The pump vibrates significantly at low flow rates

2018-11-13View Original

Thread Content

A pump with a flow rate of 150: when the outlet valve is closed and the pump operates at a low flow rate, it experiences significant vibration, and there is also a lot of noise coming from the pump body, similar to cavitation. What’s going on?

The pump is experiencing surge, resulting in vibration and noise.

Can’t the pump’s pressure build up if the outlet valve is closed? This causes severe damage to the machine and can lead to excessive vibration in the pipelines. We also do it this way in our production process here; it’s useless to object – production comes first.

Connect the return pipe; the vibration is caused by the pump being blocked. Prolonged use results in significant wear and tear

Operating below the minimum flow rate can cause overheating inside the pump, leading to vaporization of the fluid!
