Centrifugal Pumps. In a centrifugal pump, pumping action is generated by means of centrifugal force. Theessential components of a centrifugal pump are the pump volute, impellers and pump/shaft; all driven by anelectric motor prime mover. A simplified pump diagram is illustrated in Figure 2-3 below:

Centrifugal Pump - Theory of OperationAs the impeller rotates, liquidis taken in at the eye of theimpeller and forced out alongvanes to its tips. The liquidmoves faster at the tips of theimpeller than at the eye. Thefluid is then gathered in thepump volute, where velocityenergy is converted topressure energy inprogressive stages untildischarge. The rapid outwardmovement of fluid from theeye of the impellers creates alow pressure region withinthe eye, which pulls morefluid into the intake at thesame rate as discharged.Pressure and flowperformance of a centrifugalpump is a function ofimpeller diameter, speed,width of internalimpeller/pump house waterpassages and vaneconfiguration.

Impellers are generallyclassified as open, semi-openor enclosed. Enclosedimpellers can be of thefloating or fixed type basedon the industry or applicationrequirements.

Pump Performance Characteristics and CurvesGeneral. Centrifugal pumps have head-flow characteristics, just as motors have speed-torque characteristics. At afixed speed, the head developed by a pump will decrease as the flow is increased. Different pump designs willproduce different characteristics, as illustrated in Figure 2-5 below:

Reading a pumpcurve is fairlystraight forward.Pump/performancecurves consist of asimple graph withflow rates (Q) alongthe horizontal axisand pressures/head(H) along the verticalaxis. The datagraphed on the curveis typically based ona fixed speed.

Performance Characteristics. Performance characteristics of centrifugal pumps are described in curves developedby pump manufacturers. Typical performance curve presentations are illustrated in Figure 2-7 and describes therelationships between (1) capacity and total dynamic head, (2) capacity and efficiency, (3) capacity and brakehorsepower, and in some cases, (4) capacity and net positive suction head (NPSH). Individual curve parameters arediscussed below.

Performance Curves1. Total dynamic head- capacity curves show the total head developed by the pump at a given capacity. Figure 2-6

shows that a pump will operate over conditions ranging from shutoff (no flow) to maximum flow. Maximumtotal head usually occurs at shutoff. As capacity increases, total head developed decreases. Maximum flow willoccur with minimum head.

2. Efficiency-capacity curves describe the relationship between pump efficiency and capacity. Efficiency ismaximized at the design capacity where hydraulic, mechanical, and leakage losses within a pump areminimum. These losses included leakage between impeller and pump house; fluid friction losses in all flowpassages such as rotor chamber, impeller, pump house and thrust bearing friction. If the pump operates atcapacities greater or less than at the design capacity, pump efficiency will decrease.

3. Brake horsepower-capacity curves show the brake horsepower required by the pump at a given capacity withinits performance range. They can be used to select and properly size a motor, as well as quantify the impellerloading characteristic as nonoverloading or overloading. In the nonoverloading case, BHP varies slightly overthe pump s operating range with the maximum BHP occurring at or near the point of maximum efficiency.

A change in operating conditions will not overload themotor if the motor is sized for maximum efficiencyconditions. Overloading curves are characterized by largechanges in BHP over a pump's operating range such that amotor selected for one set of operating conditions maybecome overloaded if changes in these conditions occur.

4. Net Positive Suction Head - Capacity curves show therequired NPSH (NPSHR) for a particular pump design tooperate without cavitation. Pump NPSH requirementsincrease as capacity increases. Pump NPSH requirementsare determined by the manufacturer.

Shape of Pump Curve. There are three types of H-Q curves steep, flat and drooping. Steep curves arecharacterized by a large change in total head between shut off and capacity at maximum efficiency, while asmall change occurs for flat curves. Drooping curves are characterized by an increase in total head to somemaximum value as capacity increases, then a decrease as capacity continues to increase; maximum head doesnot occur at shutoff.

Steep and flat curves are called stablecurves because only one capacityexists for a particular head. Droopingcurves are called unstable curves, astwo operating capacities for givenhead are possible on either side of themaximum head point. The instabilitycreated by the existence of twopossible discharge rates at the samehead can cause a system to huntback and forth between capacities.Performance curves also may haveirregularities or flat regions which cancause unstable performance if thepump operates within the unstableregion.

Hydraulic Characteristic and Curve Standards. The head (in feet of liquid) developed by a centrifugal pump isindependent of the specific gravity. Water at normal temperatures (60°- 70°F) with a specific gravity of 1.0 is theliquid almost universally used in establishing centrifugal pump performance characteristics. If the head for aspecific application is determined in feet, then the desired head and capacity can be read without correction aslong as the viscosity of the liquid is similar to that of water. The horsepower (BHP) curve, which is also based ona specific gravity of 1.0, can be used for fluids other than water (if viscosity is similar to water) by multiplying thehorsepower for water by the specific gravity of the liquid being handled.

The hydraulic characteristics of centrifugal pumps usually permit considerable latitude in the range of operatingconditions. Ideally, the design point and operation point should be maintained close to the best efficiency point(BEP); however, substantial variations in flow either to the right (increasing) or to the left (decreasing) of the BEPare usually permissible, operating back on the curve at reduced flow, or at excessive run out may result in radialthrust, or cavitation, causing damage.

For pumps in the centrifugal range of specific speeds the relationships between capacity, head and horsepowerwith changes in impeller diameter and speed can be predicted using the affinity laws.

