Overhaul the chlorine vacuum pump
Thread Content
Chlorine vacuum pump, made of titanium; after being reset, it operates for at most ten days before the shaft breaks, and there is corrosion as well as a tendency for physical fracture, though to a minor extent. How can this be resolved? Or if anyone has suggestions for a different material for the shaft, please recommend it
What type of vacuum pump is being used? A broken shaft is likely a physical issue. You might consider trying a vacuum pump with a different design; titanium is not durable in environments with high corrosion levels.
Regarding chlorine, isn’t a water ring pump used with concentrated sulfuric acid as the working fluid? Carbon steel material will do
