2 Introduction
The requirements made on process plants steadily increase,
both regarding the quality of the products and the profitability
of the processes. Making liquids flow solely due to the earth’s
gravitational force is today unthinkable. Liquids are forced through
pipes, valves, heat exchangers, filters and other components,
and all of them cause an increased resistance of flow and thus
pressure drops.
Pumps are therefore installed in different sections As a manufacturer and supplier of centrifugal pumps

right place is crucial and will be responsible for optimum for both applications.

2.2 Liquids
Each liquid possesses diverse characteristics that may influence
not only the choice of the pump, but also its configuration such
as the type of the mechanical seal or the motor. Fundamental
characteristics in this respect are:
• Viscosity (friction losses)
• Corrodibility (corrosion)
• Abrasion
• Temperature (cavitation)
• Density
• Chemical reaction (gasket material)

5 Technical Fundamentals
This manual helps carrying out the optimal design of
centrifugal pumps. We show you how to proceed to
find the right pump.
5.1 Installation
Install the pump in close vicinity to the tank or to another source
from which the liquid will be pumped. Make sure that as few as
possible valves and bends are integrated in the pump’s suction
pipe, in order to keep the pressure drop as low as possible.
Sufficient space around the pump provides for easy maintenance
work and inspection. Pumps equipped with a conventional base
plate and motor base should be mounted on a steady foundation
and be precisely aligned prior commissioning.

DESIGN OF CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS · 25
By help of the example below and the annexed summarised diagrams and tables all the
centrifugal pumps can be designed. The tables contain Tuchenhagen specific valves and
pipe fittings. For the calculation of pressure drops in a plant, the conversion principle of
the measured friction factor (ζ) of valves and fittings in metre equivalent pipe length is
applied.
According to the table, the pressure drop is 6.5 m per 100 m at
a flow rate of 24 m3/h and with a pipe DN 65. Based on 40.18 m,
the pressure drop (H ) is 2.61 m. Downstream the pump, the
