10) The running clearance between wear rings is not correct


Elimination measures: check the gap is correct. Replace the wear rings of the pump housing and / or impeller as required.


11) The pressure on the pump casing is too high


Elimination measures: Eliminate stress and factory representatives advice. After eliminating the stress, check the alignment.


4, pump stuffing box leak too much


1) Shaft bending


Remedy: Align the shaft or replace as required.


2) Misalignment of coupling or pump and drive


Elimination measures: check the alignment, if necessary, re-center.


3) bearing lubrication is not correct or bearing wear


Remedy: Check and replace as required.


5, the bearing temperature is too high


1) Shaft bending


Remedy: Align the shaft or replace as required.


2) Misalignment of coupling or pump and drive


Elimination measures: check the alignment, if necessary, re-center.


3) bearing lubrication is not correct or bearing wear


Remedy: Check and replace as required.


4) The pressure on the pump casing is too high


Elimination measures: Eliminate stress and consult factory representatives. After eliminating the stress, check the alignment.


5) too much lubricant


Elimination measures: remove the plug, so that too much fat automatically discharged. If it is an oil-lubricated pump, drain the oil to the correct oil level.


6, stuffing box overheating


1) Filler or seal wear in stuffing box to allow air to leak into pump housing


Remedy: Check packing or seal and replace as required. Check the lubrication is normal.


2) The stuffing box does not have the correct stuffing (insufficient stuffing, incorrect stuffing or running in, stuffing too tight)


Elimination measures: Check the packing, packing stuffing.


3) Packing or mechanical seal design problems


Elimination measures: to consult manufacturers.

A minor problem that can be easily overlooked when working on a pump


What I want to talk about is a trivial matter that can be easily overlooked when assembled after repair.


The middle of the impeller exit centerline of the impeller in the volute pump, ie, the exit of the impeller, should be aligned with the center line of the volute inlet. If not correct, should be in the impeller hub and shoulder by adding gasket adjustment. The two neutrals should be controlled within a 0.5 mm range. Pump slightly larger than the number of revolutions on the performance of the pump slightly less for medium and low pump speed due to the impeller exit is very narrow, such as the impeller exit width of only 10 mm, and if the shell center line deviation of 1 mm, the pump The performance has a significant impact. It is recommended to adjust the two midline (impeller and volute) error control within 5% of the exit of the impeller as well.


The same is true of the multi-stage vane pump, which controls the error of the midline of the impeller exit and the midline of the guide vane.


Space guide vane pump, it is best to use the data given in the assembly diagram to determine the position of the vane in the space guide vane. If there is no drawing, or by experience, or through the test results to adjust the position of the impeller.


Pump NPSH, suction stroke and their respective units of measure to express letters


Pump at work at the impeller inlet at a certain vacuum pressure will produce a vapor, vaporization of bubbles in the liquid particle impact movement, the impeller and other metal surface erosion, thus undermining the impeller and other metals, the vacuum pressure at this time Vapor pressure, NPSH refers to the excess energy of vaporization pressure per unit weight of liquid at the suction inlet of the pump. Units marked with meters, with (NPSH) r. Suction stroke is required NPSH Δh: That is, the degree of vacuum that the pump allows liquid to be sucked in, that is, the allowable installation height of the pump, in meters.


Stroke = standard atmospheric pressure (10.33 meters) - NPSH - safe amount (0.5 meters)


Standard atmospheric pressure pipeline pressure can be 10.33 meters in height.


For example: a pump required NPSH is 4.0 meters, suction Δh?


Then: Δh calculation also need to consider the vaporization pressure and tube loss


Δh = (Pc-Pv) / ρg-NPSHa-hc (meter)


Discuss the Δh formula


The calculation of Δh also takes into account vaporization pressure and tube loss


Δh = (Pc-Pv) / ρg-NPSHa-hc (m)
