Problems with the inlet elbow of centrifugal pumps
Thread Content
It is well known that the horizontal eccentric reducer at the inlet of a centrifugal pump is generally arranged with its top aligned horizontally. But when the reducer is connected directly to an elbow that bends upward, can it be arranged with its bottom aligned horizontally?
Sure, but it’s better to add a stopper at the bottom.
It’s possible. Either a horizontal bottom or a horizontal top will work at this time. However, when the bottom is horizontal, attention should be paid to the pipe slope.
