How big is a 1200m3 centrifugal pump approximately?
Thread Content
For beginners creating equipment layout diagrams, how much space does a 1200m3 centrifugal pump roughly take up? Could any expert explain this? lol
The approximate flow rate and head are needed; only by knowing the type can an estimate be made
It’s an ISW horizontal centrifugal pump with a flow rate of 1200 m3; the head value is unknown. Could you estimate what it might be?
Yeah, you need to provide some detailed parameters: 1200 m3/h. A cantilever pump will do, a BB1 pump will work as well, and a mixed-flow pump is also an option； You need to look at the approximate head pressure to determine the size of the motor. The more detailed the planning, the more accurate it will be
Head is also very important; different heads result in significant differences in motor power, and different models occupy different amounts of space as well. For example, for a system with a capacity of 1200 cubic meters and a head of 20 meters, a motor of 90KW-4 is sufficient; but for a head of 32 meters, a motor of 160KW-4 is required
Check. Pump manufacturers’ websites offer product catalogs, detailed descriptions, and installation instructions. Baidu works too.
Since this is the first time we are doing this and it’s just a preliminary design, the requirements provided by the workshop were only a flow rate of 1200 m3; no information regarding head was given. Therefore, we just want to know an approximate area required to determine whether the available space is sufficient. It’s possible that the insufficient information provided has caused some inconvenience for everyone
I checked a bit, but the specification table doesn’t include any information regarding the volume of the pump; it only lists the operating conditions of the pump
You need to provide some detailed parameters: 1200 m3/h. A cantilever pump will work, as will a BB1 pump, or a mixed-flow pump as well； You need to consider what the head is roughly, and what the medium being transported is Only then can one infer what it is.
