5.1.3. Troubleshooting and solutions for water pump failures

Consequences of failure

Reason

Troubleshooting

 

Motor doesn't work

1. The power supply has malfunctioned.

2. The control circuit is defective.

1. Verify the power supply status - ensure the container's control cabinet is properly powered on or off.

2. Inspect the incoming and outgoing lines - confirm that the three-phase circuit connection sequence is correct, and address any abnormal indications from the container.

 

Pump flow is inadequate

1. The pipeline is obstructed.

2. Air inlet pipe.

3. The motor impeller connection is experiencing water leakage.

1. Inspect the pump - verify that the impeller disk of the pump is rotating in a regular and smooth manner.

2. Check the pipeline - after removing the water tank strainer, visually inspect the pipeline to see if there are any foreign objects in the pump head, the water tank level is detected by the level meter without replenishment, and there is no vortex in the water tank to absorb the empty situation.

3. Replace the worn wear ring as needed, refer to the instructional video for detailed steps.

Excessive pump power consumption

1. Flow rate is too large.

2. The motor bearings have significant wear and tear.

1. Verify the presence of any overload conditions and take appropriate measures to address the specific overload item.

2. Once the manufacturer has confirmed the extent of wear and tear, proceed with replacing the entire pump.

Excessive noise

1. Pump components are damaged.

2. Wear and tear on motor bearings.

3. Air in the pump.

1. Replace the impeller, which is a component located inside the pump.

2. Once the manufacturer has verified the wear and tear, proceed with replacing the entire pump.

3. To drain the water, use the exhaust bolt located on the flange side of the pump to direct the water out through the bolt hole. Refer to the exploded diagram for detailed instructions.

Motor is hot

1. Overloaded current exceeding limits

2. Water inlet flow is inadequate

1. Verify the system alarm message and ensure that the operating current does not exceed 5% of the rated current value.

2. Inspect the water level in the sink using the supplemental sink water level meter. Ensure that the system indicates a normal water level and that there are no vortexes in the sink, which could indicate an air suction or empty condition.

5.1.4 Regular inspection and maintenance of the water pump.

Inspection and replacement of the sealing documents - It is recommended to conduct this operation every six months, but if there is shutdown maintenance, winter operation, or operating conditions exceeding technical standards, the inspection and replacement cycle should be appropriately shortened. The sealing part of the fifth component of the mechanical seal is TG brand with a specification of 108-28.

Inspection of bearing rotation normality - It is also recommended to inspect the rotation state of the bearing every six months. However, if there is shutdown maintenance, winter use, or the operating environment is more stringent than the professional technical standards, the inspection cycle should be adjusted flexibly. The bearings are located at the output shaft end and inside the motor, and the selected bearing brand is NSK, with specifications including 6308ZZ C3/5C and 6309ZZ C3/5C.

5.2 Cooling tower fans

5.2.1 Composition of the fan:

The components of a wind machine are:

④ Impeller, which includes blade and hub

Transmission system: includes bearing seat, belt and pulley

⑧ Fan guide barrel

⑩ Protective net

⑫ Motor

Each blade is torque balanced before leaving the factory, and the entire set of wind blades is subjected to dynamic balancing test after assembly. Therefore, the blades cannot be disassembled, disassembled or repaired by yourself during use and maintenance, so as not to affect the balance accuracy of the blades.

Whether the wind turbine is installed on a frame or a foundation, these supporting structures must have sufficient strength, rigidity, and stability. This design aims to effectively absorb and isolate the vibrations generated during the operation of the fan, thus preventing resonance phenomena. At the same time, the foundation structure must not only bear the static load of the fan itself, but also bear the dynamic load and unbalanced inertial force caused by the rotation of the fan and aerodynamic effects.

