The Roots vacuum pump has collided with its cylinder; seeking help
Thread Content
After the modification of the equipment to start processing Merey crude oil for asphalt production, an accident occurred just the day before yesterday: the Roots vacuum pump collided with its cylinder due to liquid presence. An inspection showed that the top cooling system was functioning well, with no signs of inadequate cooling. At the time of the incident, the top reduction temperature was 100° and the top reduction vacuum level was -0.098 kp. There is a small liquid cutting tank in front of the vacuum pump, but it seems to not be working. I’m completely confused about what exactly caused this. I’m seeking help from all the forum members :'(:'(:'(
Uh, it’s correct – it’s 98 KP. This Roots vacuum pump system consists of a piston compressor as the first stage, with two Roots pumps forming the second and third stages. The accident occurred at the output of the first-stage piston compressor; the cylinder head was cracked, but fortunately no one was injured
