Good day! In a certain application, the recommended centrifugal pump has to have head of 220 ft at flow of 1100 gpm. Given the pump is not yet available, we are looking into using existing pumps for the mean time. We have an existing pump with head of 374 ft at 485 gpm. Can we use the existing...
With the existing setup, flow from existing well (submersible) is at 170 m3/hr. With the proposed scheme, new flow shall be 420 m3/hr max (additional 250 m3/hr from reservoir).
I am to design a booster pump to be used to transfer water from a tank to an existing water header which is elevated about 30 meters from the tank. Pressure on the tapping point is estimated at 30 psig. In determining the required head, can I only consider the tapping point pressure or the...
