Hi guys ,

 

Anyone can confirm and explain that the use of a priming tank before an end suction pump will increase the NPSH ?  

 

Thanks

Steve,

 

Can you clarify a bit more and upload a simple sketch of the system you described?

Hi Steve,

The priming pot is there to guarantee that the suction line is full of liquid  , to prevent vapor lock !

Hope this helps
