Under different ventilation duct layouts, how to adjust the operating parameters of a fan?
+
Adjust based on duct layout: longer ducts with more elbows increase system resistance — increase fan speed or select higher pressure model. Use duct pressure sensors for closed-loop control. Calculate total system static pressure and match fan to deliver required CFM at that pressure.
How to balance the wind pressure and air volume of a fan?
+
Balance wind pressure and air volume by: selecting a fan where the system curve intersects the fan curve at the desired operating point, using VFD to adjust speed (both pressure and volume change proportionally), or using dampers/louvres to throttle and shift the system curve.
What is the relationship between the filtration area and the processing capacity of a filter?
+
Processing capacity is directly proportional to filtration area at a given flow velocity. Larger filter area means higher throughput at the same face velocity. Standard design uses 0.5-2 m/min face velocity for liquid filtration. Double the area roughly doubles the flow capacity.
Is the filtration effect of a filter greatly affected by the environmental temperature?
+
Temperature affects filtration moderately: higher temperature reduces fluid viscosity, improving flow rate through the filter; extreme temperatures can degrade filter media materials or cause thermal expansion affecting seal integrity. Always verify media temperature rating.
What performance changes will occur when a chemical pump transports the same medium with different concentrations?
+
Higher concentration increases corrosion rate and fluid density/viscosity, potentially reducing flow rate and accelerating material wear. Pump performance shifts along the system curve due to changed fluid properties. Material compatibility must be verified at the specific concentration, not just the chemical type.
Does the installation angle of a vertical pump have an impact on its operating efficiency?
+
Yes. Vertical pumps are designed for vertical installation. Tilting or angled installation causes: uneven bearing wear, shaft misalignment, reduced lubrication effectiveness, increased vibration, accelerated seal wear, and shortened service life. Always install vertically as specified.
