Pumped fluid density increased! What shall happen?

In this video, we dive deep into how changes in fluid density can significantly impact pump operation and performance. Understand the critical effects of fluid density on key aspects like NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head), pump outlet pressure, power consumption, and more.
We explain how increased fluid density can lead to cavitation due to reduced available NPSH, and increased discharge pressure which could exceed system limits. You'll also learn why higher density fluids require greater motor power and cause increased pressure drop in the pumping system.
Discover potential solutions such as impeller changes or limiting pump capacity to mitigate issues caused by fluid density changes. Gain valuable insights into hydraulic calculations necessary to ensure your pumping system operates safely and efficiently.
This video is a must-watch for anyone involved in process engineering, chemical engineering, or working with industrial pumps. Optimize your pump performance and avoid costly failures by understanding the significant impact of fluid density.
