Centrifugal Pumps Operation Unlocked – NPSH, Cavitation and Performance Control (SERIES: Pump Fundamentals Unlocked)
Centrifugal Pumps Operation Unlocked – NPSH, Cavitation and Performance Control is a practical, engineering‑focused webinar that addresses the most critical operating challenges that impact pump reliability, efficiency, and service life.
This webinar provides a clear, practical understanding of NPSH, cavitation, and suction conditions, explaining why cavitation occurs, how it damages pumps, and how it can be prevented through correct system design and operation.
Participants will learn how suction pressure, elevation, vapor pressure, and friction losses combine to determine NPSH available and safe operating limits.
The session also explores pump performance adjustment and control strategies, including throttling, bypass control, impeller trimming, and variable speed operation.
Using affinity laws and control curves, the webinar compares constant speed and variable speed control modes such as constant flow, constant pressure, proportional pressure, and temperature‑based control.
Attendees will gain the insight needed to select appropriate control methods, reduce energy consumption, prevent cavitation, and operate pumps safely within their allowable and preferred operating ranges.
This webinar is ideal for professionals responsible for day‑to‑day pump operation, system control, troubleshooting, and performance optimization in industrial, utility, and building services environments.
Professionals Who Would Be Interested in Attending
