The pump draws water from the bottom of the tower; there is no level gauge. What can be installed to prevent the pump from sucking in air or running dry, thereby protecting it? For example, can a pressure gauge for low-pressure protection be installed on the suction pipe?
Make a water-sealing tank; when stopping the pump, close the outlet first and then the inlet. If the inlet pipeline is relatively long, a valve can be installed at a distance from the pump
For electrical systems, installing an overload protector will solve the problem
The key is to determine when the pump is about to reach vacuum, which needs to be achieved through instrument-based automatic control
The key is to determine when the pump is about to reach vacuum – whether it has already reached vacuum under no-load conditions, or if there is already a delay ?
It’s impossible to determine the level without a level gauge for pumping; pressure gauges are not useful as they don’t have such high precision. Stopping the pump immediately after finishing use will not damage it
It is also possible to install a pressure gauge on the pump inlet pipeline to interlock the pump, but the tower pressure should remain relatively constant. Rather than making such modifications, it is more accurate to install a level switch or level gauge at the bottom of the tower.
After experiencing several instances of pump damage caused by power interruptions, we have installed low-current protection (automatic shutdown of the pump at low current levels) on all our magnetic pumps.
It’s better to install a liquid level gauge; it facilitates the operation of the tower, ensures stable operation, prevents operation without liquid, and provides protection against empty-load conditions
