Pump Installation and Maintenance

Pump installation and maintenance begin with pump definition and go to pipe and valves. A pump is a mechanical device that rotates or reciprocates in order to transport fluid from one location to another.

A pump's function is as follows:

A pump is intended to:

• move fluid from one location to another
• from low-pressure zones to high-pressure zones
• from lower to higher elevations 
• From close to home to far away, we've got you covered.

Pumps come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, with two types described: positive displacement and centrifugal. The displacement volume of positive displacement pumps is fixed. As a result, the flow rates they produce are precisely proportional to their speed.

1. Describe the function of pump components.
2. Define a variety of pump terminologies.
3. Explain how a pump works.
4. define the elements of a pump curve
5. Explain a simple pumping system.
6. Describe the most common pump failures and their reasons.

Small-diameter pipes can have thinner walls than large-diameter pipes in high-pressure systems and are easier to route and install.

Small-diameter pipes restrict flow and can be particularly troublesome in systems with surging flow characteristics. Smaller pipes also have faster liquid velocity, which increases erosion, wear, and friction head. The energy required for pumping is affected by increased friction head. 

Valves in a pumping system can control the flow. Some valves include:

• distinct positions
• closed or open
• flow restriction
• The ease of maintenance is important when choosing the right valve for an application. Reliability.
• leaky tendencies
• The cost. The frequency at which the valve will be opened and closed.
