Centrifugal pump head Complete understanding explained in this blog read it carefully for clear this term.
Frequently asked questions
1. If we increase or decrease level of suction tank
then Head will be change?
2. What is Total Head, Suction head, Discharge
head?
3. If you have suction reservoir which level is below
impeller eye then How to calculate Total Head of Pump?
4. If you have pump which produces 30 meter head will it
actually work in 30 meter height?
Head
Head is the height at which pump can deliver water.
1: If we increase or decrease level of suction tank then
Head will be change?
Answer:
Yes
Head will be change.
If we increase suction tank level Head will be increased.
If we decrease suction tank level Head will be decreased.
When suction tank level is higher pump suction pressure will also raise.
This will result in higher Head.
2. What is Total Head, Suction head, Discharge head?
Answer
Total head refers to total water lift
from Suction tank highest level
to water
Total head Ht is
Height of water in discharge line.
Hs = Suction head
Height of water in suction line.
