Q:BASICS OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMP OPERATION TELL US THAT PUMPS HAVE TO BE STARTED WITH DELIVERY VALVE OF PUMP IN FULLY CLOSED CONDITION.HOWEVER.SOME OF THE MULTISTAGE PUMP MANUFACTURES ADVISE THAT MINIMUM DISCHARGE IS TO BE ENSURED AT ALL TIMES(INCLUDING STARTING TIME) AND DELIVERY VALVE SHOULD NEVER BE FULLY CLOSED.WILL SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THIS CONTRACTION?
A: While starting a pump with the discharge valve closed is easier on the motor and allows for a more controlled start-up, it can be hard on a pump, causing additional radial force on the shaft as well as heat build-up. In a single stage pump these affects will probably not cause harm in the time it takes for the Operator to begin opening the valve.
A multistage pump, with the greater heat input and bearing span(greater shaft flexibility), will be much more sensitive to the conditions mentioned above. Depending on the number of stages and fluid being pumped, damage due to component rubbing or gassing up of the pump can happen very quickly during no flow operation.
Starting pumps with the discharge valve cracked open is probably better for most pumps, but will be more critical for multistage types.
