Increase the outlet of the screw pump
Thread Content
Everyone, I have a question. Currently, the company uses screw pumps to transport the coating solution. The maximum flow rate of these screw pumps is 10,000 kg/h, and at present they are used at a rate of around 7,500 kg/h. There are 2 spray nozzles at the outlet of the screw pumps, each with a single outlet, resulting in a total of 2 outlets. Subsequently, the design was modified to have 4 outlets per spray tube, for a total of 8 outlets. Is it necessary to recalculate the selection for the pump and pipes? As I am new to this, I hope you can provide a response or relevant information, formulas, etc. Thank you! ! !
It would be best to have a simple flowchart to facilitate analysis and discussion
It needs to be reconsidered; currently, 7500 KG/H is below the pump’s rated capacity. It’s not clear whether there is insufficient feed or restrictions at the outlet, which are affecting the flow rate.
