How to troubleshoot centrifugal pump myself




Suction tube too high or too small or suction

too long, causing considerable friction loss - check with

meter

• Aspiration or turbine or the suction inlet fully

connected

• Wrong direction of rotation

Air pocket in suction line •

• Worn or stuffing box connected to a siphon,

so that air leaks in the casing of the pump

• Air leak in suction line.

Not enough water supplied

• coating and priming the suction pipe is not satisfied

with water

• The speed is too low

• higher prevalence than expected - Check

especially friction loss

• Suction pipe too high or the suction is too small or

too long causing excessive friction loss - check with

gauge

• Impeller or suction pipe opening, or partially connected to

• Wrong direction of rotation

• air pocket in suction line, perhaps due to high

vertical curvature or concentric reducers

suction line

• Worn or stuffing box connected to a siphon,

allowing an air leak in the pump

• Air leak in suction line

• Foot valve too small

• Foot valve is not immersed deep enough

• Mechanical failures - worn wear rings, impeller

damaged casing leaks.

Not enough pressure

• a speed too low

• Air to water

• The wheel diameter too small

• Mechanical failures - worn wear rings, impeller

damaged, defective packing box

• Wrong direction of rotation

• The pressure is measured incorrectly point - to measure

pressure at the top of the case of the pump.

The pump runs for a while and then closes

• Leak in the suction

• Housing worn or attached gland seal water

when air leaks into the pump

Air pocket in suction line •

• Not enough to lift the hot water or volatile

liquids - check carefully that this is a common cause of

problems with hot water, etc.

• air or gas in a liquid

• Suction lift too high.

Pump takes too much power

• speed of the motor is too high

• Head lower than rating, pumps too much water

• mechanical failure - tree bent, a rotating

liaison unit, the packing too tight, the pump and the driving

misalignment

• Wrong direction of rotation.

Pump leaks too gland

• Packing worn or poorly lubricated

• The package is not installed properly or not working properly

• Packing type incorrect for the treated liquid

• The tree marked.

The pump is too noisy

• Hydraulic Noise (cavitation) - Suction lift too high -

check with manometer

• Mechanical failure - the bent axle, rotating parts tie

Loose or broken, worn bearings of the pump, and

Guide unit of an angle.
