Abstract: In order to further improve the integration of the reverse osmosis desalination system and the working efficiency of its power components, while reducing the energy consumption of the system, the leakage and mixing characteristics of two different concentrations of seawater at the distribution windows of double-medium and double-displacement axial piston pump in variable reverse osmosis seawater desalination motor pump are deduced theoretically. At the same time, through the method of finite element simulation, the leakage and mixing characteristics of two different concentrations of seawater at two pairs of distribution windows under different structural parameters and operating parameters are studied and analyzed. The correctness of the analysis model and the results obtained is verified by comparing with the theoretical analysis result. The analysis results show that the leakage and mixing characteristics of seawater with different concentrations at the distribution windows on both sides of piston pump are slightly weakened with the increase of the cylinder rotation speed and obviously increase with the increase of the liquid film thickness. At the same time, it is shown that the leakage and mixing characteristics of seawater with different concentrations at the outer distribution windows of the piston pump are hardly affected by the pressure change on the thick brine side. However, the leakage and mixing characteristics of the seawater with different concentrations at the inner distribution windows weakened significantly as the pressure on the thick brine side increases. The research results can provide a reference for the design of seawater desalination double-medium and double-displacement axial piston pump and the study of leakage and mixing characteristics of seawater with different concentrations at the distribution windows.
