Preparing a "standby" boiler bottom pump is the "trump card" for ensuring uninterrupted continuous production!
To ensure production continuity, standby pump management should follow the following key points:
1. Selection and Acceptance
The standby pump must be identical to the main pump in model, specifications, and interface, and it must undergo a separate test run and acceptance to ensure performance meets standards.
2. Storage and Maintenance
Cleaning and Drying: Thoroughly clean and dry the interior to prevent corrosion and material buildup.
Sealing and Protection: Seal the inlet and outlet with flange blind plates, coat the shaft with anti-rust grease, and prevent aging of seals.
Regular Rotation: Manually rotate the coupling a few turns each month to prevent bearing seizure and lubricate the interior.
Environmental Control: Store in a dry and clean indoor environment, avoiding extreme temperatures and humidity.
3. Pre-Use Inspection
Before switching, fully preheat according to procedures, check fasteners, seals, and lubrication systems, and confirm everything is correct before putting into operation.
Through standardized standby pump management, quick and safe switching can be achieved, minimizing unplanned downtime to the greatest extent.
