Pump Sizing

1. Volume Flow Rate (m3/hr or gpm)

2. Total Head, h (m or ft)

2a. P (bar, kPa, psi)

3. Power Output (energy added to fluid) and Input (mechanical shaft power from motor)

4. NPSH Required

Delivery

Centrifugal Pumps

Flow accelerated (forced by impeller)

Then, flow decelerated (pressure increases)

Low pressure at center “draws” in fluid

Pump should be full of liquid at all times

Flow controlled by delivery side valve

May operate against closed valve

Seal between rotating shaft and casing

Centrifugal PumpsAdvantages

Simple construction, many materialsNo valves, can be cleaned in placeRelatively inexpensive, low maintenanceSteady delivery, versatileOperates at high speed (electric motor)Wide operating range (flow and head)

DisadvantagesMultiple stages needed for high pressuresPoor efficiency for high viscosity fluidsMust prime pump

Centrifugal Pumps

What if available NPSH is less than required NPSH?

Increase Available NPSH1. Increase suction static head (pump location)2. Increase suction side pressure3. Decrease fluid vapor pressure4. Reduce friction losses on suction side

Decrease Required NPSH1. Reduce pump speed2. Select a different pump

Centrifugal Pumps

Curves created for specific speed, viscosity and density

Often, use more charts or correction factors to “fine tune” pump selection

Variable speed motor has same effect as impeller size

Multiple pump/impeller combinations may work

Centrifugal Pumps

Closed ImpellerMost common, low solidsWater, beer, wortFlash pasteurizationRefrigerants

Open ImpellerLower pressuresSolids okayMash to lauter turnLiquid yeast, wort, hops

Positive Displacement Pumps

Theory: Volume dispensed independent of delivery head

Practice: As delivery head increases, some slippage or leakage occurs

Speed used to control flow rate, use of valves could cause serious damage

Self-priming

Good for high viscosities, avoiding cavitation

Laws of Thermodynamics• First Law – Energy is conserved• Second Law – Energy has quality, processes go in certain directions only

Forms of Energy• Potential energy = mgh• Kinetic energy = (0.5)mv2

• Internal energy (U) – microscopic forms

A 500 gallon water tank is filled with 220 gallons of hot water at 80C and 280 gallons of cold water at 10C. Assume that the specific heat of water is 4.2 kJ/kg.K.

a) Determine the temperature in the tank after it has been filled.

b) How much heat must be added to the tank to bring its temperature to 65C?

c) If a 30 kW electric heater is used, how long will the heating process take?

500 kg of grain (25C) is mixed with hot (80C) and cold (10C) water for mashing. The water to grain ratio (by weight) is 3:1 and the specific heat capacities of the water and grain are 4.2 and 1.7 kJ/kg.K, respectively.

a) If the desired “mash in” temperature is 38C, how much hot and cold water should be added?

(Continued) A three step mashing process, with 20 minute-long rests at 50, 62 and 72C, is desired. The mash should be heated quickly, but not too quickly between rests; with an optimal rate of 1C per minute. Neglect heat losses to the surroundings.

b) Plot the mash temperature vs. time.

c) Determine the heating power required, in kW.

d) Determine the total heat required for the mashing process, in kJ.

Two types of heat sources are available for mashing, electric resistance heaters and steam. The steam enters a heating jacket around the mash as dry, saturated steam at 300 kPa and it exits the system as wet, saturated steam at the same pressure (enthalpy of vaporization = 2150 kJ/kg).

(e) What is steam flow rate required, in kg/s?

(f) If steam is used, what is the total mass of steam required, in kg?

At the location of our brewery, electricity costs $0.14/kW-hr and the steam can be generated for $0.03 per kg.

(g) What is the mashing cost when electric resistance heaters are used?

(h) What is the cost with steam?

Explain the term “net positive suction head” and discuss its importance in the pumping of liquids in a brewery.

A centrifugal pump with an NPSH of 5 m is pumping wort from a whirlpool, open to the atmosphere, to a wort cooler. If the wort is at 95C and has a vapor pressure of 0.8453 bar, calculate the minimum distance below the whirlpool outlet that the pump must be positioned to prevent cavitation. Data on board…
