Why is the suction line of a pump larger than the discharge line?

It is common practice to specify the pump suction line one size larger than the pump discharge line in order to increase the Net Positive Suction Head available (NPSHA) to the pump. A smaller suction line the same pipe size as the discharge line would result in more pressure drop in the suction line and reduce the amount of head available to the suction side of the pump. This in turn would result in an operating point closer to cavitation of the pump.

Where must a suction - line drier be placed in a heat pump after a motor burnout?

Between compressor suction and reversing valve,also called true suction.

Why is used the balancing line in boiler feed pump and its direction of flow?

In boiler feed pumps usually the discharge pressure is 20 to 30 times tie suction Pressure so to protect the pump balancing line is given from discharge to suction.


Why there is Sever cavitation sound at the pump suction for the A pump while there is no problem at the B pump which is operating in parallel with this pump.?

this is overhang centrifugal pump . the suction drum level , suction strainer and suction pipings were all checked and found OK

What is the maximum horizontal distance allowed in suction line of a pump which is above the water level?

The maximum distance will be relative to the efficiency of the pump and the rated flow of the pump vs the size of the suction hose. The more efficient the pump, the more vacuum it can draw, and the larger the suction hose in relation to the flow rating of the pump the farther you can move the pump away from the water. The manufacturer of the pump will have charts that will help you properly size and set up your pump for optimum performance.

What is the difference between suction lift and suction head?

Suction lift is only negative. Suction head is positive or negative.Suction head is the distance between the surface of the liquid being pumped and the centerline of the pump. It can be positive or negative, and it can be affected by pressure or vacuum on the surface of the fluid. A negative suction head is also called suction lift.Example 1: A D/A under 15 psig is set 20 feet above the feed pump the effective suction head is 54 feet. (15 psig is equivalent to 34 feet of water).Example 2: A Condenser hotwell under 28 inches of vacuum (Hg) is set 16 feet above the suction of a propeller pump. The effective suction head (lift) is -15 feet.* (28"Hg = - 31 feet of water)Example 3: A sump pump is set 4 feet below the surface of the well. The effective suction head is 4 feet.*Note: Suction lift is only effective to a maximum of 21 feet, and 15 feet for hot water depending on temperature and pump slip.


How do you remove air from well water line?

If everything is functioning as it should the pump should push all the air out of the system. If there is consistently air in the system it is probably seeping in on the suction side of your pump, which will shorten the life of your pump. Check your suction line for leaks.
