This four-part series explains the reasons behind repeat pump failures and uses a real-world field example involving boiler feedwater pumps.
Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps are the most common pump, used in a wide variety of applications, especially water. They include one or more impellers that rotate and pull the fluid through. Impellers can be trimmed to change head or flow to enhance efficiency. They are not commonly used in non-Newtonian fluids.
Reconstruction and infrastructure upgrades require pumps made from durable materials.
Customers’ focus on efficiency and new techniques drives better ice quality in water and beverage markets.
These recommendations will ensure consistent, high lifts.
The pumping operation experienced an 80-percent reduction in energy use.
Pressure gauges are inexpensive components that can predict the causes of poor reliability in centrifugal pumps and prevent costly repairs and downtime.
Many options are available to meet industry and application requirements.
Appropriate bearing selection and best-practice maintenance procedures can make a difference in pump reliability, service life and production.
Correctly selecting and installing the ideal component provides significant health, environmental and economic benefits.
A slurry pump hydraulic lab performs tests which can lead to improvements in pump design for reduced impact wear effects.
There are many indications that end users should not use a valve for flow control—or at least not to extremes.
In construction, mining and wastewater applications, pump choice is critical.
An aggregate production company saves more than $30,000 annually with new installation efficiency and productivity increases.
Smart planning and advanced technology can overcome the complex and energy-intensive challenge of removing water from mines.
