The problem is as follows...

A Cryogenic submerged pump from NIKKISO with flowrate 200m3/h used for propane circulation, which from the beginning has a noise like cavitation while there is no fluctuation in discharge pressure and electrical amp. It is necessary to mention this point that by limiting the suction valve the noise is solved.

 

Based on the pump document, the 3” nozzle on the top of the suction pot shall has permanent vent around 21 kg/min flowrate. This is while in reality, nozzle connected to flare system with normally closed valve.

So, if that noise is related to ventilation system, could anyone possibly tell us how should be the right network system and the destination of the vent.

Vapor space above liquid level of a suction vessel

[heydari]

How do you do that?

While the pressure in vent nozzle is like suction pressure

How I do what?

We connect vent to vapor space of a chamber where the liquid is pumped from.

 

 

While the pressure in vent nozzle is like suction pressure

Correct. Pressure in vent nozzle is equal suction pressure.

 

Now C3 vapors backflows to suction chamber through suction line. Now you have 2 flows in suction line simultaneously - liquid goes downward, vapors go upward. This :

- drastically reduces NPSHA, or

- forces liquid level oscillating, or 

- reduces liquid level in suction pot and causes bubbles entrainment and cavitation

 

To avoid this you need to balance pressure and liquid level in pump suction pot and vessel suction chamber.

Hi,

Did you contact the vendor and ask about the recycling of the vent?

Hi MR. Breizh

because of some considerations NIKKISO doesn`t answer.

My solution is attached but I'm not sure!

Hi,

Follow Shvet1's recommendation and route the vent to the sky of the storage tank. The driving force is the static head of liquid in the storage tank.

Why do you need the vent flow rate calibrated, it will be what it will be, based on pipe size and head loss?

I don't understand the part with ejector and compressor.

You need to keep your process simple; this is a vent line!
