Optimization of the Pumping Capacity of Centrifugal Pumps Based on System Analysis

The pumping capacity is the maximum flow rate through a pump at its design capacity. In the process of pumping water and other fluids, pumping capacity is required to accurately size pumping systems, determine friction head losses, construct a system curve and select a pump and motor. Failure to cho...

description	The pumping capacity is the maximum flow rate through a pump at its design capacity. In the process of pumping water and other fluids, pumping capacity is required to accurately size pumping systems, determine friction head losses, construct a system curve and select a pump and motor. Failure to choose the right pump size for pumping system, improper installation and pump operation results into higher consumption of energy. The insufficient pumping capacity affects the plant’s operations such as maintenance cost, downtime, loss of production and increase in operating cost. In this study variation of the impeller diameter is used to calculate the new pump curve to improve the pumping capacity. The pumping system is analysed to determine the pumping capacity of the pump. Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations are carried out to determine the performance of the pump and analyses the pumping system to achieve the pumping capacity.
