Design and Performance Testing of a Low Power Small Cryogenic Centrifugal Pump
To meet the demand of low power small cryogenic pump for fluid circulation in aerospace and biomedical applications
a small volume cryogenic centrifugal pump with a flow rate of 10 L/min and a power of less than one hundred watts was developed
of which the impeller and inducer structures were designed by numerical simulation and 3D printing impeller iterative optimization method. A set of closed-loop performance testing system for small cryogenic pumps was built
and the performance tests of the cryogenic pump using liquid nitrogen as the medium were completed. The external characteristic curves of the cryopump with a rotation speed of 4 500-8 000 r/min was obtained
and the influence of the fluid pressure(gauge pressure 140-800 kPa)in front of the pump on the head of the cryopump was studied. The study results showed that the small cryogenic centrifugal pump ran stably under a small flow and a small head. As the flow rate increased
the power first increased approximately linearly
and then the rate of increase gradually decreased. When the speed increased
the slope of the power linear growth area became larger and the efficiency curve began to peak. The higher the speed
the more the best efficiency operating point shifted to the large flow area. At the rated speed of 6 500 r/min
the best efficiency operating point was 10 L/min with a flow rate of 10 L/min and a head of 7.12 m. When the inlet pressure was higher than 200 kPa
the head of the cryopump was not sensitive to pressure changes. This paper can provide a reference for solutions to low flow cryogenic fluid drive applications.
