Operating Rotodynamic Pumps Away from Design Conditions (The Europump Guides to Advanced Pumping Technology, No. 3)

Operating rotodynamic pumps outside the flow regimes they were designed to work at may have serious consequences for the systems, affecting pump efficiency, total head, power input and required net positive suction head (NPSH). These phenomena also generate unsteady flow conditions causing stalling, turbulence and pressure fluctuations.

Based on the combines experience of Europe's leading pump manufacturers, this booklet provides both users and planners of pumping systems with a better understanding of the various phenomena that are associated with operating rotodynamic pumps outside their designed range.

This is the third book in the series of The Europump Guides to Advanced Pumping Technology:

No 1 - NPSH for Rotodynamic Pumps ISBN 1856173569

No 2 - Attainable Efficiencies of Volute Casing Pumps ISBN 1856173577

Published in association with World Pumps magazine, the leading international journal for pump users.
