Application of magnetic pumps in new energy fields

2025-04-01

As the global energy structure accelerates its transformation to clean and low-carbon, breakthroughs in new energy technology have become the core driving force for sustainable development. Whether it is solar energy, hydrogen energy or lithium battery manufacturing, the safe and efficient transportation of fluids is still a key link in the implementation of technology. With its unique advantages such as zero leakage, corrosion resistance and high stability, magnetic drive pumps are becoming the "invisible guardian" in the field of new energy, injecting double guarantees of safety and efficiency into the energy revolution.

 

I. Core application scenarios of magnetic drive pumps in the field of new energy

magnetic drive pumps

1. Liquid flow battery energy storage system: solving the problem of electrolyte circulation

Liquid flow batteries (such as all-vanadium liquid flow batteries) store and release energy through electrolyte circulation, but electrolytes are often highly corrosive. Traditional mechanical pumps are prone to leakage due to seal failure, which brings safety hazards and environmental pollution. The magnetic drive pump adopts magnetic coupling technology and uses non-contact transmission between the inner and outer magnetic rotors to completely eliminate the risk of leakage of mechanical seals.

 

2. Lithium battery manufacturing: ensuring accurate delivery of chemicals

Lithium battery production requires precise control of the flow and pressure of electrolytes and organic solvents. The pulsation-free delivery of magnetic drive pumps prevents chemical stratification or oxidation. Its fluoroplastic lining and ceramic bearings can withstand highly corrosive media such as hydrofluoric acid.

 

3. Thermal energy storage systems: reliable carriers of high-temperature media

In molten salt storage and phase change material systems, magnetic drive pumps operate for long periods of time in environments exceeding 300°C. They stably transport molten salt or thermal oil through high-temperature resistant alloys and dynamically balanced impellers.

 

4. Solar photovoltaic systems: efficient cooling solutions

In photovoltaic systems, magnetic drive pumps can realize liquid circulation in cooling components such as water pumps and water tanks, thereby improving system efficiency, reducing maintenance costs, and avoiding leakage problems common to traditional pumps.

 

5. Wind energy: improving reliability in harsh conditions

Magnetic drive pumps can be used as oil pumps or lubricant pumps in wind turbines to ensure reliable fluid delivery. Its leak-free design can significantly improve the operational stability of remote or offshore wind farms.

 

6. Hydrogen fuel cells: safe handling of hydrogen

Hydrogen fuel cells require high-pressure delivery of liquid hydrogen and coolant. Traditional pumps have the risk of explosion due to seal failure, while the fully sealed structure and high pressure resistance (up to 25MPa) of magnetic drive pumps can safely handle flammable and explosive media.

 

II. Technical advantages and industry certification of magnetic drive pumps

magnetic drive pumps

1. Zero leakage design: Eliminate risks at the source. Magnetic drive pumps replace mechanical seals with magnetic transmission to prevent leakage of toxic and flammable media.

 

2. Improve energy efficiency: Reduce energy consumption and noise. Compared with traditional pumps, magnetic drive pumps reduce mechanical friction losses, reduce energy consumption by 15-20%, and minimize noise pollution.

 

3. Wide application: Adapting to diversified energy needs, magnetic drive pumps are widely used in energy fields such as solar energy, batteries, and wind energy to meet the needs of various clean energy technologies.

 

From liquid flow batteries to hydrogen energy systems, magnetic drive pumps are driving the safety and efficiency upgrades of the new energy industry. As the global demand for clean energy surges, these pumps will show irreplaceable value in more scenarios-they are not only fluid transmission equipment, but also the core engine of the green revolution in the new energy era.

2. Diaphragm pump: No seal structure, strong self-priming ability, handle slurries with solid content ≤25% (such as electroplating sludge).

