Selection for the installation of pressure gauges
Thread Content
According to the specifications, a condensation elbow is required when the medium temperature exceeds 60 degrees, and a damper is needed for the pressure gauge located at the pump outlet. So, when the temperature at the pump outlet is above 60 degrees, should both a condensation elbow and a damper be installed? Is it enough to just add a damper?
As I recall, a condensation elbow is required when the medium temperature exceeds 80 degrees
Dampers are used to reduce vibrations, while condensation bends are used to lower temperatures; both should be installed.
Agree with the person above; we’ve already installed it here
The damper and the condensation bend serve different purposes; both need to be installed and cannot replace each other
If dampers are not used, can a pressure gauge designed to resist seismic vibrations be used instead?
Sure, a condensation ring and an anti-seismic pressure gauge
I used condensers and shock-resistant pressure gauges in the past, and they worked quite well
Generally, a vibration-resistant pressure gauge installed at the pump outlet is sufficient; for reciprocating pumps, dampers must be added； The condensation ring is used for condensation purposes; it must be installed when the medium temperature is above 60 degrees ；
If a shock-absorbing diaphragm-type pressure gauge is used, neither of these two items needs to be installed
