Calculation of gasoline loading pump head
Thread Content
I would like to ask about the loading pump used in oil depots. The pump is located beneath the loading platform; the loading pipeline has a diameter of DN100 and a flow rate of 80 cubic meters per unit time. The suction pipe of the pump is 30 meters long, while the discharge pipe is only about 5 meters long. How should the head and power requirements of the pump be calculated in this case?
For light oil, choose a pump based on the flow rate; it’s best to use a self-priming pump. A head of 20–30 should be sufficient, with a power consumption of around 11 kW
For a pump with a flow rate of 80, and a loading line with a flow rate of 100, doesn’t the owner think that the flow speed is a bit high?