 

IV. High/Low Temperature Chemical Pump Media

High temperature media: thermal oil (≤350°C), molten salt (≤500°C), high temperature steam condensate

Low temperature media: liquid nitrogen (-196°C), LNG (-162°C)

 

Recommended pumps:

1. High temperature chemical pumps: use heat-resistant alloy steel and silicon carbide mechanical seals, with a continuous operating temperature of 350°C. Commonly used in petroleum refining (such as heavy oil hydrogenation).

2. Low temperature chemical pumps: designed for low temperature fluids such as LNG.

 

V. High purity and sanitary chemical pump media

Electronic grade hydrofluoric acid (Fe ion <1ppm), pharmaceutical injection, food additives (such as dairy products)

 

Recommended pumps:

1. Sanitary stainless steel centrifugal pumps (316L electropolished): meet the sanitary standards of the pharmaceutical/food industry.

2. Ceramic pumps: smooth silica surface prevents contamination and resists most strong acids (except HF).

Chemical pump media

Note: This article provides general chemical pump selection recommendations based on chemical pump media characteristics. Changyu Pump & Valve suggests that the selection of chemical pumps must also consider site conditions, operating parameters, pipeline layout and ambient temperature, not just the medium characteristics.

Centrifugal pump operating steps and operating precautions‌

2025-03-19

The centrifugal pump is a core equipment widely used in the three major industries of water treatment, petrochemical industry and agricultural irrigation. Its high efficiency, energy saving and reliability make it widely used in many industries. As key equipment, centrifugal pumps are used to varying degrees in various industries, and their design and maintenance need to take actual working conditions into consideration. Therefore, in actual use, reasonable operating procedures are crucial. It can not only help users better understand and manage the operation of the equipment, but also effectively improve the service life and economic benefits of the equipment.

 

I: 7 major operating steps of centrifugal pump:

Centrifugal Pumps

Step 1: "5 inspections" before starting the centrifugal pump

1. Check the status of the centrifugal pump and motor to ensure that there is no obvious abnormality and meet the working conditions

 

2. Check whether the connection of each part is good, whether the anchor bolts are firm, and whether the lubricating oil is sufficient (the oil level needs to be kept between 1/2-2/3) ‌

 

3. Fill the pump, check the water level, and the pipe and pump body must be filled with water (water can be seen from the exhaust hole with the naked eye)

 

4. Check the valve: the inlet valve is fully open, and the outlet valve is closed to 1/4 first (to prevent overload at startup)

 

5. Check the instrument: Is the pressure gauge zeroed? Is the voltage normal? Is the ground wire securely connected?

 

Step 2: Test the feel of the gear by turning the coupling manually for 2 to 3 turns. If it is normal, it will be smooth and without jamming. If jamming and friction sound occur, stop the machine immediately for inspection.

 

Step 3: Press the centrifugal pump switch, press the start button and release it immediately (no more than 2 seconds). Correct steering: The centrifugal pump body vibrates little and the sound is stable (refer to the direction of the arrow on the pump body). If reversal occurs, cut off the power immediately and replace the motor wiring.

 

Step 4: Formal start of the centrifugal pump, slowly open the outlet valve, and control the process within 30 seconds. At the same time, observe the pressure gauge: stable in the green area (such as 0.4-0.6MPa). If the pressure fluctuates, it may be air intake. If the current exceeds the red line, you need to close the valve immediately.

 

Step 5: During the operation of the centrifugal pump, you must "look at three things and listen at one time". Look at the pressure: fluctuation ≤10%, look at the temperature: bearing temperature ≤75℃, look at the leakage: leakage at the machine seal is ≤3 drops per minute, and listen to the abnormal sound: humming sound is normal, metal friction sound is dangerous!

 

Step 6: The shutdown sequence must be correct. First close the outlet valve (to prevent water hammer impact), then press the stop button, close the pressure gauge hand valve, wait until the pump temperature drops below 80 degrees before stopping the cooling water, and finally close the inlet valve as needed (if it is out of service for a long time), and drain the inside of the pump body.

