The role of water pump leakage reduction ring
The leakage reduction ring of the water pump, also known as the sealing ring or the mouth ring, is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Reducing leakage: The leakage reduction ring is installed at the outer ring joint between the water pump body and the impeller suction port. As a component with relative motion at the high-low pressure exchange interface, its main function is to reduce the flow leakage from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area. This helps to improve the efficiency of the water pump, ensure that the water flows according to the designed path, and reduce unnecessary energy loss.
Wear protection: The leakage reduction ring also plays the role of bearing the friction between the impeller rotation and the pump casing. During the operation of the water pump, there will be a certain amount of friction between the impeller and the pump casing. As a consumable part, the leakage reduction ring can effectively protect the impeller and the pump casing from direct wear. When the gap of the leakage reduction ring becomes larger due to wear, it is only necessary to replace the leakage reduction ring, avoiding the complexity and high cost of replacing the entire impeller or pump casing.
Extending equipment life: By reducing leakage and bearing friction, the leakage reduction ring helps to extend the service life of the water pump and its related components. It reduces energy loss and component wear caused by leakage and friction, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.
In summary, the water pump leakage reduction ring plays an important role in reducing leakage, protecting against wear and extending the life of the equipment. It is a key wearing part in the water pump and is of great significance to ensure the normal operation and efficient operation of the water pump.
