Can one oil pump station power 5 gas generation furnaces?
Thread Content
Our plant’s gas generation system originally consisted of 4 gas generators sharing one hydraulic pump station. To expand production, we plan to add another gas generator. I would like to ask the experts whether another hydraulic system is needed, or whether the existing hydraulic pump station can still function properly.
There is no need to install another hydraulic system; the existing hydraulic pump station can be used, with just an additional hydraulic pump added in parallel.
It depends on the size of your oil pump Is there any remaining surplus?
The oil pump can be upgraded to increase the oil supply volume.
Check the flow rate of the pump and the demand of each furnace; if it can be proven that the amount used before the modification was less than 4/5 of the required amount, adding another furnace for oil supply should not be a problem!
It depends on the size of your fuel pump; if there’s enough headroom, just add it
As long as the oil pump has sufficient reserve, it’s fine; however, the fans in the five gas generation furnace buildings may need to be upgraded. Otherwise, it won’t be good if there’s a long queue waiting in the wind.
