Understanding Cavitation and Cavitation Phenomenon in Slurry Pumps
What is cavitation and cavitation phenomenon? In the selection and usage of slurry pumps, we often hear a term called "cavitation". So what is cavitation? Here, Pan Shi Pump Industry will briefly introduce the term "cavitation".
Understanding Cavitation and Cavitation Phenomenon in Slurry Pumps
In the process of selecting and using slurry pumps, we frequently come across the term “cavitation”. So, what exactly is cavitation? Pan Shi Pump Industry will provide a brief introduction.
When a liquid reaches a specific temperature and its pressure drops to the vaporization pressure at that temperature, a large quantity of vapor is released from the liquid. This vapor mixes with air, forming numerous small bubbles. This process is called “cavitation”.
When these bubbles reach a high – pressure zone, they collapse, creating a local vacuum. If the bubbles collapse on a metal surface, they impact the surface with substantial force. This causes damage to the metal and generates vibration, a phenomenon known as the “cavitation phenomenon”.
