Leopharma pump adjustment.

In 2018, Copenhagen Pump was contacted in prior to the operation of a newly built cooling section.

At startup, the entire plant was noisy and shaking dangerously and had to be stopped immediately. Neither an adviser, pump manufacturer nor construction builder could immediately solve the challenge. In cooperation with the construction owner, we agreed to deliver a day project. We reviewed the plant on site and determined the location of components, construction cots and derived pumping conditions. We recalculated the system hydraulically and adjusted the pump to the best operating point (BEP).

Our day project was completed with a report that provided the necessary recommendations and calculations for safe operation.

Our delivery was only advice, which ensured that the existing technical choices could be maintained with few necessary adjustments.

We are very pleased that we were able to help the customer through a very kristic phase in their project. The measures previously proposed and approved would have been unnecessary and costly. The customer's subsequent feedback was that we had saved them "a lot" of money.

General recommendation for pump installation:

Note:

Pumps should always be installed with the possibility of monitoring the pressure locally at the pump. If necessary, with pump protection against dry running and operation against closed shut-off valve. Centrifugal pumps cannot normally withstand working unladen and must always be adjusted to BEP (best operating point) by operating. For energy and service reasons, it is often a good idea for pumps to be installed with drives.

Please contact us for a dialogue about your installation and start-up.