 

Step 7: Winter special operation, when the ambient temperature is less than 5℃: the water in the centrifugal pump should be drained in time to prevent freezing and cracking, and then low-temperature grease should be added to the bearings

 

II: 5 taboos during the operation of centrifugal pumps

Centrifugal Pumps

1: No idling must not exceed 30 seconds, and the centrifugal pump body should be affixed with a "No idling" label and a dry-running protector

 

2: Do not use the valve to "hold pressure" to adjust the flow, which will seriously cause the motor to overload and burn out. If there is a need for adjustment, the centrifugal pump variable frequency motor or cutting impeller should be replaced

 

3: Pumping liquid containing particles without a filter can easily break the impeller and incur high replacement costs

 

4: The centrifugal pump directly pumps high-temperature liquid. During the use of the centrifugal pump, the temperature difference of >50℃ will explode the seal, and it is generally preheated in advance (temperature rise ≤3℃ per minute)

 

5: Maintenance under pressure, this illegal operation is expressly prohibited, and the correct operation should be shutdown → pressure relief → hang up → double confirmation

 

III. FAQ

Centrifugal Pumps

Question 1: No water after starting?

- Check 1: Is the centrifugal pump filled with water? (Re-exhaust)

- Check 2: Is the inlet valve blocked? (Disassemble and check)

- Check 3: Is the motor reversed? (Change the line sequence)

 

Question 2: Sudden large vibration during operation?

Possible causes:

1. Impeller blocked (stop and clean)

2. Loose anchor bolts (tighten diagonally)

3.Bearing wear (locate the abnormal sound point with a stethoscope)

 

Question 3: Severe water leakage at the seal?

- Temporary treatment: tap the sealing gland lightly (adjust the gap)

- Fundamental solution: replace the mechanical seal

Chemical Pump Selection Guide

2025-03-19

(Practical dry goods that ordinary people can understand)

Why is your chemical pump always "unsuitable"? The high-performance "centrifugal pump" bought for 150,000 yuan leaked and stopped working in less than 3 months? The repair cost was 80,000 yuan. What's the problem? Is it really the quality of the manufacturer? It's not necessarily the case. It is very likely that the problem is in the selection process. The parameters of the chemical pump and the actual working conditions are "incompatible". Choosing the wrong model of chemical pump will waste money at best and cause safety accidents at worst!

 

 

Misunderstanding 1: Only look at the flow and head, and ignore everything else

 

 

Chemical pumps

 

Many users often rely on experience to estimate the flow and head of chemical pumps, but if they do not fully consider the actual situation, it may affect the matching of pump performance. For example, in the case of high-viscosity liquids, the starting torque requirement is high. If the power is not adjusted in time during selection, it may cause motor overload or pump damage.

 

 

When choosing a chemical pump, you must ask these questions:

- Medium composition (solid content? Corrosive? Flammable and explosive? Acid, alkali, salt, toxic and sticky, ask everything)

- Working temperature (normal temperature? High temperature? Low temperature? Low temperature needs insulation, high temperature prevents cavitation)

- Flow rate and head (through actual measurement or calculation with professional software, ensure that the performance curve of the pump matches the actual working conditions)

- Running time (continuous operation or intermittent use?)

- Installation environment (indoor? Outdoor? Explosion-proof area?)

 

 

Misunderstanding 2: Not fully considering pipeline pressure drop and other technical parameters:

 

 

Because of the mismatch of pipelines, the actual performance of chemical pumps is not as expected. In addition to the chemical pumps themselves, you should also pay attention to the length, diameter, pressure drop, etc. of the pipeline when selecting to ensure a comprehensive selection.

 

 

Misunderstanding 3: Ignoring daily maintenance costs

 

 

Chemical pumps

 

 

You will understand after doing the math:

 

Chemical pumps

 

 

While considering the initial investment, you also need to consider the later maintenance and operation costs of the equipment. You need to comprehensively evaluate the costs before and after, and choose a chemical pump with high cost performance.

