RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE POWER COEFFICIENT OF NEW TYPE MIXING DEVICE "KS - 3.1 PM"

ABSTRACT. In this publication, serves the purpose of presenting the performance characteristics for power consumption in emulsion stirring for a new mixing device tentatively named "KS - 3.1 PM". The name comes from the design, which consists of a planetary mechanism with three gears mounted in an aluminum housing, from which bushings are welded, on which three energy-saving mixers are mounted. Thus, the rotary motion from the DC motor is multiplied, because we have motion around its own axis and along a ring gear. The power factor КN ≤ 1.5, for the working range of Reynolds is (Reб≥87 000÷175 000), which meets the requirement 3.3.VP ≤ 4.5 m/s and refers to the category of energy-saving mixers.
