What is the maximum particle diameter that the medium transported by a magnetic pump can have? How then can we determine how many mesh sizes of filter should be installed at the pump inlet accordingly?
Each manufacturer uses different technologies; the thickness ranges from 0.15 mm to 0.2 mm, and the volume content should not exceed 5%. It is recommended to use filters with a mesh size of 40–60
The friend on the 5th floor covered everything very thoroughly. When the concentration and particle size are too high, it falls under the category of two-phase flow pumps, and filters won’t be effective in this case. Additionally, ferromagnetic particles must be eliminated and separated; you can also install a suspension separator in the circulation circuit depending on the characteristics of the particles
Magnetic pumps are quite sensitive to vacuum conditions; careful consideration should be given when selecting the filter mesh size. Don’t choose a mesh that is too fine, as this could damage the pump due to the resulting vacuum conditions:lol
There’s no need for excessive worry; the pump can’t withstand operation without liquid, and it lacks protection. The motor does have protection, but it triggers too early
60 mesh is better; if the medium gets dirty, the filter needs to be cleaned more frequently, and there’s a concern about it getting empty
It is best to use particles with a size of 40–60 mesh; materials that are paramagnetic should be avoided as they accelerate wear, such as iron and cobalt.
The solid content should not exceed 10%, right? You can take a look at the article on selection available at http://www.scpump.net/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=30
