Abstract

A quick no-water startup apparatus for a centrifugal pump includes, from top to bottom in sequence, one-way passages (1), a self-priming chamber housing (41), sliding devices (5), a self-priming chamber (4), chamber partition plates (2) a concave-convex impeller (3), inlet channels (6) connected on two sides of the self-priming chamber (4), a spring device (7) of an upper-side x-shaped gas-liquid separation device, the upper-side x-shaped gas-liquid separation device (8), upper and middle-side gas-liquid separation device connecting shafts (9), a middle-side gas-liquid separation device (10), lower-side backflow-type gas-liquid separation devices (11), v-shaped backflow channels (122), an inverted v-shaped inlet channel (121), and an inlet. The quick no-water startup apparatus of the present invention enables the centrifugal pump to directly enter a normal operating condition after no-water startup, and 36 times of air exhaust can be completed while the concave-convex impeller (3) in the self-priming chamber (4) rotates by a circle in the early stage. Besides, the apparatus is provided with the upper, middle, and lower gas-liquid separation devices to fully realize separation of ga…
