damaging effects. An example analyzes the potential economic benefit for an industry typical 45,000 gal/min (2,852 liter/sec) dredge application with and without nose gap maintenance for three different adjustment cycles. All assumptions of the cost benefit analysis are discussed and evaluated. Although the calculation approach is rather conservative, the real potential cost reductions are quite significant. In summary, financial returns over a pump operational lifespan of twenty years could be in the million dollar range. Maintaining the correct nose gap during operation can increase production rates and while reducing both downtime and replacement part cost.
