What Are the Water Filling Methods for Centrifugal Pumps?
Centrifugal pumps (except self-priming pumps) must be filled with water before the start of the pump and the inlet pipe, otherwise, the pump will not work. After the centrifugal pump is started, there is no water, often because the air in the pump is not exhausted and the water is not filled. There are two main methods of filling water before starting: one is to use an assembled bottom valve to fill the water. The bottom valve is a one-way valve installed at the inlet of the inlet pipe. The disadvantage of this method is that the head of the bottom valve has a large loss of water, which affects The efficiency of the pump device; the other is to fill the water without a bottom valve. The biggest advantage of this method is energy saving. Compared with the pump station with a bottom valve, it can save 10% to 15% energy. Several water filling methods for centrifugal pumps are introduced below for users to choose when running the pump. 1. Self-inducing water filling method For ...
