  2. Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump_selection...

    This is a crucial parameter for pump selection and is a popularly used parameter for ascertaining industrial requirements. By eliminating the inlet head, we remove the effect of the supplied pressure to the pump and are left with only the pump’s energy (head) contribution to the fluid flow. Schematic representation of pressure heads in a pump.

  3. Net positive suction head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_positive_suction_head

    If an NPSH A is say 10 bar then the pump you are using will deliver exactly 10 bar more over the entire operational curve of a pump than its listed operational curve. Example: A pump with a max. pressure head of 8 bar (80 metres) will actually run at 18 bar if the NPSH A is 10 bar. i.e.: 8 bar (pump curve) plus 10 bar NPSH A = 18 bar.

  4. Thermodynamic pump testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_pump_testing

    Thermodynamic pump testing is a form of pump testing where only the temperature rise, power consumed, and differential pressure need to be measured to find the efficiency of a pump. These measurements are typically made with insertion temperature probes and pressure probes fitted to tapping points on the pump's inlet and outlet. [ 1 ]

  5. Suction pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_pressure

    In refrigeration and air conditioning systems, the suction pressure' (also called the low-side pressure) is the intake pressure generated by the system compressor while operating. The suction pressure, along with the suction temperature the wet bulb temperature of the discharge air are used to determine the correct refrigerant charge in a system.

  6. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Self-priming pumps have to be capable of evacuating air from the pump suction line without any external auxiliary devices. Centrifugal pumps with an internal suction stage such as water-jet pumps or side-channel pumps are also classified as self-priming pumps. [10] Self-Priming centrifugal pumps were invented in 1935.

  7. Circulator pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulator_pump

    In the event of an excessive pressure decrease, in some parts of the rotor, the pressure can be lower than the saturation pressure corresponding to the temperature of the pumped liquid, causing the so-called cavitation, i.e. liquid evaporation. To prevent this, the pressure in the suction port (at the inlet of the pump) should be higher than ...

  8. Vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum

    Pressure range Definition The reasoning for the definition of the ranges is as follows (typical circumstances): Prevailing atmospheric pressure (31 kPa to 110 kPa) to 100 Pa low (rough) vacuum Pressure can be achieved by simple materials (e.g. regular steel) and positive displacement vacuum pumps; viscous flow regime for gases

  9. Turbomolecular pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbomolecular_pump

    Since the mean free path is inversely proportional to pressure, a turbopump will pump when the exhaust pressure is less than about 10 Pa (0.10 mbar) where the mean free path is about 0.7 mm. Most turbopumps have a Holweck pump (or molecular drag pump) as their last stage to increase the maximum backing pressure (exhaust pressure) to about 1 ...
