463		
464<p>I want to address some common magnetic drive pump problems and concerns.  Mag-drive pumps are very different from typical sealed pumps.  Therefore, it is natural for people to have concerns.  I narrowed the list to 8 questions that are commonly asked with regard to mag-drive pumps.  </p>
465
466
467
468<h4>1.  Won’t Dry Running Cause Catastrophic Damage to Mag Drive Pumps? </h4>
469
470
471
472<p>When a magnetic drive pump experiences an upset condition, specifically when it is starved of product, it does not necessarily mean that the pump is completely devoid of liquid. Most of the time, liquid remains in the pump to aid bearing lubrication during brief upset episodes and to prevent the bearings from breaking during brief dry-run periods. Taking it a step further, upgrading standard silicon carbide (SiC) bearings to <a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-resistant-bearings.php">enhanced SiC bearings with diamond-like coatings</a> vastly increases bearing strength and decreases the coefficient of friction to 1/4 of that of standard SiC bearings. </p>
473
474
475
476<h4> 2. Will Temperature Spikes Impact the Magnets of the Pump?  </h4>
477
478
479
480<p>It is important to select proper magnet material relative to operating temperature considerations. Upset conditions can result in temperature excursions that impact the strength of the magnets, but a<a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-pump-protection.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="  (opens in a new tab)"> </a><a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-pump-protection.php">power monitoring device</a> can minimize or eliminate this concern. When a mag-drive pump runs dry or against a closed discharge valve, the lower power drawn by the pump trips the monitor, shutting off the pump. </p>
481
482
483
484<h4> 3. What Happens When a Mag-Drive Pump Decouples? </h4>
485
486
487
488<p>If a mag-drive pump operates for a long time in a decoupled state, the magnets will be permanently demagnetized. However, the same <a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-pump-protection.php">power monitoring device</a> that monitors the pump for temperature excursions also monitors for this condition as well. The design of mag-drive pumps do not make them particularly vulnerable to abnormal operating conditions. The power monitor addresses the concerns about increased capacity, specific gravity, and viscosity. Proper use of a power monitor eliminates many concerns. </p>
489
490
491
492<h4> 4. Is Radial Loading Common with Mag Drive Pumps?  </h4>
493
494
495
496<p>A major advantage of some mag-drive
497pumps is reduced radial loading compared with standard, seal-type overhung
498models. The straddle-mounted design with bearings on either side of the inner
499magnet provides excellent stability, reduces radial loading, and enables the
500pump to be more tolerant of off peak-operation. </p>
501
502
503
504<h4> 5. What Does the Maintenance Schedule Look Like with a Mag-Drive Pump?  </h4>
505
506
507
508<p>Mag-drive pump designs commonly offer an 8 to 10 year time
509table, sometimes more, without maintenance. One user discovered his mag-drive
510pump had operated 16 years without an outage. It did not fail at that point
511either — he took it down for preventative maintenance. Few sealed pumps in
512process applications operate so well. </p>
513
514
515
516<h4> 6. Are Mag-Drive Pump Repairs more Expensive Than Sealed Pump Repairs?  </h4>
517
518
519
520<p>The Sealed versus Sealless discussion has been one of great debate for a long time.  But In failures of major proportions, this has some potential to be true. However, I submit that the frequent repairs, including replacement of often expensive seals over the life of a traditional sealed pump, would be more than the total cost of a major mag-drive repair. It should be added that major mag-drive failures are not particularly commonplace if some of the noted precautions (upgraded SiC bearings, proper magnet material, power monitors, etc) are implemented. Mag-drive pumps are good, cost-effective options for providing years of trouble-free operation in many pump applications, potentially saving pump users tens of thousands of dollars over the life of the equipment. </p>
521
522
523
524<h4> 7. Can Mag-Drive Pumps Handle Toxic or Dangerous Process Fluids?  </h4>
525

528<p>Mag-drive pumps can be very reliable in certain applications involving toxic and other dangerous process fluids including those that are corrosive, noxious, and <a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/mta.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">high purity liquids</a>. A mag-drive pump can definitely be solution to handling expensive fluids too; one sealed pump user reported that he was losing over $100,000 per year due to issues including leakage when handing a high-cost thermic oil used for heat transfer. </p>
529
530
531
532<p>Less “dangerous” fluids can also be added to the list— including liquids that, when leaked onto the floor, could cause an employee to slip. A risk management department might find mag-drive pumps very attractive. Similarly, using mag-drive pumps to move process fluids with an objectionable odor can provide a much more pleasant working environment.&nbsp; </p>

536<h4> 8. Will Caustics Damage Internal Rotating Components in a Mag Drive Pump?  </h4>
537
538
539
540<p>Mag-drive pumps can be configured to withstand cleaning from caustic agents. This is a powerful advantage in applications that use process food grade oils due to the need to subject the pump to regular cleaning. If your application requires regular cleaning, be sure to mention it to your pump manufacturer to ensure proper outfitting for this need. </p>
541
542
543
544<p>Obviously, magnetic drive pump problems can easily be avoided.  employing the preventative steps I discu
544ssed will almost certainly help keep your mag-drive pump running without issue. Although magnetic drive pumps are not the answer to every application, they can be an ideal solution across a broad range of applications when eliminating mechanical seals is desired. Magnetic drive pumps, when properly applied and operated, are the obvious choice for many applications.</p>

