According to hydraulic calculations, it should be possible; you can do the calculations!
It’s possible; 22+24=32, so this works
It seems the original poster didn’t express themselves clearly. If the oil is to be transported from the discharge site to the tank, and you calculate that the pump head required is 32 m (which should include a height difference of 22 m), while the actual pump head selected is 24 m, then this choice of pump head is unreasonable. If it is a centrifugal pump, the flow rate of the pump may be much lower than its rated flow rate ； If it is a positive displacement pump, it should not be able to achieve pressure. If it is a hair oil, with such a high potential difference, self-flowing hair oil could be considered. Otherwise, a head of 24m as an oil feed pump is too high, and such a pump is also unreasonable. For reference.
I personally think: there should be no problem! ! !
It’s fine for materials that are transported outward; but for materials with high viscosity, you should consider the pressure drop.
Agree with the person on floor 4; you need to analyze each situation on its own
It’s workable for now, but there might be problems in the long run
The poster should calculate what the friction loss is; for a height difference of 22 meters (which refers to the difference between the oil tank foundation and the oil discharge area), 18 meters can be considered a reasonable value. The remaining amount can be compensated for using pumps. If the distance is short, I think natural flow is sufficient~~
Since the oil tank is 22 meters higher than the oil dispensing area； In that case, a pump is not really necessary; oil can be applied by gravity
