Have You Mastered These Five Methods Of Slurry Pump Flow Regulation?

Five methods to regulate the flow of the slurry pump: 1. Exit throttling flow regulation This is one of the more common flow regulation methods.Closed some valves of any form on the outlet pipe will add a system pressure head, so the system pressure head curve will intersect the slurry pump pressure head curve at a small flow rate.The throttling at the outlet moves the operating point to a lower efficiency point and there is a power loss at the throttle valve.Throttled to the dead point may cause liquid in the pump to overheat, bypasses may be used to maintain the necessary minimum flow rate, or different adjustment devices may be used.2. Adjust the throttling flow rate at the suction inlet.Then some power can be saved by throttling in the suction pipe.Since outlet throttling will cause liquid to overheat or vaporize, jet engine fuel slurry pumps often use inlet throttling.At small flow rates, the impellers of these pumps are only partially filled with liquid.Therefore, when the outlet is throttling, the flow rate of the condensate pump with an input power and temperature rise of about 1/30 of the full operating position of the impeller is usually controlled by the immersion depth, which is equivalent to the inlet throttling.This particular design can reduce cavitation damage from these pumps to a minor extent, but the energy levels also become quite low.    3. Adjust bypass adjustment   All or part of the flow can be diverted from the discharge pipeline of the slurry pump and directed to the suction port of the pump or other suitable points through the bypass pipe.One or more flow orifices and suitable control valves may be installed in the bypass.Metering bypass is usually used to reduce the flow of the boiler feed pump, mainly to prevent overheating.A considerable power saving can be saved if the excess flow of the bypass propeller pump is used instead of the outlet throttle.4. Speed \u200b\u200badjustment of flow rate adjustment           When adjusting the flow rate in this way, the required power can be reduced and overheating can be eliminated during the flow rate adjustment process.Steam turbines and internal combustion engines can easily adapt to speed adjustment at a very small additional cost.Various mechanical, magnetic, hydraulic transmissions, as well as DC and AC variable speed motors can be used to adjust the speed.Usually, variable speed motors are too expensive and can only be adjusted with adjustable blades when they have been proven to be worth it in special circumstances.After studying the adjustable guide vanes installed in front of the impeller, it was found that this method is effective in adjusting the pump at a specific speed of 5700 (2.086).The blades can produce forward pre-rotation, thereby reducing the indentation head, flow rate and efficiency.However, relatively small adjustment effects can be achieved only through the blades.With the constant change of the indenter and relatively small efficiency loss, a larger flow rate variation range can be obtained.5. Flow regulation and gas replenishment                Supplying air to the suction port of the slurry pump is also a method to regulate the flow rate. Throttled flow can save some power compared to the outlet.Generally speaking, air is not desired in the conveyed liquid. Too much air is always at risk of causing the pump to lose the filling head, so this method is rarely used in practice except in a few occasions.

Because they offer longevity, efficiency, and adaptability, horizontal slurry pumps are crucial for sectors handling abrasive slurries. Knowing their values, applications, and maintenance needs allows businesses to maximize performance and reduce expenses.
Commissioning of Slurry pumps
Slurry pump commissioning must be strictly conducted in accordance with established procedures: Prior to startup, first activate the shaft seal water and adjust it to the specified pressure. Fully open the inlet valve. For non-backflow pumps, water must be injected. After opening the outlet valve to one-quarter, initiate startup; During operation, monitor flow rate, head, current, vibration, and bearing temperature (temperature rise ≤35°C, maximum ≤75°C). Mechanical seal leakage should be ≤3-5 ml/h. Before stopping the pump, flush with clean water for 30 minutes, close the outlet valve first, then shut down the pump, and finally close the shaft seal water and inlet valve. It is strictly prohibited to fully open the outlet valve when stopping the pump to prevent water hammer. Throughout the entire trial operation process, ensure that parameters remain stable, avoid cavitation and overload conditions, to ensure safe operation of the equipment.
Common Problems During Feeding of Slurry Pumps
When a slurry pump malfunctions during operation, the first step is to identify the cause of the failure. Corresponding repair measures should be taken based on the characteristics of the failure and maintenance experience.
Aspects to Pay Attention to for Slurry Pumps to Run Stably and Efficiently in Series

The flowrate adjustment method of slurry pump can be selected in various ways according to different needs and occasions. The following are some common flowrate adjustment methods:
Five Main Reasons for the Blockage of Slurry Pumps
Uneven medium density is one of the reasons for the blockage of slurry pumps. When the medium density is uneven, the pump may vibrate at the beginning of the startup, but this vibration usually disappears when the pump starts normally.