558	<div class="entry-content">
559		
560<p> In a previous article, we explored why, ideally,<strong> </strong><a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/how-long-can-i-run-my-pump-dry/"><strong>a pump should not endure dry running</strong></a>.  Let’s now examine if a pump CAN survive dry running under system upset conditions. </p>
561
562
563
564<p>SiC bearing material does not tolerate mechanical shock,
565which is what occurs when there is insufficient lubricating liquid between the
566bearing component surfaces, leading to contact between the components. There
567are several situations during system operation that can produce such
568conditions.</p>
569
570
571
572<h2>What are Some Common Upset Conditions?</h2>
573
574
575
576<p>The following are considered system upset conditions, during
577which the bearing lubricating film barrier is compromised:</p>
578
579
580
581<p>• operation of the pump with valves closed</p>
582
583
584
585<p>• insufficient pressure at the pump suction (inadequate net
586positive suction head available [NPSHa]) causing cavitation</p>
587
588
589
590<p>• extended periods of operation at extremely low flow
591conditions</p>
592
593
594
595<p>• extended periods of operation at high flow conditions with
596low pressure resistance at discharge—operation “off the curve” or beyond the
597maximum flow range</p>
598
599
600
601<p>• excessive cycling of system flow from one flow rate to
602another</p>
603
604
605
606<p>• excessive temperature that causes pumped liquid
607(lubricating flow) to vaporize at the bearing component surfaces—or not enough
608internal system pressure to keep the pumped fluid in liquid state as it passes
609through the pump</p>
610
611
612
613<p>• energizing motor without liquid in the pump, including
614briefly to check rotation</p>
615
616
617
618<p>• plugged impeller vane inlet at suction eye</p>
619
620
621
622<h2>Enhancing SiC Bearings</h2>
623
624
625
626<p><style> img {   float: right; } </style><img decoding="async" src="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/SiC-X-Bearing.png" alt="SiC-X Bearing (enhanced)" style="width:251px;height:128px;margin-left:15px;"><a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-resistant-bearings.php"><strong>Specially treated sintered SiC-X bearings</strong></a> are available from Magnatex to provide enhanced dry-running capabilities in the case of a system upset condition. All of these are called diamondlike coatings (DLC). Some manufacturers use coatings that adhere to the substrate SiC, while Magnatex uses infusion methods that mechanically integrate the coating into the base material. Integrating the diamond-like substance into the bearing ensure that the bearing will last longer verses those that simply coat the bearings&#8217; surface.  These treatments substantially reduce the surface coefficient of friction compared to that of standard sintered SiC. Less friction during system upset and other dry run conditions generate less heat, reducing the potential for bearing component breakage from mechanical contact or thermal shock.</p>
627
628
629
630<p>In reference to pumping equipment and product lubricated
631bearings, no one recommends that the pump be operated without liquid passing
632through it. There is some residual liquid that remains when the unit loses
633suction but that will quickly be pressed out of the sides of the bearing
634components with continued operation. Vaporization of the liquid can occur
635quickly depending on the size of the pump.</p>
636
637
638
639<h2>How Long Can Enhanced SiC Bearings Last?</h2>
640
641
642
643<p>Definitive dry run times would require specific testing of
644the pump size and conditions of service in question. For small pumps under 2
645horsepower (hp), testing has shown that the dry run time is minutes and can be
646stretched to more than an hour for the smallest pumps with the DLC coated
647bearings. The greater the power input to the pump, the shorter the time period
648before damage occurs in the bearing system. For larger pumps in the 50-plus-hp
649range, while DLC coatings will still help, the time before damage occurs
650remains quite short. Energizing the motor to check rotation of a pump without DLC
651coated bearings or liquid in the unit will likely result in some bearing
652damage. Damage from dry running will initially appear as cracked or chipped SiC
653components. As the liquid vanishes and the rotating ceramic components come in
654contact with stationary components, the SiC can shatter, breaking into small
655pieces. Continued operation damages more pump components such as the shaft,
656rear casing, casing cover and impeller—all of which are costly parts. This type
657of damage to the pump is preventable.</p>
658
659
660
661<h4>What About Other Bearing Types and Seals?</h4>
662
663
664
665<p>Lined, mag drive pumps use either SiC or nonmetallic bearing
666materials. Some of the latter may have enhanced lubricity but are still subject
667to the same axioms of running with compromised lubrication.</p>
668
669
670
671<p>Canned motor pumps, the other sealless centrifugal type,
672typically use softer bearing materials including carbon that are more
673lubricious, but susceptible to wear. These require a bearing monitor system to
674avoid component damage.</p>
675
676
677
678<p>With mechanically sealed pumps, seal faces operate on a
679similar hydrodynamic film and require the same type of lubrication. They will
680not run dry long without damage either.</p>
681
682
683
684<h2>How to Prevent Dry Running </h2>
685
686
687
688<p>Again, it is recommended that the pump be protected by a
689power monitor and that the low power trip point be set at a level representing
690the first indication that suction has been lost. Setting the low trip point
691time delay at less than 2 to 3 seconds can prevent tripping of the pump when a
692large bubble of vapor/air vents through the pump without losing suction. Trying
693to run longer to empty the suction line of product will result in damage to the
694pump that is more costly than the small amount of product that may remain in
695the suction line. A properly set power monitor will save money for the pump
696owner in several enterprise accounts.</p>
697
698
699
700<h2>Conclusion</h2>
701
702
703
704<p>Most damage to mag drive pumps can be avoided. So in
705revisiting our original title question, “How long can I run my pump dry?” we
706should instead ask, “Can I or Should I run my pump dry?” Our qualified, “yes,”
707means that while you CAN run your pump dry, it should be avoided.</p>

