mixed flow pumpIt is a kind of fluid conveying equipment commonly used in industrial, agricultural and municipal fields, but some failures may occur during use. The following will introduce the common faults of mixed flow pump and their solutions.

1. common mixed-flow pump failures

1. Insufficient flow: In the actual operation of the mixed flow pump, insufficient flow may occur. This may be due to blockage in the pump, reduced speed or pipeline leakage and other reasons. The flow of the pump is reduced or completely stopped. The cause of this problem may be that the inlet valve is not fully opened, or the inlet pipe of the pump is blocked.

2. noise and vibration: mixed-flow pump in the process of running noise and vibration, may be due to the pump shaft and motor axis misaligned, bearing wear or impeller damage and other reasons. Pump shaft jitter may be caused by misalignment of the pump and motor. Excessive pump noise may be caused by improper installation of the pump or serious wear of internal parts of the pump.

3. Leakage: Mixed-flow pump seals, flanges and other joints may leak, affecting the performance and service life of the pump. One possible failure of a mixed-flow pump is a leak in the pump body. Water leakage from the pump body may be caused by aging or damage to the seals.

4. Motor overload: The motor current of the mixed-flow pump exceeds the rated value, which may be caused by excessive flow, high head or internal motor failure.

2. Solution

1. Solution to insufficient flow: First, check whether the inlet of the mixed flow pump is blocked, and if so, clean it up in time. Secondly, check whether the speed of the pump meets the standard. If there is any problem, adjust the motor speed. Finally, check whether there is leakage or blockage in the pipeline system, and repair or replace it in time. The solution is to check whether the inlet valve is open. If it is not open, it should be opened in time. If the inlet valve has been opened, it is also necessary to check whether there is a blockage in the inlet pipe, and the normal operation of the pump can be restored by removing the blockage.

2. Noise and vibration solutions: check whether the pump shaft and the motor shaft alignment, if there is a problem should be re-adjusted; check the bearing wear, such as serious wear should be replaced with a new bearing; check whether the impeller is damaged, such as damage should be replaced with a new impeller. To solve the problem of vibration, it is necessary to adjust the coupling between the pump and the motor to ensure that the two are aligned. If the pump shaft shakes seriously, it is also necessary to check whether the supporting structure of the pump is firm and reinforce it if necessary. To solve the problem of noise, it is first necessary to readjust the installation position of the pump to ensure that there is enough shock absorption pad between the pump and the foundation. At the same time, regular maintenance of the pump and replacement of worn parts can effectively reduce the noise of the pump.

3. Leakage solution: check the joints such as seals and flanges. If there is any problem, replace the seals and fastening flanges in time; check the wear of the pump body, sealing ring and other parts. If the wear is serious, repair or replace. The solution to this problem is to check the condition of the seal. If the seal is found to be cracked or deformed, it should be replaced in time. In addition, make sure that the seal is installed correctly and the fastening screws are firm. Regular maintenance of the pump body and prolonging the service life of the seal are also key.

4. Motor overload solution: first check whether the flow rate is too large, if it is too large, adjust the flow rate, then check whether the head is too high, if it is too high, adjust the installation height of the pump or use the appropriate head; finally check whether there is a fault inside the motor, If there is a problem, please ask professionals for maintenance.

The faults and solutions of the mixed flow pump mainly include the problems of leakage of the pump body, reduction or stop of flow, vibration of the pump shaft and excessive noise. Through timely inspection and maintenance, these faults can be avoided and solved to ensure the normal operation of the mixed-flow pump. It is hoped that the method provided in this paper can help readers to better manage and maintain mixed-flow pump equipment.

In order to ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life of the mixed-flow pump, it is recommended that the user regularly check and maintain the mixed-flow pump, and operate in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer. If you encounter unsolvable faults, you should contact professionals for maintenance in time.
