The original question by UsmanS - I want to ask
1) 1) What are
the adverse affects of operating two similar pumps in parallel ?
2) 2) What is the effect on performance and efficiency
of pumps after parallel operation when they taken in service individually?
3) 3) Can someone give references?
Wh 4) What are the adverse affects of operating two different
but matching pumps in parallel ?
4 added for the fun of it
Detail
Rated capacity of single pump is 60cu.m/hr with discharge
pressure of 40Kg/sq.cm
Flow rate required sometimes increase to 67 - 70 cu.m/hr therefore
we have to operate another pump in parallel
It is six stage
centrifugal pump. I think its
sufficient?
Moreover, these pumps are equipped with minimum flow devices
with by-pass feature.
