Idea:- TRIMMING THE IMPELLER DIA FROM 445 MM TO 425 MM IN
COLD WATER PUMP FOR POWER SAVING
PROBLEM: Cold water pump trips when discharge valve is opened at 100%. SOLUTION: On studying it was found that the motor full load current is 150A which reaches when the pump discharge valve is opened at 75%.It was found that the impeller size is more than the required size. The impeller was BEFORE decided to be trimmed from existing 445mm to 425mm. BENEFITS: i) Cold water pump tripping avoided. ii) Energy saving of 107.8MW worth 7 Lakhs per annum Team Leader & Members:- 1.Basavaraj Vandli AFTER 2.Mehaboob 3. Praveen
