Applicable media and noise of slide vane pumps
Thread Content
Dear teachers, I saw on the forum that some teachers said slide pump is suitable for lubricating media with viscosity, though not high, while others said it is suitable for gasoline and diesel, and that it produces low noise. Our oil depot is used for unloading gasoline, and I think a centrifugal pump with a low speed (1500 revolutions per minute) would be better. And our sliding vane pump is very noisy. Do any of the teachers have any experience to share? Thank you!
It is recommended to check the characteristics of the sliding vane pump; if it was designed originally, it’s best not to make any changes to it. It would be advisable to refer to pumps used in other similar industries before making a decision, as this can provide some guidance.
For transporting gasoline, a centrifugal pump is the better choice – it is durable and produces little noise.
The posts on the forum about slide vane pumps all say they can be used to drain gasoline and diesel. I personally also think that a centrifugal pump is the best choice for gasoline. Thank you, teacher!
