- And much more!
Don’t be reliant on suppliers, external firms or overtasked colleagues to do the sizing for you. Learn to come to your own conclusions and keep control over your process.
Stop the headaches caused by pumps that keep performing poorly and break down whenever you need them most. Learn how to make reliable pump installations the new norm.
Save large amounts of money, energy and maintenance by learning how to properly size your pumps. Not too big, nor too small – just perfect.
Here you can find all the subjects that will be covered in this course. Click on one of the chapters to discover what’s inside.
Pump curveEverything starts with learning how to read and work with the centrifugal pump curve. Here we discuss different lay-outs of different brands and which things are important to pay attention to as mistakes are very easily made.
Pipe frictionIn this chapter you will learn what pipe friction is and why it is an essential part of the centrifugal pump sizing process. Next we will teach you how to calculate these losses and uncover some common pitfalls.
Calculation pointThis chapter teaches you what the calculation point is and how this value is determined.
System curveIn this chapter you learn how to calculate and create a system curve for a variety of different situations.
Operating pointThere is a lot of misconception about the operating point and where you are allowed to select your pump on the pump curve. In this chapter we separate fact from fiction and teach you how to determine the operating point and the margins within which you can safely select a pump on the curve.
NPSHProbably the least understood aspect of the centrifugal pump sizing process is the NPSH calculation. We talk about why a NPSH calculation is crucial to the life expectancy and performance of your pump. Next we show you how to determine the NPSH in a step-by-step and easy to follow way.
Complete pump sizingIn this last part of the course we bring all the pieces together in a couple of practical exercises for which you have to properly size a pump. Here you will learn how to work through the full sizing process, from selecting the suitable pump curves to the final NPSH calculation.
Live demonstrationsWe invited a nutty professor called “Professor Cavi” to explain complex theoretical concepts in a visual and easily digestible manner. No unnecessary abstract formulas, but simple and easy to understand live demonstrations that really stick.
ExercisesWith the help of practical exercises during every part of the course, we will help you bring the theory into practice and really challenge you to sharpen your centrifugal pump sizing skills. By using a workbook, you will be challenged to make the exercises yourself and afterwards verify with the solution video whether or not you made any mistakes.
