Fluctuations in the water level of water ring compressors
Thread Content
Guys, when the water ring compressor is started, there are fluctuations in the water level, the compressor vibrates intermittently heavily, and the temperatures of the bearings on the non-driving side are high. What could be the reasons for this?
When a water ring compressor is started, fluctuations in the water level and significant intermittent vibration of the compressor, along with high temperatures in the bearings on the non-driving side, can be attributed to the following factors: 1. Water supply issues: Unstable water pressure or insufficient water supply may cause fluctuations in the water level. It is recommended to check whether the water supply pipeline is operating properly, and to ensure that the water pressure and flow rate meet the requirements of the compressor. 2. Liquid backflow issue: Water ring compressors generate steam during operation, and if liquid backflow is poor, it can lead to fluctuations in the water level as well as intermittent vibrations. It is recommended to check whether the liquid return pipeline is unobstructed and to ensure that the return system is functioning properly. 3. Unbalanced load issue: Intermittent severe vibration in the compressor is likely caused by unbalanced bearings or incorrect installation. Check whether the bearing is balanced and ensure it is installed correctly. 4. High temperature issue: High temperatures in the non-driven-end bearings may be caused by friction, bearing wear, or insufficient lubrication. It is recommended to check whether the bearings need to be replaced or lubricated, and to ensure that the lubrication system is functioning properly. In summary, the issues of fluctuating water levels and excessive vibration in water ring compressors, as well as high bearing temperatures, may be related to factors such as water supply, liquid return, balanced load, and bearing wear. It is recommended to investigate each of these factors and address the related problems accordingly. .
Level fluctuations: If this refers to large fluctuations in the level of the separator associated with the liquid ring pump, it may be due to no liquid being present inside the pump before it is started. Intermittent vibration: The flow rate of the working fluid is unstable or low. The high temperature of the non-drive bearing may be caused by intermittent vibration.
Which company did this? Are there any photos of the equipment?
