Installation height of pneumatic diaphragm pump
Thread Content
For 2 underground horizontal alcohol tanks with a capacity of 30 cubic meters each, the calculated installation height for the pneumatic diaphragm pump is 3.6 meters – is this normal?
Sure. The reasons are as follows: The suction height of a pneumatic diaphragm pump is up to 5 meters; taking into account various unfavorable factors such as pipeline resistance, pumping capacity, and pipeline sealing, it is feasible to install it at 3.6 meters.
The information you provided is incomplete. What is the temperature of the material? What is the diameter of the inlet pipe? Length? Intuitively, an installation height of 3.6m seems incorrect. This requires calculating the effective net positive suction head to determine it. https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1764877-1-1.html

The temperature of the material reaches up to 60°C. The diameter of the inlet pipe is DN40. In terms of length, it is approximately 7 meters from the storage tank to the pump, and about 245 meters from the pump to the point of use. The transportation height is around 20 meters. There is also a section that runs along a road and is buried at a depth of roughly 0.8 meters. All the information is here
