have the advantage that there is no contact between the bearing sliding Characteristic maps

PROTECTION AND MONITORING

Orifice and inducer Table of Contents

Orifice
We recommend protecting the HERMETIC pumps by using two orifices
against any outside influence (for example by operating personnel).
Orifice 1 (Qmin) ensures the minimum throughput required to dissipate
the motor heat loss. Orifice 2 (Qmax) maintains the minimum differential
pressure in the rotor space that is needed to stabilise the hydraulic axial
thrust balancing and to prevent the evaporation of the partial flow. A
flow regulator can be used instead of the Qmax orifice.
General information
Inducer Function
Inducers are axial impellers that are arranged on the same shaft immedi-
ately in front of the first impeller of a centrifugal pump to generate an Operating principle
additional static pressure in front of the blade cascade of the impeller. Characteristic maps
Inducers are primarily used where the energy level provided by the system
is insufficient (NPSHA > NPSHR). The HERMETIC inducer reduces the Versions
NPSHR value of the pump by approx. 0.5 m over the entire characteristic List of parts
curve. In many cases, inducers are also used prophylactically if the
expected resistance of the inlet or suction line cannot be accurately Collective measurements
determined or if fluctuations in NPSHA are expected due to changes in Documentation and tests
the geodetic height of the inlet liquid level or its pressure superimposition.
Inducers are also particularly suitable for conveying boiling liquids (that Installation
are afflicted with gas bubbles). In both cases, the inducer can be used Protection and monitoring
to prevent cavitation or reduced output provided it is correctly calculated
