Understanding Net Positive
Suction Head Atmospheric Pressure Until the early 17th century air was largely misunderstood. Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian scientist, was one of the first to discover that air, like water, has weight. He once said, “We live submerged at the bottom of an ocean of the element air.” The weight of this “ocean” of air exerts a force on the Earth’s surface called atmospheric pressure. Torricelli went on to develop the mercury barometer which now allowed for quantifiable measurement of this pressure. A mercury barometer (figure 1) uses a complete vacuum at the Figure 1 top of a glass tube to draw mercury up the tube. The weight of the Operation of a mercury barometer column of mercury is equal to the weight of the air outside the tube (the atmospheric pressure). For this reason, atmospheric pressure is often measured in mmHg or inHg, corresponding to the height of the mercury column. This atmospheric pressure controls the weather, enables you to breathe, and is the cornerstone of pump operation. Pump Operation When asked how a pump operates, most reply that it “sucks.” While not a false statement, it’s easy to see why so many pump operators still struggle with pump problems. Fluid flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Pumps operate by creating low pressure at the inlet which allows the liquid to be pushed into the pump by atmospheric or head pressure (pressure due to the liquid’s surface being above the centerline of the pump). Consider placing a pump at the top of the mercury barometer above: Even with a perfect vacuum at the pump inlet, atmospheric pressure limits how high the pump can lift the liquid. With liquids lighter than mercury, this lift height can increase, but there’s still a physical limit to pump operation based on pressure external to the pump. This limit is the key consideration for Net Positive Suction Head. Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) NPSH can be defined as two parts: NPSH Available (NPSHA): The absolute pressure at the suction port of the pump. AND NPSH Required (NPSHR): The minimum pressure required at the suction port of the pump to keep the pump from cavitating. NPSHA is a function of your system and must be calculated, whereas NPSHR is a function of the pump and must be provided by the pump manufacturer. NPSHA MUST be greater than NPSHR for the pump system to operate without cavitating. Put another way, you must have more suction side pressure available than the pump requires. ©2008 www.vikingpump.com
2.
Vapor Pressure and
Cavitation To understand Cavitation, you must first understand vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is the pressure required to boil a liquid at a given temperature. Soda water is a good example of a high vapor pressure liquid. Even at room temperature the carbon dioxide entrained in the soda is released. In a Vapor Pressure closed container, the soda is pressurized, keeping the vapor entrained. 25 V a p o r P re s s u re (p s ia ) Temperature affects vapor pressure as well 20 15 (figure 2). A chilled bottle of soda has a lower vapor 10 pressure than a warm bottle (as anyone who’s 5 opened a warm bottle of root beer has probably 0 already figured out). Water, as another example, 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 212 will not boil at room temperature since its vapor Temperature (°F) pressure is lower than the surrounding atmospheric Water Soda pressure. But, raise the water’s temperature to Figure 2 212°F and the vapors are released because at that Vapor Pressure versus Temperature increased temperature the vapor pressure is greater than the atmospheric pressure. Pump cavitation occurs when the pressure in the pump inlet drops below the vapor pressure of the liquid. Vapor bubbles form at the inlet of the pump and are moved to the discharge of the pump where they collapse, often taking small pieces of the pump with them. Cavitation is often characterized by: • Loud noise often described as a grinding or “marbles” in the pump • Loss of capacity (bubbles are now taking up space where liquid should be) • Pitting damage to parts as material is removed by the collapsing bubbles Noise is a nuisance and lower flows will slow your process, but pitting damage will ultimately decrease the life of the pump. Figure 3 shows an idler gear from an internal gear pump that has suffered cavitation (note the pitting along the roots and the tips of the gear). Often this is mistaken for corrosion, but unlike Figure 3 corrosion, the pitting is isolated within the pump An idler gear which has (corrosion attacks the pump material throughout). pitting due to caviation Calculating NPSHA No engineer wants to be responsible for installing a noisy, slow, damaged pump. It’s critical to get the NPSHR value from the pump manufacturer AND to insure that your NPSHA pressure will be adequate to cover that requirement. ©2008 www.vikingpump.com

The formula for
