Problems with liquid sulfur pumps
Thread Content
The liquid sulfur pump rotated normally before it was installed, but it could no longer be rotated after it was mounted on the liquid sulfur tank. The liquid sulfur in the tank is entirely in liquid form; I’m not sure what’s going on Asked for advice
Is the indenter not sufficient? It’s still the pump’s own power that is too low... Please, those with experience below, provide a more detailed explanation!
It is likely that there is a problem with the steam heating system built into the fluid pump; first, check whether the heating system of the fluid pump is functioning properly. It’s likely that the fluid solidified after entering the pump, preventing it from rotating; never try to force it to turn.
Liquid sulfur pump, which manufacturer produces it? Our original liquid sulfur pump (from years ago) had its bearings seize to the shaft due to expansion at the temperature of liquid sulfur; it had to be ground before it could be used again. The next issue is heat tracing.
1. After the liquid sulfur pump is lowered into the tank, it expands and gets stuck due to temperature reasons. 2、There is sediment buildup blocking the liquid sulfur tank.
I guess everyone has run into this problem. First, check the heating systems, including the heating at the bottom of the liquid sulfur tank and the jacket heating using steam; if everything is in order. The pump still won’t rotate; there are two solutions. 1. The outlet valve is opened, and the liquid sulfur returns to that pump through the outlet of another operating pump; the effect of operating at low speed in reverse for a short period is minimal ； 2. On the pipe wrench.
The inlet filter of the liquid sulfur pump is pressed against the volute, which prevents the pump from rotating; raising the base of the liquid sulfur pump will solve this issue. The problem has been found; thank you all
