Guidebook ready to ship on or before May 10, 2013 The first book of the new Pump Application Guideline series, Power Plant Pumps: Guidelines for Application and Operation to Maximize Uptime, Availability, and Reliability offers comprehensive insights into the application and operation of pumps used in combined-cycle power plants. The information found in this guide on proper pump selection and operation are crucial for minimizing energy consumption and increasing overall plant efficiency, reliability, and profitability. Based on the equipment used in a typical 400 MW combined-cycle plant, this guide describes important details about the pump types used, offers guidance for proper selection of main and auxiliary service pumps, and describes the significance of proper operation of pumps in power plant service.
Power Plant Pumps is an informative and valuable guide for engineers, designers, trainers, maintenance staff, and plant operators of combined-cycle power plants. The guidebook is now available at the HI eStore. Power Plant Pumps Guideline available now ...
Standard available now This new guideline discusses the effects of operating a rotodynamic pump at rates of flow greater than or less than the rate of flow at the pump’s best efficiency point (BEP). These effects influence the power consumption and life of pump components and, therefore, considering the operating rate of flow is essential to reliable, efficient pump operation. The preferred operating region (POR) and the allowable operating region (AOR) are defined for rotodynamic pump types and related to specific speed. Factors that affect AOR are discussed and NPSH margin versus rate of flow is presented. The guideline also indicates when stable or unstable operation may be expected based on typical system head curves, for pumps exhibiting a drooping head curve or a head curve with a dip. Considerations such as the robustness of a pump are also discussed. Order the hardcopy version or order the PDF version More information ...
