Σύνοψη

Cavitation is the most devastating and destructive phenomenon in pump operation, limiting the field of safe application. As the objectives of this project is to study the phenomenon of cavitation in pumps and design a cavitation testing rig the following steps where followed throughout the entire work:
• Description of the different types of pumps, principles of operation, and performance characteristics.
• Definition of the phenomenon of cavitation in pumps and the parameters related to.
• Study and analysis of the various methods of testing for cavitation including the measurements required and the appropriate instrumentation, always according to ISO standards class B.
• Selection of a particular testing arrangement and detail design of the rig.
• Construction of the testing rig.
• As the best verification for any theory is the experimental establishment, the final step was to perform tests on the rig to determine the conditions, parameters under which it occurs and its effects escorted by a closer study and investigation on the origin and mechanism of the phenomenon of cavitation based on the experimental results.