 

 

Misunderstanding 4: Not paying attention to the details of chemical pump selection

 

Chemical pumps

 

 

The last thing to consider is the energy consumption requirements under environmental protection. Exceeding the energy consumption standard is not allowed in some areas, so the product must meet the latest GB 19762 energy efficiency standard. Secondly, when the chemical pump is repaired, can the manufacturer provide a 10-year spare parts supply commitment? If there is a need for transformation, can it adapt to the factory's intelligent transformation needs (such as adding sensors)? How long is the warranty period? How long is the delivery period? What should I do if the performance does not meet the standard? These questions must be confirmed with the manufacturer one by one

 

 

According to the above methods, the selection misunderstandings of chemical pumps can basically be avoided.

Comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of centrifugal pumps

2025-03-19

As the "liquid porter" in the industrial field, centrifugal pumps are responsible for more than 70% of the world's fluid transportation tasks. From waterworks to petroleum refining, this rotating machinery's impellers spin thousands of times per minute, creating astonishing industrial efficiencies. This article will disassemble the advantages and disadvantages of centrifugal pumps in plain language, and attach a practical selection parameter table and a guide to avoid pitfalls.

 

1. Advantages of centrifugal pumps

centrifugal pumps

1. Simple structure:

The centrifugal pump has only 6 main components: impeller, pump body, shaft, bearing, seal, coupling, simple structure, few failures, durable, and low manufacturing and later maintenance costs.

 

2. Uniform flow

The flow and pressure of the centrifugal pump are stable, and the operation is smooth, which is very important for use scenarios that require stable flow output.

 

3. High efficiency

The efficiency curve is parabolic: the best efficiency point (BEP) can reach 92%. The efficiency of the centrifugal pump is much higher than other types of pumps, which can reach more than 50%, which can save a lot of energy.

centrifugal pumpscentrifugal pumps

 

4. Wide range of applications

According to the structure: single-stage/multi-stage, single-suction/double-suction

According to the medium: corrosion-resistant pump, impurity pump, high-temperature pump

According to the installation: vertical, horizontal, pipeline

Centrifugal pumps can transport a variety of liquids such as clean water, sewage, seawater, oil and chemicals, and are widely used in municipal engineering, agricultural irrigation, industrial production, ships and other fields.

 

5. Stable flow and easy adjustment

Centrifugal pumps can work stably in a wide flow range, and the flow can be easily adjusted by adjusting the speed, impeller diameter or changing the opening of the pump outlet valve.

 

2. Disadvantages of centrifugal pumps

1. Before running the centrifugal pump, the pump must be filled with liquid, because if the centrifugal pump runs dry for 5 minutes, the life of the bearing will be reduced by 80%, greatly increasing the failure rate of the centrifugal pump.

 

2. Centrifugal pumps are sensitive to cavitation, which causes damage to the impeller. Cavitation must be prevented during use. The required NPSHr is 3-5 times higher than that of the positive displacement pump!

Anti-cavitation formula:

Actual NPSHHa = atmospheric pressure (10.33m) - vaporization pressure - suction line loss - installation height

Safety criteria: NPSHa ≥ NPSHr + 0.5m

 

3. Centrifugal pumps are sensitive to high-viscosity liquids. The higher the viscosity, the lower the efficiency and performance. They are not suitable for high-viscosity fluids and need to choose other types of pumps (such as screw pumps, gear pumps, etc.).

4. The head of a centrifugal pump is greatly affected by the flow rate. When the flow rate deviates from the design, the head will drop significantly.

 

III. Comparison table of centrifugal pump selection parameters

Centrifugal pumps are like "panacea" in the industrial field. Their universal advantages coexist with the defects of working condition sensitivity. Therefore, detailed working condition simulation must be carried out when purchasing. For special medium transportation, the "centrifugal pump +" combination solution can be considered. It is recommended to ask the manufacturer to recommend a suitable centrifugal pump combination solution.

 

Comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of magnetic pumps

2025-03-19

Magnetic pumps, also known as magnetic drive pumps, are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, electroplating and other industrial fields. With its "zero leakage" design, it has become a star equipment for high-risk media transportation. This article introduces the advantages and disadvantages of magnetic pumps in detail to solve customers' purchase questions!

