Problem 1: Equipment freezing caused by low temperature

Problem description: In low temperature environments during winter, the slurry pump and its ancillary equipment (such as oil tanks) may freeze, causing the equipment to malfunction.

Solution:

Use low freezing point fuel: Choose low freezing point diesel as fuel to prevent the fuel from solidifying at low temperatures.

Preheating treatment: Before use, add hot water at around 70 ℃ as cooling water and perform preheating treatment to prevent equipment from freezing.

Avoid open flame heating: If the fuel tank freezes, do not use open flame heating to avoid danger and damage to equipment 1.

Problem 2: Equipment damage caused by sudden temperature changes

Problem description: If cooling water is added only after the device is started, the water tank with rising temperature may crack due to sudden addition of cold water.

Solution: Cooling water should be added before starting the equipment to avoid damage caused by sudden temperature changes.

Problem 3: Difficulty in maintenance and cleaning

Problem description: After winter use, there may be residual sludge or other deposits inside the slurry pump. If not cleaned in time, it will affect the normal operation of the equipment.

Solution: After winter use, appropriate cleaning work should be carried out to prevent sludge and other sediments from remaining in the pump.

Question 4: Sealing failure

Problem description: Low temperatures in winter may cause the sealing components of the slurry pump to harden or lose elasticity, resulting in seal failure.

Solution:

Check the condition of seals: Regularly inspect the condition of seals and replace aging seals in a timely manner.

Use cold resistant sealing materials: Choose sealing materials with good cold resistance to adapt to low temperature environments.

By taking the above measures, it is possible to effectively address the problems that may arise during the use of slurry pumps in winter, ensuring stable operation of the equipment under low temperature conditions.
