What is the actual purpose of the heat pump line? Is it to prevent the fluid being transported from freezing, or to protect the pump itself?
It is mainly to protect the pump body from damage caused by sudden increases or decreases in temperature.
1. Warm-up pump line – When transporting high-temperature oils with a temperature exceeding 200°C, and a spare pump is available, this pump is used for warming up the system; 2. Low-flow line – When the pump’s operating flow rate is 30% below its rated flow rate, a low-flow line should be provided to allow the pump to operate normally at that lower flow rate ; 3. Balance line – For liquids with a saturated vapor pressure at room temperature that is higher than atmospheric pressure, or liquids in the bubble point state, a balance line should be installed to prevent vapor from forming in the liquid entering the pump or bubbles from entering the pump and causing cavitation ; 4. Bypass line – used for the trial operation of the pump, or to keep the pump running when the main outlet valve is closed under abnormal operating conditions. Bypass valves equipped with flow-limiting orifices are generally installed in situations where the pressure difference before and after the valve is very high ; 5. Anti-freezing measures – When transporting liquids with a high pour point or high freezing point that solidify at normal temperatures, anti-freezing measures should be implemented in the standby pumps and pipelines to prevent them from getting clogged ; 6. Safety valve line – For positive displacement pumps such as electric reciprocating pumps, gear pumps, and screw pumps, a safety valve line is provided on the outlet side; when the outlet pressure exceeds a set value, the safety valve opens and the fluid returns to the pump’s inlet pipe. Common centralized piping found on ordinary pumps~~~
Prevent damage to the pump body caused by sudden spikes and drops in temperature
The answer on the third floor was very comprehensive: handshake
To prevent the pump from being damaged by a sudden rise in temperature, high-temperature pumps mainly use warm-up wires
