    Types of Transfer Pumps


    Positive displacement pumps
    employ a moving piston and either a plunger, diaphragm or
    rotor to move a fixed volume of liquid per revolution of the
    pump.: eg Welden pump
    reciprocating pump
    diaphragm pump
    rotary pump

    Types of Transfer Pumps (cont.)


    Centrifugal Pumps
    A centrifugal pump contains a central rotating wheel, the
    impeller, that uses centrifugal force to impart high velocity to
    the liquid, and then converts most of this velocity to pressure.
    Centrifugal pumps operate at relatively high rotation speeds
    (3600 rpm).

    Texsteam Pump, OPERATION

    Texsteam Pump, OPERATION

    Pumps, Safety
    Pumps must only be operated by experienced personnel.
    It is advisable to mark lines.
    To prevent electrical shocks, the electrical starting box
    should always be closed when switching the pump on
    or off.
    Electric pumps must be correctly grounded.
    Electric cables, plugs, and sockets must be in good
    condition.
    Because electric pumps require a lot of power, the power
    supply to the pump must be equipped with a circuit
    breaker.

    Pumps, Safety
    Rotate the pump shaft by hand to ensure it turns freely.
    If the operating voltage of the pump is changed, verify
    that the pump is rotating in the right direction.
    When the pump is rotating, never try make any
    adjustments or repair; turn off the pump first.
    Verify that the suction valve is open before starting the
    pump. Running the pump without fluid will destroy the
    pump.
    When starting the pump, make sure it turns in the correct
    direction. The correct direction is usually indicated by an
    arrow stamped on the pump.

    Pumps, Safety
    To ensure that the suction is flooded at all times, set the
    tank supplying the pump at sufficient elevation above the
    inlet of the pump.
    Use pressure gauges mounted on suction and discharge
    lines to quickly verify that the pump is working properly.
    Right after starting the pump, bleed off the air or vapors
    that could be trapped in the pump.
    If the pump does not deliver fluid at the discharge port
    within 30 seconds, stop the pump and verify step-by-step
    the recommended starting procedure.

    Pumps, Safety
    Verify that the suction and discharge pressures are
    within the pressure range specified by the manufacturer.
    Don't apply pressure that's higher than that required for
    efficient operation.
    If all the fluid is diverted to the pump, the pump will
    required a lot of power. Open bypass valves while
    starting (Moineau, Sundyne). When the motor reaches
    normal speed, close gradually bypass.
    Use check valve after pump outlet.
