are provided with the pump. One should become familiar
with each or these devices and understand how, when
properly installed and utilized, they can help to ensure
a long and trouble-free pump life.
PUMP SUCTION LINE
Proper pump suction line sizing helps to minimize
bubbling and vortexing of the liquid refrigerant which can
cause cavitation or loss of prime. For ammonia, typical
pump suction line sizing should deliver an optimum 3
feet per second flow rate from the accumulator vessel
(pump recirculator). For halocarbons, a flow rate of 2.5
feet per second is optimum. The suction line should
be sized for the maximum allowable pump flow, not
the nominal design flow, because pump demand can
vary widely due to system demands such as defrost
termination and production start up. Undersizing the
suction line is not tolerable, while oversizing should not
exceed 1 or 2 pipe sizes. Suction line pipe sizing is listed
in Table 1. The pump inlet flange connection is normally
one or two sizes smaller than the pump suction line
pipe. Reducers on the pump inlet should be eccentric
with flat side on top to avoid bubble accumulation in
the suction line.

TABLE 1
Adequate NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) is necessary
to minimize the potential of cavitation during normal
operating conditions. Typically, NPSH is defined as the
static head of liquid (in feet) above the centerline of the
pump inlet; see Figure 3. Insufficient available NPSH
can cause the loss of pump pressure and lubrication;
eventually leading to shortened pump bearing life. The
system required minimum NPSH values for each pump
are specified in the Standard Pump Specifications on
page 20.
Avoid any unnecessary pressure drop in the pump suction
line from valves, strainers, and fittings. When required,
they should be sized for minimum pressure drop. The
pump suction line should be as short as possible and
ideally piped with a steady downward slope to the pump.
Horizontal runs should not exceed 18 inches. Baffle
plates should be installed in the accumulator above
the exit to the pump to eliminate vortex formation. The
liquid level inside the vessel should be a minimum of
ten inches above the vessel internal inlet to the pump
suction line and located away from evaporator overfeed
return, liquid makeup, hot gas condensate return and
other piping arrangements. Some examples of correct
and incorrect routing of suction piping are shown in
Figure 2. The pump suction line, vessel, level column,
and float switches should be insulated to minimize
boiling of refrigerant.
