Located:• Hannover, Germany• River called Ihme

History: • Carbon power plant (1960–1990)• Steam power plant (1990–1999)• Now gas and steam turbine power plant

Power:• operating 3.000 hours per year• 10.000 MWh => energy for 4000 households

per year Hannover

Intention of the examination

Situation:• The power plant gets enlarged: more cooling water needed second pump (SCWP) for each pump sump

• Optimal: one pump sump for each pump cannot be realized The pumps cannot be placed in-line

because of an obstacle

Problem: • pumps are sensible towards air-pulling

Aim:find out the circumstances, under which the pumps can operate reliable is it possible to have two pumps in one pump sump in general lowest water level
