Choose a pump with proper head

Precautions when purchasing a pump and precautions when using a diesel pump. The lower the novice thinks, the smaller the diesel load. Under the misunderstanding of this misunderstanding, when the pump is purchased, the lift of the pump is often selected very high. In fact, for a self-priming trash pump, when the pump model is determined, the power consumption is proportional to the actual flow of the self-priming trash pump. The flow rate of 6 inch trash pump will decrease with the increase of the lift, so the higher the lift, the smaller the flow and the smaller the power consumption. Conversely, the lower the lift, the greater the flow and the greater the power consumed. Therefore, in order to prevent overload of the diesel engine, it is generally required that the actual pumping use of the pump should not be less than 60% of the nominal head. Therefore, when the high lift is used for low lift pumping, the diesel engine is easily overloaded and high temperature or black smoke. In severe cases, the diesel engine can be burned. If it is used in an emergency, a gate valve (or a small outlet such as wood) should be installed on the outlet pipe to reduce the flow, prevent the diesel engine from overloading or reduce the diesel engine speed. Pay attention to the temperature rise of the diesel engine. If the diesel engine is overheated, the flow rate of the small outlet should be shut down or shut down. This is also easy to misunderstand. Some operators think that blocking the water outlet and forcibly reducing the flow will increase the diesel load. In fact, on the contrary, the gate valve of the regular high-power centrifugal pump irrigation and drainage unit is equipped with a gate valve. In order to reduce the diesel engine load when the unit is started, the gate valve should be closed first. This is the reason for the valve to be gradually opened after the diesel engine is started.

self priming trash pump

Large diameter pump with small self priming sewage pump

Many users think that this can improve the actual lift, in fact, the actual lift of the pump = total lift - loss head. When the wet prime pump model is determined, the total lift is certain; the loss head is mainly from the pipeline resistance. The smaller the diameter, the greater the resistance, so the larger the lift head is. Therefore, after the pipe diameter is reduced, the actual lift of the pump cannot be increased. On the contrary, it will decrease, resulting in a drop in pump efficiency. In the same way, when the small-diameter 6 inch trash pump is pumped with a large water pipe, the actual lift of the water pump will not be lowered, but the loss head will be reduced due to the decrease of the resistance of the pipeline, so that the actual lift is improved. Some users think that when the small diameter pipe pump uses large water pipes to pump water, it will inevitably increase the diesel engine load. They think that the water in the outlet pipe will have a large pressure on the wet prime pump impeller after the pipe diameter is increased, thus greatly increasing the diesel engine load. As everyone knows, the magnitude of the liquid pressure is only related to the height of the lift, and has nothing to do with the cross-sectional area of ​​the water pipe. As long as the head is fixed, the impeller size of the pump is constant, and the pressure acting on the impeller is constant regardless of the diameter of the pipe. Only when the pipe diameter is increased, the water flow resistance will decrease, and the flow rate will increase, and the power consumption will also increase appropriately. However, as long as it is within the rated head range, the pump can work normally regardless of the pipe diameter, and it can also reduce the pipeline loss and improve the pump efficiency.

When installing the water inlet pipe, the horizontal section is horizontal or upturned

This will cause air to collect in the inlet pipe, reduce the vacuum of the water pipe and the engine driven trash pump, and reduce the suction head of the pump and reduce the amount of water. The correct way is: the horizontal section should be slightly inclined to the water source, should not be horizontal, and should not be lifted upwards.

More elbows on the inlet pipe

If there are many bends on the inlet pipe, it will increase the local flow resistance. And the elbow should turn in the vertical direction, and it is not allowed to turn in the horizontal direction to avoid collecting air.

The water inlet of the engine driven trash pump is directly connected to the elbow

This will result in uneven distribution of water as it passes through the elbow into the impeller. When the inlet pipe diameter is larger than the wet prime pump inlet, an eccentric reducer should be installed. The flat part of the eccentric reducer is to be mounted on the upper part, and the inclined part is placed below. Otherwise, the air will be collected, the amount of water will be reduced or the water will not be pumped, and there will be a crash. If the inlet pipe and the water inlet of the pump are equal in diameter, a straight pipe shall be added between the water inlet and the elbow of the pump. The length of the straight pipe shall not be less than 2 to 3 times the diameter of the water pipe.

The bottom section of the inlet pipe with the bottom valve is not vertical

If installed in this way, the valve cannot be closed by itself, causing water leakage. The correct installation method is: the inlet pipe with the bottom valve, the bottom section is vertical. If it cannot be installed vertically due to terrain conditions, the angle between the water pipe axis and the horizontal plane should be 60° or more.

The inlet of the inlet pipe is not in the right position.

(1) The inlet of the inlet pipe is smaller than the diameter of the inlet from the bottom of the pool and the wall of the pool. If there is dirt such as sediment at the bottom of the pool, the distance from the bottom of the pool to the bottom of the pool is less than 1.5 times the diameter, which will result in poor water intake during pumping or inhalation of debris and blockage of the water inlet.

(2) When the water inlet of the inlet pipe is not deep enough, this will cause a vortex on the water surface around the inlet pipe, affecting the inflow and reducing the amount of water. The correct installation method is: the water depth of the small and medium-sized water pump should not be less than 300 ~ 600mm, and the large water pump should not be less than 600 ~ 1000mm.

The outlet is above the normal water level of the outlet

If the water outlet is above the normal water level of the water outlet, although the pump lift is increased, the flow is reduced. If the water outlet must be higher than the water level of the pool due to terrain conditions, the elbow and short pipe should be installed at the nozzle to make the water pipe siphon type and reduce the height of the water outlet.
