Sewage and wastewater treatment pumps can be profitable
Article
Sewage and wastewater treatment pumps are common machines repaired in EASA service centers. While both odor and biohazard are real problems, there are ways to deal with each, and service centers looking to broaden their repair market should not shy away from a profitable market because of the odor and biohazard.
Las bombas de tratamiento de aguas residuales pueden ser rentables
Article
Las bombas de tratamiento de aguas residuales y residuales son máquinas habituales que se reparan en los centros de servicio de EASA. Si bien tanto el olor como el riesgo biológico son problemas reales, hay maneras de abordar cada uno de ellos, y los centros de servicio que buscan ampliar su mercado de reparación no deberían rehuir un mercado rentable debido al olor y el riesgo biológico.

In addition to seal oil, some submersibles have an oil filled stator cavity. The oil in the stator cavity very efficiently transfers heat from the stator winding and core, and especially from the rotor, to the pump casing where convection carries it to the pumpage in which the pump is submerged. While the specifications for seal oil are fairly flexible, stator cavity oil has more constraints.

Además del aceite de sellado, algunas bombas sumergibles tienen una cavidad del estator llena de aceite. Este aceite transfiere de manera muy eficiente el calor desde el devanado y el núcleo del estator, y especialmente desde el rotor, hasta la carcasa de la bomba, donde la convección lo lleva al líquido de bombeo en el que está sumergida. Si bien las especificaciones para el aceite de sellado son bastante flexibles, el aceite de la cavidad del estator tiene más restricciones.
