Flow Problems
Common Problems Caused by Flow Issues:
Pump Cavitation, Noise, & Vibration | Frequently Worn Seals/Bearings |
Elbow Erosion | Non-uniform Pressure & Flow |
NPSH Head Loss | Compressors Under Perform |
Inaccurate Flow Measurements | Water Hammer |
Unreliable Check Valves | Poor Reactor Uniformity |
Inadequate Space For Flow Expansion | Low Pressure Recovery |
Fluid flow problems are often created by pipe elbows and concentric expansions/reductions that are located close upstream of pumps, compressors, flow meters, or other process equipment such as heat exchangers, spray/packed columns and catalytic reactors. A close look at the turbulence generated by pipe-elbows, expansions and reductions begins to pinpoint the reason why piping system design is a definite factor in process equipment capacity and efficiency losses, inaccuracy, and the need for frequent maintenance. When these piping arrangements exist in close proximity to process machinery and equipment, there is a good reason to suspect that your plant is operating at a competitive disadvantage.
Part of the solution to a plant’s operating inefficiencies rests in the application of flow conditioning technology. The most advanced products in this area include two patented equipment designs, the Cheng Rotation Vane (CRV®) and the Large Angle Diffuser (LAD®), from Cheng Fluid Systems, Inc., that fit in line, have no moving parts, and are simple and cost effective. The CRV® and LAD® create a flat velocity profile through elbows, pipe turns and concentric expansions/reductions in front of process machinery and equipment. The benefits are lower head loss, elimination of cavitation, improved pumping efficiency and flow meter accuracy, increased process equipment throughput and yield lower maintenance requirements, ease of retrofit and lower overall operating costs.
