The central support base of the high-temperature pump is cooled by water
Thread Content
Question: The central support base of high-temperature pumps is cooled by water. Which standard specifies the requirements regarding this, and at what temperature level is such a design necessary? Thank you!
There are some that don’t work. There is no mandatory requirement. Check the design of the manufacturer.
Generally, when the temperature of the medium exceeds 180 degrees, we design cooling water systems for the bearing housing; at the same time, the central support structure is enclosed and equipped with cooling water inlets and outlets； After being arranged in a K-type configuration according to the API specifications and connected in series to the central support of the pump body, manufacturers require that cooling water flow continuously during equipment operation ； As for the standards, it seems there are no special regulations either ； Sometimes, design institutes establish certain requirements for the relevant equipment; for example, they specify at what temperature bearing housings need to be cooled, whether central support should be used, and whether cooling water for the support bases is necessary ； :D
You can check SH/T 3139
Does the new version of API610 have no requirements?
Hot oil pump, 300 degrees; base support with cooling water; pump cooling system, large cover at over 80 degrees
