In a gear pump, one gear drives to the other one, while in the case of a lobe pump, both the lobes are driven by the corresponding drive gears outside the pump housing chamber. When the gear teeth are un-mesh, a limited vacuum generates at the inlet of the pump. After un-meshing, the fluid starts to move to fill the generated vacuum and is transported out of the pump. When the gears mesh again, the fluid starts to enter again inside the pump. A hydraulic actuator is a component that converts the hydraulic power of a fluid into mechanical power to achieve the desired effect.

Outside of Oracle Database, uou are not given direct access to those files, unless you have the appropriate operating system privileges. Similarly, Oracle Database requires permission from the operating system to read and write files in the directories. The following example shows a SQL statement that creates a directory object named dpump_dir1 that is mapped to a directory located at /usr/apps/datafiles. The usefulness of the estimate value for export operations depends on the type of estimation requested when the operation was initiated, and it is updated as required if exceeded by the actual transfer amount. In logging mode, real-time detailed status about the job is automatically displayed during job execution. In situations where there are conflicting table attributes, Oracle Data Pump is not able to load data into a table using either direct path or external tables.

To avoid this unwanted conversion, ensure that the export database and the import database use the same character set. If the system on which the import occurs uses a 7-bit character set, and you import an 8-bit character set dump file, then some 8-bit characters may be converted to 7-bit equivalents. An indication that this has happened is when accented characters lose the accent mark. To successfully move a table that was not created because of these conditions, use a non-transportable export and import mode. For example, you can create a directory object for the Oracle ASM dump file using this procedure. Note that READ or WRITE permission to a directory object only means that Oracle Database can read or write files in the corresponding directory on your behalf.

These pumps are mounted vertically, typically with the motor located above the pump, and are designed to efficiently use centrifugal force to move fluid upward through the discharge pipe. The upright orientation allows for installation in tight or narrow spaces, making them especially advantageous in facilities where horizontal footprint is limited. The external tables mechanism creates an external table that maps to the dump file data for the database table. If possible, use the APPEND hint on import to speed the copying of the data into the database.

While this article just touches the surface, it will prepare you to take on more challenging articles and resources related to this critical centrifugal pump topic. These parts perform the same function in every centrifugal pump regardless of type. Read this article to learn what these parts are and what they each do. The two main parts of every centrifugal pump are the casing and the impeller. This article explains what these parts do and how they work together to convert rotational energy into liquid flow.

Eccentric rather than concentric reducers with flat side top should always be used. 1.2  The suction pipe should never be smaller than the suction nozzle of the pump and in most cases it should be at least one size larger. When selecting a circulating pump, the pump will only perform as per the line. So, if you need 8 GPM (0.5 L/s) then you will have 6ft (1.8m) of head.

While it is preferable to select pumps to operate within the POR, pumps should always be selected to operate within the AOR without exception. Very short-term operation outside of the AOR might be acceptable, but the pump manufacturer should be consulted before selecting a pump that will see intermittent operation outside the confines of the AOR. The graph depicting Total Dynamic Head and flow rate also features upward curving lines that illustrate efficiency (measured in percentage). The duty point of the Pump, as determined by the intersection of the Total Dynamic Head and flow rate, should fall within one of the listed efficiency ranges.

The cost of various pipe sizes must be compared to the pump size and power cost required to overcome the resulting friction head. Some pump manufacturers will provide separate charts for operating the pump at different rotational speeds. We can then compare the performance to get a close match and then find an electrical motor which will suit this. Typically, higher rotational speeds lead to more service and maintenance so where possible it’s good practice to choose a lower speed pump that meets our systems requirements. Another option we have is to use variable frequency or variable speed drives. This basically takes the electrical supply and alters it to reduce the voltage and frequency which therefore alters the power of the motor and the speed of the pump.

This is in contrast to the typical end-suction or vertical inline design which generally only includes bearings on one side of the impeller. End-suction pumps, such as the submersibles, which have been designed to handle solids, are often fitted with mixed-flow impellers or specialty impellers such as the vortex or screw impeller. These specialty impellers are designed to handle solids without clogging.

The flow through a screw pump takes place axially and in the direction of the driver screw. Due to the movement of this gear, the idler (driven) gear also starts rotating. The cavity formed between the teeth of these gears is closed by the pump casing and the side plates (also known as wear plates or pressure plates). This pump produces the flow of fluid due to fluid flow between these two gears. In maximum cases, hydraulic pumps are used to energize the fluids from lower pressure to higher.

Total Dynamic Head

The outer edge of the curve will step inwards towards the axis on all sides meaning a reduction in both outlet pressure and flow. Reducing a pumps speed is more efficient than reducing an impeller diameter as the clearances between the impeller tip and casing remain small. 2 pumps operating at 50% capacity will save more energy than one pump operating at full capacity. If a pump is operated too far left on its curve there is no allowance for extra capacity should there be miscalculation in system pressures. Too far to the right and there is the risk of cavitation which can destroy the pump casing and impeller very quickly and cause the liquid to boil.
