Pump Station Basics

Pressure versus Head

Pressure can be measured inpounds per square inch (psi) orin the height of a column ofwater (feet)

One foot of water = .433 pounds

per square inch One pound per square inch =

2.31 feet of water


4/84

Pump Station Basics

Pumps create pressure not flow

XX gpm in XX gpm out at an increased pressure of psi The available flow is a function of the water source not a function of the

size of the pump

Pumps create specific pressure at rated flow Constant pressure / flow curve

As flow increases pressure decreases

As flow decreases pressure increases

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are used whenflow demand varies at constant pressure Like an accelerator on a car varies motor / pump speed

Not needed when flow is constant

Can also vary pressure for zone control


5/84

Pump Station Basics

Inlet pipe size some indication of flow

Elevation impacts how the pumps are rated

The discharge of a pump is usually stated in Feet

The discharge of a pump station is usually stated inPSI

Pump Station Basics

Elevation Affects Pump Performance

Atmospheric Pressure at sea level is 14.7PSI = 33.96FT

Atmospheric pressure above sea level: 14.7PSI (0.0005 x Altitude above sea level) For Mt Lemmon in Arizona, 14.7PSI (0.0005 x9000FT) = 10.2PSI

Motors are rated at nameplate to 3300FT.

Motors above 3300FT are de-rated. 4% every 1640FTabove 3300FT.

Flow in gallons per minute

Electrical power for the pump

Elevation

What is the Water Source?

Well

Lake or Pond

River or Ditch

Public Source

Above Ground Tank

Below Ground Tank

Potable Water

Well Water

Reclaim Water

Agriculture Water

Snowmelt or Stormrunoff

Chiller or A/C Water

Rainwater

Electrical Power

Most common types of power in U.S.

460 V, 60Hz, 3 Can power pumps up 500HP

230 V, 60Hz, 3

Can power pumps up to 100HP

230 V, 60Hz, 1

The largest motor available in 1 230V is 10HP

Rest of the World Power: Canada: 575 V, 60Hz, 3

Asia & Middle East: 380V, 50Hz, 3


10/84

Boost Application

Similar to Flooded Suction with positive head orpressure to pump inlet

Water supplied to inlet of pump in enclosed pipe(e.g. city main) not open to atmosphere

Must have minimum inlet head or pressure tooperate properly


11/84

Booster Application

Suction Discharge

20 PSIG 80 PSIG

Pump that is developing 60 PSI (138.6 Feet of Head)


12/84

Flooded Suction

Flooded Suction is where water level is locatedabove the inlet to the pump

Positive head or pressure to pump inlet

Water source is open to atmosphere

Must have minimum inlet head or water level tooperate properly


13/84

Flooded Suction Application

Suction Discharge

5 PSIG 55 PSIG

Pump that is developing 50 PSI (115.5 Feet of Head)

Tank


14/84

Suction Lift

Suction Lift is where the water level is below the inletof the pump

Atmospheric pressure pushes water up pipe to inletof pump (e.g. straw in water glass)

Locate the pump as close to the water surface as ispractical

Rule of thumb maximum height of station abovewater level is 15 vertical feet


15/84

Suction Lift Application

8

Suction piping friction loss = 3Atmospheric pressure14.2 PSIA (1,000 elev.)

Atmospheric pressure = 32.8 (14.2 X 2.31)

Elevation of source = -8 (below pump) Suction plumbing friction loss = 3

NPSHA = 32.8 8 3 = 21.8


16/84

Suction Lift Problems

Loss of Prime

The pressure in the suctionline is less than atmosphericpressure. A leaking foot valveor suction pipe can allow airto leak into the suction line.Air then replaces water at theinlet to the pump. This isreferred to as a Loss of

Prime. Pumps cannot pump air, so

the pump just spins,performing zero hydraulicwork.

Air


17/84

Suction Lift Kits

It is recommended that acheck valve be installed atthe inlet of the suctionpiping to ensure water in thesuction pipe does not flowback out after pumps stoprunning. This type of checkvalve is referred to as a footvalve.


18/84

Vertical Turbine

Used in applications that have a wet-well

Utilizes Vertical Turbine Pumps thus the name

Capable of providing high flow and high pressure

Easy to service the motor

Requires crane to service the pump


19/84

Wet Well Vertical Turbine Application


20/84

Submersible Turbine

Used in applications for river, pond or undergroundtanks

The pump and motor are submersed into the water,thus the name (vertically or horizontally)

Quiet operation, reduced pump house ventilationrequirements

Lower pump profile versus suction lift

May plug in dirty water applications

Less efficient than vertical turbine pumps

Requires a crane to service motors

Superior Electronic Design

An Industrial CircuitBreaker is good forthousands of trips andhas three visible

positions:

1) Open, 2) Shut, or 3)Tripped

A fuse is good for oneover current transient,and offers zero visibleindication of its status.


61/84

Circuit Breakers

instead of Fuses (astation can be downbecause of a single fuse)



62/84

Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

Every main motor on a RainBird Pump Station is startedon the VFD

VFD saves energy by onlypowering the pumps that areneeded based upon demand

VFD starting of every motorprovides motor longevity

Helps minimize pressure surge onirrigation piping


63/84

Solid Pump Station Control Panels

Eliminate moving parts contactors, surge protection,relays

Provides best motor life w/power conditioning & motorProtection

Quick repair time: less wiringand VFD error codes revealproblems quickly.

Each motor is controlled by its own VFD

Start-up Facts

Start-up is the first service event

Most service issues can be traced back to start-up

There are generally three tiers of customers involvedin every start-up

A successful start-up is crucial for future sales

RBSC manages all start-ups


81/84

Pump Station Start-up Process

The start-up process begins when the pump station is in early production

RBSC monitors the pump station during production and keeps the customerinformed

RBSC acts as liaison between the Plant and the Customer

RBSC manages the delivery communication of all domestic pump stations

RBSC manages communication until a pump station is ready for start-up

RBSC coordinates the start-up service event

RBSC follows up within 24 hours of a successful start-up to ensure thecustomers complete satisfaction

RBSC follows up within 30-60 days to ensure customers continuedsatisfaction (Customer Acceptance)


82/84

Total Customer Satisfaction Model

RBSC has identified (in general) three tiers of customers Distributors Contractors End-Users

RBSC engages all three tiers of customers during the start-upprocess Distributors: Engaged during production through delivery (and in some cases

through start-up) Contractors: Engaged during production through 24-hour start-up completion

follow-up End-users: Engaged at Customer Acceptance (30-60 post start-up)