The most crucial application parameters to be established for the proper selection and sizing of pumpingequipment are capacity (Q), total head (H) and Power-Horsepower (HP) requirements. Additional factors to beconsidered when selecting a pump and motor are:

1. Downthrust: The thrust bearing of an electric motor for pumps is designed to carry the weight of the rotatingelements of the pump and motor assembly, as well as the hydraulic thrust created by the pump while it isoperating. Each manufacturer has a specific method for determination of hydraulic thrust loads. Themaximum hydraulic thrust plus the pump rotating element weight should not exceed the thrust capacity ofthe motor.

2. Upthrust: Upthrust may occur when pumps are operated at flow rates greater than those suggested by themanufacturer. If the pump is to be operated under these conditions, consult the pump or motor manufacturerfor recommendations.

This is not an attempt to present a course in Hydraulics, but rather a review of the terms and formulae commonlyencountered in the centrifugal pump industry. The science of hydraulics is the study of the behavior of liquids atrest and in motion. We are interested in the information and data necessary to aid in the solution of problemsinvolving the flow of liquids commonly pumped by electrically driven centrifugal pumps.

The fluid of primary interest is water in the temperature range of 32 -300°F, other selective fluids are glycol/watermixtures. In most hot water pumping applications, variations in water viscosity and density associated withtemperature variations must be accounted for if proper system sizing and pump/system operation is expected.

In order to move (pump) water against gravity or to force it into a pressure vessel, and/or to simply overcome pipefriction and associated losses, work must be expended. The various hydraulic and pumping application principalsrelative to this objective are discussed throughout this section.

DDeennssiittyy,, SSppeecciiffiicc GGrraavviittyy aanndd SSppeecciiffiicc WWeeiigghhtt

DDeennssiittyy.. The density of a liquid is its weight per unit volume. Fresh water has a density of 62.4 pounds per cubicfoot (lbs./cu. ft.) or 8.34 pounds per gallon (lbs./gal.). A liquid has many different numerical terms to describe itsdensity but only one specific gravity (sg).

SSppeecciiffiicc GGrraavviittyy.. Specific gravity (sg) is a relative measure of a fluid's density as compared with water at astandard temperature (most often 60°F). The sg of water at 60°F is 1.0. If the density of the fluid is greater thanwater, its specific gravity will be greater than 1. A sg of 1.2 means its density is 20% greater than water. The sg ofliquid does not affect the performance of a pump except for the horsepower which is required.

SSppeecciiffiicc WWeeiigghhtt.. The specific weight of a fluid can be determined by multiplying the fluid density by the sg ofthe fluid relative to the density of water (8.34 lbs./gal.). Gasoline with a sg = .72, weighs approximately 6.0lbs./gal. (.72 x 8.34 lbs./gal.)

PPrreessssuurree aanndd HHeeaadd

PPrreessssuurree.. Pressure is a force per unit area and is commonly expressed in terms of pounds per square inch (psi).The pressure existing at any point in a liquid at rest is caused by the atmospheric pressure exerted on thesurface, plus the weight of liquid above the point in question and/or any externally applied pressurization. Thepressure is equal in all directions and acts perpendicularly to any surface in contact with the liquid.

Head and pressure are related in a very simple and directmanner. Since water has known weight, we know that a 231foot long, one-inch square pipe holds 100 pounds of water.At the bottom of the one-inch square pipe we refer to thepressure as 100 pounds per square inch (psi). For anydiameter pipe 231 feet high, the pressure will always be 100psi at the bottom. Refer to Figure 8-F.

HHeeaadd.. Is usually expressed in feet and refers to the height, orelevation, of the column of water. In Figure 8-F we see that acolumn of water 231 feet high creates a pressure reading of100 psi. That same column of water is referred to as having231 feet of head. Thus, for water, 231 feet of head isequivalent to 100 psi. Or, 2.31 feet of head equals 1 psi.

It should be noted that head and pressure readings for non-flowing water depend on the elevation of the water and noton the volume of water nor the size or length of piping.

In the vernacular of the pump industry, when the term pressure is used it generally refers to units in psi;whereas, head refers to feet of the liquid being pumped.

Head and pressure are related mathematically by the formula:

The head (expressed in feet) at the base of a given column of liquid will always be the same, regardless ofwhat liquid is used. The pressure (expressed in psi) at the bottom of the column will vary with the specificgravity of the liquid. Pressure and head are simply a different way of expressing the same value in themost advantages form for the hydraulic application.

GGaauuggee aanndd AAbbssoolluuttee PPrreessssuurree.. “ppssiigg” and “ppssiiaa” are the abbreviations for pounds per square inch - gaugeand pounds per square inch - absolute. Respectively Zero psig is the pressure above atmospheric pressure,which is 14.7 psia at sea level. Zero psia is the absolute pressure above a perfect vacuum. A pressure gaugecalibrated to read in psia would show a reading 14.7 psi greater than a gauge calibrated in psig. A throughunderstanding of this difference is essential for calculating involving NPSH, suction lift, siphons, etc. Whenthe term psi is used alone, it refers to psig.

VVeelloocciittyy HHeeaadd.. Velocity head expressed by the formula V2/2g can be defined as the equivalent head,measured in feet or meters, of a stream of liquid with velocity ( V ) , if the kinetic energy involved werecompletely converted to head. Hv losses are a factor in caluculating the total dynamic head (TDH). Theirvalue is relatively small and in most cases can be neglected when velocity is less than 10 feet per second(fps) (ie. Hv = .10 @ 10 fps). Hv losses are normally ignored in calculation of total dynamic head (TDH) inmost applications; however, they re often included in compiling manufacturer test data.

