Abstract

In order to obtain the transient characteristics of a low-speed centrifugal pump during the start-up and shutdown stages, dedicated experimental tests were conducted with eight different valve opening conditions. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to reveal the linear correlation between variables. According to the results, the stable rotational speed decreases with increasing valve opening (rotational speed decreases from approximately 1472 to 1453 r/min), while the stable shaft power exhibits an increasing trend (shaft power increases from approximately 0.242 to 0.390 kW). The stable time and zeroing time of each parameter during start-up and shutdown processes vary, with the flow zeroing time significantly increasing with the relative flow, reaching up to 10.468 s, while the shaft power zeroing time is roughly between 1.219 and 1.375 s. The results demonstrate that with increasing valve opening, the stable and zeroing time of flow significantly increase (|r| greater than 0.95), while the stable and zeroing time of rotational speed, power, and head display a smaller sensitivity on the valve opening (|r| less than 0.6).
