Why Do Centrifugal Pumps Lose Pressure?
A decline in centrifugal pump performance over time is one of the most common issues in industrial systems. Pressure loss reduces system efficiency and increases energy costs.
🔍 Main Causes:
- Worn impeller
- Clogged filter or pipeline
- Air entrainment (early cavitation)
- Incorrect pump selection
⚠️ Consequences:
- Reduced flow rate
- Increased motor load
- Higher energy consumption
🎯 Solution:
- Regular maintenance
- Proper capacity selection
- System inspection
👉 Accurate analysis is critical in systems experiencing pressure loss.
