Abstract

The internal flow of a pump system that is installed in the interior of large vessels such as tankers is largely affected by the water level and flow conditions of the pump sump. However, the performance of the pump is generally evaluated with the consideration of only the performance of the pump itself, without considering the pumping station operating environment. Therefore, if the pump is affected by the incoming flow that exhibits vortex and swirl, the occurrence of vortex and swirl accompanied with air may cause problems with the pump sump. This effect of flow condition can lead to a decrease in efficiency, increase in vibration, and noise generation in the pump. In this study, to investigate the internal flow of the pump sump according to several water levels, a pump sump scale-model was designed and constructed. The frequency of vortex occurrence and the shape of the vortex were investigated according to the different water levels of a fundamental test. The Class C vortex type, which has a larger volume of air intake to the pump, was confirmed by the higher occurrence frequency at a relatively lower water level.

탱크선과 같은 대형 선박 내부에 설치된 펌프시스템은 펌프장의 수위와 유량 조건에 따라서 펌프 내부유동이 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 그러나, 펌프의 성능은 설계 시 일반적으로 펌프가 작동될 펌프장 환경을 고려하지 않고 펌프 자체의 성능만을 고려하여 설계하기 때문에 펌프로 유입되는 유동에 포함된 보텍스와 선회류의 영향을 받을 경우 펌프장 내에서 공기를 동반한 보텍스 및 선회류가 발생하며, 이러한 유동 환경의 영향으로 펌프의 효율저하, 진동 및 소음문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 펌프장의 운전 조건에 따른 내부유동을 검토하기 위하여 펌프장 축소모델을 설계 및 제작하여 수위에 따른 보텍스의 발생 빈도 및 형상을 기초실험을 통하여 확인하였으며, 공기를 동반하여 펌프에 흡입되는 보텍스 Class c의 경우 상대적으로 낮은 수위에서 높은 빈도로 발생하는 것을 확인하였다.
