Reasons for insufficient output of liquid ring compressors
Thread Content
The chlorine compressor uses a liquid ring compressor with a rated suction capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per hour. Due to insufficient output, it was overhauled (with a new pump casing, gland, and impeller installed), but even after this overhaul the maximum output was only 900 cubic meters per hour. Two additional pumps had to be used each time to meet the requirements, resulting in significant power waste. Please discuss the reasons for this insufficient output
You can check the liquid level and temperature.
Personal opinions: 1. Increase the rotational speed; 2. Increase the impeller diameter; 3. Lower the temperature of the working fluid
1. Insufficient circulating acid supply. 2. The piping system (including the pump) is leaking air. 3. The gap between the impeller and the conical distributor is too large. 4. The intake pipeline is blocked or the intake valve has fallen off.
