PUMP SIZING
PUMP SIZING
(OP)
Hello,
If a pump is transferring water let says from discharging section of the pump to vessel at 100 Meters vertical and the same pump is transferring water from same point but to a vessel at 100 Meters horizontal. Could there be any change in the pump head since the distance from the pump is the same but their position is 90 degrees apart

RE: PUMP SIZING
If the pipe size and flowrate are the same and the horizontal end pressure is the same as the vertical end pressure then the pumps discharge head will change because there is more energy required to lift the water the 100m.
