Method of computer-aided profiling of components of flow passages of centrifugal pumps for fuel and energy complex

Today, the fuel and energy complex (FEC) is the basis of Russian economy. It includes the most dynamically developing industries, such as petrochemical, oil refining, etc., associated with the production, transportation and processing of various fuels, as well as industries engaged in the production and distribution of electricity: thermal engineering, hydropower engineering and nuclear power engineering. The nomenclature of FEC centrifugal pumps includes a wide list of names: singleand multistage centrifugal pumps of low, medium and high pressure for clean water, water with impurities and various aggressive media [1, 2], pumps for oil production and transportation (trunk, booster, electric centrifugal production pumps, pumps for pumping leaks, etc.) and special pumps used in oil refining (cracking, cantilever chemical, etc.) [3]. The development of technical solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency as well as reliability and durability is one of the trends in the development of centrifugal pumps FEC that are most widely covered in engineering literature [4.9]. Along with this, reducing the complexity and cost of production of these pumps due to the automation of the design process remain just as important. In the given article, questions of development of a method of automated profiling of components of flow passage of centrifugal pumps for needs of FEC are considered. The description of the proposed method and the results of its approbation on the example of profiling of the flow passage of the impeller of the centrifugal cantilever chemical pump AH 12.5/50 are presented. Comparison with other known methods is carried out. The estimation of time costs for design works is carried out. It has been found that the automated profiling of the flow passage of the impeller according to the presented method took 720 times less time than manual profiling using conventional methods.
