Tin-phosphor bronze bushings in hydraulic cooling towers, thanks to their corrosion resistance, can reduce bushing replacement frequency and lower maintenance costs. This is specifically reflected in the following aspects:
Rust resistance contributes to long service life: Tin-phosphor bronze boasts excellent corrosion resistance, resisting erosion by moisture and cooling water. Hydraulic cooling towers are subject to high moisture content, and cooling water often contains minerals and trace chemicals, which can easily corrode and damage ordinary metal bushings. However, tin-phosphor bronze bushings are less susceptible to these effects, maintaining stable performance and minimizing the need for replacement due to corrosion. Their stable rust resistance is key to achieving a long service life.
Wear resistance and stability: In addition to corrosion resistance, tin-phosphor bronze boasts excellent wear resistance, maintaining stability under high loads and resisting surface cracking and fatigue damage. Bushings in cooling tower fan shafts and sliding parts of transmission structures are subject to friction and loads during operation. Their wear resistance reduces wear rates and maintains a stable sliding fit, thereby reducing the frequency of bushing replacements due to increased clearance caused by excessive wear.
Self-lubrication reduces maintenance dependency: Its self-lubricating properties reduce lubrication requirements. In humid environments, lubricants are easily affected by moisture, dilute them, or wash away. Even when insufficiently lubricated, tin-phosphor bronze's inherent properties prevent dry friction, reducing the likelihood of bushing failure due to lubrication issues. This reduces the frequency of lubrication maintenance and premature bushing replacement due to accelerated wear caused by poor lubrication, thereby reducing labor and lubricant costs.
Mechanical strength resists impact damage: Tin-phosphor bronze's excellent strength and toughness allow the bushing to withstand impact loads and vibrations generated by water flow fluctuations and fan startup and shutdown. The bushing is highly resistant to breakage or cracking, minimizing the need for replacement due to unplanned failures, ensuring equipment reliability, and reducing the high maintenance costs associated with unplanned downtime for component replacement.
