The balancing disc has a wear ring bolted to its face. The balance disc is removable and provides an easy way to replace the wear ring without removing the pump or dismantling the entire pump.

The wear ring thrusts against another wear ring bolted to the counter disc. This is a mechanism that prevents the rotating element from exceeding its travel which would result in loss of efficiency and later damage to the impellers. The two wear rings in a pump are made made of brass and the other steel respectively. The balance disc is removable and provides an easy way to replace worn wear rings without removing or dismantling the entire pump.

Why is used the balancing line in boiler feed pump and its direction of flow?

In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.


Arrangement of a vertical multistage single entry centrifugal?

A vertical multistage single-entry centrifugal pump is designed with multiple impellers mounted on a single shaft, allowing for high pressure and flow efficiency. The arrangement typically consists of a vertical casing that houses the impellers and diffuser stages, with the motor positioned above the pump. This configuration is ideal for applications requiring elevated water pressure, such as in boiler feed systems or high-rise buildings. The vertical design minimizes floor space and allows for easier installation in confined areas.


What are the function of feed pump?

A pump is a mechanical means of moving air , or fluid.


What is the function of back pressure valve in Boiler feed pump?

The function of back pressure valve is to prevent back flow to the pump in case there is an obstruction on downstream side of valve.


What is the Function of economizer in boilers?

Basically . economiser is located in between exit of boiler and entry of air preheater. when the flue gases are coming out from boiler they take away a lot of heat. economiser utilize this heat from flue gases. and these heat is used to heat the feed water which is going to feed the bolier. hence by using economiser the coal consumption required to heat the feed water is reduced hence cost reduced.
