Suction strainers offer front-line fluid filtration in the tank, used to prevent large particles of sediment, sewage, mud, or solids from entering suction port of drainage pumps.

What happens if suction strainer is choked in centrifugal pump?

kwh consumption of the driver of the pump will increase.


Comparration diameter size of suction and discharge?

The diameter of the discharge line leaving the ac compressor would be smaller than the suction line, because the compressed gas in the discharge line is more dense.


Where is suction and discharge s?

Answer: The terms suction and discharge are the terms refer to hydraulics. In hydraulics if the the liquid has to be lifted or pumped to the usage area the hydraulic pump will be used . This pump will have to functions that is first suction to lift the fluid and the discharge or delivery . The familiar words in pair are lift and discharge; suction and discharge. The specification of pump for these terms are suction head and discharge head.AnswerThe suction pressure refers to the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor. The suction pressure is a critical variable in ensuring the accuracy of the refrigerant charge, along with the tepmerature of that line as well. The "superheat", or heat added to the vapor in that line can be monitored in this manner.You have not mention which suction pressure... Actually Where ever the suction is presented that pressure is called suction pressure.... and suction pressure in practical cases normally always less that atmospheric pressure and in case of delivery pressure it is oppositeSaying that suction pressure is " the pressure of the referigerant being "sucked" back into the compressor " is not accurate.Simply , the suction pressure of a pump is the absolute pressure of a fluid , measured at the inlet of the pump ( in your answer , the pump is the compressor , and the fluid is whatever refrigerant. )The discharge pressure , is the absolute pressure of the liquid measured at the outlet of the pump.Obviously, the discharge pressure is usually bigger than suction pressure.


Is the suction line the high side?

No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.


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 definition of reciprocating pump?

a pump consisting of a piston that moves back and forth or up and down in a cylinder. The cylinder is equipped with inlet (suction) and outlet( discharge) valves. On the intake stroke, the suction valves are opened, and fluid is drawn into the cylinder. On the discharge stroke, the suction valves close, the discharge valves open, and fluid is forced out of the cylinder.


Is the suction line the high side?

No, the liquid (discharge) line is the high pressure side. The suction line is the low pressure side.


What effects appear if you reduce the diameter of impeller?

Suction head will decrease Delivery head will decrease. Discharge will increase at low suction and delivery head. discharge stagnate at low head than rated head.
