Correlation research of rotor-stator interaction and shafting vibration in a mixed-flow pump

摘要

In order to study the shaft system vibration of mixed-flow pump under rotor-stator interaction, the unsteady pressure fluctuation characteristics are measured and the rotor axis orbit obtained based on the Bentley 408 data acquisition system. The relationship between pressure fluctuation and vibration characteristics of shaft system at the blade passing frequency is analyzed. The results show that the pressure fluctuation amplitude is the largest and the rotor-stator interaction effect is the most obvious in the middle of the impeller. Along the direction of the main stream, the velocity energy is converted into pressure energy, the rotor-stator interaction effect is gradually weakened, and the main frequency of the pressure pulsation gradually turns from the 4X frequency to the 1X frequency of the impeller rotation frequency. The hydraulic stirring vibration and other factors lead to jagged sharp corners on the original axis orbit. The axis orbit of 1X frequency is an ellipse with little difference between long and short axis while the 2X frequency is the opposite, from which the existence of arcuate rotary whirl and misalignment phenomenon of the rotor can be judged. Combined with time-frequency characteristics of pressure pulsation, it can be found that the hydraulic imbalance has a great influence on the vibration of the shafting, while the rotor-stator interaction at the blade passing frequency takes the second place, which is the main factor of inducing the 4X frequency vibration of the axis orbit. This study targets is that providing practical guidance for improving operation stability and preventing the vibration failure of the mixedflow pump.
