Seeking help with centrifugal pump issues
Thread Content
Can a centrifugal pump be equipped with a interlock to enable it to start on its own?
This works; it depends on what you plan to use it for and the process conditions under which it will operate. It’s necessary to involve specialists in process and instrumentation control to implement interlocks
Of course it’s possible; otherwise, how would those pumps with one in use and one as a backup function? This automated control system can handle that
It is generally not allowed.
Sure, it can start at high liquid level and stop at low liquid level
Sure, we have done it before; it is controlled by a simple float switch that activates when the liquid level reaches a certain point and shuts off when the level drops to that same point； But it's best to install a check valve when transporting to the high-level tank!
