How to troubleshoot the leakage of a progressive cavity pump?

1. Initially locate the liquid leakage point

– Prioritize checking the shaft end seal ( screw pump mechanical seal/packing seal area)

– Check the connection parts such as inlet and outlet flanges, pump cover

– Observe whether there are damages such as sand holes and cracks on the pump body surface

2.Check the status of sealing components

– For mechanical seal: Check if the friction surfaces of rotating ring and stationary ring are worn, scratched or cracked; Inspect if O-rings and bellows are aged or deformed

– For packing seal: Check if the packing is worn or loose; Verify if the gland compression force is even

3. Check the sealing condition of connection parts

– Check if the gaskets of flanges and pump cover are aged or misplaced

– Check if the connecting bolts are loose and tighten them evenly if necessary

4.Check the fit status of screw pump rotor and stator

– Stop the pump and disassemble the pump body to check if the stator inner wall is swollen, aged or cracked

– Check if there are wear marks on the rotor surface; Measure whether the fit clearance between them exceeds the standard

 5.Verify the assembly and installation accuracy

– Detect if the coaxiality deviation between pump shaft and motor shaft is excessive

– Check if the pump body is firmly fixed and if there is abnormal vibration during operation

6.Verify the operating condition parameters

 -Confirm whether the actual working pressure exceeds the rated pressure of the pump

– Confirm whether the temperature and corrosiveness of the conveyed medium match the design requirements of the pump

7.Fault handling and retest

– Replace damaged components such as progressive cavity pump stators,rotors,coupling rods, driving shafts, drive shaft,plug-in Shaft, Universal Joint assembly,connecting cod,mechanical seals, gaskets,

– Readjust the assembly accuracy and tighten the connection parts

– Start the pump for trial operation and confirm whether the liquid leakage fault is eliminated
