The power plant booster pump serves as the "power source" for the boiler feedwater system. If its transmission components suffer wear due to lubricating oil leakage or contaminant ingress, the outcome can range from a minor shutdown for maintenance to a major accident involving a complete interruption of feedwater supply. The FA1B56-A2-102761A Booster Pump Oil Deflector Ring has become a core spare part for safeguarding the transmission system of the FA1D56A booster pump, thanks to its dual protection performance of "Precise Oil Deflection + Contaminant Isolation." We simultaneously offer complementary parts and customization services to address power plant operation and maintenance challenges.

 


 

I. Product Positioning: The "Transmission Protection Shield" for the FA1D56A Booster Pump

The FA1B56-A2-102761A oil deflector ring is not a common accessory; it is a dedicated protection component for the FA1D56A booster pump's transmission system. Precisely installed between the drive-end shaft sleeve and the oil seal sleeve, it works in coordination with the oil seal assembly. On the one hand, it blocks lubricating oil from leaking to the pump exterior, preventing wear of the shaft sleeve and bearings due to insufficient lubrication. On the other hand, it prevents external contaminants such as dust and moisture from entering the oil chamber, protecting precision components like thrust bearings and thrust pads from contamination. It directly influences the booster pump's transmission efficiency and service life.

 

"We previously experienced lubricating oil leakage due to an aging oil deflector ring, which not only required replacing the thrust bearing but also caused a 2-day shutdown, costing nearly 500,000 kWh in lost generation," an equipment department manager at a thermal power plant admitted. Now, the FA1B56-A2-102761A has become a "mandatory replacement" during maintenance. Its material purity and dimensional accuracy meet original factory standards, allowing for direct adaptation and installation, significantly reducing the risk of failure.

II. Core Application Scenarios: Covering the Entire Life Cycle of the Booster Pump

1. Assembly in New Power Plants: Laying the Foundation for Initial Operation

During the installation phase of the FA1D56A booster pump in a new power plant, this oil deflector ring must be assembled simultaneously with core components such as the impeller, thrust bearing, and mechanical seal. Its precise structural design perfectly matches the clearance between the drive-end shaft sleeve and the oil seal sleeve, establishing a dual "oil deflection + dust prevention" barrier from the start of equipment service, preventing early wear caused by inadequate initial protection. A new power plant reported that after installing this oil deflector ring, the initial inspection cycle of the booster pump extended from 12 months to 18 months, reducing O&M costs by 30%.

 

2. Scheduled Maintenance: Timely Prevention of Hazard Spread

During annual or quarterly power plant maintenance, technicians focus on inspecting this oil deflector ring. If the ring body shows wear, edge deformation, or corrosion, it must be replaced immediately. Especially when an abnormal drop in oil level is observed via the oil sight gauge, it is highly likely that the oil deflector ring has failed, leading to lubricating oil leakage. Replacing this component at this stage can quickly restore the protection function, preventing consequential damage to thrust pads, oil seal assemblies, etc. One power plant's failure to replace an aging oil deflector ring in time led to thrust bearing wear and doubled maintenance costs, serving as a critical cautionary example in the industry.

 

3. Emergency Fault Repair: Shortening Downtime

When the booster pump experiences a dual fault of "lubricating oil leakage + contaminant ingress" due to severe oil deflector ring wear, leading to transmission component seizure and shutdown, the FA1B56-A2-102761A is readily available as an emergency spare part. Coupled with the synchronous inspection and repair of the oil seal sleeve and seal casing, replacement and commissioning can typically be completed within 4 hours, shortening the repair time by 60% compared to using non-dedicated oil deflector rings, thus minimizing power generation losses.
