Question:

What happens when a centrifugal pump is selected?

If the calculation of the required pump flow is 45, lift 110, and the actual pump flow 100, head 125, what will happen in operation? Can I use it properly?

Answer:

The air pump.The pump itself is mechanical failure.The pump outlet valve core off.Low voltage power.
First of all, the performance curve of the centrifugal pump is similar to the track of the train, and the train can not run away from the track.Secondly, the performance curves of centrifugal pump mainly include flow head curve, efficiency flow curve, power flow curve. When the pump is ready, the curve is fixed. In practical application, after determining the flow rate, the corresponding lift head, efficiency and power (relative to density) are determined. General requirements for centrifugal pump operating in the vicinity at the highest point of efficiency, the efficiency of the flow curve is similar to parabola, so if the actual operation condition deviated from the rated point, whether large or small, will cause the decline in pump efficiency (generally rated value is less than 15%), increased operating costs.
Centrifugal pumps are too big to measure.There is a reason why the centrifugal pump does not measure up:The pump inlet pipe blockage, leakage.The pump inlet pressure is too low.
