High pressure cryogenic liquid pumps handling low boiling liquids are investigated in the very low mass flow range. The cavitation problem becomes predominant with lower pump capacities caused by the increasing ratio of heat loss to the pump capacity. Based on a mechanical design study a first prototype for low flow rates has been developed and investigated.

The cavitation problem becomes predominant with lower pump capacities caused by the increasing ratio of heat loss to the pump capacity. Based on a mechanical design study a first prototype for low flow rates has been developed and investigated. The amount of incoming heat from the environment and the sealing problems of the reciprocating piston against high pressure occurred as the main problems. A new lifting pump concept and a patented construction promised to offer solutions and further essential advantages. After detailed investigations and improvements the new prototype is operable without being submerged in the cryogenic liquid and has a short instationary cooling period. The realization of single-staged high pressure cryogenic liquid pumps for low mass flow rates is demonstrated. It appeared that the prevention of cavitation caused by frictional heat between reciprocating piston and cylinder is neither possible nor necessary. » weiterlesen» einklappen
