A technique for automatic tubing occlusion in response to air bubble detection when using a centrifugal pump.

چکیده
A double acting pneumatically powered cylinder, energized by an electrically activated solenoid valve, is used to occlude the outflow line from a Bio-Medicus (a) constrained vortex pump. The cylinder is mounted on a tubing guide that is fastened to a pole clamp. A Sarns (b) air bubble detector, placed on the pump inflow line is used to provide the signal to activate the solenoid valve. The outflow occluder is capable of 100% occlusion of 3/8 x 3/32 inch Tygon tubing up to pressures of 2586 mmHg. The occluder system is able to work with many types of bubble detectors and is applicable to any form of non-occlusive pump.

Significant safety advantages gained with an improved pressure-regulated blood pump.
A prototype of a non-occlusive pressure-regulated blood pump (M-pump) was evaluated in-vitro for safety in a comparative study with the roller and centrifugal pumps. The M-pump consists of collapsible tubing of unique design wrapped under tension around a rotor without a stator. The prototype M-pumps were tested in vitro to evaluate performance with respect to flow/ pressure characteristics, he...
متن کاملExperimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids
In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...

متن کاملSimulation-based Vibration Sensor Placement for Centrifugal Pump Impeller Fault Detection
In this paper, a simulation-based method is proposed for optimal placement of vibration sensors for the purpose of fault detection in a centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump is modeled to investigate the effect of vane tip fault on fluid flow patterns numerically. Pressure pulsations are investigated at different locations at the inner surface of the pump before and after the presence of the f...
