Figure 6.5-1 Recommendations for pipework layout
The pump is
NOT
self-priming, which means that the pump case must be full of liquid
before the pump is started. Additionally, take note of the following (see also Figure 6.5-1):
•
Sump bottom should have an angle of 45º. Fast settling particles may require up to
60º.
•
Sump feed (h) should be below the sump liquid surface to avoid air entrainment.
Allowing the pump to draw air will drastically reduce the useful life of the hydraulic
parts.
•
Sump volume should be as small as possible. Slurry
‘Retention Time’
is the relevant
parameter for determining the size of the sump. It ranges between 15 seconds and 2
minutes for slurries containing coarse particles and fine particles, respectively.
•
Separate sumps are preferred for standby pump installations. This will avoid settling
out in the standby pump when not in use.
•
For slurry applications, ensure a steady, uniform feed to the pump, where practicable.
•
Install the pump as close as possible to the sump.
•
Keep the length of suction pipe and the number of bends in the pipework to the
minimum practicable. Use reinforced flexi-pipes (F) to connect to inlet and outlet.
NOTE
:
INLET PIPE SHOULD
,
HOWEVER
,
HAVE A STRAIGHT LENGTH
(
L
),
AT LEAST
, 4
TIMES ITS
DIAMETER TO ENSURE FAVOURABLE FLOW CONDITIONS INTO THE PUMP
.
IF A VALVE
(
S
)
IS
FITTED ON THE INLET SIDE
,
IT MUST BE FULLY OPEN WHEN THE PUMP IS RUNNING AND
SHOULD HAVE A STRAIGHT FLOW PATH OF THE SAME AREA AS THE CONNECTED PIPE
.
SUCTION PIPES WHICH ARE LONGER THAN
10
TIMES THE DIAMETER SHOULD BE AVOIDED
.
•
Sump level (H) should be 6 times pump inlet diameter (D) when measured from the
centre line of pump.
•
The diameter of the inlet pipe should be the same as, or larger than, the pump inlet
diameter.
