What are the reasons for overcurrent in a liquefied gas pump?
Thread Content
When the pump is operating, the flow rate is half of the designed value – does it cause an overload shutdown? What could be the reason?

The flow rate in this case is lower than the minimum flow rate required by the pump, which leads to instability, friction between the moving and stationary parts, and overcurrent that causes the pump to shut down…… (One possible cause.) Using an outlet valve to control the flow rate results in a certain amount of mechanical energy being converted into heat, and this heat cannot be carried away by the fluid; over time, this leads to the fluid vaporizing…… Again, this causes instability, friction between the moving and stationary parts, and overcurrent that causes the pump to shut down…… (Another possible cause.)
Another issue is water in the liquefied gas.
