Research on Parallel Operation Characteristics of High-pressure Pumps Applied in Coal Mine Hydraulics permeability improvement

Abstract

Nowadays, plunger high-pressure water pumps applied in large-scale mine are mostly used in coal mine hydraulics to increase permeability, and it is difficult to transport objections underground. Besides, the permeability improvement is affected during overhaul too. Therefore, multiple small high-pressure water pumps operating in parallel can be used to solve the problems mentioned above instead of large high-pressure water pumps. Moreover, the operating principle of the plunger high-pressure pump determines the specific flow fluctuation characteristics during its operation, and similar flow fluctuations also exist during the operating of parallel pump sets. The transmission model and AMESim hydraulic simulation model of single, parallel plunger pumps are established, taking the BQW-22/50 high-pressure water pump as an example. The operating characteristics of a single plunger pump and a parallel pump group are analyzed in this paper. The results are obtained as follows: the instantaneous discharge flow curve of a single plunger pump conforms to a sine function; the flow of the parallel pump set is the superposition of the flow of multiple plunger pumps; the instantaneous discharge flow curve changes under the influence of the phase deviation angle between the pumps; when parallel pump sets are running, there is an optimal phase deflection angle between the pumps, which minimizes the flow fluctuation of the pump sets; when four high-pressure water pumps are operated in parallel, the optimal phase deflection angle between the pumps is π/12 or π/4.
