MAX DISCHARGE PRESSURE
MAX DISCHARGE PRESSURE
(OP)
Operating conditions:
product: gas oil
Phase: Liquid
Max Suction operating pressure: 2.4 bar G
Average operating pressure. 6 to 7bar
Max discharge pressure ( closed valve): 19 barG
Characteristics:
required total Dynamic head: 80 m
What is the working pressure or differencial pressure ? 6 to 7 bar. or 19 bar ?
thanks in advance

RE: MAX DISCHARGE PRESSURE
You will have to design downstream piping for the shutoff head to be safe, because if the downstream pipeline outlet is closed, or clogged, you may expect to have 2.4 + 19 = 21.4 barg total discharge head at shutoff, assuming that the 19 BAR is actually a pump differential head. Note: You do NOT read discharge head off a pump curve, if that is where you got it. If 19 BARG is a measured gage head at discharge, then it already presumedly includes the 2.4 suction pressure and the pump differential head added is 16.6 BARS to get a total of 19 Barg at shutoff. If you want to design the downstream pipeline for less pressure, say 2.4 + 2 barg or so, say 5 Barg total, you will need that pressure control valve and a relief valve with set pressure equal to 5 Barg to do that safely.
So, design pressure without the control valve should be either 19 Barg, or 21.4 Barg, depending on if the 19 is a gauge pressure or a differential pressure.

So back to 9.4 Barg, or 19, or 21.4.
Without the pressure control and relief valve to cut that shutoff pressure to 10 Barg, you'd still have to design your pipe for the same 19, or is it 21.4. Barg to be safe.

RE: MAX DISCHARGE PRESSURE
Well so if try to do this job with a volumetric pump , I would have to set the pump internal safety valve 19 or 21.4 barg.
Is it right?
Diferencial pressure will be 19 or 21.4 barg , ok??
thank you very much.
