The use of a booster pump mainly includes preparation before installation, start-up and operation, as well as maintenance and upkeep steps. Here is a detailed usage guide: 1. Preparation before installation
1. Choose the appropriate booster pump: Select the appropriate booster pump model based on household water needs. Consider factors such as pipe diameter, power consumption, flow requirements, and head requirements to ensure that the booster pump can meet household water needs.
2. Check the installation environment: The booster pump should be installed in a location close to the water source, and ensure that the installation environment is well ventilated and free of flammable and explosive materials.
3. Installation of booster pump: The booster pump can be installed vertically or horizontally, and the direction of water flow should be consistent with the arrow direction indicated on the pump body- Install a valve externally for future maintenance- Install a pressure gauge at the outlet to check the head and flow rate at any time- Check if the connections between the components are tight and if there are any debris blockages inside the pump body- Ensure that there is no air leakage in the inlet pipe, and the booster pump should not idle for a long time before entering the water. 2、 Start running
1. Check the motor and pump body: Rotate the motor fan blades by hand, and the impeller should have no jamming or grinding, and rotate flexibly.
2. Exhaust and lubrication: - Open the inlet valve, open the exhaust valve to fill the entire pump chamber with liquid, and then close the exhaust valve- Manually rotate the pipeline booster pump to allow lubricant to enter the mechanical seal end face.
3. Start the motor: jog the motor to determine if the direction of rotation is correct- Fully open the inlet valve and close the outlet pipeline valve- Connect the power supply, gradually open the valve on the discharge pipeline when the booster pump reaches normal speed, and adjust it to the desired working condition.
4. Observation and adjustment: Pay attention to the instrument reading, check the leakage of the shaft seal, and under normal circumstances, the mechanical seal leakage should be less than 3 drops per minute- Check the temperature rise at the motor and bearings to ensure it does not exceed 70 ℃- If any abnormal situation is found, it should be dealt with in a timely manner. 3、 Maintenance and upkeep
1. Regular inspection: Check for any looseness in the booster pump pipeline and joints- Check the bearing temperature to ensure that it does not exceed the ambient temperature of 35 ℃ and the maximum temperature does not exceed 80 ℃- Regularly check the wear of the shaft sleeve, and replace it promptly if there is significant wear.
2. Lubrication and Cleaning: Add bearing lubricating oil into the bearing body and replace or replenish it in a timely manner- Within the first month of operation, the booster pump should change the lubricating oil after 100 hours, and then change the oil every 500 hours thereafter- Regularly adjust the packing gland to ensure normal dripping inside the packing chamber.
3. Winter antifreeze: If the ambient temperature is below 0 ℃, the liquid inside the pump should be drained to prevent freezing and cracking- When using a booster pump in the cold winter season, after parking, the drain plug at the bottom of the pump body should be unscrewed to drain the medium completely.
4. Long term shutdown treatment: When the booster pump is not in use for a long time, the pump should be completely disassembled, wiped dry, and the rotating parts and joints should be coated with grease and properly stored.
By following the above steps, the normal use, efficient operation, and extended service life of the booster pump can be ensured. In case of any problems during use, it is recommended to consult professionals or the manufacturer's after-sales service in a timely manner.
