What factors affect the water supply flow rate in shale gas fracturing water supply

What factors affect the water supply flow of shale gas fracturing:
1、 The diameter and smoothness of the inner wall of the water supply hose

The larger the diameter of the water supply hose, the greater the flow rate per unit time under the same conditions. A hose with a smooth inner wall will have a reduced impact on the water flow, thereby increasing the flow rate.


2、 Water pump factor
The unit time flow rate of water supply is closely related to the water pump. The specifications of the water pump itself determine the upper limit of the water supply flow rate. At the same time, the correct wiring method is also important, otherwise the flow rate will not reach the rated specifications. When multiple water pumps are connected in parallel, attention should also be paid to the design of the convergence port and the reduction of turbulence. At the same time, the head of the water pump should be greater than the actual water supply height difference.
3、 Planning factors for hose routing
If the bending angle of the hose is too large, a metal elbow should be used as a transition to prevent the pipeline from bending or deforming, as this can greatly reduce the flow rate of the pipeline. Reasonably utilize the terrain and try to take the shortest route for pipelines. Try not to use hoses with diameters smaller than planned on the same route, as this will reduce the design flow rate.

summarize
In order to minimize the loss of water supply flow, water supply project managers should choose high-pressure flat coiled polyurethane hoses with smooth inner walls as much as possible, and choose polyurethane hoses with large diameter and high pressure as much as possible. The rated flow rate of the water pump should meet the design flow requirements. During installation, attention should be paid to not connecting the lines incorrectly. Before arranging the pipeline, multiple routes should be taken to determine a water supply route with fewer bends. Elbows should be installed at the places where the hose turns into large bends. Although it is impossible to cover all aspects in practical operation, these problems should be minimized as much as possible, so as to ensure the flow rate and reduce energy consumption during water supply.
