Pump Selection Example

The document provides specifications for selecting a pump for a desalination plant application. It details the flow rate, head pressure, suction pressure, fluid properties, pipe dimensions and calculations to determine the total dynamic head of 31.89 m. Based on meeting the flow of 75 m3/hr and head requirement, several potential axial split casing pump models from the UP series are recommended, including the UP 80/38, UP 80/30, UP 100/30 and UP 100/38 pumps.

PUMP SELECTION REVISED:

1. Application Parameters (search parameters)


Sectorwise
1. Sector : Water resource management
2. Sub sector: Desalination
3. Pump Type: Axially split casing pump
4. Application: Power Plants
5. Series name: Horizontal axial split casing pumps UP series
2. Units
1. English / Metric

3. Knowns:

Flow: 75 m3/hr

Head: 31.89 m

NPSHa: 13.46 m

4. Fluid properties:

Fluid: water

Temperature: 60 0 C

Viscosity: 0.475 (m2/s) x 10-6

Specific gravity: 0.983

Density: 983.2 Kg/ m3

Vapor pressure: 2.034 meter

Atmospheric pressure: 10.33 m

Gauge inlet pressure: nil

5. Pipe Data:

Inlet pipe dia: 0.150 m

Outlet pipe dia: 0.150 m

Inlet Pipe length: 13 m

Outlet pipe length: 12 m


Inlet Velocity (V1): 1.179 m/s (pipe diameter calculator; Global spec engineering toolbar)

Outlet Velocity (V2): 0.6631 m/s (pipe diameter calculator; Global spec engineering toolbar)

Frictional factor: 0.015 (friction factor table for different pipe sizes)

6. Calculations

1. Suction head:

1. Inlet friction head=[ .015 * 13 * ( 1.179)2] / [ .150 * 2 * 9.81 ]

= 0.0921 m

2. Inlet equipment lose= 0 ( consider no equipments are connected in line)

3. Static suction lift = 5 m ( flooded suction )

4. Atmospheric head= 10.33 m

5. Gauge inlet pressure= nil

Total suction head = inlet friction head + Inlet equipment lose + Static suction lift + Atmospheric-
-head +Gauge inlet pressure+ ( (inlet velocity) 2/2g)

= 0.0921+0+5+10.33+0+((1.179)2/2*9.81)

= 15.49 m

2. Discharge head:

1. Discharge friction head = [ .015 * 12 * ( 0.6631)2] / [ .200 * 2 * 9.81 ]

= 0.0637 m

2. Outlet equipment lose= 0 ( consider no equipments are connected in line)

3. Static discharge lift = 6 m

4. Atmospheric head= 10.33 m

5. Gauge outlet pressure= nil

Total discharge head = outlet friction head + outlet equipment lose + Static discharge lift +
Atmospheric head +gauge outlet pressure+ ( (outlet velocity) 2/2g)

= 0.0637+o+6+10.33+0+ ((0.6631)2/2*9.81)

= 16.40 m
3. Total Dynamic head(Pump Head):

Total head = suction head + discharge head

= 15.49 + 16.40

= 31.89 m

4. NPSHa = Total suction head – vapour pressure of fluid

= 15.49 – 2.034

= 13.46 m

7. Pump CharacteristicsSpecifications (Do not include as of now)


1. Construction
2. Angle between inlet and outlet
8. Power Considerations
1. Power Source:
2. Speed : 1450/1150 RPM
3. Frequency[50/60 Hz] – As discussed, this will change the pump characteristics therefore
has to be considered for pump selection.:50/60 Hz
4. Motor Standards (If applicable) specifications – Hazardous area classification if
applicable
9. Pump standard:
1. IEC/ NEMA

10. PUMP Selection:

1. UP 80/38 (metric pumps) at 1450 RPM @ 50 Hz

4. UP 100/38 (metric pumps) at 1450 RPM @ 50 Hz

5. UP 80/38 (metric pumps) at 1150 RPM @ 60 Hz

6. UP 100/35 (metric pumps) at 1150 RPM @ 60 Hz
