A pump was installed which takes suction out of the existing cooling tower sump. A civil channel was created to supply water to the pump sump from where the vertically installed centrifugal pump takes suction. The pump is cavitating. Flow rate 1800 m³/h.
How do I calculate the friction loss for the civil channel?
How do I know if the sump was correctly designed?
How do I calculate the friction loss over the vertical screen installed to prevent garbage from entering the pump suction? I thought I would treat it as a orifice in the suction is that correct?
Thanks Tinus
