Regarding the issue of installing compensators at the pump’s inlet and outlet
Thread Content
Are there any standards regarding whether compensators need to be installed at the pump inlet and outlet in design?
It seems there are no relevant standards; generally, compensators are avoided at the inlet and outlet of pumps, as natural compensation is sufficient
Which pumps should be considered: 1. Pumps with low pressure but high flow rate (such as circulation water pumps), or the inlet and outlet pipes of units with low pressure can be taken into account; however, the issue of equipment vibration is the main factor to consider； 2. Other pumps should be avoided; as mentioned above, natural compensation should be used, since multiple compensators are prone to problems during installation and operation. Moreover, few compensators can handle high temperatures and pressures.
I have seen rubber compensators installed at the pump inlet in circulating water systems; for other cases, natural compensation is achieved by changing the direction of the pipes
Set the hose~~~
Agree with the view from the 3rd floor; a high-flow pump should still be of better quality
It’s better for large pumps to have a compensator, right?