FFlluuiidd FFlloowwWater is practically incompressible with a compressibility of approximately .33% volume reduction for every1000 psi. Because of the relative incompressibility of water, there is a definite relationship between thequantity of liquid flowing in a conduit and the velocity of flow. The relationship is known as the continuityequation and is expressed as follows:

Where;

QQ = Capacity in cubic feet per second (cfs)AA = Area of conduit in square feet (sq. ft.)VV = Velocity of flow in feet per second (fps)IIDD = Internal diameter of circular conduit/pipe (in.)

VVoolluummee.. The standard volume unit for water pumping application in the U.S. in the gallon (gal.) and to alesser degree the cubic foot (cu. ft.). The rate of flow is expressed in gallons per minute (gpm) and in cubicfeet per second (cfs) where large volumes of water is being moved.

Volume flow rates in gpm can be converted to a heat output rate in BTUs per hour (BTUs./hr.) utilizing theformula:

Note: 1. * One gallon of water weighs 8.43 lbs./gal. @ 60°F; therefore, 60 x 8.34 = 500 BTU s

Head (ft.) = psi x 2.31 specific gravity_..

FFrriiccttiioonn LLoossssWhen water moves through a pipe, it must overcome resistance to flow caused by friction as it moves along thewalls of the pipe as well as resistance caused by its own turbulence. Added together, these losses are referred toas friction losses and may significantly reduce system pressure.

Figure 8-G illustrates the relationship of flow and friction loss. For any flow through a level pipe the gaugepressure at the pipe inlet will be greater than the gauge pressure at the pipe outlet. The difference is attributedto friction losses caused by the pipe itself and by fittings.

In general, friction losses occur or are increased under the following conditions:

1. Friction losses result from flow through any size or length of pipe (Figure 8-G).

2. Friction losses increase as the flow rate increases or as the pipe size decreases (if the flow rate doubles for a given pipe size, friction losses quadruple, Figure 8-G).

Power is required to push water to a higherelevation, to increase outlet pressure, toincrease flow rates, and to overcome frictionlosses. Good system design and common senseindicate that friction losses should beminimized whenever possible. The costs oflarger pumps, bigger motors, and increasedpower consumption to overcome friction lossesmust be balanced against the increased cost oflarger, but more efficient, system piping. Ineither case, unnecessary valves and fittingsshould be eliminated wherever possible.

VVaappoorr PPrreessssuurreeThe best way to understand vapor pressure is toconsider a container which is completely closedand half filled with liquid. If the container iscompletely evacuated of air, a portion of theliquid will vaporize and fill the upper half of thecontainer with vapor. The pressure of the vapor

in the upper half of the container, is by definition, the vapor pressure of the liquid at that liquid temperature. Theconcept of vapor pressure is illustrated in Figure 2-13.

Vapor pressure is measured in pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and is generally a function of thetemperature of the liquid. It can be thought of as the pressure at which the liquid molecules begin to separate,forming a vapor. At 60°F, the vapor pressure of water is approximately 0.3 psia. At the boiling point of water,(212°F), the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure, 14.7 psia.

Figure 8-G: As Shown in these illustrations friction losses increasewith additional flow rates and the addition of valves and fittings.

PPoowweerr,, EEffffiicciieennccyy aanndd EEnneerrggyyPower. Power is defined as a time-rate of doing work. Horsepower (Hp) is the most common unit used to expresspower requirements for pumping equipment in the United States. One Hp is equal to the work performed overtime when a weight of 33,000 lbs. is lifted on foot in one minute (ie. 1 Hp = 33,000 ft.-lbs./min. or 550 ft.-lbs./sec.).

Water Hp (WHp). Horsepower in pumping applications is a function of the fluid density, flow (Q or m) and totalhead (TH or H) or differential pressure to be developed. Taking water as the basis for calculation at 70°F andatmospheric pressure (sg = 1.0 and density = 8.34 lbs./gal.), the following formulas can be used to expresshydraulic/theoretical Hp (usually called water Hp (WHp):

where; mm = mass flow (lbs./min.)or, QQ = flow (gpm)

HH = TTHH = total head (ft.)

Note: (1) 3960 gal.-ft./min. = (33,000 lbs.- ft./min.) / (8.34 lbs/gal.) = 1.0 Hp(2) WHp = (gpm x psi) / 1714

BHP. The actual or brake horsepower (BHP) of a pump will be greater than the WHp by the amount of lossesincurred within the pump through friction, leakage and recirculation. Such losses are accounted for by the pumpefficiency (PE). The BHP (shaft Hp - power delivered to the pump) can be expressed as:

where;or PPEE = Pump efficiency

Note: (1) PE = WHp / BHP,(2) BHP = gpm x psi / (1714 x PE)

EHp. Electrical Hp input (EHp) to the motor is used for calculating the overall efficiency (OE) of a pumping unit andmotor.

where;or, or, EEmm = motor efficiency

Note: 1 Hp = 0.746 kW

Note: If a variable frequency drive (VFD) is used between the pump and motor, the VFD efficiency should beincluded in the numerator. Typical VFD efficiencies range from 90-98%.

