feed pump trip? 4

[saadati]

Protection pressure feed pumps in power plants, because there? Feed pump output pressure is low because the trip?

Please ask someone to help you reword the question. We cannot understand what you are asking.

In power plant why The main feed pump trip on low suction pressure?

 

[steamdog]

To prevent the pump to run dry - without any water in it.

Low pressure at the suction side of a pump can encounter the fluid to start boiling with

•reduced efficiency
•cavitation
•damage

of the pump as a result. Boiling starts when the pressure in the liquid is reduced to the vapor pressure of the fluid at the actual temperature.

The pump has been selected to run with correct suction pressure, any reduction of pressure can cause damage, therefore suction pressure is monitored and will trip if low.

suction pump run pressure correct to low trip for damage with
