1 Please check this points are not falling on pump H-Q curve (50 Hz). How can stable operation This curve is falling below the design curve so it in operating region. BHEL confirms that
of pump at this points be ensured ? Pump runs in stable operation. Since DRIP Pump is constant speed pump, it always operate
on Flow - Head (H-Q) Curve given. i.e. DRIP pump operates at Flow and actual head (HEAD
ACT.) given in table.
2 We understand that at best efficiency point pump should run at highest efficiency. Please Best efficiency point is the system condition given in sizing calculation. It is EMCR condition

3 As per Notes-1 of Annexure-I V-IIC/S-III "Best Efficiency point should be at the rated discharge Best efficiency point is the system condition given in sizing calculation. It is EMCR condition
(design point), the efficiency during 100% TMCR operation shall not fall appreciably (more of the system not DRIP Pump best efficiency point.
than 2%) from the best efficiency value."
4 Please indicate rating of motor. As per cl. no. 4.03.07 of sec-III, vol-IIC, "Rating of the motor Indiacted inrevised drawing.
