Good day Folks,
If you have a pump running far off to the right of its BEP. You're head's gonna drop off and your flow should increase right? According to its performance curve. Now, does your fluid velocity increase to the extent that not enough water is being supplied to your mechanical seal flush? I have that problem here, pump running too much to the right of its BEP, we're getting 0 -2 psi discharge pressure and no water coming off the seal flush..is it because the velocity's so high? Or is there something else I'm missing? (I don't have any flow values, no flowmeter available - I'm trying to get a contractor to install an ultrasonic flowmeter to get better readings) Also, the water level seems to be enough as well.
