Figure 7 - How to read a positive displacement pump curve.The importance of viscosity in pump selection Positive displacement pumps deliver a constant flow of fluid at a given pump speed. When fluid flow or viscosity increases, however, resistance to flow increases, so to maintain system flow ...
Preventing Cavitation in Centrifugal Pump System design or operation may be necessary to increase the NPSHA above the NPSHR and stop the cavitation. Centrifugal Pump Characteristic Curve Centrifugal Pump Characteristic Curve Centrifugal Pump Protection Centrifugal pumps must also be protected from runout....
Different from the surface pump system, the ESP systems are particularly designed to be immersed in fluid. It can be either located in a well or on the seabed. The ESP motors are pressure balanced with the environment, whether that is downhole pressure or water pressure in subsea conditions....
Through multiple nonlinear regression analysis, a curve formula can be fitted to predict the soil temperature variations under intermittent operation of the ground source heat pump in winter, Dalian. It can be found that the soil temperature increases at an exponential function with each factor....

The vaned diffuser is designed for guiding water and supporting the weight of the shaft system and motor. The volute is designed for flow guidance and energy recovery. Figure 1 shows the schematic map of the pump model with the indication of the components. Coordinate X-Y-Z is defined for ...
The pump efficiency is determined for each measuring point immediately following the measurement by the testing system. According to the following formula:η=(Q×H×ρ×100)/(367×P) Flow rate Q [m³/h] Head H [m] Density ρ [kg/dm3] of pumped medium Power P [kW] ...
system curve A will all be approximately at the same efficiency. Whereas the points that lie on system curve B are not. The affinity laws do not apply to points that belong to system curve B. System curve B describes a system with a relatively high static head vs. system curve A which...
First, the energy characteristics and pressure fluctuations in the pump of the large axial flow pump station system are experimentally tested under reverse power generation conditions. The reliability of the entropy generation numerical calculation is verified both experimentally and theoretically. Then, ...
The curve denoted as ‘system resistance’ is the relationship between feedwater flow and the head that has to be produced by the boiler feed pump to pump the feedwater into the boiler. Also shown in the diagram are the design values of feedwater flow for the turbine plant, boiler plant ...
