The fault diagnosis of A4VTG plunger pump needs to be combined with systematic troubleshooting and targeted testing. The following are the core methods and common fault handling processes:
General methods for fault diagnosis
1. Observe the condition of the oil (whether it is turbid or contains impurities), pipeline connections (whether there is oil leakage or looseness), and the appearance of the pump body (whether there is abnormal wear).
2. Monitor for abnormal noises during operation (such as metal friction and cavitation) to determine if internal components are damaged.
3. Understand the operating conditions (such as pressure fluctuations, temperature anomalies) and historical maintenance records at the time of the malfunction.
4. Use a pressure gauge to detect key parameters (oil replenishment pressure, shell pressure, working pressure) and compare them with standard values to locate the fault point.
Common faults and troubleshooting
1. The pressure cannot be increased
Possible reasons: blockage in the suction line, insufficient oil level, plunger malfunction, or internal leakage in the variable mechanism.
Troubleshooting steps:
Check if the filter is clogged and if the oil level in the tank is normal.
Check whether the oil replenishment pressure (G port) meets the standard (usually adjusted to 2-2.5MPa).
Check whether the variable mechanism (such as the inclined plate and oil distribution plate) is worn or stuck.
2. Output flow fluctuation
Possible reasons: Scratches on the control piston, insufficient amplifier energy, or hydraulic oil contamination.
Troubleshooting steps:
Disassemble and inspect the hydraulic pump, clean foreign objects, and replace worn parts.
Check the cleanliness of the oil and replace the filter element and hydraulic oil if necessary.
3. Oil leakage issue
Possible reasons: damaged oil seal, excessive internal leakage, or thin oil drain pipe.
Troubleshooting steps:
Check the spindle oil seal and sealing ring, replace and apply leak proof paste.
Optimize the design of the drainage pipe to ensure smooth flow of the pipeline.
Debugging and Verification
Oil replenishment pressure adjustment: Connect a pressure gauge to port G and adjust it to the specified value (such as 2-2.5MPa) through the oil replenishment relief valve.
Mechanical/hydraulic zero calibration: Short circuit the variable piston oil port (X1/X2), adjust the screw to balance the pressure gauge reading (error ≤ 5 bar).
Safety valve testing: Verify whether the high-pressure relief valve and cut-off pressure match the system requirements.
Maintenance Recommendations
Regular maintenance: Replace hydraulic oil and filter element every 500 hours to avoid oil contamination and pump body wear.
Standardized operation: Check the oil level before starting to avoid idling or overload operation.
