How do you Address Pump Cavitation

Pump Cavitation
Address Pump Cavitation

To put it simply, cavitation is the creation and collapse of bubbles in a liquid flowing inside a pump. Bubbles are created due to the drop in pressure in the pump or the supply lines. This can create loud, gravelly noises inside the system. Cavitation is a serious problem for pumps as it can cause corrosion of internal components like motors, seals, and impellers. We at VEMC are the leading industrial pump suppliers in Mumbai, and in this blog, we tell you how to address pump cavitation.

Causes of pump cavitation

  1. The most common cause of pump cavitation is piping. Either the inlet pipe from the source of water is too short or too long causing pressure variations.
  2. The use of equipment like strainers or valves can also cause pump cavitation by blocking the free water supply into the pump.
  3. If the water supply is coming from a tank, less reserve liquid can cause a drop in pressure which in turn causes cavitation.

Signs and symptoms

  1. Users will usually complain of a loud sound inside the system, somewhat like gravel or coffee beans passing through.
  2. If your pump is producing lower pressure levels, it could also indicate cavitation.
  3. Cavitation can also cause unexpected vibrations not accounted for by the equipment used or liquid being pumped.
  4. Cavitation has a severe impact on your pump impeller. Any pieces or eroded parts of an impeller inside the pump system indicate cavitation.
  5. Erratic power consumption can indicate cavitation. This happens because bubbles form around the impeller or the impeller itself has begun to fail due to which the pump needs to draw more electricity to move the liquid.  

Negative impact of cavitation

When water bubbles form and explode inside the pump, these release latent heat of condensation. The pressure jet created due to this hits the nearby solid surface causing damage to it. While one or a few instances may not cause any significant impact over time the pump can get seriously damaged due to persistent cavitation. Since cavitation takes place when water enters the pump, the first component that bubbles impact is the impeller.

Preventive measures

So here are some ways to troubleshoot your pump cavitation on your own:

  1. Pump cavitation is usually caused by a drop or imbalance of pressure in the pump. This can be a result of clogs on the suction or discharge side. Make sure you check the filters and strainers for any blockage.
  2. Make sure your pump is operating at its best efficiency levels by using a pressure gauge or a flowmeter.
  3. Reconfigure your pipe designs. Pipe designs with inverted U’s on the suction side can trap air. Likewise, pipe designs with a 90 degree right before the pump can cause turbulence inside the pump. Both can cause cavitation.

To know more about cavitation and ways to prevent it, feel free to give us a call at 022 43436655 or email us at marketing@vemc.co.in. We at VEMC are the leading Kirloskar pumps distributors based in Mumbai having more than 70 years of pumping experience.

Gain a Better Understanding of KBL’s Hydropneumatics Pressure Boosting System – HYPN

The Hydropneumatic Pressure Boosting System or HYPN is KBL’s path-breaking innovation in the field of pumping. It is an intelligent water supply system that enables you to adjust the flow on the basis of demand. VEMC is one of the leading pump and electric control panel manufacturers in Mumbai, and in this blog, we tell you all about KBL’s HYPN system.

What is HYPN? 

The HYPN is a system that brings together a range of devices and equipment such as pumps, motors, control panels, tanks, pipes and accessories to orchestrate fluid handling. As per need, a number of pumps such as inline, end suction, split case pumps and sump pumps are used in tandem in the HYPN system. It curbs the usage of energy and maintenance costs by controlling the supply of the liquid on the basis of demand. Users can also monitor and control the water supply on their smartphones or laptops through KBL remote monitoring system.

Key features of HYPN

HYPN system offers some of the most outstanding features that are rapidly transforming the pumpin industry and bringing it in line with latest business and environmental needs. 

  1. HYPN systems operate in accordance with the water demand. This means it is a self-adjusting system that only pumps water as per demand.
  2. When no pumps are in use, the HYPN automatically turns them off. This smart feature helps users save energy units and also reduces the carbon footprint of the facility.
  3. HYPN system maintains the system pressure all the time and avoids fluctuations.
  4. With HYPN, users can remotely access their fluid handling system through a desktop or smartphone-based dashboard. Thus, without being physically present at the site, the users can control and monitor the entire system with ease.
  5. HYPN is a smart pumping system that has demonstrated higher efficiency levels, lower maintenance costs and longer equipment lifespan.

How HYPN system is different

As any electrical panel manufacturer in Mumbai will tell you, conventional fluid handling systems have no way to adjust the pumps to the demand. They require manual intervention every step of the way. When used in high-rise buildings, their biggest drawback is the drop of pressure as soon as the demand for water increases and vice versa. In contrast, HYPN uses a combination of fixed-speed and variable-speed pumps which helps maintain the desired pressure based on demand. 

On the basis of flow, there are 3 configurations of HYPN systems:

  1. FX constant speed system: This only has constant speed pumps and is used in buildings with very little variation in pressure demand such as residential buildings and bungalows.
  2. MX cascade system: This is a cost-effective medium-sized system ideal for moderate flow variations such as industrial and commercial applications.
  3. EX all pump VFD system: This is a large-sized system ideal for dynamic flow variations in townships, hospitals, airports, malls, and metro stations.

