Bearings in centrifugal pumps - SKF
www.skf.comis the head at the pump inlet (suction) needed for the pump to satisfac-torily draw the fluid into the impeller. If the available head at the pump inlet, called net Positive Suction Head available (NPSH a), is less than the pump’s NPSH r, cavitation will occur and performance will be reduced. Cavitation is the phenomenon that oc-

ocw.tudelft.nlo Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) curve. Each of the characteristics is explained in the next sections for propeller pumps. 3.2.1 Q-H curve The Q-H curve is the relation between the volume flow and the pressure at a constant speed of the pump crank. The H in the curve is the difference in energy level between the suction and the pressure side ...
Introduction to Pumping Stations for Water Supply Systems
sswm.infothe centrifugal horizontal or vertical split case pump designed for water-works service. If the pump station and intake structure are to be located within a surface or underground reservoir, vertical turbine pumps with the column extending down into the reservoir or its suction well will be a logical choice.
