What Issues Should Be Noted in The Operation Of Efficient And Intelligent Self Suction Pumps

Apr 22, 2024

Efficient intelligent self priming pump is a type of pump equipment that is widely used in industry, and everyone who uses it knows its characteristics. However, there are still many people who make mistakes in use, so we should continue to summarize our experience and reduce the problems in use. The relevant issues to pay attention to during the operation of a self priming pump are as follows.


The efficient and intelligent self suction pump does not require the installation of a low valve in the pipeline. Before operation, it only needs to retain a certain amount of liquid in the pump body, which simplifies the pipeline system and improves working conditions. The materials include cast iron and stainless steel. During self suction, an air water mixing layer is formed by the impeller. If there is too little water stored, the air water mixing layer will be very thin and the suction volume will be small. When there is very little water stored, it cannot effectively isolate the inlet and outlet of the mouth, and even communicate with each other, causing the vacuum degree at the inlet to be damaged. Test results of vacuum degree at pump inlet under different storage capacities. From the experiment, it can be seen that when the water storage capacity of the pump is less than 1.62, the pump cannot continuously pump air. When the water storage capacity is 21, the vacuum gauge stabilizes and starts to continuously pump air. As the water storage capacity increases, the vacuum degree also increases. After reaching a certain value, the vacuum degree no longer increases. This pattern is the same for various self-priming centrifugal pumps, but its values vary.


The theoretical value of the suction head of an efficient intelligent self suction pump is 10 meters. However, in practice, due to accuracy, efficiency, and other reasons, this number cannot be reached. Therefore, the installation height of the pump must be below this number. In practical applications, the suction height of the pump is 8 meters. Another name is the allowable installation height of the water pump.
