Because the tank depth is more than 6 ft, so don’t adopt plane impeller, please
adopt angle impeller. Find out or choose accurate impeller diameter from impeller
displacement list to make the turnover rate value within recommended using range.
Choose one impeller displacement initial value to make D close to Vand increase the
accuracy of chosen impeller displacement.

By finding out from this table, ensure that the impeller diameter is 40in, electrical
motor power is ISHP. Because the impeller angle, impeller width of the impeller
‘manufactured by our company are different from the others manufactured by other
company, so our company provide the agitator with 15kw electrical motor and 40 in
impeller for the bigger size mud compartment of this project to ensure that the agitator
can reach reasonable working status and suitable agitating function.2. 7.Skw agitator calculation instruction
Given the length, width and height of each mud tank, and using the max. mud
compartment to calculate the efficiency of agitator, if the efficiency is acquired on this
condition, the mud compartments with smaller volume can also achieve their agitating
efficiency.
Length of mud compartment L=3678mm=12ft. width W=1964mm=6.43ft.
height H=2630mm=8.3it
Working volume:
V.=LxW(H-1) x7.481
= 12x6.43%(8.3-1) «7.481
=4213.8 gal
Because the depth of tank is greater than 6ft, so we should use angle impeller
instead of flat impeller. Choose the accurate diameter of impeller from the table of
displacement of impeller, thus to make the rotation rate within the suggested usage
range. Choose one initial value of impeller displacement, thus to allow D approach V.
to increase the accuracy.
Working volume for square or rectangular tanks is calculated by
knowing dimensional values for length (L). width (W), and height (H; in
feet for gallons, in meters for liters):
For gallons:
V,=L x W(H -1)x 7.481
For liters:
= Lx W(H—0.3) x 1000,
The working volume for round tanks with flat bottoms is:
For gallons:
V, = 0(H —1) x 7.481
For liters:
V, = 9P(H—0.3) x 1000.‘Under this condition, compare with the table of “Drilling Fluids Processing
Handbook” \0.2, the displacement value of 60Hz approach to the displacement value
when the impeller is 36in (5402gal)..

LIAfter having chosen the impeller which can generate sufficient rotation rate,
decide the impeller diameter from the table of “Drilling Fluids Processing
Handbook”, choose the max.value which approach the most, _ as the density of
drilling mad is unknown, use 201b/gal (density is 2.4g/em?) as standard value when
calculate agitator power, that is 10 HP when the impeller diameter is 37in.

Known from the table, when the impeller diameter is 37in, motor power is,
10HP, because the rotation rate is too small, the chance of forming eddy current and
air suction will increase, so we should decrease the impeller diameter thus to increase
rotation rate, in order to achieve perfect condition, we supply 7.5KW motor for the
agitator and the impeller diameter is 26in.
