Re: Pump Commissioning

Sudha,

   Motor RPM is 1750 and 50hp,
   Old impeller size is 10.375 inches the new is 11 inches.    Yes, their is a flowmeter after the valve.

    I reviewed the plan and found the problem, their is one more valve that is in close position. But another question arises the discharge pressure drops to 28 psi and the suction pressure is 13 psi, means the head the drops instead of increasing.

   Regards,

   Rommel

Do you have a flow meter after the valve?

Dear All,

   I have commissioned a centrifugal pump months ago and here are the pump name plate 75ft TDH and 2000 gpm. The commissioning result are the following:

   Suction pressure: 13 psi
   Valve Shut Discharge pressure: 54 psi    Actual Impeller Diameter Base on submitted Pump Curve is: 10.2 inches (base on the data gathered by valve shut delta pressure)

   Final Discharge pressure: 39 psi @ 2000gpm or 60 ft TDH only (valve already adjusted to meet 2000 gpm requirement)

   The problem is the pump did not meet its 75 ft. TDH, I contacted the supplier and opted to increase the impeller diameter.

   Now when the new impeller was installed, I gathered the following:

   Suction Pressure: 13 psi
   Valve shut Discharge pressure: 56 psi    When we open the discharge valve the pressure is still the same (56 psi), pressure gauge is calibrated and valve is functioning well. For me the pressure should lower down to its operating limit prior to adjusting of valve base on flow requirement. What seems to be the problem please enlighten me. By the way the fluid is water.
