Q

The distillate pump for a 12000 GPD evaporator, should be rated at a minimum of __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Convert gallons per day (GPD) to gallons per minute (GPM) • Relationship between system capacity and pump rating • Realistic pump sizes for a 12,000 GPD evaporator

💭 Think About

• First, convert 12,000 gallons per day into gallons per hour, then into gallons per minute. What number do you get? • Should the pump capacity be close to the actual distillate production rate, or many times larger? Why? • Looking at the options, which value best matches the calculated production rate in GPM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Carefully divide by 24 hours/day and then by 60 minutes/hour • Check that your final units are GPM, not GPH or GPD • Compare your calculated GPM to the choices and see which one is closest and realistic for this size evaporator