EEffffiicciieennccyy.. The efficiency concepts developed previously in the discussion of Horsepower are summarized asfollows:

Pump efficiency (PE). PE is the ratio of energy delivered by the pump to the energy suppliedto the pump shaft.

Overall efficiency (OE). OE is the ratio of the energy delivered by the pump to the energysupplied to the motor input terminals, and takes into account motor and pump efficiency(ie. OE = PE x ME).

VViissccoossiittyyThe viscosity of a fluid (liquid or gas) is that property which offers resistance to flow due to the existence ofinternal friction within the fluid.

Pumping viscous liquids can present difficult problems for centrifugal pumps. Fortunately, the viscosity changesrelative to water in the temperature range commonly encountered in hot water applications pose no problemsfor centrifugal pumps.

Water is classified as Newtonial fluid, which exhibits decreasing viscosity with temperature. Viscosity changesover the temperature range of interest do have impact on pump performance; however, pipe friction lossesdecrease from a maximum value at 32°F by approximately 40% over the temperature range of 32 - 212°F. Pipingfriction loss tables for water are typically based on a reference temperature of 60°F and require correction forviscosity for water at higher temperatures.

A fluid can be broadly classified as Newtonian, where viscosity remains constant regardless of changes in shearrate or agitation. As pump speed increases, flow increases proportionately. Liquids displaying Newtonianbehavior include water, mineral oils, syrup, hydrocarbons and resins.

Viscosity is described in terms of absolute (dynamic) or kinematic values. Absolute viscosity is technicallydescribed as the shear stress (force) divided by the shear rate (velocity gradient minus max fluid velocity dividedby the distance from pipe wall). Kinematic viscosity is a product of the absolute viscosity divided by density ofthe fluid and is the most common viscosity reference in the pump industry.

One of the most common units of measure of kinematic viscosity is Saybolt Seconds Universal (SSU) This refersto the length of time it takes for a measured quantity of fluid at a specific temperature to drain from a containerwith a measured orifice in the bottom. Water has a viscosity of approximately 31 Saybolts seconds universal(SSU) at 60°F. Kinematic viscosity is also commonly expressed in metric units as stokes or centistokes.

PPuummppiinngg VViissccoouuss LLiiqquuiiddss wwiitthh CCeennttrriiffuuggaall PPuummppss.. Centrifugal pumps are generally not suitable for pumpinghighly viscous liquids. They can be used to pump liquids with viscosities less than 2000 SSU. The volume andpressure capabilities of the pump will be reduced with increasing viscosity. Table 2-2 lists the percent increase inpower required along with the percent reduction in flow and head when pumping liquids of increasingviscosities.

AAffffiinniittyy LLaawwss - PPuummpp SSppeeeeddIn a standard centrifugal pump the characteristic curve for the pump can be changed by either (1) keeping thespeed constant and varying the impeller diameter or by (2) keeping the impeller diameter constant and varyingthe speed. The relationship between these variables are known as the affinity laws and can be expressedmathematically as shown in Table 2-3 below:

Table 2-3: Affinity Laws - Speed / Diameter Relationships

(1) Imp. Dia. Constant / Speed Variable

Q1 / Q2 = N1 / N2

H1 /H2 = (N1)2 /(N2)2

BHp1 / BHp2 = (N1)3 / (N2)3

(2) Speed Constant / Imp. Dia. Constant

Q1 / Q2 = D1 / D2

H1 / H2 = (D1)2 / (D2)2

BHp 1 / BHp2 = (D1)3 / (D2)3

Q1, H1, BHp1, D1 and N1 = Initial Capacity (gpm), Head (ft.), Brake Horsepower (Hp), Diameter (in.) and

Speed (rpm).

Q2, H2, BHp2, D2 and N2 = New Capacity (gpm), Head (ft.), Brake Horsepower (Hp), Diameter (in.) and

Speed (rpm).

In certain pump applications, where the pump is driven by an electric motor, and impeller trimming (diameterchanges) are not available, speed changes are most commonly accomplished through the use of a variablefrequency drive (VFD). Frequency (Hz) can be interchanged with the speed (N) in the application of the affinitylaws, as they are directly proportional. This relationship makes it possible to calculate pump performance withreasonable accuracy, at any speed, if the performance at the initial speed/ frequency is known. The use offrequency in predicting pump performance is illustrated in Table 2-4 below:

Table 2-4: Affinity Laws - Frequency Performance Relationship

(3) Imp. Dia. Constant / Frequency Variable

Q2 = (Hz2 / Hz1) Q 1

Hz2 = (Hz2 / Hz1)2 H21

BHp2 = (Hz2 / Hz1)3 BHp1

Q1, H1 and BHp1 = Initial Capacity (gpm), Head (ft.) and

Brake Horsepower (Hp)

Q2, H2 and BHp2 = New Capacity (gpm), Head (ft.) and

Brake Horsepower (Hp)

The affinity laws are theoretical and do not always give the same results as an actual test, as they do not take intoconsideration various dynamic factors such as intake losses and motor slip. They do serve as an excellent guide forcalculating unknown performance characteristics from known values when test data is not available. These laws(frequency variable) are summarized as follows:

1. The capacity varies directly with the speed. (Q is proportional Hz)2. The head varies with the square of the speed. (H is proportional Hz2)3. The horse power varies with the cube of the speed. (BHp is proportional Hz3)4. Efficiency remains approximately the same between the original and corresponding H-Q performance point at

the new speed.

