Cryostar expansion oil station: oil pump motor failure. How long can the accumulator supply oil?

Enough oil for the expander to run at idle speed. If you’re curious and want to know when it’s supplied, you can check by looking through the sight glass on the return oil pipe. The key issue is the operation and tightness of the emergency shut-off valve for the material entering the expander.

For accumulators, their purpose is to slow down the rate of decline in system pressure. We have conducted experiments on this before; after installing accumulators, it takes more than 6 seconds for the pressure to drop from its normal level to the interlock pressure level. This allows the oil pump designed for automatic startup to operate, thereby preventing the risk of the unit shutting down due to low oil pressure caused by a failure in the operating oil pump.

1. Agree with the view from the 3rd floor. 2. Generally, the accumulators in gas stations store only a small amount of energy, and their main function is to help balance peak and off-peak demand. Some diesel fuel stations have accumulators that provide emergency kinetic energy for use in urgent situations. 3. The shape of the accumulator does not indicate that all of the space is occupied by fuel; a significant portion of the internal space is taken up by an inflated bladder. Once this bladder loses pressure, the remaining fuel inside can no longer be used by the engine. 4. To ensure sufficient time for the engine to run at idle speed, high-level fuel tanks are generally used ; If accumulators are to be used, a large amount of energy storage is required, and from a cost perspective, users may not opt for such a configuration. We are not aware of the situation on site; we are only making general statements.

It mainly depends on the size of the accumulator; the specific operating instructions are available
