The appropriate range of impeller clearance for a water ring vacuum pump mainly depends on the specific model, design, and manufacturer's recommendations of the pump. Generally speaking, the size of the clearance between the two sides of the impeller (i.e. the distance between the two sides of the impeller and the pump casing) is around 0.2 to 0.3 millimeters, which is quite common. However, this range is not certain, and different manufacturers and models of water ring vacuum pumps may have different clearance requirements.
In order to maintain the suitability of the impeller clearance, regular inspections and adjustments are necessary. The methods of inspection and adjustment may vary depending on the specific model and structure of the water ring vacuum pump, but usually include measuring the edge clearance using the lead wire method, adjusting the thickness of the paper pad between the pump cover and pump body, turning and correcting or replacing the impeller, and other measures.
In addition, the following points should be noted to ensure the normal operation of the water ring vacuum pump:
1. Regularly clean the impurities and dirt inside the pump body and pipeline to avoid blockage and wear.
2. Check and replace worn seals and packing to ensure good sealing performance.
3. Control the water supply volume and temperature to avoid overheating of the pump body caused by insufficient water supply or high water temperature.
4. Regularly inspect the bearings and lubrication system of the water ring vacuum pump to ensure good bearing lubrication, reduce wear and heat generation.
In summary:
The appropriate range of impeller clearance for water ring vacuum pumps needs to be determined based on specific circumstances, and regular inspections and adjustments are necessary to ensure the normal operation and effective functioning of the pump.
