Re: Centrifugal Pump Problem
Dear betti,
The problem seems to be an obvious one.
The diesel engine drive has enough power for the full pressure- and flow range under which that centrifugal pump is operating.
And the electric motor drive has not enough power for the full pressure- and flow range under which that centrifugal pump is operating.
When you open branches in the system, the system resistance decreases and therefore the flow increases.
The combination resistance pressure times flow determines the required drive power.
If the flow increases more than the pressure decreases, the required power increases.
Most likely, the electric motor cannot deliver that increased power demand.
Examine the flow-pressure- power curves of the pump and compare these curves with the curves of the e-motor.
Probably, you need a bigger e-motor.

Re: Centrifugal Pump Problem
A centrifugal pump increases the speed of a liquid in a pipe system by using a rotating impeller. An impeller is built inside the pump itself and is responsible for moving the liquid into the pump. ■

Centrifugal Pump Problem
Dear All
We have incountered a new strange problem in our site. we have two similar centrifugal pump for pumping water(according to the lable: capacity=360MCH, RPM=1500, H=110M, INLET=10", OUTLET=8") that one of them is coupled to an engine and doesn't have any problem and another is coupled to an electrical motor, in this case when we open a lot of branches, the electrical motor will trip (whiles we expect decreasing the flow not motor tripping ) and if we close half of the pump inlet valve, the tripping problem doesn't occer. Our electrical maintenance group has reported us that there is no problem in electrical motor.
It will be appreciated if anybody help us to troubleshoot.
thank you
