Sulfur foam pump, high vibration, damaged bearings
Thread Content
The sulfur foam centrifugal pump experiences significant vibration and large fluctuations in pressure; it seems there is air in the system. What can be done since the bearings need to be replaced every 10 days? ? ?
Contact me to help you break it; we can chat privately.
It would be even better if everyone learned together and made progress!
Support the original poster; I want to know how to break it too
Isn’t sulfur foam a substance with foam on top and water below?
There’s no good way to deal with foam; the key is to figure out how to break it up. I think a centrifugal pump is used to draw in liquids, so perhaps raising the liquid level or lowering the height of the pump’s inlet will help.
The same thing is happening to us; it’s so annoying!
It contains air; installing an inducer wheel at the inlet, or using a self-priming pump, can help to remove the air and facilitate transportation
