Screw pump is a widely used in a variety of sewage transportation occasions pump equipment, its operating frequency for its performance has a critical impact. In practice, the low operating frequency of progressive cavity pumps is a topic of great concern.
The operating frequency of the screw pump is usually limited by the motor parameters, but more importantly, it needs to be determined according to the specific piping characteristics and fluid transportation needs. Generally speaking, when the screw pump motor rated frequency is 50Hz, the low value of its frequency conversion operation frequency may be between 20-25Hz. However, this is only a general range, the actual low operating frequency needs to be calculated and adjusted according to the specific circumstances.
The first thing we need to consider is the demand for fluid transportation. If the system needs to maintain a certain flow rate and pressure, then the operating frequency of the progressive cavity pump can not be too low, otherwise it may not be able to meet the conveying requirements. For example, in the pumping system of high-rise buildings, if the head of the pump is not enough to transfer water to the top floor, then the whole system will not work properly.
Secondly, we also need to consider the operating efficiency and life of the pump. Screw pumps run at low speeds, although the noise and wear and tear are relatively small, but the flow rate will be reduced accordingly. If it runs at a low frequency for a long time, it may affect the efficiency of the pump and even lead to pump damage. Therefore, when selecting the low operating frequency of the screw pump, it is necessary to comprehensively consider a number of factors such as flow, pressure, efficiency and life.
After, we also need to note that the low operating frequency of the pump is not fixed. With the change of piping characteristics, changes in fluid properties and equipment aging and other factors, the low operating frequency may also need to be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, in practical applications, we need to regularly check and evaluate the operation of the pump, and make the necessary adjustments and optimization according to the actual situation.
In summary, the low operating frequency of the screw pump is an important parameter that needs to be considered and determined according to the specific situation. In practical application, we need to consider and weigh a number of factors such as fluid transportation needs, piping characteristics, pump operating efficiency and life, in order to select the appropriate low operating frequency. Through reasonable selection and application, we can give full play to the performance advantages of Zhongcheng Pump Industry screw pumps and realize efficient, stable and reliable fluid conveying.
