The pool is 5.2 meters deep, with a water depth of 4.8 meters. The design features a double-pivot JBT frame + underwater bearings. Rotation speed: 20 rpm. Use self-lubricating polytetrafluoroethylene as the sliding bearing sleeve. Is this plan feasible?
Haven’t come across it; waiting for an expert to answer
Yes, it is also possible to use filled PTFE or nylon.
Mainly, the rotation speed is a bit too high; I’m a little worried
20 is okay, it should work; I’ve used this format before for wastewater treatment as well
Sure, many have been done already. No problem; it’s just that the PTFE sleeve might need to be replaced after some time
How often does that need to be replaced? This pool needs to have its water drained
