After long periods of shut down, it is essential the proper attention be given to pumping equipment in order to continue providing reliable fluid transfer. Following these steps will ensure a problem-free restart.
- Blow out airlines – Condensation can form in airlines causing rust and debris to be blown into the air valve and pilot valve
- Change inline filter element – If not changed recently, filter elements may become dried and clogged robbing the pumps of required PSI and SCFM.
- Flush the pump – Solids may have settled in the chambers potentially causing damage during restart to shafts and diaphragms. If flushing is not an option, start the pump at low
pressure to agitate fluid and solids within chambers. Do not flush with pressurized water or steam. - Check your stock – In the case of failure, it is critical to have the necessary parts and kits on the shelf to reduce process downtime.
