Many customers use mud pumps, they always pay attention to the work efficiency. After all, with a higher operating efficiency of the equipment, the work can be completed faster and smoother. But in the process of using, it is inevitable to encounter some failures, so what are the factors that affect the working efficiency of the equipment? Let us analyze it for you!
1. During the operation of the mud pump, the phenomenon is prone to idling during the operation, which is caused by the clogging of the filter cylinder and the intake of the pipeline.
2. The employees did not pay attention to the preparation work before starting, they did not perform routine operations such as warming the mud pump, or performed substandard operation steps, which caused the mud pump to often produce cavitation. As a result, the equipment has high noise, high vibration frequency and low work efficiency.
3. During operation, the efficiency of the motor remains unchanged, so it is particularly important to match a motor with high efficiency. During operation, it is inevitable to encounter hydraulic wear. The longer of the equipment runs, the surface of the impeller and guide vane is easier to wear, the hydraulic loss will increase, and the hydraulic efficiency will decrease.
4. The efficiency of the equipment itself is more critical. Under the same working environment, the operating efficiency of mud pumps with different performances varies by more than 15%, and the mechanical efficiency determines the working efficiency. Before selecting a pump, it is necessary to consider the design technology and manufacturing quality of the pump.
5. Volume loss. This loss is also called leakage loss, which includes three types of leakage losses: impeller seal ring, interstage, and axial force balance mechanism. The factors that determine volumetric efficiency are not only related to design and manufacture, but also related to later maintenance. Therefore, after the equipment has been in operation for a period of time, the long-term friction between the components will directly cause the gap between the parts to increase and the overall work efficiency to decrease.
What are the factors that affect the working efficiency of the mud pump? The above briefly introduces five influencing factors for everyone. Users will inevitably encounter problems when using the equipment, so regular maintenance of the equipment can improve work efficiency.
