What is the function of the impeller of a mud pump?

The impeller of mud pump has the following main functions:

First, the rotation of the impeller generates centrifugal force, which is the main source of power that enables the mud to be sucked in and discharged. The centrifugal force draws the mud into the pump chamber from the inlet and gives the mud kinetic energy to push it out.

Secondly, the structure and shape of the impeller will affect the flow characteristics and conveying efficiency of the slurry, reasonably designed impeller can optimize the flow state of the slurry and improve the working performance of the pump.

Furthermore, the impeller can play a certain stirring and mixing effect on the slurry, so that the slurry in the pump to maintain a better uniformity.

It can also adapt to different properties and viscosity of the mud, to ensure that the mud pump can work effectively under various working conditions.

In addition, the rotation of the impeller is also closely related to the pump flow and pressure and other key parameters, which plays an important role in controlling and regulating the working condition of the mud pump.
