  • Considering API Plan 23 Sealing Systems for Boiler Feedwater Pumps

    In boiler feedwater pump sealing systems, API Plan 23 recommends circulating a quasi-closed loop of  process water from the seal to a heat exchanger, then back to the seal to maintain the feedwater at a temperature low enough to ensure an effective seal. This is considered by some to be the most energy efficient and reliable method of sealing boiler feedwater. Read More

  • PUMP GUY: Evaluating A Pump's Heat Generation Over Time

    We all know that you can operate a centrifugal pump against a closed discharge valve, but the pump and liquid will get hot. Is there a way to evaluate the amount of heat that will be generated over a certain period of time? Is a large split-case, one-impeller pump more susceptible to “feel” heat build-up than a multi-stage vertical turbine pump? Read More
