| Sumario: | Ship ballast pumps have stringent requirements for their transient characteristics. Here, the pneumatic control valve and programmable logic controller (PLC) are applied to realize the rapid reduction in flow rate for ballast pumps, and the dynamic pressure of steady and transient conditions and inner flow for the ballast pump are tested and analyzed. The results show that the dynamic pressure of each study scheme has cyclical increasing trends, however, the larger the amplitude of the flow rate reduction is, the greater the pressure increasing rate of the two measuring points. While the flow rate decreases to 0.4× <i>Q</i><sub>d</sub> and 0.2× <i>Q</i><sub>d</sub>, the rate of pressure increase is first fast and then slow. The dynamic pressure pulsation intensity is higher than the corresponding steady-state conditions after the transient conditions. With the increase in flow rate reduction, the characteristic frequencies of the dynamic pressure are 1APF (axial passing frequency) and 1BPF (blade passing frequency) and their harmonic frequency. The rapid decrease in flow rate causes the separation vortex in the impeller channel to be generated in advance, and the scale increases, which reduces the pulsation intensity of the pump outlet to prevent an increase in the level of broadband pulsation between 2APF and 1BPF. |
