Most typically it is due to an obstruction in the discharge piping, or air collecting in the top of the pump. Less obvious would be interstage seal leakage, casing leakage, low pressure seal leakage or suction line air induction. Or if a cross connected labyrinth ring is used in the stuffing box this line could have gotten plugged, allowing air to seep in. Improperly positioned suction head could also reduce output, for hot feedwater applications, a D/A or feed tank should be positioned to maintain a positive pressure sufficient enough to prevent steam flashing in the eye of the pump. Seal rings on the impellers could be worn as well.
Check to make sure the suction and discharge valves are fully open, calculate the suction head and compare it to the needed suction head to prevent steam flashing, (Pressure/temperature columns in the steam tables). For instance a 250 F water temperature requires a suction head of, at least, +80 feet ( 20 psig) to prevent flashing. If the suction pressure is too low, increase it or cool the water to a reasonable temperature.
Open the casing vent slowly to expel any air in the pump. If this doesn't work, check for leakage or damaged pump parts, this may require disassembly.

Most centrifugal chillers require a constant water flow, therefore a VFD would not be of any use.
speed
Centrifugal pumps generally obey what are known as the pump laws. These laws state that the flow rate or capacity is directly proportional to the pump speed; the discharge head is directly proportional to the square of the pump speed; and the power required by the pump motor is directly proportional to the cube of the pump speed.
centrifugal pump is that machine which converts the mechanical energy into pressure energy . 1. it produces th pressure energy by applying the centrifugal force. 2. flow in it is radial outward direction. 3.the pressure head at the outlet is more than the at inlet, so fluid can be lifted to very high .level 4.in case of centrifugal pump, discharge is proportional to speed in r.p.m power is proportional to ( speed in r.p.m)^3 head is proportional to ( speed in r. p.m)^2 5. it is subjected to cavitation.
Axial flow LVADs have a propeller-like rotor that spins along the device's long axis to propel blood forward, while centrifugal flow LVADs use a rotating impeller to draw blood into the device and then expel it outward. Centrifugal flow LVADs are generally more compact and have fewer moving parts compared to axial flow LVADs.
rotational
An inertia governor is a device used to regulate the speed of an engine by controlling the fuel or air flow. It works by adjusting the position of the throttle or fuel metering valve in response to changes in engine speed. As the engine speed increases or decreases, the governor uses centrifugal force to actuate the throttle, maintaining a steady speed.
A positive displacement pump causes a fluid to move by trapping a fixed amount of it then forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the discharge pipe. Centrifugal pumps impart pressure to the fluid, to cause a pressure differential and cause flow, but even if the outlet is sealed, the pump can continue to run because it hasn't trapped the fluid. When no flow is occurring, a centrifugal pump acts like a propeller spinning in the water. If flow is stopped on a line that a positive displacement pump is supplying flow to, the pump is forced to stop since the trapped fluid prevents it from moving any more fluid.
The centrifugal flow compressor has a single or two stage unit using an impeller. The axial flow compressor is a multi-stage unit using alternate rows of rotating (rotor) blades and stationary (stator) vanes.
the frontal area of a centrifugal compresor is more as compared to axial flow compressor for a given air flow. And for this reason axial compressors are being used in aircraft engines.
Impeller make the flow has velocity in a centrifugal pump. The purpose of pump is increasing the pressure. The flow has velocity envergy via impeller and the energy change to pressure energy in diffuser.
