Cam rotor pump is one of the well-known fluid equipment, widely used in the transportation of heavy crude oil in the petroleum industry. The pump relies on two synchronous reverse rotors to generate suction at the inlet during rotation, thereby sucking in the material to be conveyed. Its unique working principle enables it to cope with high viscosity, high temperature, and high wear conditions, making it an ideal choice for the heavy oil transportation industry.
The application of cam rotor pumps can be reflected in many oil and gas transportation industries. For example, cam rotor pumps are widely used in subsea oil wells, with transport scales exceeding 1000 meters. Under these extreme conditions, a reliable and stable pump is needed to transport crude oil between oil wells and production platforms. The cam rotor pump overcomes the challenges of other pumps in transporting high viscosity oil well fluids.
Cam rotor pumps can be used as discharge pumps for oil wells with inlet pipe diameters less than 4 inches. At this point, the cam rotor pump is placed in one of the sedimentation tanks to extract heavy crude oil from the tank and transport it to the storage tank. Not only that, pumps can also play an important role in refining when transporting crude oil. With the help of low-pressure steam, crude oil is transported to the distillation tower through a pump, thereby reducing the risk of fire and explosion in the distillation tower. At the same time, during transportation, the low noise and low vibration characteristics of the cam rotor pump can reduce operating costs and extend the service life of the pump.
The application advantages of cam rotor pumps in oil and gas transportation are:
1. Smooth delivery
When transporting viscous media, the cam rotor pump can maintain a relatively stable flow rate and pressure, without adverse phenomena such as blockage or pump chamber pressurization, thus protecting the efficient transportation of concentrated crude oil and not affecting the stable operation of the oil pipeline.
2. Energy saving effect
When conveying viscous media, due to the small gap between the pump casing and rotor, the cam rotor pump can effectively reduce the pressure relief flow rate and volume of dissolved gases inside the pump, reduce vibration and noise, thereby improving the efficiency and energy-saving performance of the pump.
3. Easy to maintain
The structure of the cam rotor pump is simple, and the back cover adopts a pull-out design, which can be repaired without disassembling the pump body and pipeline.
4. Strong self suction force
The cam rotor pump has strong self-priming ability and does not require pumping before starting. It can also rotate forward and backward, forward transmission, and reverse flushing. The self-priming ability of the pump can reach 9 meters.
5. Wear resistance (based on actual reports) Corrosion resistance (based on actual reports)
The cam rotor pump also has high sealing performance and corrosion resistance (based on actual reports), and can adapt to harsh working environments and medium characteristics.
In short, cam rotor pumps are widely used in the petroleum industry. From land to sea, from viscous oil wells to refineries, cam rotor pumps are always able to overcome various challenges and provide excellent support for oil transportation. With the development of the petroleum industry and the continuous pursuit of product quality, cam rotor pumps will continue to upgrade and develop, bringing many innovations and breakthroughs to the oil and gas industry.
