Maintenance and Op Staff involvement in design meetings
Piping design and Pipe Supports
Gauges!
Pressure and vacuum switches for PD pumps
Pulsation dampeners
Suction piping and suction lift applications

Independently support piping
Install valves on suction and discharge side for maintenance
If using mechanical joint couplings (Victaulic), must be rigid cut
Suction piping as short as possible
Use check valves when multiple pumps discharge to common header

Poor piping design
![Page 12: Real World Considerations for Pump Design, Operation and ... - Steve Truitt Penn Valley Pump PPT... · Real World Considerations for Pump Design, Operation and Maintenance Steve Truitt,](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042708/5a7a75437f8b9a0d098d9f6e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
On both suction and discharge sides of pump
Gauges provide diagnostic tools to troubleshoot pumping problems
![Page 13: Real World Considerations for Pump Design, Operation and ... - Steve Truitt Penn Valley Pump PPT... · Real World Considerations for Pump Design, Operation and Maintenance Steve Truitt,](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042708/5a7a75437f8b9a0d098d9f6e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recommended for both suction and discharge sides of all PD pumps
Prevents pump damage due to blocked lines or inadvertent closed valve
Mounts to top of dampeners, clear of process liquid to improve gauge and switch life

• SS316 Body w/ EPDM Sleeve
•Adjustable Vacuum/Pressure Switches
•4” SS Gauge
•Glycercin fill for smooth gauge movement
•SS316 Fittings and Ball Valve
•Quick release air-fitting for easy dampener re-charging

Helpful for all PD pumps
Reduces vibrations and pulsations in piping
Can be used on suction
and discharge

Suction piping as short as possible
NPSH
Cavitation – reduced flow, knocking/gravel, pump damage
Suction lift
Pumps create low pressure
Vacuum tight valves
Straight, vertical pipe runs are best
