🔍 Key Concepts

• Centrifugal pump suction conditions and how air or vapor in the suction affects performance • Difference between cavitation/pounding and loss of prime/air binding • How flow rate and noise change when a centrifugal pump is drawing air instead of solid liquid

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to a centrifugal pump’s ability to move liquid if a lot of air gets into the suction: does the pump move more liquid, less liquid, or the same? • Which of the listed symptoms would you expect if the pump became partly or fully air bound after running for a short time? • Which option describes a problem that starts after the pump has already been moving liquid normally for a while, then changes as air accumulates?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice directly involves a change in liquid flow rate over time rather than an immediate mechanical or electrical problem? • Which symptom is clearly tied to conditions at the suction side (liquid/air mixture, loss of prime) rather than packing friction or motor load? • Ask yourself: if air leaks in, will the pump load the motor more or less, and will it make loud cavitation noises at the suction chest or quietly lose effective pumping?
