Regular monitoring of the condition and lubrication performance of the plunger pump slipper pair is essential
The hydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the sliding shoe pair of the plunger pump will be affected by the disturbance of the valve distribution pressure fluctuation. Here are some considerations for understanding this phenomenon:
1. Hydrodynamic lubrication: In a plunger pump, the slider pair is responsible for transferring the load from a rotating cam or swash plate to a reciprocating piston. Hydrodynamic lubrication occurs between the shoe and swashplate/cam interface, creating a thin film of oil that separates the surfaces and reduces friction and wear.
2. Valve distribution pressure fluctuation: Valve distribution pressure fluctuation refers to the change of hydraulic oil pressure supplied to the valve plate of the pump. These fluctuations can be caused by a variety of factors, including changes in system demand, pump speed, or fluid flow conditions.
3. Oil film thickness: Fluctuations in valve distribution pressure will affect the oil film thickness between the slider and the swash plate/cam surface. When the pressure fluctuates, it affects the balance of forces on the shoe, causing changes in the thickness of the oil film. A thinner oil film may result in increased contact and friction between the slider and swashplate/cam, which may cause wear or surface damage.
4. Load distribution: Pressure fluctuations affect the load distribution on the shoe pair. Uneven loading can lead to locally high contact pressures, which can lead to excessive wear or surface wear. Uneven load distribution can also cause variations in oil film thickness, affecting the lubrication efficiency and performance of the shoe pair.

5. Liquid film dynamics: Pressure fluctuations affect the liquid film dynamics between the slider and swash plate/cam surfaces. Changes in pressure will cause changes in the stiffness, damping and stability of the oil film, thereby affecting the tribological behavior of the shoe pair. This leads to dynamic instabilities such as oil film vibrations or oil swirls, which further affect lubrication performance and lead to wear or damage.
6. Frictional effects: Fluctuations in pressure also affect lubricant properties such as viscosity and oil film strength. Viscosity changes due to temperature changes or pressure fluctuations can affect the formation and maintenance of the lubricating film. In addition, pressure fluctuations can change the oil film strength of the lubricant, thereby affecting the load-carrying capacity and friction characteristics of the shoe pair.
7. System design and control: The design and control system of the pump should consider the impact of valve distribution pressure fluctuations on the lubrication of the sliding shoe pair. This may involve optimizing the design of the valve distribution system to minimize pressure variations, implementing effective pressure regulation or stabilization mechanisms, or employing advanced control algorithms to compensate for pressure fluctuations.
8. Selection of lubricant: The selection of lubricant is very important to reduce the impact of pressure fluctuations on the lubrication of the sliding shoe. Selecting a lubricant with the proper viscosity characteristics and additives helps maintain an effective and stable lubricating film under varying pressure conditions. Lubricants with good thermal and oxidation stability can also ensure consistent lubricating performance.
9. Monitoring and maintenance: Regular monitoring of the condition and lubrication performance of the shoe pair is essential. Implementing condition monitoring techniques, such as vibration analysis or oil analysis, can help detect early signs of any wear or lubrication issues. Timely maintenance, including changing lubricants, cleaning filters or inspecting components, should be performed to ensure optimum shoe performance and life.
10. Surface Roughness: The surface roughness of sliders and swashplates/cams can significantly affect hydrodynamic lubrication. Fluctuations in pressure can lead to increased contact between mating surfaces, exacerbating the effects of surface roughness. It is important to maintain a proper surface finish and control roughness to minimize friction and wear.
11. Oil Viscosity: The viscosity of lubricating oil plays a vital role in hydrodynamic lubrication. The viscosity of the oil should be selected according to the operating conditions and temperature changes of the pump. Fluctuations in pressure due to changes in temperature and shear rate can affect the viscosity of the oil. It must be ensured that the lubricating oil maintains its viscosity within the required range to provide an effective oil film for hydrodynamic lubrication.
12. Oil Film Thickness Monitoring: Monitoring the oil film thickness between the shoe and swash plate/cam can provide valuable insight into lubrication conditions. Film thickness can be measured in real time by employing techniques such as optical interferometry or capacitance-based sensors. This information can be used to assess the effectiveness of lubrication and identify potential problems related to pressure fluctuations.
13. Material selection: The material selection of the shoe and swash plate/cam should consider its friction performance and compatibility with lubricating oil. Proper material selection can help reduce friction and wear and improve overall lubrication performance. Materials with good wear resistance, low coefficient of friction and compatibility with the lubricant should be selected to ensure optimum hydrodynamic lubrication.

14. System Stability: The stability of the pump system is critical to maintaining consistent hydrodynamic lubrication. Fluctuations in pressure can cause instability, which can lead to breakdown of the oil film or loss of lubrication. It is important to design pumping systems with stability in mind to ensure that pressure fluctuations are minimized and that the system operates under stable conditions.
15. System damping: The damping characteristics in the pump system help to reduce the impact of pressure fluctuations on the lubrication of the shoe pair. In combination with appropriate damping elements, such as accumulators or shock absorbers, the energy associated with pressure fluctuations can be absorbed and dissipated, minimizing their impact on lubrication performance.
16. Computational modeling: Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling can be used to simulate the lubrication behavior of a shoe pair under the influence of pressure fluctuations. CFD simulations provide insight into oil film thickness, pressure distribution, and fluid dynamics, helping to optimize pump designs and understand the impact of pressure fluctuations on lubrication characteristics.
17. Maintenance and Maintenance: Regular maintenance and maintenance of the pump is essential to ensure proper lubrication and minimize the effects of pressure fluctuations. This includes monitoring pump performance, checking slipper shoes for wear or damage, and performing routine maintenance tasks such as oil changes and filter changes. Proper maintenance practices will help maintain lubrication efficiency and extend the life of your shoe pair.
By considering these additional factors, the hydrodynamic lubrication characteristics of the plunger pump slipper pair under the disturbance of valve distribution pressure fluctuation can be further understood and solved. Proper design, material selection, monitoring and maintenance practices can help optimize lubrication performance, reduce wear and improve overall pump system reliability.
