Hi all
i have a self-priming diaphragm pump which
is installed 4 meters above the water level
pls refer attached image...
the pump's suction is 2" and is connected
directly into a DN 150 pipe.
the DN 150 pipe drops vertically and
runs about 14 meters at a slight angle
into the water.
anyone know how to calculate the time required
to prime the diaphragm pump ie; when the air
about 1130 liters volume in the pipework
gets sucked out & the water reaches the pump's
suction inlet.
we have only being able to get the priming time
from experience with our pump operating in some
of our installations.
