Five major drawbacks of vortex pumps

A. The vortex pump cannot be used to pump more viscous media. As the viscosity of the liquid increases, the pump head and efficiency drop drastically, and the viscosity of the medium is limited to 114 centistokes.

2. The pumped medium is limited to pure liquids. When the liquid contains solid particles, the axial and radial clearances due to wear increase, degrading the performance of the pump or rendering the vortex pump inoperable.

Third, the efficiency is low, the maximum is not more than 55%, the efficiency of most of the vortex pump is 20-40%, thus hindering its development towards high power.

Fourth, the vortex pump cavitation performance is poor.

V. The requirements for radial clearance and axial clearance between the vortex pump impeller and the pump body are relatively strict, which brings certain difficulties to the processing and assembly process.
