Author: Zhejiang Weilan Technology Co., Ltd.Source: Official sitePublished: Category: Technical Articles
Summary: Engineering details that determine dosing accuracy: mounting height, pipe sizing and dampener configuration.
Mounting
Place the pump below tank level (flooded suction) where possible; keep suction lift under 1.5 m; leave service space.
Piping
- Size for 0.5-1 m/s velocity
- Fit a pulsation dampener and back-pressure valve on discharge
- Account for line friction on long runs
Electrical
Route signal wiring away from power lines; shield and ground 4-20mA control cables.
