    Split case pump mechanical seal failure

    Just a thought, but if we are trying to evaluate a seal failure, why are you posting pictures of the impellers? Lets see the seal faces, sleeves etc. Maybe we could be of some help? their condition would be more telling than the outside of the impellers. Cheers!

    Small pump for liquid pentane

    Goulds model 3935 would be a good selection. Used quite a bit in my area for similar light hydrocarbons at high head. Cheers!

    Shaft Alignment

    Here is a procedure for you. A note of caution as well, if you are only turning the motor shaft, check for run out on the hub on the gear box hub 1st, otherwise it will throw off your adjustment readings. Also, why is the motor offset so large? That seems to be quite a lot of thermal growth...

    VIBRATING CONDENSER WATER PUMP

    Do yourself a favour and have a proper vibration analysis done. Saying the pump now vibrates badly does not tell anyone anything signifigant. A vibration analysis will give you the information you need to properly diagnose and then correct the problem. Hope this helps. Cheers!

    Low flow / high head requirements

    Assuming clean fluid, no solids, a Goulds 3935 centrifugal multistage is a good pick. Very competitive in this flow range and cheaper than a recip style.

    shaft design vertical pump in CTW service

    phil29, You've listed some loose facts but not enough detail to give you a precise answer. 1. What is the pump length below the discharge head?

    Centrifugal Screw Pump - any opinions?

    wickedpete, You didn't say how large the required pump(s) were but I have a possible option for you for ASD requirement. Have used these magnetic motor couplings for a variety of pump and blower services. They are cheaper than VFD's and take up no space. You can check out their web site for...

    How to ramp-up pressure slowly on an RO unit

    ProjectEng, Greetings. Sounds like a good candidate for a VFD. Some quick calculations and a little programming should alow you to step up the speed of the pump to prevent any spiking in the RO. Once the unit is up to pressure/speed, control could be fully assumed by the valve. Hope this helps.
