What NPSH stands for and its meaning?
Net Positive Suction Head. It is the difference between hydraulic pressure and vapor pressure, usually of concern at the inlet of a pump. Without sufficienty high NPSH at a pump inlet, there will be cavitation in the pump. Within a centrifugal pump there can be pressures lower than at the inlet as the fluid is moved by the impeller. If any of those pressures is lower than the vapor pressure, vapor pockets- bubbles- form and you get cavitation. A more complete explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPSH
What causes high head pressure and normal suction pressure in a air conditioner?
non condensebles in system dirty cond coil high ambient poss over charge
What is the negative suction head of the pump?
it occurs when surface of water is below the level of pumping unit
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.
Can pump discharge head be negative?
When a pump is pumping water from a level that is below the pump it is called suction head. If the water to be pumped is at a level above the pump, it is positive head. The pump maybe pumping from the base of a tank to a higher level such as an elevated tank or it may be pulling water from a tank that is below the pump. The distance from the center of the pump to the top of the water level would be the foot of head. It takes 2.31 feet to make 1 P.S.I. So if it is 10 feet from the center line of the pump to the water level, you would have about 4.33 P.S.I. of head.
What are the pressures readings for 134a on a cooler?
22 to 23 suction 125 to 150 on head
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rise?
If the suction pressure rises, the head pressure will also increase to match the rise. This is because the compressor will work harder to maintain the balance between the two pressures to ensure proper operation of the refrigeration system. A significant increase in the head pressure could lead to compressor overload or system inefficiency.
Why would your air conditioner have a normal suction pressure and low head pressure with a 14 degree temperature difference?
What type of low head pressure are we talking about? List the pressures and refrigerant type along with the indoor and outdoor conditions at the time the pressures were observed and we can be of more help. I've done a few new installs lately. residential splits, r22 and normal conditions say 80 degrees and not humid. when charging the units i was getting a good suction pressure, around 68-70psi, the suction line was coming back nice a cold and the liquid line was warm. but for some reason i was getting a super low head pressure, around 150-175psi. any ideas cause im at a loss. i did everything right and the systems were even running great. any help would be appreciated. if the indoor space was warm that wouldn't drop my head pressure right, i thought it would be high
Do octopus have suction cups on their tenticals?
No, they don't have suction on their head
Why would your air conditioner have normal head pressure and a low suction pressure?
There is no such thing as normal head pressure. It is all based on temperature and calculations. Need to know indoor air temp, outdoor air temp, wet bulb versus dry bulb. Need to know specifics. so when outside ambient temp is 90 and I'm running 255 head with a clean condenser. that isn't normail head pressure? that's pretty normal to me. working with r22 the correct answer would be. If you are sure your head pressure is where it should be, with correct freon type. low suction pressure can be caused by no blower motor, closed or blocked registers, clogged filter or evaporator, lack of airflow, undersized evaperator or oversized AC, restricted metering device(TXV, piston) blocked returns. but he is right you need a lot more info what's your superheat/subcooling? what's your delta T, is you head pressure really wre it should be? what's changed since this started happening. How low issuction pressure what's your evap saturation temp? is coil freezin up? what are your pressures exactly is condenser temp 30 degrees warmer than outside temp. with r22. do you know what you are doing????
What would cause a radiator to have suction in it while running?
Cracked head or leaking gasket. The suction is created on the downward stroke of piston during intake stroke.
What does it mean when your suction head is too high and your pump is not pumping water?
suction head is calculated wiht the formula head = 2.31 x psi so if your suction is 30psi then your head is around 60ft. of head. If your suction head is to high then there is not enough water to pump the needed psi for the task
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.
How do you head suction in office jerk?
Throw the plunger on the top of his head!
A refrigerator with a freon restriction would have what symptoms?
High head pressure; low suction pressure; overheated compressor
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.
