1. MINIMUM INLET (SUCTION) PRESSURE
In general, the minimum suction pressure required
is that which provides adequate NPSHA necessary to
feed the pump. The required NPSHr, expressed in
feet, can be found on the performance curve for the
pump at the specific duty point. It is recommended
that the NPSHA exceeds the NPSHr by a minimum
of (2) two feet as a safety margin and to insure long
term reliable performance of your SSV pump.
NOTE: THE NPSHA MUST BE CALCULATED FOR
THE SPECIFIC SYSTEM TO WHICH THE
SSV PUMP IS TO BE INSTALLED. PLEASE
CONTACT YOUR DEALER/DISTRIBUTOR IF
YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE.
