Advantages and disadvantages of Sogevac Bi Series pump parts
by Vacuum Pump Parts Kits and Services Vacuum Pump Parts,Kits and ServicesWhat shall you do when the necessary
head for a system is beyond the capabilities of just one standard pump? You can
replace the pump with a bigger, heavy duty pump. But that comes with a lot of
extra cost. Perhaps adding another pump in a series will get you the
performance you need. In this article, we’ll discuss the advantages of series
pumping.
What is Series Pumping?
Series pumping is a pump
configuration used to overcome a high static discharge or long piping lengths
with high friction losses. When centrifugal pumps are connected in a line, head
increases from one pump to the next, which in turn increases fluid pressure as
well. A multi-stage pump, such as vertical turbine, does essentially the same
thing.
When two of the similar pumps are in
series, the combined performance will have double the head of a single pump for
the flow rate.
Advantages
of Sogevac Bi Series pump parts
Series pumps generally require less
horsepower than one large pump having the same condition point. Usually in most
cases, a higher efficiency point is achieved. Centrifugal pumps in series works
at lower speeds. This, in and of itself, has additional benefits:
● Reduced wear
● Lower energy consumption
● Increased reliability and longer
life
● Pumps are smaller
● easier to maintain,
● more manageable
● Have a larger centrifugal pump.
Disadvantages
of Series Pumping
There are also some disadvantages to
series pumping. More equipment is required. You will need more pumps, motors,
motor starters, circuit breakers, and drives. You need to be careful not to
exceed the maximum working pressure of the pumps. This over-pressurization could damage the
pump assembly. All that additional
equipment takes up more floor space as well, but given the advantages above,
it’s likely the advantages will offset the disadvantages.
If you have pumps that are
struggling to meet high head requirements, adding a Sogevac Bi Series pump parts might be right for you. Be sure to
consult an engineer before doing that. If you want to know
