How to warm up a high-pressure reciprocating pump

2015-09-11View Original

Thread Content

Our reaction feed pump is a high-pressure reciprocating pump with a feed rate of 30 tons per hour. The PID diagram does not indicate any specific line for warming the pump. I was wondering if experienced users have encountered this issue as well, and how they go about warming such pumps.

Is a high-pressure reciprocating pump a plunger pump? What is the temperature of your medium? Generally, plunger pumps cannot handle high-temperature media; then why is it necessary to warm the pump? Is the dielectric’s freezing point low?

Could you please elaborate on the feed pump of which unit, and what is the temperature of the pressure medium?

High-pressure reciprocating pumps for hydrogenation are usually pumpable by a booster pump; there’s no need for a heating pump! !

Bro, there are reciprocating high-pressure oil pumps.

A steam heat pump can be used. Steam is used to warm the pump at its cooling water inlet.

The raw material for our unit is wax oil, which has a high freezing point, but the oil pump is not equipped with a warm-up function. Before starting the pump, turn on the heat tracing for about 2 hours, then change the flow path and clean the lines leading to the pump, the pump itself, and the lines leading to the tank; once these lines are cleared, the system can be adjusted directly.
