Spanish term or phrase: caigan las bombas
Una vez arrancadas las bombas y caliente el sistema, es posible que CAIGAN LAS BOMBAS, es preferible ventear puntos altos un poco cada vez que suba 20ºC, al igual que ajustar las válvulas de impulsión debido al cambio de densidad del Hot Oil.

Creo saber lo que es pero me gustaría tener una confirmación.

Gracias

pump trip
Explanation:
En la terminología de estudios de riesgos, una de las consecuencias de la variación de presión, temperatura o flujo (los tres parámetros clave que se toman en cuenta) es el fallo o la caída de las bombas, que también se le llama disparo, o sea que dejan de funcionar.

pump failure


Explanation:
'Caigan las bombas' significa que dejen de ser operativas.

'a pump failure is possible' o en inglés cotidiano 'the pumps stop working'.

The lists in the spreadsheet were put together by researching the Web for centrifugal pump failure causes, including failure modes of components in the wet-end, the bearing housing, the drive coupling, the electric drive motor and the base with foundations. I took all the failure causes for each failure mode off the Internet by doing a web browser search of articles and websites describing centrifugal pump failure, bearing failure, impeller failure, etc. It took me about two days to do the research and compile the lists into the MS Excel 97 format spreadsheet you can download.
