Summary
This webinar will provide an overview of some of the most common “pump killers,” including the fundamentals behind the problem and what can be done to improve operation. Focus areas include NPSH and cavitation, the effect of operating at low flows, and abrasion and erosion. Each failure mode will be reviewed with an eye to improving reliability and saving energy. A case study will provide practical application of the material as it highlights a project that improved pump performance, reduced energy usage, and obtained reliable operation for a “bad actor” cooling water pump at a chemical plant.
