Centrifugal Pump Suction vs discharge nozzle
Centrifugal Pump Suction vs discharge nozzle
(OP)
Hello,
I came across a centrifugal pump with suction nozzle and discharge nozzle having the same size (12 in each), I know that for centrifugal pumps, suction nozzle is usually smaller the discharge one.
For what purpose does pump constructor go to such design ?
Thank you in advance

Actually, this pump will be installed on an existing pipes, would it be safe to say that supplying a pump with such design is not unconventional ?
This pump will be discharging water from a water pit into a sand filter in a water treatment plant (Head = 9 m)

In some applications, the suction nozzle and the discharge nozzle may be the same size. There are a number of pump manufacturers that offer horizontal spilt case pumps with the same size on both discharge and suction. Vertical turbine pumps may have the same size suction as the discharge.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

I am new to the world of pumps and it was an odd thing to me, so I wanted to share with you.
