    About this ebook

    Troubleshooting Centrifugal Pumps and Their Systems, Second Edition, begins by discussing pump characteristics that can be reconfigured to suit changing conditions. Next, it provides guidance on when to withdraw a pump from service for repair and how it should be subsequently treated. It is an ideal resource for those who feel ill-equipped to analyze unsatisfactory pump system behavior, and is also a great reference for pump engineers, pump hydraulic designers, and graduate students who need systemic knowledge on centrifugal pumps and their systems.

    • Presents the basic mechanisms of abrasive wear in centrifugal pumps, including different wear patterns and their causes
    • Discusses performance improvements to help readers meet the new requirements of a pumping system
    • Describes repair and life improvement techniques
    • Includes real-world examples of troubleshooting in centrifugal pumps and systems
