AI Thread Summary
Selecting a centrifugal pump for high-pressure circulation in a closed system requires careful consideration of both flow rate and pressure ratings. The discussed pump has a capacity of 12 m³/h and a head of 20 meters, but it must also withstand pressures up to 10 bars due to the nitrogen influence. A mechanical seal is recommended over gland packing to prevent leaks under these conditions. Additionally, the pump casing must be designed to handle the maximum inlet suction pressure combined with the shutoff pressure rise. Ensuring compliance with piping codes like ASME B31.1 and B31.3 is essential for safety and functionality.

dear guys
how are u ??
i ve a problem with selecting a centrifugal pump for circulating water in a closed system this system consists of tank , pipes up to 60 meters with 2 inch dia , then these pipes deliver water to a tube contains pressurized nitrogen @ 10 bars then return back to tank and also at the same time this nitrogen also affect on the water free surface inside the tank with 10 bars also

i hope i have descriped the system clearly so guys tell me the manual says that this pump is 20m of head and 12m3/hr flow
so what do u think the characteristics of this pump
i think this pump is a normal pump 12 m3/h and 20 m but can withstand high pressure up tp 10 bars because the pressure is acting on both suction and delivery sides also this pump should have mechanical seal not galand packing to avoid leaking
am i correct or not ?

Your pump casing design pressure should be the max design inlet suction pressure added to the pump shutoff (zero flow) pressure rise.

If your system is unable to handle this pressure, the piping codes (ASME B31.1 and B31.3) allow you to install a pressure relief valve.
 
thanx edgepflow
so the pump selection will be a normal pump but the materials of casing and impeller should withstand this high pressure
 
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...
