SAMPLE SLIDES OF THE 2-DAY SEMINAR FOR ENGINEERS As you will notice there are few words on these slides, your trainer will provide you with his experience which will make these images come alive providing you with the opportunity to reflect and ask questions, the more the better. All of the presentation slides are available in a binder supplied with the seminar. PUMP SYSTEM ANALYSIS A BRIEF HISTORY OF PUMPS A BRIEF HISTORY France 1600’S HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE VS. FLUID COLUMN HEIGHT The weight of a fluid column is: F gV V z A since V zA Pressure (p) is equal to the weight of the fluid (F) divided by the surface area (A) at the bottom of the fluid column: p F zA z A A PRESSURE VS. THE SHAPE OF CONTAINERS OPEN SYSTEMS AND ENTHALPY Conservation of energy demands that: PUMP TOTAL HEAD The energy balance is: W E K E P E Q E The specific energy or head balance is (pF12 pEQ12 ) pP Subsituting other expressions for head terms: ( p1 p2 ) 1 2 2 (v1 v2 ) ( z1 z2 ) 2g 1 2 2 H P H F 12 H EQ12 (v2 v1 ) z2 H 2 ( z1 H1 ) 2g THE CONTROL VOLUME APPLIED TO A REAL SYSTEM PRESSURE HEAD ANYWHERE ON THE SUCTION SIDE OF THE PUMP 0 2 2 H P (H F12 H EQ12) 1 (v2 v1 )(z2 H2 (z1 H1)) 2g H X ( H F 1 X 1 H EQ1 X ) (v12 v X 2 ) ( z1 H1 z X ) 2g NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD AVAILABLE (N.P.S.H.) DEFINITION: NPSH is the head at the pump suction minus the vapor pressure head What is vapor pressure ? N.P.S.H. REQUIRED HOW IS THE N.P.S.H. REQUIRED LEVEL DETERMINED?

Replace a standard motor with a high efficiency motor Typically 1.5 to 5% and as much as 8% Replace a standard efficiency motor with one that meets or surpasses the NEMA Premium standard Winning conditions consumption 1 When the motors are defective or at the end of their useful life or when a motor must be replaced to accommodate a VFD. High efficiency motors Opportunities with higher return Opportunities in electrical energy reduction 2. Install a variable frequency drive (VFD) A VFD can adjust the speed of a motor in response to a variable demand avoiding the throttling of control valves or the opening of recirculation control valves and the energy losses incurred. Possible decrease in electrical Winning conditions consumption 1 Typically 12 to 15% and as much as 27% Ideal solution when the flow varies between 40 and 60% 6 PUMP SYSTEMS Pumps in parallel - Instability Minimum submergence of the pump inlet The effect of air (or gas) entrainment in the pump suction VARIOUS ITEMS Quick guide Viscosity ASME max. pressure allowable DYNAMIC VISCOSITY F K dv dy K dv 1 dv A dy A dy K 1 dv dy THE EFFECT OF VISCOSITY ON PUMP PERFORMANCE
