How to use a hydraulic booster pump?

Sep 11,2024

As a highly efficient fluid boosting device, the air-driven liquid booster pump is widely used in various industrial fields, such as petroleum, chemical engineering, construction, and mechanical manufacturing. Its operating principle is similar to that of a pressure booster, using a large-diameter air-driven piston to apply low pressure, generating high pressure on a small-area piston to achieve liquid pressure increase. This article will detail the usage steps and precautions for the air-driven liquid booster pump, helping users better understand this equipment.

I. Pre-use Preparation:

Check the power supply: Ensure the air-driven liquid booster pump is connected to the correct power source (usually AC) and verify that the voltage meets the equipment requirements. This is the foundation for ensuring normal equipment operation.

Check the equipment: Inspect all parts of the booster pump for looseness and check the pump body flow path for any foreign objects causing blockage. Also, observe whether the sealing rings are tightly fitted to prevent leakage.

Install the booster pump: Correctly install the booster pump on the pipeline, ensuring that the water flow direction is consistent with the arrow direction indicated on the pump body. During installation, try to choose the location closest to the water level and install it vertically or horizontally for easier maintenance and repair.

II. Operating Procedures:

Open the valve: Before starting the booster pump, open the valves on the pipeline to ensure that the pump does not generate excessive pressure during startup.

Connect to the power supply: Connect the booster pump to the power supply and check if the power cord is firmly secured in the socket. Note that a three-pin socket with a ground wire should be used to ensure equipment safety.

Adjust the pressure setting: Set the pressure range of the booster pump as needed. Most booster pumps have an adjustable pressure setter that users can adjust according to their actual needs.

Start the booster pump: Press the start button. If the equipment is operating normally, you should hear the pump start running. At this time, pay close attention to the booster pump's pressure gauge to ensure the pressure remains within a safe range.

Monitor pressure: During the pressure boosting process, continuously monitor the pressure gauge and adjust the pressure setting as needed. If any abnormal pressure or equipment abnormalities are detected, stop the equipment immediately for inspection.

Complete the pressure boosting task: After completing the pressure boosting task, turn off the booster pump and disconnect the power. Simultaneously, close the valves on the pipeline to prevent backflow and equipment damage.

III. Maintenance:

Regular cleaning: Regularly clean the booster pump to remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the pump body. Be careful not to damage the sealing rings and other vulnerable components during cleaning.

Check vulnerable parts: Regularly check if the sealing rings, bearings, and other vulnerable parts are worn or damaged; replace them promptly if necessary. The integrity of these vulnerable parts directly affects the performance and service life of the booster pump.

Establish maintenance records: Establish maintenance records for the booster pump, detailing the time, content, and repair status of each maintenance. This helps to timely identify and address equipment problems.

Train operators: Train operators on the usage and maintenance of the booster pump. This helps reduce equipment malfunctions and damage caused by improper operation.

IV. Precautions:

Adhere to operating procedures: When using the booster pump, strictly adhere to the operating procedures and safety regulations to ensure the safety of both equipment and personnel.

Prevent overload operation: Avoid prolonged operation of the booster pump under overload conditions, as this may damage the equipment or affect its service life.

Handle abnormal situations promptly: If any abnormal situations occur with the booster pump (such as abnormal pressure, increased noise, etc.), immediately stop the equipment for inspection and processing.

In summary, the use of air-driven liquid booster pumps requires following certain steps and precautions. Through correct usage and reasonable maintenance measures, the normal operation and extended service life of the booster pump can be ensured.
