Troubleshooting Methods of Common Faults in Open Pump

1. bearing overheating.
Reason:
1. There is no oil in the bearing;
2. The pump shaft and the motor shaft are not on the same center line;
Elimination method:
1. Check and clean the bearing body and add lubricating oil;
2. Correct the coaxiality of the two axes so that they are on the same center line;
2. pump does not vibrate properly.
Reason:
1. Pump cavitation;
2. Imbalance of impeller;
3. The pump shaft is not concentric with the motor shaft;
4. The bolt of the footman is loose.
Elimination method:
1. Adjust the outlet gate valve to operate within the specified range;
2. Correct static balance of impeller;
3. Correct the coaxiality of the pump shaft and the motor shaft;
4. Tighten the anchor bolts.
The 3. pump does not produce water, and the pressure gauge shows the pressure.
Reason:
1. The resistance of the water outlet pipeline is too large;
2. Incorrect rotation direction;
3. Impeller is blocked;
4, the speed is not enough.
Elimination method:
1. Check or shorten the water outlet pipeline;
2. Correct the rotation direction of the motor;
3. Clean the impeller;
4. Increase the speed.
4. the sound inside the pump is abnormal, the pump does not take water.
Reason:
1. The resistance of the suction pipe is too large; or the suction height is too high;
2. Air is sucked in at the water absorption;
3. The temperature of the transported liquid is too high;
4, the flow is too large and cavitation phenomenon.
Elimination method:
1. Clean the water inlet pipe and bottom valve; reduce the water absorption height;
2. Check the bottom valve; reduce the water absorption height and block the air leakage;
3. Adjust the liquid temperature;
4. Adjust the outlet gate valve to operate within the specified range.
Insufficient 5. flow or too low head.
Reason:
1. Impeller or water inlet and outlet pipes are blocked;
2. The double suction sealing ring is worn too much or the impeller is damaged;
3. The rotating speed is lower than the specified value;
Elimination method:
1. Clean the impeller or pipeline;
2. Replace the damaged parts;
3. Adjust to rated speed;
6. pump consumes too much power.
Reason:
1. The packing is pressed too tightly;
2. Friction between impeller and double suction sealing ring;
3. Excessive flow;
Elimination method:
1. Loosen the packing gland;
2. Check the cause and eliminate mechanical friction;
3. Adjust the outlet gate valve to operate within the specified range;
The 7. pump does not absorb water, and the pressure gauge and vacuum gauge pointer beats violently.
Reason:
1. Insufficient water injection;
2. Pipeline or instrument leaks.
Elimination method:
1. Fill the pump with water;
2. Tighten the blocked air leakage.
8. the pump does not suck water, the vacuum gauge shows high vacuum.
Reason:
1. The bottom valve is not opened or blocked;
2. The resistance of the suction pipeline is too large;
3, the water absorption height is too high.
Elimination method:
1. Calibration or column replacement of bottom valve;
2. Clean or replace the suction pipeline;
3, reduce the water absorption height.
