Requirements for the operating water pressure of water softening equipment and installation precautions

Released Date: Feb 25,2016 Article Source: Yuanlai Water Treatment
Generally speaking, the operating pressure requirement for water softening equipment is 0.2-0.5MPa. There are two reasons for this pressure requirement: when the pressure is greater than 0.2MPa, it is to ensure the salt absorption effect of regeneration. Since the fully automatic water softening equipment relies on water pressure to form negative pressure to extract salt water, the pressure at the upper end of the salt suction device directly affects the speed and effect of salt suction. Generally speaking, if the pressure is lower than 0.18MPa, the salt suction effect will significantly decline. If the pressure exceeds 0.5MPa, the salt absorption effect can of course be guaranteed, but at this time, the pressure on the pipeline part is too large, and leakage is prone to occur at each connection point. In addition, due to excessive water pressure, the internal components of the multi-way valve may be under excessive pressure, which may cause inaccurate operation of the multi-way valve and directly affect the working effect. If the pressure is too high, when the equipment is running

  Generally speaking, the operating pressure requirement for water softening equipment is0.2-0.5MPaSuch pressure demands have two reasons:

  Pressure greater than0.2MPaIt is to ensure the salt absorption effect of regeneration. Because the fully automatic water softening equipment relies on water pressure to form negative pressure to extract salt water, the pressure at the upper end of the salt suction device directly affects the speed and effect of salt suction. Generally speaking, if the pressure is lower than0.18MPaIn that case, the salt absorption effect will significantly decline.

  If the pressure is greater0.5MPaThe salt absorption effect can of course be guaranteed, but at this time, the pressure on the pipeline part is too high, and leakage is prone to occur at each connection point. In addition, due to excessive water pressure, the internal components of the multi-way valve may be under excessive pressure, which may cause inaccurate operation of the multi-way valve and directly affect the working effect.

  If the pressure is too high, the main abnormal situations that may occur during the operation of the equipment are:

  During backwashing, resin leakage occurs. When the water pressure is too high, the expansion degree of the resin during backwashing may exceed the calculated value. If the pores of the upper water distributor are large enough, it is very easy for the resin to enter the multi-way valve from the top and flow out along the drainage pipe, thus causing resin leakage.

  When too much water is added and the water pressure is too high, more water will be injected into the salt tank during the brine refilling stage. This may cause the water level in the salt tank to be abnormally high, and sometimes it may even lead to brine overflow.

  When the valve operates abnormally and the water outlet index is unstable and unqualified, when the water pressure is too high, a pressure exceeding the originally calculated value may form on one side of the multi-way valve piston or valve plate. As a result, the original motor of the valve body may not drive the valve to operate smoothly, leading to situations such as the valve not operating properly. This may cause some passages to form inside the valve. Untreated water flows through these channels to the outlet, causing unstable compliance of water quality indicators.

  Poor regeneration effect: When the water pressure is too high, the salt absorption speed increases, which may significantly shorten the effective regeneration time and thus fail to achieve a good regeneration effect.

  It is recommended to control the pressure by installing a pressure reducing valve. Constant pressure or proportional pressure reducing valves can be adopted, which can ensure a stable pressure in the subsequent stage.

  The characteristics of reverse osmosis equipment: Due to the fact that reverse osmosis equipment does not require heating, has low energy consumption, continuous and stable operation process, small volume, simple operation, strong adaptability, and does not cause pollution to the environment, it is gradually replacing the traditional ion exchange process. The reverse osmosis device developed by our company is dedicatedROThe technical design, key components and equipment are imported from renowned factories. Not only is the craftsmanship reliable, but the product quality is also reliable. It has strong scalability, a reasonable structure, small floor space, and achieves a good balance between water utilization rate and product life. It has low energy consumption, operates fully automatically, and is easy to operate and maintain.

  In engineering, we have found that the symptoms vary with the duration of pollution. Such as:When the membrane is contaminated by calcium carbonate scale and the contamination lasts for one week, the main manifestations are a rapid decline in desalination rate, a slow increase in pressure difference, while the change in water production is not obvious. Cleaning with citric acid can restore performance

EDI ultra-pure water system

EDI ultra-pure water system

Yuan LaiEDIThe ultra-pure water equipment uses electro-deionization technology.EDIElectrodeionization is a water purification method that combines the dual advantages of electrodialysis and ion exchange. It does not require acid-base chemical regeneration and can continuously and stably prepare high-purity ultrapure water. Under the action of a direct current electric field, ion separation in water is completed. At the same time, water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, achieving automatic regeneration of the resin without the need to stop the machine for manual regeneration. The pre-treatment combined with reverse osmosis can prevent oxidized substances from damaging the resin, ensuring stable effluent quality and widely meeting the high-standard water usage requirements of various industries.

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

The non-negative pressure water supply equipment can be directly connected to the municipal water supply network, making full use of the residual pressure of the original network for superimposed water supply. Fully enclosed operation does not require the construction of a domestic water tank, eliminating secondary pollution. Intelligent variable frequency voltage stabilization, energy-saving, quiet and easy installation, it is the preferred equipment for secondary water supply in high-rise residential buildings and commercial buildings.

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment is widely used in central air conditioning, floor heating, industrial closed-loop water circulation, and boiler systems. It integrates automatic pressure stabilization, automatic water replenishment, automatic exhaust, pressure relief and buffering functions. It stabilizes the pressure in the pipeline network, eliminates abnormal sounds caused by air blockage, and prevents damage from negative pressure and water shortage in the pipeline. It is an essential supporting equipment for HVAC and circulating water systems.
