pump ragging vs speed/flow
Hi All To answer the question: Is ragging linked to speed or flow? My opinion: Too small a flow may lead to ragging of the pump. In low flow or low speed in VSD operation, the pump ragging risk increases mainly due to complicated pump internal flow patterns, i.e. recirculation. Many pumps...- pumpingwell
