Résumé

The rapid development of industrial and information technology is driving the demand to improve the applicability and hydraulic performance of centrifugal pumps in various applications. Enhancing the rotational speed of pumps can simultaneously increase the head and reduce the impeller diameter, thereby reducing the pump size and weight and also improving pump efficiency. This paper reviews the current application status of high-speed pumps using low-temperature thermosensitive fluids, which have been applied in fields such as novel energy-saving cooling technologies, aerospace, chemical industries, and cryogenic engineering. Due to operational constraints and thermal effects, there are inherent challenges that still need to be addressed for high-speed pumps. Based on numerical simulation and experimental research for different working fluids, the results regarding cavitation within the inducer have been categorized and summarized. Improvements to cavitation models, the mechanism of unsteady cavity shedding, vortex generation and cavitation suppression, and the impact of cavitation on pump performance were examined. Subsequently, the thermal properties and cavitation thermal effects of low-temperature thermosensitive fluids were analyzed. In response to the application requirements of pump-driven two-phase cooling systems in data centers, a high-speed refrigerant pump employing hydrodynamic bearings has been proposed. Experimental results indicate that the prototype achieves a head of 56.5 m and an efficiency of 36.1% at design conditions (n = 7000 rpm, Q = 1.5 m3/h). The prototype features a variable frequency motor, allowing for a wider operational range, and has successfully passed both on/off and continuous operation tests. These findings provide valuable insights for improving the performance of high-speed refrigerant pumps in relevant applications.