5.2.2 Fan operating instructions

5.2.2.1 Operation after running

1) To ensure the stable operation of the fan, we need to closely monitor the vibration level of the fan shaft in all directions, including left-right, front-back, and up-down. The vibration speed must be strictly controlled within the limit value specified by the equipment on which the fan is installed, which is not to exceed 7 mm/s RMS (overall). Once the vibration speed exceeds this standard, the fan must be stopped immediately, and an in-depth investigation must be conducted to determine the cause of the abnormal vibration.

During the initial judgment of whether the fan has any abnormal phenomena, we can listen to the noise and observe the heat dissipation of the entire unit. Only when these initial checks do not reveal any obvious abnormalities can we further measure the vibration level of the fan.

It is worth noting that if the vibration measured by a vibration tester falls within the range of 7-12 mm/s RMS (overall), the fan can be operated for a period of time to resolve the vibration issue.

2) After the fan has been in operation for 50-75 hours, check if the fan blade U-bolt ② is loose.

3) Preventive maintenance plan

(1) Regularly inspect the hardware status inside the fan

The inspection interval depends on the operating conditions of the turbine, ranging from two weeks to six months.

Inspections include:

* Bolt torque

* Corrosion of fasteners

* General condition of blades and blade shaft

To maintain smooth operation and proper balancing of the fan, please regularly clean the dust and dirt on the surface of the fan blades. Once the dirt accumulation thickness exceeds 1 mm, please use a scraper to remove it to avoid affecting the normal operation of the fan due to dirt accumulation.

(2) During the operation of the fan, icing on the blade surface is strictly prohibited. If the fan blades are iced in a stationary state, they must be de-iced before startup. Additionally, it is recommended to regularly remove snow from the blades to ensure the normal operation of the fan.

(3) If the fan is stopped for a long time, it is recommended to start and operate it for 10 to 15 minutes every month to allow the bearing grease to distribute evenly on the steel balls, protecting the bearings. Before restarting, make sure to check the operation of all bearings, and if any are found to be inflexible or jammed, replace them immediately. Furthermore, it is recommended to conduct a routine inspection of the motor every three months.

(4) Important note: During extreme weather conditions such as typhoons, sandstorms, severe convective weather, heavy rain, hail, etc., please ensure to turn off the operating fan to reduce potential damage caused by external environmental factors, thus ensuring the normal service life of the fan.

4) Common causes of fan failures and troubleshooting solutions

Malfunction

Reason

Troubleshooting

 

Fan exhibiting vibration and unusual noise

1. The balance block on the wheel hub is dislodged or the balance is not calibrated after overhaul. (See the exploded view for the location of the wheel balancing block)

Perform wheel rebalancing or conduct an on-site balancing test to ensure proper rotation.

2. The installation angles of the blades are not uniform, resulting in a blade height difference that exceeds the specified requirements.

Visually inspect the blades to detect any deformations.

3.The surface of the blade exhibits uneven adhesion.

Thoroughly clean the blade surfaces to remove any dirt or debris.

4.The clearance between the impeller and the wind cylinder is uneven.

Initially check for any friction between the impeller and the wind cylinder, ensuring a uniform spacing (with an error not exceeding 5MM).

 

5.Damage to the spindle bearing.

Upon confirmation by the manufacturer, replace the bearings or the entire machine, if necessary.

 

Unbalanced three-phase current

1.Imbalance in the power supply voltage.

Measure the power supply voltage and identify the cause of any irregularities.

 

2.Failure of the windings.

Determine the cause of any resistance issues and make repairs accordingly (ensuring that the three resistance values are consistent).

Motor's rated current exceeds the limit

1.Intrinsic failure of the motor.

1. Identify and address the root cause of any issues promptly.

2.The power supply voltage exceeds the standard voltage.

Measure the power supply voltage to determine the cause and opt for a higher-quality power grid, if possible.

Airflow below the required level

1.The impeller is rotating in the opposite direction.

1. Adjust the wiring phase sequence to ensure that the fan blades rotate in the direction indicated by the arrow.
