Has anyone ever seen a filter installed at the outlet of a centrifugal pump? :L
They’re all installed at the inlet; why install them at the outlet?
I don’t understand it either; it’s the first time I’ve seen such a weird design. Is it that we don’t understand?
The inlet cover is there to prevent impurities from entering the pump chamber and damaging the impeller, while the outlet cover serves to prevent leakage? There may be buffer tanks or safety valves at the outlet; it’s best to ask the design team
A basket filter, right? Due to process reasons, the inlet pipeline is too short to accommodate a filter; therefore, basket filters are commonly placed in the outlet pipeline
Is the filter a regular filter? It is still a self-cleaning filter; such filters require a high inlet water pressure in order to achieve an effective cleaning effect. If the water source pressure cannot meet this requirement, it is necessary to increase the inlet pressure.
Imported filters often prevent mechanical impurities from damaging the pump or causing blockages in subsequent equipment； The outlet filter is of the cartridge type; at first glance it resembles a basket filter, used to remove tiny impurities from the material being filtered ； In addition, export versions also come with packed filters, whose packing materials include graphite, soda ash, alumina, calcium oxide, etc. These are used to remove acids, water, and small amounts of organic substances from the material.
Is it required that the cleanliness of the materials entering the next processing stage be high, in order to prevent the formation of unknown impurities as a result of passing through the pump?
