Removal of the soft sealing rubber ring from the check valve of the FELUWA high-pressure coal slurry pump
Thread Content
Is it feasible to remove the soft sealing rubber ring from the check valve of the FELUWA high-pressure coal slurry pump? Please discuss what the impact will be on long-term operation?
It is inappropriate and may lead to leaks.
The check valve is equipped with a valve condition monitoring probe; if that soft seal is removed, continuous alarms may be generated.
If the sealing is removed, how can it be ensured? The noise alarm will probably keep sounding non-stop as well.
Something that exists must have its rationale, and this is even more true for German-made products – it’s impossible to simply add or remove components from them. Until the true purpose and reasons behind their design are understood, it’s better not to change the original components of such devices
Soft seals are more resistant to erosion, and they offer better sealing capabilities as well as shock absorption and cushioning effects; this is why they are the preferred choice.
It has been canceled; I’ve been using it for 2 months now and its performance is quite good. The design intent of this rubber ring is not particularly complex; pumps from a few years ago did not have this rubber ring, which resulted in a short lifespan for the valve balls. This rubber ring was added later to assist with sealing and providing cushioning.
This reinforced rubber ring is used to reduce wear on the valve ball and extend the service life of the one-way valve. Removing the effect will definitely not be good!
Removing it will reduce the sealing effect of the valve ball, thereby affecting the flow rate of the equipment in later stages
