    Centrifugal Pump
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the selection of a pump, comparing a manual-recommended pump with an existing larger pump. The existing pump has a higher capacity and head, but concerns arise about potential damage to the system due to its specifications. The original pump's specifications are 2.2 kW with a flow rate of 12 m³/hr and a head of 20 m, while the new pump is 10 hp with a flow rate of 20 m³/hr and a head of 40 m, but currently operates at only 25 m head. Ultimately, the decision is made to purchase the 2.2 kW pump, which is deemed more suitable for the system's requirements and pressure limits. This choice aims to prevent damage to other system components while meeting operational needs.

accordin to my last to posts here i found this special pump which has materials designed to carry a high press but the problem now
i found a pump on the machine is bigger than the one in the manual
so shall i buy the pump from manual or as the existing pump ?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
What?
 
I'd go for the larger pump, obviously. Best value.
 
That's not the case with Centrifugal pumps.

When you say larger, what do you mean? Check the tags on it. Do you have the curve for your specific pump? These are things that people would need to know to give you advice.

Vespa, if you have a pump designed for 100 gpm at 80 ft of head, and you use a pump that has a capacity of, say, 500 gpm at 80 ft, then you could potentially damage components, overflow/drain systems, all sorts of stuff can happen.

Specifically, what is different. Numbers help us help you, as well.
 
Size matters. Apart from that, the question asked was somewhat obscured in unclear words, and unrelated phrases. The better followup-question would be: "What?".
 
i am very sorry for unclear description but the original pump in the manual was
2.2 kw has q=12m3/hr and H = 20 m
the new pump they put is 10hp q=20m3/hr and H= 40 m and while its operatin on the machine it gives 25 meter head only not 40
the sitiuation now is that i have searched for these pumps history and i found out that this first pump was used for 6 years and the other pumps for 4 years
the main principle in my problem os the maximum op pressure which should be more than 13 bars as u know to make the materials withstand this pressure
so finally i decided to buy the pump of 2.2 kw
which will be cheaper and also the pump curve is very good also covering my conditions and i will prevent destroying of any other element in the system
is it clear now ??
and am i right in my sellection ??
 
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
