The circulating water in mechanical pumps often gets scaled and clogged
Thread Content
The cooling water for mechanical pumps is recycled water; what should be done if scaling and blockages occur frequently?
Circulating water requires treatment, including sediment removal, scale removal, scale prevention, and sterilization. It’s because there is a lot of waste, it’s hard, and the temperature is high.
Regular cleaning, maintenance, and descaling are necessary; it is best to purify and soften the circulating water in order to resolve the problem at its root.
The blockages are mostly sedimentary substances; the solution is to tap, place, and flush them away.
Here, we have added a tee at the outlet of the pump cooling water; production is carried out intermittently, and after each batch of material has completed its reaction, it is rinsed with tap water. The effect is a bit better than before
Regular pickling. It seems to work pretty well. Don’t you check the small window during daily inspections?
Using softened water will prevent scaling
Check the quality of the circulating water to see if it needs to be cleaned or pre-coated. If the overall water quality is fine, then it’s likely that the circulation of the coolant in the pump is not effective enough, with too low a flow rate, which has led to scaling and blockages in the past!
If the water quality cannot be improved, clean it regularly
The hot oil pumps here often experience problems with the circulation water not flowing; usually, hydrochloric acid is poured in, or people try to fix it by knocking on them
