A centrifugal pump for a slurry combines design changes with respect to conventional configurations that produce quasi-laminar flow and materially extend the life of the casing. The cutwater clearance of the casing is increased to a range of 0.20 to 0.25 times the diameter of the impeller. The casing includes a redesigned removable annular liner with a diameter increased to at least 1.15 times the diameter of the impeller. The pump preferably also has an axially adjustable wear ring with a diameter increased such that it extends by at least 10% over the diameter of the area of interface between the wear ring and the impeller. |
