purpose of centrifugal pump casing wear ring and impeller
wear ring
Answer Posted / satyanaraya na
Wear rings can be defined as a device used to seal the
pressure leakage of the liquid between the inlet of the
impeller and the pump casing. Wear rings are typically
found on pumps with closed impellers. A similar device that
serves the same function called a wear plate can be found
on some pumps with a semi-open impeller.
The typical reason for using a wear ring is to decrease the
amount of leakage loss around the impeller. Due to more
work available to push the pumped liquid out the discharge
there is a slight improvement in pump efficiency.
And also as name indicates 'WEAR' which is a ring can
sacrifice its size by taking friction generated between
stationary and rotating elements.
The replacement of rings is easier & cheaper than replacing
impellers/casing.
Hope this is clear.