The Top 5 Reasons Why Modern Markets Demand Energy-Efficient Pumps and Valves

Modern Markets Demand Energy-Efficient Pumps and Valves
water pump dealers 

Some of the biggest business concerns in modern times are costs of energy, environment, compliance, etc. Just like competitors, these factors constantly act upon your business and shape your strategy. VEMC is one of the leading water pump dealers based in Mumbai.

Top Five Reasons Why Modern Markets Demand Energy Efficient Pumps And Valves

1. Cost reduction

Due to rapid economic growth leading to a rise in consumption, there is growing pressure on our conventional sources of energy. The demand pressures are thus causing a significant rise in energy costs per unit. However, energy-efficient pumps and valves can help reduce energy bills significantly by reducing over-consumption and wastage.

2. Sustainability

Climate change has become the single greatest danger to humanity globally. Even a marginal increase in global temperatures has the potential to wreak havoc through natural disasters such as storms, floods, and landslides. To keep a check on carbon emissions, the least businesses can do is reduce the demand-side pressure on conventional sources of energy especially fossils such as coal. As your Kirloskar water pump dealer will tell you, energy-efficient pumps and valves can be a great step in this direction. By reducing energy consumption, these pumps and valves can lower our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

3. Compliance

Climate change is also shaping the legislative landscape across national boundaries. Governments and authorities are becoming increasingly proactive in checking pollution levels and waste of energy. Businesses are expected to comply with these legislations and regulations. Flouting these can make them liable to hefty fines, reprimands, and penalties from regulators. This makes it all the more important for businesses to use energy-efficient pumps, valves, and other equipment.

Apart from all the energy and environment-related benefits, one simple and straightforward advantage of energy-efficient pumps is optimum performance. With limited intake of energy, these pumps can provide the highest levels of productivity in terms of flow, pressure, and overall fluid handling. More efficient pumps and valves can in short enable businesses to accomplish tasks and meet business goals at significantly lower costs.

4. Eliminating losses

Control valves or bypass loops cannot be possibly used everywhere in the fluid network. These in fact are indicative of unbalanced processes or oversized pumps. As your Kirloskar pump authorised dealer will explain, pumps and valves which are innately able to control fluid flow can also help eliminate losses due to wastage of energy.

solar power company

The efficiency of a solar plant is the output it generates relative to the space it occupies. Usually, solar power plants have an efficiency of 17 to 23%. But this can be stretched if you’re mindful of the workings of your panel. VEMC is the leading solar power company based in Mumbai.

7 critical factors that impact the efficiency of your solar plant

1. Solar panel quality

For starters, the quality of your solar panel and the kind of material used in your solar panels has a significant impact on its efficiency. Monocrystalline panels, for instance, have the highest efficiency of about 23%. These panels are also useful in case of limited space on the roof. On the other hand, thin-film solar panels offer the least efficiency.

2. Orientation of your solar panels

Ideally, the roof on which a solar panel is mounted should be south-facing and the slant should be between 30 and 40 degrees. This exposes the solar panels to the sun maximally. However, this may not always be possible and the installer must find the best possible placement of the system on your roof.

3. Shading

Shade from nearby trees or buildings blocks sunlight and reduces the efficiency of your solar panel by upto half. Make sure the system is installed at a location where there is no or minimum possible shade. In case of tall trees, the branches can be pruned and cut to prevent them from obstructing the sunlight.

4. Dust, dirt, and contaminants

In places where it doesn’t rain frequently, make sure you clean the dust and dirt regularly. Contaminants can block the sunlight from falling on your solar panel and affect its efficiency. Likewise, in winters, snow accumulated on the solar panel will also obstruct the sunlight. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the panels is necessary to ensure highest levels of efficiency.

5. Efficiency of the accessories

Accessories like inverters, wires and cables also affect the efficiency of the system. For example, connector wires that offer too much resistance to the current will impact the output. Make sure you always use genuine and high-quality accessories like inverters. 

6. Weather and climate

Solar panels function optimally within a certain temperature range. Extreme weather conditions can impact their efficiency and reduce the output. While snow and blizzard physically cover the solar panels, extreme heat can damage them and reduce the output. But as long as it doesn’t cover the panels, snow can improve the overall efficiency due to its high irradiance.

7. Maintenance and monitoring

Lastly, any solar system needs high maintenance and monitoring. You must regularly inspect the connector wires for any breakages. Make sure the site is free of rodents which may damage the wiring. Monitor the flow of current regularly and call your solar panel consultants and installers in case of significant fluctuations.
For more on how you can get the maximum out of your solar panels, call VEMC on 022 43436655 or email us at marketing@vemc.co.in. We are the leading solar panel installation company in Mumbai and also offer best-in-class solar energy consulting services.
