🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal pump cooling requirements when handling hot liquids • How minimum continuous flow affects pump internals such as casing, impeller, and seals • Difference between system requirements (like NPSH) and what’s happening inside the pump when flow is too low

💭 Think About

• If a centrifugal pump is running with very little or no flow, what happens to the liquid and metal parts inside the casing over time? • Which of the choices describes an effect that takes place primarily inside the pump casing as a whole, rather than only at one small component like the shaft gland or suction side? • Which option best explains why manufacturers often require a minimum recirculation line for hot service pumps?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice deals with overall pump protection rather than a localized part (like just the glands). • Ask yourself which option is most directly related to avoiding damage from heat build-up and phase change of the liquid inside the pump. • Verify which factor is typically addressed by minimum flow or recirculation lines in pump operating manuals and manufacturer recommendations.