Efficiency is assumed to remain the same for calculation purposes (variations in efficiency is likely to occur outsidethe published speed rating based on actual test). The affinity law relationships are primarily applicable tocentrifugal pumps with specific speeds (Ns) of 3500 or less. Pumps utilizing impellers with Ns greater than 3500(mixed / axial flow designs), can not be as accurately estimated using the affinity laws.

SSppeecciiffiicc SSppeeeeddImpeller Specific Speed (Ns). In 1915, a European by the name of R. Cameron introduced a characteristic to describethe hydraulic design type of turbines and pumps. This characteristic is referred to as Specific Speed and isdefined as the speed at which a given impeller would operate if reduced proportionally in size, so as to deliver aflow of one gallon per minute at one foot of head. Specific speed (Ns) can be calculated as follows:

where; NN = speed (rpm) @ full load (single stage)QQ = flow (gpm) @ BEP (best efficiency point)HH = head (ft.) @ BEP (single stage)

The NNss of a given pump is the same at all rotative speeds. A low specific speed indicates a pump designed for alow capacity and a high pumping head. Conversely, a high NNss pump is one designed for a high capacity and a lowpumping head.

NNss serves to inter-relate pump hydraulic performance characteristics (flow, head, speed, etc.) and impeller physicaldimensions in such a manner to make equipment design and application more systematic. It can also be used as ageneral criterion for predicting pump suitability under unusual operating scenarios, such as entrained gas andminimum NPSH conditions.

SSuuccttiioonn SSppeecciiffiicc SSppeeeedd ((SS)).. Suction specific speed, like impeller specific speed, is a parameter for indexing hydraulicdesign used to describe the suction capabilities and characteristics of a pump impeller. Suction specific speed (S)can be expressed mathematically as follows:

where; NN = speed (rpm) @ full load (single stage)QQ = flow (gpm) @ BEPNNPPSSHHRR = Net Positive Suction Head Required (ft.) @ BEP

SS is a number used for labeling impellers relative to their NPSH requirement. It is independent of the pump sizeand impeller (operating) specific speed (Ns). SS is primarily an impeller design parameter and is not an importantfactor in the application of low capacity (< 3000 gpm) submersible pumps, and is discussed for completeness.Suction specific speeds (S) can range from 3000 - 20,000, depending on the impeller design, speed, capacity andcondition of service. Good quality commercial pump designs fall into the SS range of 7,000 - 10,000.

SSppeeeedd TToorrqquuee RReellaattiioonnsshhiippssThe typical speed - torque curve for most centrifigal pumps is illustrated in Figure 2-18. The relationship is valid forall centrifugal pumps in the low to medium specific speed range (Ns = 3500 or less). A plot of pump speed -torque requirements vs the driving motor speed - torque capabilities is often of interest to insure;

(1) Fixed speed applications - The motor has sufficient torque to set the load in motion at start-up.(2) Variable speed / frequency applications - Adequate torque is available to drive the pump at various loads and

operating frequencies, when voltage is clamped.

The electric motor (pump driver) must be capable of supplying more torque at each successive speed, from zero tofull load, than required by the pump to reach full speed. This condition is seldom a problem with the typicalinduction motor. Improperly applied reduced voltage starting equipment and/or improperly sized cable can createstart-up torque problem, as a result of low motor terminal voltage. Voltage is related to starting torque as follows:(T is proportional V2).

Using a nominal 2-pole motor speed of 3500 rpm (1760 rpm for 4-pole motors) and the calculated BHP. Pumptorque can then be calculated, plugging into the formula below.

where; TT = Torque (ft. - lbs.)BBHHPP = Brake Horsepower (Hp)rrppmm = Speed (rev. per min.)

It is normally acceptable to estimate a pump s full load torque requirement using the manufacturer s publishedH-Q data, where full load speed and BHP at peak efficiency is usually listed. Full load (speed) torque are typicallycalculated at the best efficiency point (BEP). Torque varies with the square of the speed; therefore, when full loadtorque is known - torque at other speeds can be calculated using Figure 2-18 or the following relationships.

1.33 speed - multiply full speed torque by 1.778 .75 speed - multiply full speed torque by 0.563.50 speed - multiply full speed torque by 0.250.25 speed - multiply full speed torque by 0.063

At zero speed the torque is theoretically zero; but the motor must overcome rotating element inertia, bearingfriction and a static head load in order to start the pump shaft turning. This requires a torque at zero speedranging from 2 1/2 percent to 15 percent of the full load torque value.

T = (5250) (BHP)/rpm

SSyysstteemm HHeeaadd CCuurrvveeWhen a system determined operating pressure has been established, and flow requirements determined, thesystem head vs capacity can be modeled through the development of a system head curve. The head losseswithin a system will change based on the flow forced into it by pumping. The system head (Hspf) is typicallymade up of three components and is usually estimated from the pump discharge forward. The three componentsof Hspf are; (1) Static Head, (2) Pressure Head and (3) Friction Head, as illustrated in Figure 2-19 below.

The use of a system head curve is crucial for proper pump selection in various heating & cooling applications. Theconcept is particularly important, where system capacity requirements are highly variable (Q max > 1.30 Q avg and/ or Q min < .70 Q avg.). In such cases, multiple pumps are often used in parallel or are controlled through a variablefrequency drive (VFD). Pump selection is based on matching the system head curve, with the pump(s) H - Qperformance.

