Precautions for the Operation of Split - Case Double - Suction Pumps

04 Jun 2025Email

           The split-case double-suction pump is a high-flow centrifugal pump, and it is the most frequently used water pump in working conditions such as municipal water supply and drainage, waterworks, and construction deep pit drainage, where the requirement for head is not high but the demand for flow is large.

1.Fault Handling  

             If any fault is found during the operation of the split-case double-suction pump, never allow it to continue working**. If the shaft packing of the split-case double-suction pump is completely worn, it should be replenished in a timely manner. Continuous use of the split-case double-suction pump will cause air leakage, which directly leads to an increase in motor energy consumption and damage to the impeller.  

 

2.Vibration Issue Handling  

               If strong vibration occurs when starting the split-case double-suction pump during use, it is necessary to stop the pump immediately to check the cause. Otherwise, it will also cause damage to the split-case double-suction pump.  

 

3.Mishandling of Bottom Valve Leakage  

               When the bottom valve of the split-case double-suction pump leaks, some people fill the inlet pipe of the split-case double-suction pump with dry soil and flush the valve end with water. This method is indeed not advisable. When the pump is running, dry soil will enter the pump through the intake pipe in the middle section of the activated split-case double-suction pump, thereby damaging the impeller and bearings of the split-case double-suction pump and shortening its service life. The leaking bottom valve must be repaired. If the situation is very serious, it must be replaced.  

 

4.Post-Use Maintenance  

             After using the split-case double-suction pump, maintenance must be paid attention to. For example, after use, water should be poured into the split-case double-suction pump for cleaning. It is best to remove the water pipe first and then flush it with water.  

 

5.Belt Maintenance  

              The belt of the double-suction water pump should also be unfastened, then rinsed with water, and dried in a well-lit place. Do not place the belt in a dark and damp place. The belt of the split-case double-suction pump must not be contaminated with oil, and no oil should be applied to the belt.  

 

6.Impeller Inspection and Maintenance  

             Carefully check whether the impeller has cracks and whether the fixing between the impeller and the bearing is loose. If there are cracks or looseness, timely maintenance is required. The impeller of the split-case double-suction pump should also be cleaned of any dirt.  

 

7.Interface Sealing Requirements  

               When connecting the split-case double-suction pump to the pipeline, good sealing must be ensured, as foreign matter entering the interior of the split-case double-suction pump will cause damage.  

 

8.Bearing Maintenance Focus  

             Inspection of the bearings of the activated split-case double-suction pump is also a key point. After use, check whether the bearings are worn. If the double-suction pump works for a long time, the balls in the bearings may break. Therefore, after using the split-case double-suction pump, it is best to apply a layer of lubricating oil to the bearings to better protect them.
