I would like to ask everyone: in the shift responsible for coal-based ammonia synthesis, in the process of converting high-pressure gas to low-pressure gas and which involves hot water towers, what effects will there be if lubricating oil is directly added to the hot water pump while it is in operation?

I would like to ask everyone: in the shift responsible for coal-based ammonia synthesis, in the process of converting high-pressure gas to low-pressure gas and which involves hot water towers, what effects will there be if lubricating oil is directly added to the hot water pump while it is in operation? Thank you

Without affecting the temperature, it is acceptable to add fuel slowly, being careful not to cause the sediment at the bottom to become suspended due to the impact of the liquid.

The main issue I’m concerned about is the oil temperature difference between the new oil and the old oil; I’m not sure if this has any impact

Thank you, I’ve done the same thing and it didn’t cause any problems, but since I don’t have much experience, I’m reaching out for advice from everyone.

You can add it in small amounts multiple times; add it once, wait and check the temperature, then add more – usually there are no problems with this approach

The oil to be filled can be preheated; it can be poured in once it has reached a temperature above the requirements specified by the process. In cold regions, where the oil temperature is low, using such oil will inevitably lead to a decrease in oil temperature, an increase in oil pressure, or damage to the equipment. It all depends on whether it meets the equipment’s technical requirements; no one can just decide as they please.

It has no impact; I have changed the oil in a pump while it was running, pouring out the old oil while adding the new one, and there was no problem. When the lubricating oil used to run the pump deteriorates, it’s not necessary to shut down the pump; changing the oil in this manner has no adverse effects. When refueling, make sure to keep an eye on the oil level and don’t do it too quickly.
