Dear Forum Members
My sea water pumps are cavitating!
Flow rate 2750 m3/hr each.
Delivery pressure 1.8 barg
Suction pipe 500 mm.
Pump inlet nozzle 400 mm.
There is a lot of turbulence in the suction pit of each pump. The 500 mm
suction consists of a long radius bend.
Is there some thing I can modify in the suction to reduce the turbulence?
