    Cost of the Sundyne LMV-322 pump

    Who knows roughly the price of the Sundyne LMV-322 pump? Flow is 70 gpm, head is 1700 ft, Fluid is diesel, and motor horsepower is 60 hp.

    Suction throttling vs discharge throttling

    Anyone can tell me the difference of suction throttling and discharge throttling? In the centrifulg compressor, what does them really mean? In API-617 compressor datasheet 1st page, suction throttling from ? pisa to ? pisa is a process control method you can chose, what are these two pressures...

    Minimum recommended motor power rating

    When sizing an appropriate motor, although API-610 10Ed 6.1.3 using table 11 indicates that motor power rating as a percentage of the rated pump power, looks like the vendors don't follow API instead of using the pump max power at max impeller diameter as the number to determine minimum motor...

    Set point of the minimum flow by-pass valve

    We have pump datasheet from the vendor that shows the minimum flow (MCSF)is 21m3/hr, while on the pump vendor IOM manual the set point of the minimum flow for the by-pass valve controller is 34m3/hr, which is 40% of the pump rated flow. My question is: how to determine the set-point for this...

    Pump is operating at normal flow or rated?

    I have a pump with rated flow is 338m3/hr, normal flow is 270m3/hr, BEP is 342m3/hr. Normal flow is 80% of BEP flow, which is clos to the manufacture recommended operating region lower limit but with a lower efficiency than BEP. Rated flow is 98.7% of BEP. I am wondering in the field at most...

    Compressor start up from settle-out pressure using VFD

    Recently we had a big problem with a large compressor (27MW)start up using VFD. The issue is that the vendor sized VFD capacity is too small to start the centrifugal compressor from settle-out pressure. Several options were proposed including: 1. Change to a larger VFD, which means a...

    How to calculate compressor discharge temperature by hand?

    Hi, I came across a problem when calculating the compressor discharge temperature. When using the GPSA databook to calculate a single stage centrifugal compressor discharge temperature, the result is much higher than that we gained using the simulation software ProII or a compressor sizing...