In developing the system curve, static (Hs) and pressure head (Hp) stay relatively constant, within the allowablesystems operating range. Hs and Hp do not change with flow and are independent of friction head (Hf). Hfthrough a piping system varies approximately with the square of the flow, making it only necessary to performdetailed Hf loss analysis / calculation once, at one flow rate. Friction loss approximations at other flow rates canbe made by applying the square law relationship.

In a typical closed loop heating or cooling system there are no static or pressure head components. In thesesystems the head loss around the piping loop depends only on the flow rate. The system curve defines the entirepiping circuit and the relationship between flow and head loss using a fluid at a given temperature.

PPaarraalllleell aanndd SSeerriieess OOppeerraattiioonnParallel Operation. When the pumped flow requirements are widely variable, it is often desirable to install severalsmall pumps in parallel rather than use a single large one. When the demand drops, one or more smaller pumpsmay be shut down, thus allowing the remainder to operate at or near peak efficiency. If a single pump is used ata lower demand, the discharge must be throttled to match the system curve - wasting energy if not controlled bya VFD. Multiple small pumps provide system flexibility and redundancy. The failure of one unit may cause aninconvenience but does not shut down the system. System maintenance and repair is made easier and does notcreate operational problems if performed during slack periods, when multiple pumps are installed in parallel orseries.

The action of centrifugal pumps operating in parallel can be predicted by the addition of their characteristiccurves. This relationship is true whether the curves are identical or not, and is illustrated in Figure 2-21.

SSeerriieess OOppeerraattiioonn.. Multiple pumps in series may be used when liquid must be delivered at high pressure. Seriesoperation is most commonly required when:

1) The system head requirements can not be met at the required capacity with a single unit

2) A system with adequate capacity has been expanded beyond the original pressure design constraints,requiring a boost in pressure to circulate water to their old and new piping at the desired flow rate foroptimum heat transfer.

MMiinniimmuumm FFllooww - TTeemmppeerraattuurree RRiisseeMMiinniimmuumm FFllooww LLiimmiittaattiioonn.. All centrifugal pumps have limitations on the minimum flow at which they should beoperated. Minimum flow problems typically develop as a result of excessive throttling and or improper sizing. Ingeneral, the head-capacity (H-Q) curve of a submersible pump has an inflection point between the bestefficiency point (BEP) and shut-off. Continuous operation of the pump between shut-off and the inflection pointwill result in erosion of the impeller because of recirculation flow . The minimum flow range is typicallyidentified in some manner on the manufacture r 's published H-Q performance curves.

The geometry of an impeller is designed for the flow capacity at BEP. When the flow rate is decreased below thedesign capacity, there is excess flow area between the impeller vanes and flow separation occurs. When the flowrate is reduced beyond the inflection point toward shut-off, eddy type flow patterns occur near the leading endof the impeller vanes and also near the exit end of the impeller vanes. This eddy type flow pattern ofrecirculation flow can cause severe erosion in the impeller.

MMiinniimmuumm FFllooww - TTeemmppeerraattuurree RRiissee ((CCoonntt..))The severity of the recirculation problem varies with several factors; (1) The higher the specific speed, the greaterthe recirculation, (2) The higher the design head for a given impeller diameter, the greater the recirculation and(3) The larger the impeller eye for a given design flow, the stronger the recirculation.

Pump damage as a result of continuous minimum flow operation may be noticeable within one to six months.The minimum capacity for operating a pump continuously without noticeable erosion in the impeller is calledthe minimum continuous flow of the pump. In the presence of liquids containing abrasive particles such assand, pump life can be reduced to weeks. The recirculation process allows for repeated abrasive attack on theimpeller by the same particles that would otherwise be discharged after one pass. In addition to erosion, otherproblems associated with operation below the minimum flow limit include: increased axial thrust, noise,vibration and temperature.

The minimum flow inflection point for a particular pump is derived from tests. Recirculation consideration aregenerally used to establish the minimum flow range for a given impeller design, although other issues such asdownthrust may dictate the actual minimum flow duty point. If prolonged operation in the minimum flowregion is anticipated, the manufacturer should be contacted for specific recommendations. The minimum flowpoint varies with square of the head and is directly proportional to flow.

Shut-off Operation (Closed Discharge Valve). Shut-off operation of centrifugal pumps is often necessary toprevent water hammer at start-up and or shut down in fixed speed applications. Short duration operation atshut-off (minutes) is normally permissible for pumps with low to medium specific speed impellers (Ns = 3500 orless).

Prolonged operation at shut-off head will result in rapid failure of pumping equipment. The failure mode is thesame as those cited for minimum flow, but accelerated.

Many small circulator pumps have no formal minimum flow or shut off limitations except for temperaturebuild-up considerations.

Minimum Flow Mitigation. Pumps are frequently selected for capacities sufficient to handle maximum oremergency requirements. In some cases, pump selection is based on future predicted flows or extremelyconservative friction head losses. When such criteria is used in the selection process and the pump(s) are run at afraction of the design rating, problems associated with minimum flow as a result of throttling are likely to occur.

Methods frequently employed to avoid throttling in single pump installations, where flow demands are highlyvariable, include by-pass installation or variable speed (frequency) control. Energy efficiency and operationalflexibility can be maximized through the use of multiple pumps and variable frequency control.

