Abstract

Equations are derived to design and develop the multiphase stages flow path in a diagonal form using the dimensionless multiphase coefficient of the discrete particles relative speed. An analysis was made of the formation fluid flow containing free gas bubbles in the serial multiphase stages flow path of axial and axis-diagonal types in comparison with the developed diagonal-type stages and with inclined-cylindrical and helical blades. It is shown that, compared to the axial and axis-diagonal type stages, multiphase stages of the diagonal type with the inclined-cylindrical and helical blades have higher pressure when operating on the gas-liquid mixtures, especially in the multi-stage design. When operating on water without free gas, pressure and efficiency of the multiphase stages exceed characteristics of the best analogues, which makes it possible to manufacture the full-size pumps operating efficiently on liquid without gas and on the gas-liquid mixture.
