High pressure liquid ammonia pump check valve leakage and maintenance

High pressure liquid ammonia pump P101A / B is the key equipment of urea plant. It is a type of HMP-5112 high-speed centrifugal pump imported from American SUNDSTRAND company in the 1980s. The working condition is open and ready, the outlet design pressure is 27MPa, high speed shaft speed For the 20445R / min; its export check valve is a single-valve swing-type high pressure self-sealing check valve, the structure and basic parameters shown in Table 1, the main role in the P101A / B automatically shut down when the pump to prevent high pressure medium Reverse flow causes the pump impeller to reverse, protecting the P101 pump. After more than 10 years of operation, two valves seriously leak, and P101A pump outlet check valve leakage, the two failure if not resolved in time, will seriously affect the safety of urea plant, so its disassembly repair, Because of the pump outlet check valve both inside and outside the drain, the following on the valve as an example to introduce.

(1) The valve is long in working condition due to the valve core, so that the valve core shaft wear hole into an ellipse, causing the valve sinking, as shown in Figure 1, frequently open the valve seat sealing surface under the serious damage, resulting in serious Leak, as shown in Figure 2.

(2) The valve due to manufacturing defects and media corrosion and other reasons, the outer part of the valve body cracks appeared, leading to liquid ammonia leakage, as shown in Figure 3.

As the valve is welded valve, subject to inspection time, can not be offline repair. Decided to use on-site repair method to repair. Repair for leakage and leakage in two aspects at the same time:

1 leakage repair program

(1) with a small electric grinder hand-polished outside the sealing surface of the valve body cracks, while the surface color inspection until all the cracks and defects eliminated.

(2) use A402 electrode (chrome 26 nickel 21 stainless steel electrode), with hot spot welding repair valve body sealing surface grinding Department.

(3) Using a small electric mill manual grinding welding, so that the height of the valve body surface flush with the basic.

(4) Production of inner ring grinding ring, shown in Figure 4.

(5) with the grinding ring made by hand to seal the surface grinding, grinding the inner diameter: 160.7mm. <BR> (6) According to the inner diameter of the ring after the seal ring, shown in Figure 5.

2. Internal leakage repair program

(1) Grind the seat sealing surface with a portable grinder (see Figure 2). Make sure it returns to a circle in the presence of cemented carbide.

(2) Find the original center of the shaft center hole through the four-card positioning on the lathe, meanwhile reaming the hole, as shown in Figure 6.

(3) car system two rings (1Gr18Ni9Ti) set in the reaming. To ensure that the same in the center of the case, with a reasonable fit with the shaft, and spot welding fixed, as shown in Figure 7.

(4) car through the shaft (1Gr13).

(5) welded with tungsten carbide D547 molybdenum valve head, according to the valve seat after grinding repair valve head sealing surface.

(6) After trial with Hongdan test to ensure its sealing.

In accordance with the above program after the high pressure liquid ammonia pump P101 outlet check valve for overhaul, a good solution to the valve leakage problem, after more than a year of operation, the use of good results, the maintenance of the same type of plant high pressure check valve and Other self-sealing valve has some reference.
