The Purpose of Pumps

The most common level of vacuum required to do most laboratory procedures is, in reality, not a very significant vacuum. In fact, a high (=10 3 torr) to very high 

The concept of you get what you pay for can be altered for vacuum pumps to the less you want, the more you pay. With that thought in mind, you do not want to pay for vacuum you do not need. Note however, that the stated limit of a pump

CRYOPUMP. 11) An exposed surface refrigerated to cryogenic temperature for the purpose of pumping gases in a vacuum chamber by condensing the gas and maintaining the condensate at a temperature such that the equilibrium vapor pressure is equal to or less than the desired ultimate pressure in the chamber. 

Connect the manifold pressure gauge with the pipe of air conditioner (compressor) and the multi-purpose adapter of the vacuum pump for the purpose of pumping out of the system to the vacuum state. 

Assemble an apparatus similar to that used in the prenous experiment, i.e., a 500 ml. conical flask fitted at the neck with a freshly-charged calcium chloride tube, a dropping-funnel, and in addition an outlet-tube joined to the water-pump so that dry air can be drawn through the calcium chloride tube and thence through the conical flask. The purpose of the air-stream is to remove as much as possible of the excess of hydrogen chloride. 

The curve of the pump in this service should show an NPSHr of less than 44 ft at the duty point. And the purpose of this pump is to drain this rank, lowering its level. If we don t want inadequate NPSHa and the possible resulting cavitation to start during the process we should consider a second Hs2 with the tank empty. The other factors remain the same. At the end of the process, we have ... 

The level in this sealed tank is 12 feet above the pump (Figure 2-3). The Hs] is 12 feet. The purpose of this pump is to drain this tank to a level 6 feet above the pump, so the Hs2 is 6 feet. The Hf is 1.5 feet and the Hi is 2 feet. 

For the purposes of understanding this concept and formula, there s nothing mathematically significant about the square root of the flow, or the NPSHr to 1 power. These mathematical manipulations simply give us Nss values that are e. y understood and recognizable. For example, the health inspector might j. . a restaurant s cleanliness on a scale from 1 to 100. We might ask you to rate this Lc on a scale from 1 to 10. Those are easy numbers to deal with. How would yc- this book on a scale from 2,369 to 26,426,851 This doesn t make sense. Likewi , the mathematical manipulations in the Nss formula serve simply to convert weird v . into a scale from 1,000 to 20,000 that cover most impellers and pumps. Values at... 

The purpose of the system eurve is to graphieally show the elements of the TDH imposed on the pump eurve. The systena curve shows the eomplete pieture of the dynamie system. This permits the purehase, installation, and naaintenanee of the best punap for the system. The system eurve is most useful when mated with the pump family eurve. This is why the family curves are the most useful to the design engineer, the maintenance engineer, and purehasing personnel. 

Don t use a flexible coupling to compensate for misalignment between the pump and motor shafts. The purpose of the flexible coupling is to compensate for temperature changes and to permit some axial movement of the shafts without interference, while they transfer energy from the motor to the pump. 

For the standby pump start test, which is an important test to ensure the pumps transfer without large pressure swings, a check should be made to see if the relief valves lift or the pressure falls to a pressure one half the difference between the standby pump start pressure and the compressor trip pressure. The transient pressure is best measured with a multipen chart recorder. The chart speed must be high enough to fully display the pressure variation. While not as good as the chart recorder, a simple shop-made test setup can be substituted. A spare switch is temporarily connected to the same location as the other switches. This switch is calibrated to close at the threshold acceptance pressure. The contacts are wired to a test light through a seal relay. The purpose of the relay is to maintain the cir-... 

Select the employee to be sampled and discuss the purpose of the sampling. Inform the employee when and where the equipment will be removed. Stress the importance of not removing or tampering with the sampling equipment. Turn off or remove sampling pumps before an employee leaves a potentially contaminated area (such as when he/she goes to lunch or on a break). 

Failure is considered both on a local basis i.e., loss of utihty supply to one item of equipment (e.g., electric power to a pump motor) and on a general basis i.e., loss of supply to all consuming equipment in a process unit (e.g., cooling water to all coolers and condensers). For the purpose of these pressure rehef design considerations, a process unit is defined as one which meets all the following criteria ... 

Started. Since pump A and its associated pipework was off-line, the supervisor took the opportunity to carry out scheduled maintenance on the pressure relief valve (PRV) downstream of pump A. The valve had been malfunctioning, and although the work was not scheduled to be done for some weeks, the specialist contractor team who maintain the PRVs had a team available to carry out the work immediately. The supervisor therefore now had two teams working on the pump A systems the shift maintenance team working on the pump itself, and a two-man contractor team working on the PRV and its associated pipework. The PRV for pump A is not located immediately adjacent to the pump, and is above floor level, close to a number of other pipe runs. The following description represents a hypothetical sequence of events based on the inquiry findings, but embellished for the purposes of the case study. 

Well cementing materials vary from basic Portland cement used in civil engineering construction of all types, to highly sophisticated special-purpose resin-based or latex cements. The purpose of all of these cementing materials is to provide the well driller with a fluid state slurry of cement, water and additives that can be pumped to specific locations within the well. Once the slurry has reached its intended location in the well and a setup time has elapsed, the slurry material can become a nearly impermeable, durable solid material capable of bonding to rock and steel casing. 

The purpose of a hydraulic pump is to supply the flow of fluid required by a hydraulic system. The pump does not create system pressure. System pressure is created by a combination of the flow generated by the pump and the resistance to flow created by friction and restrictions within the system. 

Couplings are mechanical devices used to connect the shaft of a driver (e.g., motor, turbine, etc.) to the shaft of a driven unit (e.g., fan, pump, etc.). The purpose of a coupling is to transmit rotary motion and/or torque on a continuous basis without slippage. 

Abstract. Newly established residential area in Vastra Hamnen (West Harbour) in the city of Malmo uses Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) as part of the district heating and cooling system. ATES system has 5 warm and 5 cold wells that are 70-80 m deep. Cold from the nearby sea (Oresund) and water cold from heat pump is stored from winter to summer. The purpose of the system is to deliver free cooling to district cooling system at a temperature level below +6-8 °C. Operational experiences and economic aspects are discussed. 

The main purpose of recharging water into an aquifer is to elevate the hydraulic gradient to promote the movement of groundwater towards the collection system, thus enhance the efficiency of pumping.
