论文简介    The synchronal rotary multiphase pump is a new type of positive-displacement pump for multiphase boosting. Given that the discharge valve is eliminated in the synchronal rotary multiphase pump, the radial suction port as used in traditional rotary compressors is no longer suitable for the gas–liquid working condition. Thus, a special design for the axial suction port is presented to ensure the synchronal rotary multiphase pump’s flexibility in handling work fluids with any inlet gas volume fraction. The design concept and working principle of the axial suction port of the synchronal rotary multiphase pump are introduced herein, and a geometrical model of the suction port is established to calculate the critical dimensions for the synchronal rotary multiphase pump manufacture. The results show that the axial suction port’s design avoids the inner compression of work fluids and the back flow from the outlet to the inlet of the synchronal rotary multiphase pump during operation, which meets the requirements for operating under the gas–liquid working condition. The matching between the variation in the sectional area of the suction port and the varying trend of suction volume results in an acceptable sectional velocity of suction flow. Although the designed axial suction port reduces the suction angle range in a revolution, the decrease in the volumetric efficiency is negligible.
