Hi what are the problems faced in thermic fluid pumping (at 350 C). Is there any thermic fluid that can be heated upto 800 deg C. How advantage is thermic fluid Vs convensional Furnace heating? Metarial to heat : Zircon sand Temp req : 670deg C Hope some body out there might be using...

BJC Its true that if rpm runs down the line will get clogged. But I think the VSD frequencies minimum level can be set so that the velocity imparted by the pump will be above the limit settling velocity. Still iam bit confused by the overload factor discussed above. Does the overload...

Hi guys Iwould like to know whether Variable speed drives can be used in motors that drive Slurry pumps. Also I would like to know the following details. 1. Can VSD controlled motors develop sufficient torque to clear chocked delivery lines. 2. Is it advisable to install a VSD for above said...

Hi guys Thankx for all that comments. Think Iam almost satisfied with all your posts. But one question still remain Is there any equipment in this world that can really suck ? If so please intimate me so that I can really differenciate between the pump and that equipment's principle. Hope U all...

Can any one out there give me the Chemical Composition of Sea Water (aproximate) ,I mean the salts disolved in it in ppm

I will reframe the question . We are having about 35 feet of suction head (Atm head + 2mts bin height) So if the pump does not suck then the water should leak out through the suction hole even when the pump is running, since the suction side will have about 16 psi (aprox) pressure, But in actual...

We are using a 6/4AH Warman slurry pump for transporting slurry sand. Our pump lost most of its load taking capicity and on inspection found that the Giboult joint has devloped a leak at the suction side. But in one of the posts the top guns in this forum stated that pumps will not Suck but...

Can anyone out there help me to find suction velocity of a slurry pump. How is it calculated? This question was asked in one of our interviews

You can get a good Idea if you read Introduction To Mineral processing by Kelly & spottiswood, Introduction To Mineral Processing by B.A.Wills. Other books by Godwin and one more by Richard.O.Burt The most common equipments are spirals, Hydrocyclones, Flotex, Jigs, wettables etc. you can...
