What is the impact of oil line blockage on the operation of the oil replenishment pump

2024-12-02

Oil circuit blockage is one of the common faults during the operation of the oil charge pump, which can have a significant impact on the performance of the oil charge pump and the overall stability and safety of the hydraulic system. Its impact is not limited to the reduction of equipment performance, but may also trigger a series of chain reactions, thus posing a threat to the normal operation of the hydraulic system.

Effect of oil circuit blockage on charge pump performance
traffic reduction
The most direct consequence of oil line blockage is the reduction of the output flow of the charge pump. When impurities, sediments or oil stains accumulate in the oil circuit to a certain extent, the flow of oil will be hindered, causing the charge pump to be unable to effectively deliver oil to the hydraulic system. This reduction in flow not only affects the working efficiency of the hydraulic system, but may also cause the system to fall into a non-normal working state, thereby affecting the operation of the entire equipment.
pressure fluctuations
Blockage of the oil circuit will also cause instability in the output pressure of the charge pump. Due to the blockage of the oil circuit, the oil will encounter additional resistance during the flow process, resulting in pressure fluctuations. This unstable pressure condition not only affects the stability of the hydraulic system, but can also cause damage to other components within the system. For example, a relief valve may open and close frequently, increasing the likelihood of wear and failure.
temperature rise
Blockage of the oil circuit will also cause the temperature of the charge pump and hydraulic system to rise. Because oil flow is impeded, the charge pump requires more energy to overcome resistance, which in turn generates additional heat. In addition, the oil does not flow smoothly in the blocked oil circuit, and the heat cannot be dissipated in time, causing the system temperature to be too high. Excessive temperature will accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of the oil, thereby reducing its lubrication performance and service life.
Increased noise
Blockage of the oil circuit will also cause an increase in noise when the charge pump is running. When oil flows in clogged oil lines, turbulence and vortex phenomena can produce additional vibration and noise. This kind of noise will not only affect the working environment of operators, but may also cover up other fault signals of the equipment, making it difficult to detect and deal with problems in time.

The impact of oil circuit blockage on the stability of the hydraulic system
System failure
In severe cases, oil line blockage may lead to complete failure of the hydraulic system. When the charge pump cannot provide sufficient oil and pressure, the hydraulic system will not work properly and the equipment will not be able to perform scheduled actions and functions. This failure will have a profound negative impact on production efficiency and product quality.
Component damaged
A clogged oil line may also cause serious damage to other components in the hydraulic system. When impurities and particles in the oil enter other components through clogged oil lines, they will accelerate their wear and failure. In addition, pressure fluctuations and temperature increases can also affect the sealing performance and material properties of components, reducing their service life.

Solutions and preventive measures
Regarding the impact of oil line blockage on the operation of the charge pump, the following are effective solutions and preventive measures:
Clean the oil circuit regularly: Clean the oil circuit of the charge pump regularly to remove impurities, sediments and oil stains to maintain the smoothness of the oil circuit.
Use high-quality oil: Choose high-quality hydraulic oil and replace it regularly to reduce the content of impurities and particles in the oil and reduce the risk of blockage from the source.
Install filters: Install high-efficiency filters at the inlet and outlet of the charge pump to filter out impurities and particles in the oil and prevent them from entering the oil circuit and other components.
Monitor system status: Regularly monitor the working status of the hydraulic system, including parameters such as flow, pressure, and temperature, and detect and handle abnormalities in a timely manner.
