The use of pump chain housing can indeed prevent the chain from getting damp to a certain extent. One of the main functions of the shell is to provide physical protection for the chain, avoiding direct exposure to humid environments. Especially in some high humidity working environments, if the chain is not effectively protected, it is prone to moisture absorption, leading to rust, corrosion, or performance degradation. The pump chain housing is usually designed with good sealing to prevent external moisture, rainwater, or other liquids from entering the chain area, reducing the direct impact of moisture on the chain.
In some particularly humid environments, moisture in the chain may cause lubricant failure, increase friction and wear, and even rust or corrode the chain under long-term humid conditions. This not only affects the service life of the chain, but also leads to pump system failure. The pump chain housing can effectively delay the occurrence of this situation by isolating external moisture. Especially in some underground facilities, oceans, or industrial environments exposed to strong moisture, the protective role of the shell is particularly important.
However, it should be noted that although the pump chain housing can reduce the risk of chain moisture, if the environmental humidity is too high or lasts for too long, the housing itself may experience water leakage or decreased sealing, and the chain may still be affected by moisture. Therefore, in addition to using the pump chain housing, it is also necessary to regularly inspect and maintain the sealing of the housing, and maintain proper lubrication of the chain to minimize the negative effects of moisture.
