We have total of two (2) pumps that are connected in parallel. The discharge outlets of these pumps are connected in 14” common discharge header. One pump is in operations while the second pump is on stand by.
These pumps share one common minimum flow protection flow control valve (FCV), which is installed on the 14”common discharge header. This FCV is set at 1000 GPM.
We are planning to re-stage these pumps from 12 stages to 16 stages. My question is: Do we need to increase the minimum FCV setting or leave it as is?