calculating NPSHA: NPSHA = HA ± HZ - HF + HV - HVP Term Definition Notes The absolute pressure • Typically atmospheric pressure (vented supply tank), on the surface of the but can be different for closed tanks. liquid in the supply tank • Don’t forget that altitude affects atmospheric pressure HA (HA in Denver, CO will be lower than in Miami, FL). • Always positive (may be low, but even vacuum vessels are at a positive absolute pressure) The vertical distance • Can be positive when liquid level is above the between the surface of centerline of the pump (called static head) the liquid in the supply • Can be negative when liquid level is below the HZ tank and the centerline centerline of the pump (called suction lift) of the pump • Always be sure to use the lowest liquid level allowed in the tank. Friction losses in the • Piping and fittings act as a restriction, working HF suction piping against liquid as it flows towards the pump inlet. Velocity head at the • Often not included as it’s normally quite small. HV pump suction port Absolute vapor pressure • Must be subtracted in the end to make sure that the of the liquid at the inlet pressure stays above the vapor pressure. HVP pumping temperature • Remember, as temperature goes up, so does the vapor pressure. All too often, these calculations are faulted by a simple unit discrepancy. Most often, it’s easiest to work with feet of liquid. Adding the liquid name helps to be clear as well (feet of water, feet of gasoline, feet of ammonia, etc.). Also, make sure to include the specific gravity of the liquid. As discussed above, a 10” column of mercury and a 10” column of water exert very different pressures at their base. Solving NPSH Problems Let’s be honest, many of us don’t begin reading documents like this until after there’s a problem. It would be wonderful if proper NPSH calculations had been run for every pump installation, but for thousands of cavitating pumps out there it’s not too late. The first step is to diagnose the pump. As discussed above, noise, capacity loss, and pitting are three major indicators, but direct measurement not only helps to confirm your suspicions, but also let’s you know what your true NPSHA is. Install a compound gauge (one that measures both vacuum pressures as well as light positive gauge pressures) (figure 4) into the suction port of the pump (or as close as you can in the suction piping). When the pump is running, the reading from this gauge will be equal to your NPSHA, less vapor pressure. If after subtracting vapor pressure this value is less than the pump’s NPSHR, Figure 4 you have confirmed that this is a cavitation problem. A Compound Pressure Gauge ©2008 www.vikingpump.com

Diagnosing the problem
is the easy part. Fixing the problem is usually much more difficult. Step by step, look at which of the NPSHA factors can be improved: Term Improvements • Though you may use external pressure to feed the pump, this is usually HA atmospheric pressure and outside of your control. • If the pump only starts to cavitate near the end of emptying the supply tank, you HZ may consider allowing for a higher level of liquid to remain. • Raising the tank, or lowering the pump helps, but may not be feasible. • This factor is often the easiest to change. You can cut your frictional losses by: - Increasing the size of the suction piping or decreasing the length HF - Reducing obstructions such as valves, strainers, and other fittings. - For thicker liquids, heat tracing the lines will help to reduce the viscous losses - Hoses and corroded pipes have high losses. Consider replacing with new pipe • Control the temperature to make sure the vapor pressure doesn’t get too high. HVP Often tanks and pipes holding high vapor pressure liquids are painted light colors to avoid the sun heating them and raising the vapor pressure. If system changes aren’t feasible or aren’t adequate to increase the NPSHA, consult with the pump manufacturer about reducing the NPSHR. In the case of a positive displacement pump, this will likely mean going with a larger model and slowing it down. For example, a gear pump generating 100 GPM at 780 RPM has an NPSHR of 9.1 feet of water. By switching to a larger pump running at 350 RPM to generate the same 100 GPM, the NPSHR drops to 3.8 feet of water. Slowing the pump allows more time for the tooth cavities to fill, allowing the pump to operate without Figure 5 cavitating even at low suction pressures (figure 5). Internal Gear Pump Just the Beginning Hopefully you now feel more knowledgeable regarding NPSH and its importance when selecting a pump. A basic understanding can go a long way in identifying potential problems before they occur. Lifting liquids from underground tanks or rail cars, pulling thick liquids long distances or through hoses, handling high vapor pressure liquids such as LP gas or alcohol…these are just a few example cases of applications which pose the maximum risk of failure for the engineer who does not understand or account for NPSH. ©2008 www.vikingpump.com
