What is the best way to design pipes that are prone to clogging? This post was last edited by WSL01218 on 2009-4-17 19:05 ]
Could you please make it clearer? The material may be blocked due to reasons such as high viscosity, easy crystallization, small pipe diameter, etc. Corresponding methods include pump selection and enlargement, insulation, heat tracing, increasing pipe diameter, etc. Pipe installation can also be set at a certain slope.
Yes, it didn’t specify what kind of material the pipe is made of. Generally, there are fewer turns, slopes, avoid dead corners, and use elbows with a large radius of curvature, etc.
1. Thicken the pipe 2. Reduce resistance parts such as elbows 3. Use flanges to facilitate disassembly of easily blocked areas 4. Design road preparations to facilitate maintenance~~~
Add gas pipes to purge solid material pipelines at areas prone to blockage
If the material is used at low temperatures and crystallization occurs, it is recommended to use a heat tracing tube.； If there are impurities in the medium, it is recommended to use a pipeline filter, etc.
Solve specific situations in detail: 1. For crystallization problems, heat tracing can be used ； 2. If the viscosity is high, the pipe can be polished, a 45-degree elbow can be used instead of a 90-degree elbow, and the slope can be set, etc. 3. Secondly, flange connections can be used in easy-to-block sections to facilitate disassembly and maintenance, and purge lines can be configured, or bypasses can be set up.
Supplement on the basis of the above: When installing the pipeline, design it in a step-by-step format so that when the pump stops, the material in the pipeline can flow back. No pipe blockage
The design of powder materials is generally a sloped pipe, the slope should be greater than 45 degrees, and an elbow with a large curvature radius should be used
