AFFINITY LAWSWhat happens to Flow, Head and Power with Speed? Flow changes DIRECTLY (linear) with RPM… Head changes as a SQUARE of RPM… Power is proportional to Flow times Head – it changes as CUBE of RPM… Q ~ RPM H ~ RPM2 BHP ~ RPM3 Pumping Machinery, Pump School
More Affinity Laws… When impeller OD is trimmed – Flow, Head and Power follow the Affinity Laws very similar to the case of speed change: ODold Q ~ x H ~ x2 BHP ~ x3 ODnew where x is a cut ratio: x = ODnew/ODold (Note: additional correction applies for cuts over 10%) Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Case B – mostly friction If the system can not handle it – more pumps will not add any more flow! Head, ft Flow, gpm 1000 500 550 !? Pumping Machinery, Pump School
In your kitchen, the water boils at 100 oC (212 o F) – and that is at atmospheric pressure If pressure drops, the water will boil at lower pressure On top of high mountain water boils at perhaps 95 oC ? Pumping Machinery, Pump School
NPSH DEFINITION NPSHA = available NPSHR = required NPSHA is a total available suction pressure - over the vapor pressure - (expressed in feet of head). In other words, it is Net Suction Head minus vapor pressure (expressed as head) NPSHA is NOT simply the level of liquid in the suction tank… Pumping Machinery, Pump School
A lot of bubbles… More bubbles… Incipient Head, ft 3% NPSHR3% NPSHA, ft Pumping Machinery, Pump School
NPSHR With suction pressure dropping, a point may be reached that liquid starts to transform into vapor somewhere inside the pump. This is not good. But how bad is bad? Hydraulic Institute define the NPSHrequired as such value of NPSHR when a pump losses 3% of its developed head. They call this NPSHR3% For simplicity, they just write it as NPSHR, implying 3% Pumping Machinery, Pump School
CAVITATION DAMAGE Too many candies makes kids hyper. But it also ruins their teeth. Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Impeller inlet – blades cavitation on a suction side As bubbles flow from low pressure to higher, they implode against metal surfaces. These micro-hammer-like impacts erode the material, creating cavities – thus “cavitation” Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Good ways to fight suction problems: • Make sure a pump is as close to suction source as possible • For double-suction pumps, suction valve stem should be oriented for symmetrical feed flow • Smaller eye impeller (lower suction specific speed) can help • Inlet sump design – critical: vortexing and air entrapment could be a nightmare • Metallurgy – 316ss stainless work-hardens, while iron does not very long Pumping Machinery, Pump School
SEALING METHODS • PACKINGS: inexpensive, but - 10 drops per minute • MECHANICAL SEALS: most popular, 10 “drops” per day • SEAL-LESS: more expensive, but - zero leak • CANNED MOTORS • MAG-DRIVES Pumping Machinery, Pump School

Pump-to-Piping Alignment Step 1: Pre-installation stage (pump may not have even arrived to site yet) – anchor the main piping properly. Leave room for the final spool pieces (to be made later) by the pump. Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Step 8: Install the spool pieces between piping and a pump. Leave gaps (1/16” – 1/8”) for the gaskets. This gap is the only distance the piping will be pulled during final bolting, and stresses will be minimal. (The pump will thank you for that). Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Pumps Troubleshooting • Startups • Troubleshooting • Repair and Overhaul Note of acknowledgmentisdueto my friend Mr.. JimBrennanof IMO/Colfax, and his excellent articles on pumps startup, troubleshooting and overhaul, published in Pumps & Systems magazine over the years. Jim has over 30 years experience in the pump industry, and is active in various pump committees and organizations. Much of this information was based on his recommendations, as well as our numerous and continued discussions and friendly debates over the years. Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Startups • Most vulnerable time for pumps • Read technical manuals and instructions thoroughly • Pump • Driver • Auxiliaries • Review piping and valving first • Backwards? • Absent? • No weld beads, no weld rods, no scale • Temporarily strainers • Permanent strainers • Clean start conditions Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Startups – cont. • Was piping pressure tested? Design limits observed? • Low pressure air to find gasket leaks • Check and tighten flange bolts to correct values • Is inlet piping straight for long enough distance? • Is piping adequately supported? Is your pump condemned to be an anchor? • Pressure relief valves present? • Entire system should be flushed – by a temporarily pump • At least 24 hours • Higher flow rates to dislodge junk • Some junk may remain for 30 days or more • “Pigs” sometimes use to get pipes clean Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Startups – cont. • Make sure valves that should be open – are open • Make sure valves that should be closed – are closed • Air bleed installed at high point? • Observe, and exercise caution • Foundation, Alignment and Rotation • Level and clean • Hold-down bolts tight • Cold or Hot alignment • Dowelled in-place? • Direction of rotation? Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Startups – cont. • Lubrication – is everything greased or oiled? • A person should be able to turn over almost all pumps by hand • Startup spares • Elastomers and gaskets • Bearings • Seals • Critical parts • Pressure gages – without them you are working blind • How will you verify flow? • Speed tachometer • Temperature Pumping Machinery, Pump School
Startups – cont. • Fill the pump and inlet piping as much as possible • Do not run dry • Have safety phone numbers on hand: key vendors, medical, fire, etc. • Err on a safe side Pumping Machinery, Pump School
