G GEEN NEERRAALL The design of a piping system can have an important effect on the successful operation of a cceennttrriiffuuggaall ppuum mpp. Such items as pump design, suction piping design, suction and discharge pipe size and pipe supports must all be carefully considered. A typical horizontal cceennttrriiffuuggaall ppuum mpp installation is illustrated in FFiigg..CCPPPP11,, CCPPPP22,, CCPPPP33. Selection of the discharge pipe size is primarily a matter of economics. The cost of various pipe sizes must be compared to the pump size and power cost required to overcome the resulting friction head. 11..11 The suction piping size and design is far more important. Many cceennttrriiffuuggaall ppuum mpp troubles are caused by poor suction conditions. +1 + 536 SUBSCRIBE UPDATES. IT'S FREE! Your email: Enter email address...

Suction pipes should be as short and as straight as possible. Special Pipe Supporting Cases SPECIAL SUPPORTING CASES: Few special supporting cases near pumps, tall… Suction pipe velocities should be in the 1.0 – 1.5 metre per second range, unless suction conditions are unusually good. Higher velocities will increase the friction loss Nozzle loads – Part 2 << Nozzle loads part 1 1.1 Proprietary Equipment Various Mechanical equipments… and can result in trouble some air and vapour separation. This is further complicated when elbows or tees are located adjacent to the pump suction nozzle. In that case uneven flow patterns or vapour separation keeps the liquid from evenly filling the impeller. This upsets hydraulic balance leading to noise, vibration, possible Kinetic Pumps- Centrifugal, Peripheral and Special Pumps Table of contents: 1. Introduction to Pump 2. Types of… cavitation and excessive shaft deflection. Cavitation, erosion damage, shaft breakage or permature bearing failure etc. may result. 11..33 On pump installations involving suction lift, air pockets in the suction line can be a source of trouble. The suction pipe should be exactly horizontal or with a uniform slope upward from the sump to the pump as illustrated in Fig.CPP7. There should be no high spots where air can collect and cause the pump to lose its prime. Eccentric rather than concentric reducers with flat side top should always be used. 11..44 If an elbow is required at the suction of a double suction pump, it should be in a vertical position if at all possible. Where it is necessary for some reason to use a horizontal elbow, it should be a long radius elbow and there should be a minimum of five diameters of straight pipe between elbow and the pump suction as illustrated in Fig.CPP9.

LLO OCCAATTIIO ON N 22..11 Common location of pumps in chemical and petrochemical plant is under the piperack at grade. Pumps are to be placed close to and below the vessels from which they take their suction in order to have net-positive suction head (NPSH) required by the pump. 22..22 Any reduction in suction line size required at pumps should be made with eccentric reducers, with flat side up to avoid accumulation of vapour pocket.

When the pumps are located below the piperack (to reduce possibility of hydrogen leakage over motor), support becomes easy otherwise the designer should consult stress engineer for best location of stops and hanger. With the optimum layout and support, it is to be ensured that the loadings on the pump nozzles are not exceeded beyond the allowable limits. 44..1100 Piping configuration for a group of pumps of similar size shall follow identical pattern and the stress analysis of one pump piping should be applicable to the other pumps. 44..1111 Auxiliary Pump Piping Arrangements: The Auxiliary piping are usually cooling water to mechanical seals, bearings, stuffing boxes, gland quench and lantern ring flush. When pump fluid is used, a line is attached to the vent connection on the pump case. The circulated seal fluid has to be sent back to pump stream or referred through the seal to pump internal clearances. In viscous or high temperature hydrocarbon liquids, the seal fluid medium circulates from external source through connections on the pump seal. Various Auxiliary piping plan is recommended in API 610 for proper selection according to design requirements. 44..1122 Pump vendors usually supply the Auxiliary piping and the neat arrangements of these piping and its support are to be ensured by the designer while reviewing the vendor document. Fig.CPP10 illustrates one typical Auxiliary piping arrangement on the pump base plate. 44..1133 A typical arrangement for piping and valves operation is illustrated in Fig.CPP11 with maintenance and operation access. 44..1144 A typical suction and discharge piping arrangement with common platform for operation of valves connected to two adjacent pumps is illustrated in Fig.CPP12 and CPP13. 55..

The recommendations of hydraulic institute are illustrated in Fig.CPP14. 55..22 The flow of fluid to the suction bell should be even, smooth and stream lined without any vortices. 55..33 A typical sump with the components and relative dimensions of clearance and submergence is illustrated in Fig.CPP15. 55..44 For multiple pump installations with high capacity pumps, the analysis of a proposed intake design are often made by use of a scale model of the intake basin with all parts such as baffles, screens, gates, separating walls etc. The large basin is required to ensure low inlet velocity (approx. 2 ft. per sec.) and to eliminate vortexing at the bell mouth. 55..55 A typical sump pit with pump is illustrated in Fig CPP16. This sump is the collection pit of waste material coming through a pipeline. A screen at the mouth of the pump avoids choking / fouling of the pump during operation.
