VF Drives
VF drives require inverter duty
motors
Include in specifications High efficiency to reduce low speed heat generation
Insertion Restrictions
Impeller(s) and shaft need to be inserted into
the tank Identify the size and geometry of the opening through which impeller components must pass Ideal to discuss this first with one or more vendors before finalizing the vessel design Some smaller vessels use body flanges which can be used to insert and assembly shaft and impeller components Be sure to specify this opening on your RFQ

Interferences?
Dip tubes Inlet or discharge piping Heating/cooling coils Headroom restrictions Thermowells Level instrumentation Other instrumentation pH, DO
Abrasive Solids
Predetermined maximum
velocity? Erosion rate proportional to velocity to the 4th power. High efficiency impellers do better in abrasive solids service Running at higher impeller diameters and lower speeds will reduce the tip speed required to provide equal flow.

Addition Location
Influences blend time
Best location at suction of impeller Alternate location on surface near center Worst location at discharge of impeller
Competitive or competitive-consecutive
reactions
Influences selectivity
Elastic fluids
Characteristics: shaft climbing effect; reverse rotation on shut-down If inertial forces cannot overcome the elastic forces affects power blending and flow pattern.