 

1. Advantages of magnetic pumps

Magnetic pump

1. "Zero leakage" design

The magnetic pump completely eliminates the traditional mechanical seal structure and uses a permanent magnetic coupling to achieve power transmission. Its core advantage is that it is particularly suitable for conveying highly corrosive, flammable, and explosive media.

 

2. Low operating cost

The magnetic pump uses a permanent magnetic structure, there is no contact and friction, the power consumption is small, and the energy consumption is reduced by 20-35%. Under the premise of the working conditions, it can significantly reduce the operating cost.

Magnetic pump

3. Long service life

Because the magnetic pump has no mechanical friction design, the bearing life is extended by 3-5 times, and the overall service life will be longer.

 

4. Excellent corrosion resistance

Optional materials include:

- Hastelloy C276 (resistant to 98% concentrated sulfuric acid)

- Polytetrafluoroethylene lining (resistant to hydrofluoric acid)

- Silicon carbide sealing surface (resistant to strong alkali)

 

II. Disadvantages of magnetic pumps

Magnetic pump

1. High initial investment cost. Due to the cost of accessories, the price of magnetic pumps is generally 2-3 times that of ordinary centrifugal pumps

 

2. Medium and temperature adaptability restrictions. Magnetic pumps should pay attention to the following on the medium: solid particle content must be less than 0.1%, viscosity must be less than 500cP, and the temperature range is -20℃~250℃ (special design can reach 350℃)

 

3. Low efficiency. Due to the limited size of impellers that can be used for magnetic pumps, the flow rate of magnetic pumps is usually lower than that of traditional centrifugal pumps, resulting in relatively low efficiency.

 

4. The magnetic pump and the motor are connected by a coupling. The coupling requires high precision in alignment. Improper alignment will cause damage to the bearing at the inlet and wear of the single-sided leakage prevention isolation sleeve.

 

3. Comparison table of key selection parameters

Magnetic pump

The "zero leakage" advantage of magnetic pumps in terms of safety and environmental protection makes them standard equipment for modern chemical production. Although the initial investment of magnetic pumps is relatively high, the comprehensive benefits brought by magnetic pumps are still very significant through the cost analysis of the entire life cycle such as environmental protection, safety, and energy saving. It is recommended that manufacturers select pumps reasonably according to actual working conditions when purchasing.

Daily Maintenance of Magnetic Pumps

2025-03-19

Magnetic pumps play an important role in industrial production. To ensure their stable and efficient operation, daily maintenance work needs to be carried out from multiple aspects.

 

Monitoring of Operating Parameters

(1) Flow Monitoring

 

Flow is a key parameter for measuring the working efficiency of magnetic drive pumps. A flowmeter is used to measure and record the flow of the pump regularly. If there are abnormal changes in the flow, the cause needs to be investigated in a timely manner. For example, if the flow gradually decreases, it may be due to the accumulation of impurities in the impeller from the conveyed medium, affecting the normal delivery of the liquid. At this time, the impeller should be cleaned or the filter at the inlet should be checked for blockage. If there is a sudden drop in flow, it may be that the magnetic coupling has failed, affecting the rotational speed of the impeller, and the coupling needs to be inspected and repaired.

Magnetic Pump

 

(2) Pressure Inspection

 

Pay close attention to the magnetic drive pumps's inlet and outlet pressures. High outlet pressure may be due to blockage of the outlet pipeline, such as scale build-up or accumulation of foreign objects in the pipeline. The pipeline should be cleaned in a timely manner. Low outlet pressure may be due to damage to the impeller, poor sealing, or internal leakage. Low inlet pressure may cause cavitation, and the tightness of the inlet pipeline and the patency of the filter need to be checked. Timely detection of problems through pressure changes can effectively avoid further damage to the equipment.

