How to save electricity and energy in summer water pumps

 

 

In the hot summer, it is the peak period of water pump usage. How to use the water pump and what issues should be paid attention to in order to reduce energy consumption and save costs? Don't worry, please read on:
1. The surface of the pump and the inner surface of the pressurized water chamber (also known as the volute) are rusty and uneven. The rust and uneven surface will reduce the water volume of the pump by 7%-8%; only need to use steel brush and iron sandpaper or grinding wheel to smooth the pump to reduce the fuel consumption or power consumption during work by 9%-14%.

 

 

2. The gap of the sealing ring is increased. According to inspections, when the gap in the radial direction of the impeller is increased by 4 mm, the water volume of the pump will be reduced by 10%; only need to use organic adhesive and asbestos thread to restore the gap to the factory-specified gap during maintenance, and the oil consumption or Power consumption is reduced by 10%-12%.

 

 

3. The axis of the pressurized water chamber and the impeller do not coincide. According to the test, when the axis of the pressurized water chamber and the impeller deviate by 2 mm or the deflection angle is greater than 2 degrees, the pump water volume will be reduced by 5%-6%; during maintenance, only need to measure carefully, carefully locate the position where the axis coincides, and install it firmly. It can reduce the oil or electricity consumption of the pump by 6%-7%.

Fourth, the blade installation angle is inconsistent. When the blade installation angles are inconsistent, the pump water volume will be reduced by 5%; during maintenance, use an angle ruler to measure accurately, and the installation will be firmly aligned, which can reduce the fuel consumption or power consumption of the pump by 5%-6% during operation.
