+ engine
# Transmission devices;
+ gears
+ clutches
+ couplings
# Auxiliary equipments;
+ lube & seal systems.
+ buffer gas system.
+ cooling system.
# dynamic compressor;
+ increase the pressure of a gass by using rotating blades to increase the velocity of
gas.
# types include;
+ axial
- Used for high flow.
+ centrifugal
# dynamic
+ self limiting.
+ heavy duty.
+ sensitive to system changes.
+ sensitive to specific gravity.
+ variable flow.
+ fixed head capacity (for certain flow).
# d operating point;
+ equilibrium condition that exists between the head produced by d equipment and
the head required by the process system.
+ and always depends on system resistance, gas characteristics and compressor
condition.
+dynamic,
-definition : increase pressure by using rotary blades to increase fluid velocity.
- types : centrifugal axial.
- characteristics : variable volume, constant differential load, sensitive to liquid
properties, sensitive to system changes, self limiting.
# pump similarities;
+ hydraulic and mechanical ends regardless of pump type.
# power pump.
+ used for high pressure.
+ low flow application.
+ either vertical @ horizontal.
+ termed because driven by external power source such as motor, internal combustion
engine and steam turbine.
# Diaphragm pump.
+ has good suction lift characteristics.
+ effective to used for low pressure with low flow rates.
+ capable to pump against pressure.
+ pressure of the motive fluid.
+ used for metering pump.
+ can handle sludge and slurries.
+ good also for dry running.
+ low shear.
+ good self priming capabilities.
+ cause pulsating flow @ water hammer.
# rotary pump.
+ PD type that do not cause pulsation.
+ inherent high efficiency and versatility.
+ suitable for lube oil, seal and other high viscosity.
# metering pump.
+ the pump itself is pressuring device.
+ not self limiting.
+ and need relieve valve in between shut off valve to prevent over pressuring of the
tubing or piping in line in case shut off valve or stop valve inadvertently shut while
the pump is running.
+ not good at pumping gasses.
+ and before start up this pump need to be primed first.
+ Prime = the pump head filled with liquid to be pumped.
+ vapor lock – gas enter the pump and the pump hardly to push the gas out to solve
this problem chromatography solvents are often degassed before pumping.
# screw pump.
+ fluid flow carried axially between the threads if two or more close clearance rotor
so that affixed volume if fluid is displaced in each revolution.
+ frequently used for lube and seal service.
# Gear pump.
+ fluid is carried between the teeth of two external gears and displaced as they mesh.
+ used for small volume lube oil services and liquids of very high viscosity (asphalt
or polyethylene and etc.
# Dynamic pump.
+ centrifugal pump.
+ use centrifugal force for pumping liquid from low level to higher level of pressure.
+ liquid enters the center if the rotating impeller which imparts energy to the liquids
before centrifugal force discharges the liquids thru pump volute.
+ widely used in fluid handling especially in refinery and petrochemical.
