I have an orfice detla P problem which is downstream condesnate return pump.
I did the P-67711A(condensate return pump) hydraulic calculation
and got the discharge pressure = 12 barg. And, I also got delta P=2 barg of
the 677-LV-003 (condesner hotwell level control valve). If the level goes low
, this can result in damaging the condensate pump(P-67711A). If the water level
goes high, the pressure in the condenser will increase, which can result in damaging
the trubine.
My question is the FO-004 (red cloud in the secend attached pdf file) downstream
of P-67711A. I found the delta P=1 barg of FO-004 from liciencer datasheet
which seems incorrect because the discharge pressure=12 barg of P-67711A and
downstream of FO-004 is about 2 barg.
Could any master give me some help.
Thank you very much.

Why do you think the discharge pressure of the pump (the point at pump discharge) should be equal to pressure at upstream of FO (the point may lacated at a considerable distance/level from the pump discharge)?

If you trust your hydraulic calculation and have concluded that the licensor is wrong about the delta P across FO, why don't you clarify the issue with the licensor?
