Cavitation affects hot oil pumps
Thread Content
The vacuum tank contains used engine oil, with water present in the oil. After being heated by the heating column, the temperature of the oil reaches 300 degrees. When the oil passes through the hot oil pump, the water in the oil vaporizes, resulting in no flow in the pump. The pump is of the centrifugal type. Is there any solution to this problem? Oil is circulated by a hot oil pump; without flow, the pump affects heating.
Just go and see the oil heating using heat transfer oil, as well as the equipment (oil mist separator, expansion tank), and you’ll understand it