Temperature Rise (TR). Fluid temperature rise with a centrifugal pump can be calculated. Other than a smallamount of power lost in pump bearings and seals, the difference between the brake horsepower (BHp) andhydraulic horsepower (WHp) developed represents the power losses within the pump itself. These losses aretransferred to the liquid passing through the pump in the form of heat, causing a temperature rise (TRp) in theliquid.

The TRp can be calculated using one of the formulas listed below:

where; TTRRpp = Pump temperature rise in degrees F HH = Total head in ft.EEpp = Pump (bowl) efficiency @ duty pt.

(expressed as a decimal)QQ = Flow @ duty pt. in gpmUU = Specific heat of liquid in BTU/lb./F (1.0 for water)ssgg = Specific gravity (1.0 for water)* sg = 1.0 & U = 1.0

note; 1.0 Hp = 42.4 BTU/min.specific wt water = 8.34 lbs./gal

Discharge water temperatures are higher with wet rotor pumps, as the heat dissipated by the motor istransferred to the fluid which must pass through the pump for proper operation.

The heat transfer mode is primarily convection, actual TR will be somewhat less as a result of radiant heattransfer. The TR issue is generally not a significant application consideration in hot water applications. The heattransferred to the fluid is generally negligible when the pump is operated within its design range.

AAxxiiaall TThhrruusstt - MMaaxxiimmuumm FFlloowwGeneral. Standard centrifugal type pumps are subjected to axial forces which act in a direction parallel to thepump shaft. This force is the combination of the hydraulic thrust developed by the impeller and the dead weightof the rotating elements of the pump. The rotating element is generally only a small part of the axial load of thepump. Accurate determination of axial thrust is crucial in the selection of a motor, establishing internal impellerclearances and operating limits, and diagnosing pumptroubles.

The hydraulic thrust developed by an impeller consistsof downward and upward components (See Figure 2-23). The downward force is due to the unbalancedpressure forces across the eye area of the impeller.Counteracting this load is an upward force (suctionside) primarily due to the change in direction of theliquid passing through the impeller. The result of thesetwo forces constitutes hydraulic thrust. In the vastmajority of applications this thrust is in a downwarddirection. Axial thrust characteristics for a specificpump are generally provided by the manufacturer.Thrust data is normally based on a fluid specific gravity= 1.0.

Downthrust. As previously mentioned, most vertical pumping equipment operates in downthrust, which is thepreferred operational state. The impeller design is the chief factor in determining the pumps thrustcharacteristics. High specific speed (Ns) impellers will have higher downthrust characteristics than will lower Ns(radial) impellers. Under some circumstances, it is desirable to increase downthrust so that problems associatedwith up - thrust can be avoided when operating to the extreme right of a pump,s BEP flow. Downthrust loadingcan be increased through the use of high Ns or open impeller designs. The open, semi open impeller designvaries from standard (enclosed) designs in that there is no lower shroud or impeller skirt. Open impeller designscan increase thrust by as much as 50% over enclosed designs at the same rating. Pump downthrustrequirements over the anticipated operating range should be checked against a motor s capacity to handle thethrust load in high head applications.

Upthrust. In fixed speed applications where there is little or no opposition to flow in the form of a static headload, a flow condition known as run-out will occur at start-up and will persist until system counter pressure isestablished. Under run-out conditions, the pump is likely to be in upthrust. The upthrust condition is generally

momentary , lasting fractions of a second. The magnitude of the start-up upthrust is typically considered tobe approximately 30% of the downthrust value at the pumps BEP. In the case of pumps with suction (intake)pressure, and/or in-line series operation, there can be an additional upward force across the impeller at start-up.

Upthrust Mitigation. Momentary upthrust in circulator applications is mitigated through confinement of theimpellers and/or pump shaft from excessive upward movement. A low friction upthrust stop ring built into thepump to confine movement is typically used. Continuous upthrust can not be handled with an upthrust stopring alone, as they are not designed for continuous duty in standard products. Grundfos circulator pumps areequipped with upthrust discs for added protection.

Maximum Flow. Upthrust considerations are generally used to establish the maximum continuous flow range fora given impeller design, although other issues such as NPSHA may dictate the actual maximum flow duty point. Ifprolonged operation in the maximum flow region is anticipated, the manufacturer should be contacted forspecific recommendations. The maximum flow point varies with the square of the head and is directlyproportional to flow.

Cavitation. When the NPSH requirement (NPSHR) of the pump is not met by the NPSH available (NPSHA), thepump is likely to cavitate. Cavitation is a phenomenon which occurs when the pressure of a moving stream ofliquid is reduced to a value equal to or below its vapor pressure, boiling off the liquid. The vaporization of thefluid (water for the purposes of this discussion) in the vicinity of the impeller eye forms small pockets of freewater vapor (bubbles) which collapse as the liquid moves to a higher pressure zone within the pump. The

collapse of these vapor pockets is so rapid and violentthat the forces generated are large enough to causeminute pockets of fatigue failure, pitting metalsurfaces that are adjacent to the collapsingvapor/bubbles.

The effects of cavitation vary from mild to extreme.Under mild conditions, the pump may last for manyyears with only a slight reduction in efficiency and nonoticeable noise. Extreme cavitation will result in rapiddestruction of impellers and/or diffusers in the vicinityof attack (vane tips, etc.) and is normally accompaniedby audible (rattling) noise. In the extreme, the pumpmay lose its prime as a result of internal gas lock. Otherfactors associated with cavitation are reduced flow,erratic power consumption and surging.

