Effective Pump Intake Design and Troubleshooting Problem Intakes: Using the Standard for Clear Liquid Intake Design

Effective Pump Intake Design and Troubleshooting Problem Intakes: Using the Standard for Clear Liquid Intake Design

PDH Credits: 1.0

Part-2 of 4-Part Webinar Bundle

Overview:

This webinar delves into the application of the ANSI/HI 9.8 Intake Design for Rotodynamic Pumps Standard, specifically addressing clear liquid intake design and the crucial aspect of achieving uniform flow. It comprehensively covers various intake configurations for clear liquids, ranging from rectangular to unconfined intakes, including formed suction inlets (FSIs), circular designs, trench types, tanks, and can intakes. The session concludes with a concise summary of key insights followed by a Q&A session aimed at providing additional clarification.

Learning Level - Advanced:

Advanced level training is designed for individuals with a strong foundational knowledge and experience who seek to enhance their broad skills and knowledge. Advance training delves into complex concepts, analysis, design, optimization, and problem solving.

It is recommended that attendees have intermediate level knowledge or complete intermediate level training prior to attending this course.

Audience:

Individuals with a technical background, who have basic and intermediate level knowledge on pumps and systems, including experience technical sales, system designers, and engineers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, learners should be able to:

• Understand the purpose of the ANSI/HI 9.8 Standard, which aims to provide normative criteria for the design and acceptance of new or modified free surface intakes used with rotodynamic pumps, and to mitigate potential issues arising from inadequate approach flow.
• Apply intake design considerations to achieve uniform flow by minimizing vortex activity, pre-swirl, and non-uniform approach flow distortions, thereby mitigating large pressure variations caused by small velocity fluctuations due to the squared velocity head.
• Apply the Standard to design clear liquid intake systems, including various configurations such as rectangular, formed suction inlets, circular, trench type, tank, can, and unconfined intakes.

PDH Credits

One (1) PDH credit will be issued upon completion of this live webinar series. 

The acceptance of continuing education as it applies to fulfillment of the state licensing requirements for professional designations is at the pleasure of the individual state licensing boards. It is the responsibility of the individual participants to be knowledgeable about their state requirements.

Licensed Professional Engineers

Continuing professional development is a vital component to the engineering licensure process. Most state licensing boards require continuing professional development as a condition for licensure and renewal of the license to practice engineering. Pre-approval of training providers and courses are not required by most state licensing boards, except for the following:

Florida Board of Professional Engineers

Pump Systems Matter is a board-approved continuing education provider for the Florida Board of Professional Engineers: License # CEA361.

North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors

Pump Systems Matter is an approved continuing professional competency sponsor for the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors: Sponsor # S-0523.

New York State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology

Pump Systems Matter is approved as a sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State: NYS Sponsor # 241.