723<p><em>Originally by Neal Gunn &#8211; Technical Manger</em></p>
724
725
726
727<p>Anyone familiar with industrial magnetic drive (mag drive) pumps has been asked about dry running the pump. After all, a dishwasher and washing machine at home do that all the time. There are bearing materials that allow that, right? The answer is a qualified, “Yes,” but let&#8217;s take a closer look at dry running.</p>
728
729
730
731<p>Dry running, except in the literal sense, is a misnomer.
732Industrial pumps are mechanically sealed or sealless and can suffer from the
733results of what the industry has dubbed “dry run operation.”</p>
734
735
736
737<h2>Silicone Carbide (SiC) Bearings</h2>
738
739
740
741<p>Let’s examine the mag drive pump configuration with silicone
742carbine (SiC) bearing components, one of the two sealless types of rotodynamic
743centrifugal pumps. </p>
744
745
746
747<p>Mag drive pumps have product lubricated bearings that
748require liquid to be present for proper operation. These hydrodynamic (plain)
749bearings depend on a fluid barrier separating the bearing components that
750becomes a wedge when there is relative motion between the two surfaces. When
751this fluid barrier is disrupted, the two surfaces will touch and can lead to
752component damage. This effect can be cumulative, resulting in component failure
753when limits are reached.</p>
754
755
756
757<p>If the<strong> </strong>SiC surfaces touch during operation, the components can, depending on several factors, break in a short time. This does not mean the pump immediately stops operating. The broken SiC pieces may still support the shaft well enough to allow rotation of the pump rotor. Broken SiC can be detected by increased vibration and often a power increase. The condition of the pump will only get worse if operation is continued. </p>
758
759
760
761<h2>Conclusion</h2>
762
763
764
765<p>When the pump loses suction, it should be shut down
766immediately.&nbsp; Damage to the SiC
767components can occur in a matter of seconds. Using a power monitor to detect
768when the motor load has suddenly changed, such as when the pump loses suction,
769will protect major pump components. Continued operation without adequate liquid
770at the suction can quickly lead to severe damage of the SiC components.</p>
771
772
773
774<p>For long life, the pump requires that there be liquid
775available and that it be operated within the pump flow range of the curve and
776within the pump design limits. Please note that it is best to start the pump
777against a partially closed (about a quarter open) discharge valve. The suction
778valve should always be open when operating and only closed when the pump must
779be isolated for maintenance reasons. </p>
780
781
782
783<p>So SHOULD a pump be dry run? Ideally, no… but CAN it survive
784under upset conditions?</p>

838<p>Fluoropolymer linings or coatings for centrifugal pumps are a great solution for highly corrosive applications. However, simply selecting the right fluoropolymer coating is not enough to ensure that you will get a cost effective product that will perform maintenance-free for years.</p>
839

860		<p>All centrifugal pumps will fail if they are run dry. One of the most cost-effective ways to prevent this from happening is a simple, inexpensive POWER MONITOR.</p>
861<p><strong>How Does a Power Monitor Work?</strong></p>
862<p>A power monitor detects low electric power draw caused by loss of flow to the suction or discharge of the pump and immediately shuts the pump down before any serious damage can occur. Power monitors are also set to shut pumps down if they detect high power draw which can be caused by running the pump too far to the right of the best efficiency point or by metal-to-metal contact of some kind inside the pump.&nbsp;<a href="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/dry-run-pump-protection.php"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignright size-medium" src="https://magnatexpumps.com/blog/assets/images/pmp-25-pump-protector.jpg" width="304" height="522"/></a></p>

877	<div class="entry-content">
878		<p>Approximately 88% of industrial process centrifugal pumps in the USA use mechanical seals which have been in commercial use since the 1920s. The concept of sealless magnetic drive centrifugal pumps has been around since the 1940s. In the past 30 years increased market demand for sealless pumps have driven pump manufacturers to continue to develop and evolve sealless pump designs. There are two primary types of sealless pumps; magnetic drive and canned motor pumps. This article will focus on magnetic drive pumps.</p>
879<p>What key points should you consider in deciding whether your application is best suited for a pump with a mechanical seal or a magnetic drive sealless pump?</p>