 

(3) Temperature Monitoring

 

Regularly detect the temperatures of the magnetic drive pump body, isolation sleeve, and motor. An abnormal increase in the pump body temperature may be due to bearing wear, insufficient lubrication, or increased friction between the impeller and the pump casing. An excessively high temperature of the isolation sleeve may be due to increased friction between the internal magnetic rotor and the isolation sleeve or a failure of the cooling system. An excessively high motor temperature may be due to overload, poor heat dissipation, or an electrical fault. When the temperature exceeds the normal range, the machine must be stopped for inspection to prevent component damage.

 

Visual Inspection

(1) Leakage Inspection

 

Leakage inspection of magnetic drive pump is of crucial importance. Check the pump body, pipeline connection parts, and possible shaft seal locations. If leakage is found, in the sealing gasket, it may be that the gasket is aged or damaged and needs to be replaced in a timely manner. If there are cracks in the pump body causing leakage, minor cracks can be repaired, while severe ones require consideration of replacing the pump body.

 

(2) Inspection of Component Condition

 

Check the integrity of components such as the pump body, impeller, and coupling. The pump body should show no signs of deformation or corrosion. If there is corrosion, corresponding anti-corrosion measures can be taken or replacement can be carried out according to the degree of corrosion. The blades of the impeller should not be worn or broken, otherwise, the performance of the pump will be reduced. The coupling should be checked for looseness and wear to ensure a tight connection and good alignment. If there are problems, adjustments or replacements should be made in a timely manner.

 

Lubrication Maintenance

(1) Lubricating Oil Management

 

The lubricating oil in the bearing box has a great impact on the normal operation of the magnetic pump. Regularly check the oil level to ensure that it is within the range specified by the oil gauge. If it is too low, the bearings will not be lubricated adequately, and if it is too high, overheating and oil leakage may occur. At the same time, observe the oil quality. If the oil color turns black, there are impurities, or emulsification occurs, the lubricating oil should be replaced in a timely manner. Generally, it is replaced every 1,000 - 2,000 hours of operation. When replacing, the bearing box should be thoroughly cleaned.

 

(2) Grease Replenishment (if applicable)

 

For parts lubricated with grease, regularly check the remaining amount of grease. When the grease is insufficient, replenish it according to the regulations, taking care to avoid mixing in impurities to ensure the lubrication effect.

 

Maintenance of Key Components

(1) Maintenance of Magnetic Coupling

 

The magnetic coupling is the core component of the magnetic pump. Regularly check its magnetic strength and coupling condition. This can be judged by observing the operating state of the pump, such as whether the rotational speed is stable and whether there are abnormal vibrations. If a decrease in magnetic strength or decoupling phenomenon is found, it may be that the magnets are damaged or aged, the magnetic coupling components need to be replaced, and the installation gap should be ensured to be correct.

 

(2) Inspection of Isolation Sleeve

 

The condition of the isolation sleeve is directly related to the safety of the magnetic pump. Check whether the isolation sleeve is worn, corroded, or cracked. Slight wear can be observed for the time being, but if the wear is severe or there are cracks, it must be replaced immediately to prevent the medium from leaking into the magnetic drive part.

Cleaning and Environmental Maintenance

(1) Pump Body Cleaning

 

Keep the surface of the pump body clean. Regularly wipe it with a clean cloth to remove dust, oil, and other substances to prevent impurities from entering the pump and affecting its operation.

 

(2) Environmental Maintenance

 

Keep the operating environment of the magnetic pump dry and well-ventilated, and avoid dampness, corrosive gases, etc. from causing damage to the pump body and electrical components.

 

Electrical System Maintenance

(1) Motor Inspection

 

Check whether the motor wiring is firm and the insulation is good. Regularly measure the insulation resistance of the motor to prevent electric leakage. At the same time, check the heat dissipation situation of the motor to ensure its normal heat dissipation.

 

(2) Circuit Inspection

 

Check the start-stop control circuit and protection devices of the magnetic pump to ensure that the control elements work normally and the protection devices function properly to ensure the safe operation of the magnetic pump.
