Effect of Operating Conditions on the Performance of Gas−Liquid Mixture Roots Pumps
March 9, 2023
The performance of the gas−liquid mixture Roots pump at different operating conditions is investigated in this paper. The pump efficiency was first increased from 48% to 64%, and then decreased to 59% with the increased inlet CO2 volume fraction (from 0.8 to 1). The increased rotational speed (from 1000 rpm to 4000 rpm) and pressure ratio (from 2 to 10) can lead to a reduction in the pump’s efficiency from 67% to 43% and from 48% to 33%, respectively. The variation in the pump’s efficiency is affected by the volumetric efficiency and the flow efficiency simultaneously. The high pressure and the CO2 volume fraction in the outlet zone can increase the leakage, leading to a reduction in the volumetric efficiency. The flow efficiency decreases with the increase in the local pressure at the outlet zone and the backflow density. The outlet zone pressure can also affect the fluid properties by changing the density of the gas phase. Therefore, the combined effect of the outlet zone pressure and the working fluid properties is considered to be the main factor affecting the performance. This paper further explores the suitability of Roots pumps for compressing gas−liquid mixtures.
