Volute design
Volute design
(OP)
Hi all,
Since in my centrifugal pump there is a necessity to vary the profile of the volute area in the dischare.suppose if u take the cross section aera near the vane tip it changes from .264 inch to .338inch this is the variation.so i have added baffle to aviod water re-circulation.wht design aspect need 2 be consider further.
PLS ADVISE ME.
Thanks,
Madhan.

RE: Volute design
are you designing a new pump? or you are an user trying to modify the existing one? in any case, this is a very complex and interesting issue, so be more specific!

M15,
Recommend you get your hands on the book, "Centrifugal Pumps Designs & Applications" by Lobanoff.
There is a pretty simple and straight forward derivation on volute design.
I agree with Bjegovic that this is a deep subject.
