Centrifugal pumps are the most frequently used pumps. They are widely
accepted because they combine a relatively low initial cost with high
reliability, compact size, non-pulsation flow, and easy maintenance. They are
also widely available, cover broad flow / pressure application ranges, and
can operate over a wide flow range.

3. Bearing
Most rolling bearings consist of rings with raceways (an inner ring and an outer ring), rolling elements
(either balls or rollers) and a rolling element retainer.
The retainer separates the rolling elements at regular intervals, holds them in place within the inner and
outer raceways, and allows them to rotate freely.

Rolling elements come in two general shapes: ball or rollers. Rollers come in four basic styles:
cylindrical, needle, tapered, and spherical.
Balls geometrically contact the raceway surfaces of the inner and outer rings at points, while the
contact surface of rollers is a line contact.

Theoretically, rolling bearings are so constructed as to allow the rolling elements to rotate orbitally while
also rotating on their own axes at the same time.
While the rolling elements and the bearing rings take any load applied to the bearings (at the contact
point between the rolling elements and raceway surfaces), the retainer takes no direct load.
The retainer only serves to hold the rolling elements at equal distances from each other and prevent
them from falling out.

3. Bearing - Rolling Element
Rolling bearings come in many shapes and varieties, each with its own distinctive
features. However, when compared with sliding bearings, rolling bearings all have
the followings advantages:

(1) The starting friction coefficient is lower and only a little difference between this
and the dynamic friction coefficient is produced.

(2) They are internationally standardized, interchangeable and readily obtainable.

(3) Ease of lubrication and low lubricant consumption.

(4) As a general rule, one bearing can carry both radial and axial loads at the
same time.

(5) May be used in either high or low temperature applications.

(6) Bearing rigidity can be improved by preloading.
26
PUMPS- Basic Design
3. Bearing - Ball versus Roller
Generally speaking, when comparing ball and roller bearings of the same
dimensions, ball bearings exhibit a lower frictional resistance and lower face run-
out in rotation than roller bearings.

This makes them more suitable for use in applications which require high speed,
high precision, low torque and low vibration.

Conversely, roller bearings have a larger load carrying capacity which makes
them more suitable for applications requiring long life and endurance for heavy
loads and shock loads.
27
PUMPS- Basic Design
3. Bearing - Radial and Thrust
Almost all types of rolling bearings can carry both radial and axial loads at the
same time.

Generally, bearings with a contact angle of less than 45 have a much greater
radial load capacity and are classed as radial bearings; whereas bearings which
have a contact angle over 45 have a greater axial load capacity and are classed as
thrust bearings.

There are also bearings classed as complex bearings which combine the loading
characteristics of both radial and thrust bearings.

CAVIATION
The pressure of the liquid in a centrifugal pump drops as it flows
from the suction flange through the suction nozzle and into the
impeller. The amount of pressure drop is a function of many
factors, including pump geometry, rotational speed, frictional
and hydraulic shock losses, and flowrate. If the pressure at any
point within the pump falls below the vapor pressure of the
liquid being pumped, vaporization or cavitation will occur.

HOW TO DETERMINE NPSHr
The pump manufacturer determines the NPSHr of an impeller
pattern by conducting a suppression test using water as the
pumped fluid. These tests are usually only made on the first
casting for an impeller pattern, not on individual pumps.

Normally, the NPSHr plotted on the traditional pump curve is
based on a 3% head loss due to cavitation, a convention
established many years ago in the Hydraulic Institute Standards.
Permitting this large a head loss means that cavitation would
already have been occurring, at some higher flow condition,
before performance loss was noticed.
45
PUMPS- Performance Evaluation
CLASSIC CAVIATION
Classical cavitation occurs when the absolute pressure of a moving liquid is reduced to, or even below, the
vapor pressure of the liquid in the impeller eye. Bubbles are formed as a result of this pressure drop. Lower
pressures in the impeller eye are caused by variations in velocity of the fluid and friction losses as the fluid
enters the impeller.
The bubbles are caught up and swept outward along the impeller vane. Somewhere along the non-visible
side of the impeller vane, the pressure may once again exceed the vapor pressure and cause the bubbles to
collapse.
Implosions of these vapor pockets can be so rapid that a rumbling/cracking noise is produced (it sounds like
rocks passing through the pump). The hydraulic impacts caused by the collapsing bubbles are strong enough
to cause minute areas of fatigue on the metal impeller surfaces. Depending on the severity of the cavitation, a
decrease in pump performance may also be noted.
The first reaction to a cavitation problem is usually to check the NPSHa at the eye of the impeller and
compare this to the NPSHr by the impeller design. The ratio of NPSHa/NPSHr must be sufficiently large to
prevent the formation of cavitation bubbles.
Keep in mind that very few process applications call for a pump to handle a pure liquid such as water. Most
services handle a mixture of various components (e.g., crude oil, blended gasoline or even paint). As such,
they will have a range of vapor pressures or boiling points, which depend on the volatility of each component.
Cavitation damage to a centrifugal pump may range from minor pitting to catastrophic failure and depends on
the pumped fluid characteristics, energy levels and duration of cavitation.
46
PUMPS- Performance Evaluation
INTERNAL RECIRCULATION CAVIATION (1)
Recirculation cavitation is a term used to describe the
formation of vapor-filled pockets. This type of cavitation is
less well known and understood than classical cavitation.

As the pump is operated back on its curve, eddy currents
begin to form in the eye of the impeller. There is no reduction
in mass flow through the pump at a given point on this curve.
This means that the velocity through the impeller fluid
channels must have increased. That is, the eddy currents at
the eye have effectively reduced the flow channel size,
thereby increasing liquid velocity for the fixed flowrate.

When the velocity increases, the pressure drop due to friction
must also increase.

If the drop is large enough to cause the pressure to fall below
the liquid's vapor pressure, the pump will develop classical
cavitation because of the initiating action of recirculation
cavitation.
47
PUMPS- Performance Evaluation
INTERNAL RECIRCULATION CAVIATION (2)
Another cause of recirculation is that as the fluid flows over
an impeller vane, the pressure near the surface is lowered,
and the flow tends to separate.

This separated region occurs when the incidence angle--the
difference between flow angle and pump impeller vane inlet
angle--increases above a specific critical value.

The stalled area eventually washes out but is reformed as
rotation continues. The area contains a vapor surrounded by
a turbulent flowing liquid at a higher pressure than the vapor
pressure.

This separated region will then fill with liquid from the
downstream end. The vapor pocket collapses, which causes
damage to the surface of the impeller vane. This may occur
up to 200 to 300 times per sec.
48
PUMPS- Performance Evaluation
HOW TO IDENTIFY CLASSIC
CAVIATION AND INTERNAL
RECIRCULATION CAVITATION
1. Classical cavitation.
Damage is located on the non-visible or
underside of the vane. It starts near the
leading edge and can extend up to
approximately two-thirds of the vane length
before the pressure implodes the bubbles.
Either feeling or looking at the underside of
the vane with a mirror is necessary to
evaluate the damage.

2. Suction recirculation.
Damage is on the visible or the pressure
side of the vane's leading edge. If tip
recirculation has occurred, damage will be
on the visible or pressure side of the vane
near shroud walls.
Note that this damage will be on the opposite side of
the vane as that which occurred with classical cavitation.
This continuous recycling results in noise, vibration and
pressure pulsations. These results imitate classical
cavitation, and thus recirculation is often incorrectly
diagnosed as such.
