What causes pumps to cavitate? And why is my pump so LOUD?

In this Pump Report, Chad covers the causes and symptoms of positive displacement pump cavitation.


Hi, I'm Chad Wunderlich with Viking Pump. In a previous video we discussed the priming capability of positive displacement pumps, like this gear pump. This is due, in part, to the pump's ability to develop vacuum...but what happens if that vacuum gets too high? 


Today we're going to talk about cavitation. You're watching the Pump Report. 

Slowing Down Your Pump's Motor with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

In a positive displacement pump, each rotation of the shaft and gears carries a fixed volume of liquid from the supply tank to the downstream piping. When paired with an AC induction motor, speed and flow are very consistent. But what if you want to CHANGE the flow? In this episode of the Pump Report, Chad discusses controlling your positive displacement pump's motor with a variable frequency drive - or VFD.

50 States / 50 Pumping Applications: Utah, New Hampshire, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma

Let's start in Utah. Soaps and detergents are viscous and corrosive - making them perfect applications for Viking pumps. These include dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and hand soaps just to name a few. Many are liquids, but some are powder slurries which are then dried into powder or compressed into tablets for easier handling.

Triethylene Glycol (TEG) for Gas Dehydration

Natural gas from wells must be dehydrated prior to transfer or it can freeze and plug the pipeline. Triethylene Glycol (TEG) is used as a desiccant to remove the water at a dehydration plant.

In a simplified dehydration plant, wet gas enters a contact tower where lean liquid TEG is cascaded countercurrent to the gas, absorbing the water, and dry gas exits the tower. This now rich TEG flows through a reboiler where water is removed, and is then pumped back to the contact tower against natural gas line pressures

4223AA SERIES™

4223AA

The 4223AA Series™ internal gear API pump is the ideal solution for your upstream, midstream, and downstream liquids due to its reduced risk of leakage, reduced risk of VOC emissions, and reduced risk of corrosion failure. It can handle flows up to 500 GPM (114 m³/h).
