Under what conditions is a cold medium pump prone to cavitation?
The pressure buildup at the outlet prevents the material from flowing out; the work done by the impeller generates heat, which causes the material to vaporize and leads to cavitation. Cavitation is likely to occur at the material inlet due to the presence of gaseous media. Insufficient inlet flow causes cavitation.

Excessive inhalation height or low inlet pressure can easily cause cavitation
For cold medium pumps, since the medium is highly volatile, poor insulation can result in insufficient flow rates, and it may also cause cavitation
