Bab8977,
You will have to measure the effective suction capacity and power absorbed at 4-6 operating points starting from atm. pressure to your best possible vacuum.
also important to measure are
- seal water temperature:
measure the seal liquid flow, seal liquid inlet and out Temperatures in order to calculate with Pneurop the corresponding "standard capacity" (when using water at 15°C and air at 20°C).
Then compare your measured / actual performances with the performances std. curves of a new pump.
- rotating speed:
as it will affect the power absorbed
Nash-Elmo offer this kind of service but also many smaller repair/service companies.
Adresses are available on
hope it helps
