A pump discharge line is the piping system that transports the fluid from the outlet of a pump to the intended destination, such as a storage tank, process equipment, or distribution system. It is designed to handle the pressure and flow generated by the pump, ensuring efficient and safe movement of the fluid. Proper sizing and material selection for the discharge line are critical to prevent issues like pressure loss, leaks, or system failure. Additionally, fittings and valves may be included in the discharge line to control flow and facilitate maintenance.
The pipe coming off of sump pump that goes outside or if allowable, a drain 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.
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.
A sump pump discharge line should run as far from the foundation walls as possible.
the above was the answer the gas line inside the tank had come off even though the crimping clamp was still on it This was the line from pump discharge to the filter
yes, unless local codes prohibit it.
Possibly the impeller needs cleaning or a blockage in the line
The best way to prevent freezing in a sump pump discharge line during winter is to insulate the pipe with foam insulation or heat tape to keep it warm and prevent ice from forming.
The only true discharge line on a heat pump is located on the compressor. This line carries the high-pressure refrigerant gas that has been compressed by the compressor and is then directed towards the condenser. It's important to distinguish this from the suction line, which carries the low-pressure refrigerant back to the compressor. Proper identification of these lines is crucial for maintenance and troubleshooting.
Shutting the fluid discharge of an air-operated reciprocating pump will cause the pump to experience increased pressure in the discharge line. This can lead to a condition called deadheading, where the pump continues to operate but has no flow, potentially causing damage to the pump or its components due to overheating or excessive pressure buildup. To prevent damage, it is essential to have safety mechanisms or pressure relief systems in place.
Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.Yes, the discharge line from the compressor can be hot.
cavitation formed wen concentric reducer in used. but wat is the use of reducer in the both suction and discharge side of the pump. if we dost use (conc & ecc) reducer in the both sides.. there is not effect on pump
