Abstract:

There is significant potential for energy efficiency improvement by using variable speed drive (VSD) centrifugal pump. In the field of centrifugal pump the impeller outlet diameter, the blade angle and the blade numbers are the most critical parameters which affect the performance. A CFD Analysis going to carry out on VSD pump at speed of 3000, 3500 and 4000 RPM by changing number of blades from 4 to 6 using ANSYS CFX software. The purpose of this analysis is to get performance characteristics of VSD pump by blade number variation. Also investigate how demand response can be improved using VSD system and the pump is to be used for wide range of demand response. Hopefully, this dissertation will be helpful to decide the number of blade to be used while designing impeller in VSD centrifugal pump.
