1. Increase pumping resistance:

The deformed tube bundle will interfere with the clamping mechanism or guide device of the pumping and loading machine, increasing the frictional resistance, causing the pumping speed to decrease, and even making it impossible to extract or load smoothly.

Bent or twisted tube bundles can become stuck, requiring additional manual intervention or equipment adjustments, reducing efficiency and increasing operating time.

2. Reduce clamping reliability:

Extraction machines often rely on clamping mechanisms to grasp and secure tube bundles. If the tube bundle is deformed, the clamping mechanism may not be able to effectively grasp or fix it, causing the tube bundle to slip or fall, posing a safety hazard.

For extraction machines that rely on vacuum or magnetic adsorption, the deformation of the tube bundle will reduce the contact area and adsorption force, which also affects the reliability of the clamping.

3. Damage to equipment:

The deformed tube bundle may collide with other parts of the equipment during the extraction process, causing damage to the equipment, such as scratching the guide rails, damaging the clamping mechanism, etc.

Long-term use of deformed pipe bundles will increase equipment wear and shorten equipment service life.

4. Affect sealing performance:

In some applications, tube bundles require sealing connections to other components. If the tube bundle is deformed, it may cause seal failure and leakage, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

5. Increase the difficulty and time of operation:

Operators need to spend more time and energy dealing with deformed pipe bundles, such as adjusting equipment, manual assistance, etc., which increases the difficulty and time of the operation and reduces work efficiency.

Impact analysis:

The degree of influence of tube bundle deformation on the efficiency of the pumping machine depends on the degree and type of deformation and the specific design of the pumping machine.

Slight deformation: May only slightly increase extraction resistance and have less impact on efficiency.

Severe deformation: such as bending, twisting, expansion, etc., will seriously affect the extraction efficiency and even cause inoperability.

Extractor design: Some extractor designs can tolerate a certain degree of tube bundle deformation, such as by using flexible clamping mechanisms or adaptive control systems.

Countermeasures:

Prevent tube bundle deformation: During the transportation, storage and use of tube bundles, take measures to prevent tube bundle deformation, such as avoiding collision, extrusion, overheating, etc.

Correcting deformed tube bundles: For deformed tube bundles, you can try to correct them, such as using straightening tools or hydraulic straighteners.

Improve the design of pumping machines: Design pumping machines that are more flexible and adaptable, such as using flexible clamping mechanisms, adaptive control systems, etc., to reduce the impact of tube bundle deformation.

Strengthen operator training: Train operators how to correctly handle deformed pipe bundles to avoid operating errors and safety accidents.

In summary, tube bundle deformation can have a variety of negative impacts on extraction machine efficiency. In order to improve efficiency and safety, measures need to be taken to prevent tube bundle deformation and the extraction machine design to be improved to accommodate a certain degree of deformation. During operation, it is necessary to pay close attention to the restraint status and take appropriate measures.
