Double Suction BB1 pumps vs Flush Plan 13
Double Suction BB1 pumps vs Flush Plan 13
(OP)
I am working with a Double Suction BB1 pumps with Flush Plan 13
As I suppose, one of the successful requirement for plan 13 is that the Stuffing Box Pressures is higher than the sunction pressure.
For double suction pumps, is that met?
Anyone knows how to calculate/estimate the Stuffing Box Pressure?
Thanks

Review the cross-sectional drawing of the pump and it should be obvious and apparent why the seal chamber pressure can be no higher than suction.

What's the pros/cons for 14 compared to 11 in this application (BB1 double suction pump)?
The vendor recommended not to use 14 but 11.