2. Calculate NPSHA for the application and compare with the maximum NPSHR of the selected pump atmaximum flow point established in item 1 above. NPSHA must be greater than NPSHR to prevent cavitation.

Cost of Pumping using an Electric Motor. The term Efficiency as used in pumping would be of no practicalvalue if it could not be reduced to terms of actual pumping costs expressed in dollars. When the efficiency of thepump and motor is known, proportionate cost of power can be predetermined on a basis common to all pumps,regardless of size or capacity. By using units of capacity and head, comparisons can be made in pumps havingdifferent capacities.

Power cost of pumping varies inversely with overall plant efficiency (OPE). Thus, power cost per gallon for eachfoot head on a pump of 30% OPE, is double that of a pump of 60% OPE. (Assuming power rate the same in bothcases). In order to pump one gallon of water in one minute (1 gpm) against one foot head at 100% OPE, requires.000189 kilowatts. Pumping 1000 gpm per foot head at 100% OPE requires .189 kilowatts (kW).

Power Input (Kilowatts): No electric motor is 100% efficient in the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. Power input is determined by the following formula:

Pump BHP x 0.7457 Kilowatt input to the motor = Motor Efficiency

Example: Using the previous example, the motor for the pump has an efficiency of 85.5%, so the kilowatt input to the motor is: Armed with this information annual operating costs can be determined.

OPERATING COST: To determine annual operating cost of a pump use the following formula: Annual Operating Cost = KW input x hours of operation per year x energy cost Example: A pump requires 7.5KW at the operating point. The pump will run 6 hours per day, 360 days per year. The energy cost is 15 cents per kilowatt-hour. Annual Operating Cost = $2430.00 = 7.5 x (6 x 360) x 0.15 Some pumps like the Series UP and the VersaFlo®

UPS provide maximum input watts in the submittal data and/or on the pump nameplate. These values may be used to approximate the annual operating cost as a worst-case scenario.

NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head): NPSHR (Net Positive Suction Head Required): NPSHR is dependent upon the pump design and is determined by the pump manufacturer. NPSHR is an important value, which greatly contributes to the successful operation of a centrifugal pump. It is the amount of positive head in feed of liquid absolute required at the pump suction to prevent vaporization or cavitation of the fluid. NPSHR values usually vary with pump capacity and are based on clear water with a specific gravity of 1.0. NPSHA (Net Positive Suction Head Available):

NPSHA is dependent upon the system in which the pump operates. NPSHA is the amount of head or pressure that is available to prevent vaporization or cavitation of the fluid in the system. It is the amount of head available above the vapor pressure of the liquid at a specified temperature, and is measured in feet of liquid absolute. NPSHA vs. NPSHR Comparison: To prevent vaporization or cavitation of the liquid in the suction side of the pump and to ensure rated pump performance, NPSHA must be greater than or equal to the NPSHR plus a two foot safety margin. That is: NPSHA > NPSHR + 2 feet NPSHA Basic Equation: NPSHA = habs – hvpa • hst – hfs Where: habs is head absolute pressure and must be converted to feet hvpa is head vapor pressure and must be converted to feet hst is static head hfs is friction head AND habs = absolute pressure on the surface of the liquid supply level hvpa = vapor pressure of the liquid at the temperature being pumped hst = static height that the liquid supply level is above or below the centerline of the pump, + for above and – for below hfs = All suction line and friction losses thru pipe, valves and fittings NPSHA EQUATION (SIMPLIFIED) Since the head for absolute pressure and vapor pressure are normally given in PSI and then converted to FEET at the given water temperature it is useful to change the equation so that pressures may be input directly: Where: ps = Gauge pressure at the surface of the liquid (psig). If the system is an open tank this value (gauge pressure) will be 0 pa = Atmospheric pressure at the altitude of the system pv = Pressure vapor of the liquid at the temperature being pumped Example: A radiant system is located in a two story house 1500 feet above sea level. The fluid is a 50% ethylene glycol/water mixture at 140 0F. A pressure gauge on the second floor tubing reads 10 PSI and is 12 feet above the centerline of the pump. The design flow rate is 2 GPM thru ½” PEX tubing and there is 30 feet of return tubing from the surface of the liquid to the inlet of the pump. Determine the NPSHA:

(ps + pa • pv) x 144 NPSHA = Density of Fluid

All values not shown are captured in the pressure gauge reading itself. NPSHA = ( pi + pa – pv ) 144

D Where:

pi = Reading from pressure gauge mounted at pump inlet with pump running. pa = Atmospheric pressure at the altitude of the system

pv = Vapor pressure of water at operating temperature. D = Density of water at operating temperature.

Notes: 1. SAE Grade 5 or better fasteners are recommended for 150 - 300 lb. flange service.2. Steel flange configurations for attachment are slip-on, welding neck, socket weld or threaded. Flanges are

manufactured in a variety of mating faces, with the flat or raised face being the most common for water supplyservice.

3. Ductile Iron flange dimensions for 250 psi service are the same as steel for 150 psi service.4. ANSI flanges are available rated for 150,300, 400, 600, 900, 1500 and 2500 psi service. 5. Pressure ratings:

a. 250 psi DI flanges are continuously rated at 400 psi for cool water service (<100 F) in 12 and smaller sizes. b. 150 and 300 psi steel flanges have a continuously rating of 275 and 720 psi respectively for cool water service.

6. Flanged column pipe for suspended pump applications do not generally match ANSI standard in consideration ofspace and strength requirements.
