【Q&A Question 039】February 08, 2018: Does the hydrogen feed pump have a minimum flow rate line? Why set this line? Yes; it ensures that the pump does not suffer from cavitation or damage to its internal components under low-flow operating conditions, while also guaranteeing smooth operation of the pump. (Unless otherwise specified, all questions and answers are based on hydrogenation units.) ) Due to the limitations on the number of posts in the “One Question per Day” section, “One Image per Day” has been moved to the registered devices section; you can access it through the directory I posted.

Yes, the reasons are as follows: when operating at low flow rates, cavitation is likely to occur in high-pressure pumps; An increase in the temperature of the pump bearings is not conducive to the long-term safe operation of the pump. Setting a minimum flow rate line can prevent or reduce the occurrence of such accidents

Yes, setting a minimum flow rate line can prevent pump stalling.

There is a minimum flow line! Because it operates at low flow rates, the high-pressure pump may experience the following problems: ① An increase in temperature, along with an increase in the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid, which leads to intensified cavitation. ②As the temperature rises, the rotor temperature increases accordingly, leading to wear. The installation of a minimum flow control valve ensures the economic efficiency and safety of the feed pump during long-term operation.

The hydrogen feed pump has a minimum flow rate limit; operating at low flow rates can cause the high-pressure pump to experience the following problems: ① An increase in temperature, along with an increase in the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid, which leads to intensified cavitation. ②As the temperature rises, the rotor temperature increases accordingly, leading to wear. The installation of a minimum flow control valve ensures the economic efficiency and safety of the feed pump during long-term operation.
