I've been looking around on the web and in my books for information about suction starvation of pumps in parallel, but cannot find anything. Does anybody have any information on this or know where I can find something on it?
Thank you,

What you stated about the seal failure, high amps is nothing new to me as the pump had a significant internal recycle. I am well aware what was going on there. Also with the flowrate and lower suction pressure how it correlates to the lower flow rate and lower amps....that is nothing new to me...
I have done many calculations in the past wrt heat losses from a tank. To ignore the heat loss due to the ground is not exactly a good assumption. Remember that for a tank, the section of the tank that sits on the ground is conduction heat transfer, whereas the rest of the tank is mainly...
Hello All,
I have a pumping system that has been giving a problem the past little while and we cannot seem to find the reason as to the why.
