| Three
Screw pumps employ just three screw elements - one Power screw and two idler
screws running in the three precision bores in the housing or liner. The
screws are so profiled that they form a liquid tight seal between the thread.
As the screws rotate, pockets. Cavities are formed where liquid gets trapped
and conveyed from one end of the screws to the other end - similar to the
action of a piston pump with infinite stroke. This results in smooth, pulsation
free flow with extremely low noise and vibration levels, almost impossible
to be achieved by any other design of Positive displacement or other types.
The power rotor does not drive the idlers as commonly believed. The hydraulic forces acting on screw flanks turn the idlers torquelessly thus reducing the friction. The idlers simply roll over the root diameter of main screws and float freely in casing/liner bores. Large surface areas on idlers dia, reduce the unit pressure, centralize the power rotor and absorb the radial loads. A balance piston integrally machined on power rotor takes care of axial thrusts. While in operation, the screws are in hydrodynamic balance on film lubrication and do not require any additional bearings. The one ball bearing often used is only for axial positioning of rotor and safer operation of mechanical seals. Small rotor dimensions enable the pump to be operated at high speeds directly coupled to 3000 or 3600 RPM motors or other prime movers. Such unique design and features have demonstrated excellent reliability with pumps in operation continuously non-stop for decades together without replacement of any components or maintenance on clean fluids. |
