Problems of Centrifugal Pumps
- Cavitation—the net positive suction head (NPSH) of the system is too low for the selected pump
- Wear of the Impeller—can be worsened by suspended solids
- Corrosion inside the pump caused by the fluid properties
- Overheating due to low flow
- Leakage along rotating shaft
- Lack of prime—centrifugal pumps must be filled (with the fluid to be pumped) in order to operate
- Surge
