PUMP PERFORMANCE

EVALUATION AND
FACTORS AFFECTING
PERFOMANCE
PUMP PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS
HEAD EFFICIENCY
FLOW RATE NET POSITIVE
POWER INPUT SUCTION HEAD
(NPSH)
HEAD
It represents the height to which the pump can raise the
fluid, and it is typically measured in meters (or feet) of
liquid. Head is a more convenient measure than pressure for
fluids like water because it is independent of the fluid’s
properties (density, etc.)
FLOW RATE
The flow rate refers to the volume of fluid that the pump
moves through the system over a specific period. It is
usually measured in units such as gallons per minute (GPM),
cubic meters per hour (m³/h), or liters per second (L/s). The
flow rate is one of the most important parameters in
determining how well a pump performs and is a key factor in
assessing whether the pump meets the system's
requirements.

PERFORMANCE CURVE
POWER INPUT
power input refers to the amount of energy supplied to the
pump to move fluid through a system. It is typically
measured in units such as kilowatts (kW) or horsepower
(HP).

EFFICIENCY
refers to the effectiveness with which a pump converts the
input power (energy supplied to the pump) into useful
hydraulic energy (the energy used to move the fluid).
NET POSITIVE SUCTION HEAD (NPSH)
it is critical concept in pump performance that represents
the pressure available at the pump's suction side to avoid
cavitation. NPSH is used to ensure that the pressure in the
liquid entering the pump stays high enough to prevent the
liquid from vaporizing, which would otherwise lead to the
formation of vapor bubbles and cavitation.
FACTORS AFFECTING PUMP PERFORMANCE
a. Flow rate - Operating the pump at higher or lower than its design
flow rate can reduce efficiency and increase wear on components.

b. Head - If the head is too high, the pump may struggle, while if it's
too low, the pump could operate inefficiently or fail to achieve the
desired flow rate.

c. NPSH - If the NPSH Available is less than the NPSH Required by the
pump, cavitation occurs, causing noise, vibration, and damage to the
pump’s impeller, which reduces performance and can lead to pump
failure.
FACTORS AFFECTING PUMP PERFORMANCE
d. Fluid properties - different fluid requires different pump
performance parameters to pump.

e. Pipe size configuration- friction between the fluid and the walls of
the pipes, fittings, and valves causes pressure drops.

f. NPSH - If the NPSH Available is less than the NPSH Required by the
pump, cavitation occurs, causing noise, vibration, and damage to the
pump’s impeller, which reduces performance and can lead to pump
failure.
FACTORS AFFECTING PUMP PERFORMANCE
g. Impeller diameter - A larger impeller generally increases head and
flow rate, but also increases power consumption. Conversely,
trimming the impeller can reduce both head and flow rate.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PUMPS, THEIR
PARTS, AND
FUNCTIONS.
PUMPS
A pump is a mechanical device used to move fluids (liquids or gases)
by converting mechanical energy from a source, such as a motor, into
hydraulic energy.
TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF PUMP
DYNAMIC PUMP
A dynamic pump is a type of pump that moves fluid by adding kinetic
energy to it through the use of a rotating part, typically an impeller.

POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP


A positive displacement pump is a type of pump that moves fluid by
trapping a fixed amount of liquid and forcing it into the discharge
pipe.
