Effective Pump Intake Design and Troubleshooting Problem Intakes: Using the standard for clear liquid intake design

Date: May 14, 2024

Time: 1pm - 2 pm EST   

PDH Credits: 1

Part-2 of 4-Part Live 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 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.
