Vertical centrifugal pump is a commonly used fluid transportation equipment, widely used in various fields, however, in the use of the process, due to various reasons, there may be some failures, the following lists the vertical centrifugal pump common faults and solutions.

1. common faults

1. Insufficient flow: Possible causes include low pump speed, damage or blockage of the impeller, and a large amount of air in the pump casing or inlet pipe.

2. noise or abnormal vibration: may be due to the pump shaft and the motor shaft is not concentric, bearing damage or wear, solid particles in the medium and so on.

3. Leakage: It may be caused by damage to the sealing ring, wear of the shaft seal or lax packing seal.

4. Motor overload: It may be caused by excessive pump flow, excessive inlet pressure, or mismatch between the motor and the pump.

5. Unable to start: possible causes are power failure, motor failure or blockage inside the pump.

2. Solution

1. For the problem of insufficient flow, it is necessary to check the speed of the pump, clean the impeller and the inlet pipe, and ensure that the pump is full of liquid and no air.

2. For noise or abnormal vibration, it is necessary to adjust the concentricity of the pump shaft and the motor shaft, check and replace the damaged bearings, and clean the solid particles in the medium.

3. For leakage problems, the sealing ring, shaft seal or packing should be replaced to ensure good sealing performance.

4. If the motor is overloaded, it is necessary to adjust the flow and reduce the inlet pressure to ensure that the motor matches the pump.

5. If it cannot be started, first check the power supply and motor to eliminate the power failure. Then check whether there is a blockage inside the pump and clean the blockage.

In addition, in order to ensure the normal operation of the vertical centrifugal pump, regular maintenance is required. Including checking the wear of the bearing, replacing the worn parts, cleaning the impeller and the inlet pipe, etc. At the same time, it is also important to keep the medium clean and avoid solid particles from entering the pump.

In short, for the failure of the vertical centrifugal pump, it is necessary to analyze the specific situation and take the appropriate solution. During use, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the pump to extend its service life. If necessary, it is recommended to consult a professional engineer or manufacturer for more detailed guidance and advice.
