    1. FLUID FLOW FUNDAMENTALS

    The following properties and concepts are useful when analyzing a fluid that is going to be handled

    with a UNIBLOCpump.

    DENSITY is mass per unit volume and changes inversely with temperature, i.e. density decreases as

    temperature increases.

    SI units: Density (kg/ m3) = mass (kg) / volume (m

    3)

    Standard units: Density (lbs./ ft3) = mass (lbs.) / volume (ft

    3)

    SPECIFIC GRAVITY, S.G., is the ratio of a fluids density to the density of water.

    SI units: S.G. = Fluid Density (kg/ m3) / 1000 (kg/ m

    3)

    Standard units: S.G. = Fluid Density (lbs./ ft3) / 62.4 (lbs./ ft

    3)

    TEMPERATURE is a measure of a fluids internal energy.

    SI units:0C

    Standard units:0F

    ABSOLUTE VISCOSITY is a measure of the fluids resistance to a shear force.

    It is determined by measuring the force needed to rotate a spindle suspended in the

    fluid. It decreases as temperature increases.

    SI units: kg/ms

    Standard units: cPs

    KINEMATIC VISCOSITY is a measure of the time it takes a fluid to travel, by

    the force of gravity, through a vertical tube over a certain distance.

    SI units: Kinematic Viscosity (m2/s) = Absolute Viscosity (kg/ms) /

    Density (kg/ m3)

    Standard units: Kinematic Viscosity (ft/s) = Absolute Viscosity (cPs) / Density

    (lbs./ ft3)

    STATIC HEAD is the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest.

    FRICTION HEAD is the loss in pressure or energy due to friction.

    PRESSURE HEAD is pressure (psig or bar) expressed as head (ft. or meters).

    DISCHARGE HEAD is the pressure at a pumps outlet.

    TOTAL HEAD is the pressure difference between a pumps inlet and outlet.

    SUCTION HEAD is the inlet pressure of a pump when above atmospheric.

    SUCTION LIFT is the inlet pressure of a pump when below atmospheric.

    FLUID TYPES

    Newtonian Fluids exhibit no change in viscosity as the shear rate,

    velocity, changes. They include such fluids as water, mineral oil, and

    syrups.

    Non-Newtonian Fluids include several types whose viscosities vary as the shear rate, velocity, changes.

    Plastic Fluids require an initial force, or yield point, at which they will

    begin to flow.

    Pseudo Plastic Fluids decrease rapidly in viscosity as the shear rate,

    velocity, increases. Their viscosity is independent of time.

    Thixotropic Fluids decrease in viscosity, with a constant shear rate,

    over a period of time. They may also have a yield point and show

    pseudo-plastic characteristics. They include paints, inks, gels, lotions,

    and shampoo.

    Dilatent Fluids increase in viscosity as shear rate increases and is

    independent of time. They include clays, oxides, and crystalline

    materials.

    2. FLUID FLOW IN A SYSTEM

    As a fluid moves through a system of tanks, pipes, equipment, valves, and fittings the energy in the

    system is conserved, but changes form. The types of energy are described below.

    KINETIC ENERGY is due to the motion of a fluid.

    = 1/2 x mass x velocity2

    POTENTIAL ENERGY is due to the height of a fluid.

    =height x mass x accel. of gravity

    PRESSURE ENERGY is internal energy of a fluid which could do work.

    MECHANICAL ENERGY is put into the fluid by a pump.

    FRICTIONAL LOSSES represents the energy

    lost due to friction as the liquid moves through

    straight piping, elbows, reductions, valves,

    strainers, heat exchangers and other equipment.

    The diagram below illustrates how energy changes to the different forms as the fluid moves through the

    system.

    PA The starting pressure may be constant atmospheric pressure if the system is open or if it is

    closed, the pressure inside the supply vessel.

    A At the beginning point there is pressure energy, PA, and potential energy due to the elevation of

    the supply vessel above the pump.

    A-B Moving from A to B the potential energy changes to pressure energy.

    B-C Potential energy is further changed to pressure energy. However, some of the pressure energy is

    lost due to friction.

    C-D Additional pressure energy is lost due to pump frictional losses. Then mechanical energy is

    added by the pump and pressure energy rises quickly.

    D-E As the fluid moves to a higher elevation the pressure energy is reduced in the form of frictional

    losses and the remainder changes to potential energy.

  • 7/27/2019 Unibloc Engineering Manual

    8/58

    UNIBLOC-PD

    E-F The remaining pressure energy is changed to potential energy. An analysis of the fluids energy

    at the inlet must be performed to insure that the fluid is able to enter the pump and to also do so with

    enough energy to prevent cavitations. The energy available in the fluid in a system is determined by

    subtracting the fluids vapor pressure from the pressure at the inlet. This Net Inlet Pressure Available

    (NIPA) may be converted to head to give Net Positive Suction Head Available (NPSHA). The

    NPSHA must be higher than the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR).

    The NPSHR is different for each pump size and is also dependent on each pumps components and the

    operating conditions of the system. It can only be determined by testing a pump. If the NPSHA is less

    than the NPSHR the fluid will not enter the pump. If it is high enough to allow fluid into the pump, but

    less than the fluids vapor pressure then cavitations will occur, resulting in noisy pump operation,

    vibration, deterioration of the fluid, pump damage, and damage to other system components. The

    following graphs illustrate under what typical conditions the NPSH values may change. The shade

    area indicates the safe operating range.

    When viscosity is increased the NPSHR and NPSHA is reduced, as

    well as the safe operating area.

    Increasing the pump size decreases the NPSHR and increases the safe

    operating area.

    Reducing the inlet pipe length, fittings, valves, and elbows and

    increasing the inlet pipe diameter reduces friction losses and increases

    the NPSHA, as well as the safe operating area.

    Increasing the inlet pressure by elevating the feed vessel or pressurizing

    it increases the NPSHA and the safe operating area.

    Reducing the pump speed decreases the output capacity and moves the

    running point to a larger safe operating range.

    The illustration above shows an optimized system in which the inlet pressure required has been

    reduced. The short, large diameter inlet pipe reduces friction from point B to C, which is very

    important when highly viscous fluids are being pumped. In such cases a pump with a rectangular inlet,

    which increases the inlet area, is also crucial to proper pump operation.

    UNIBLOC-PD

    The system shown above illustrates the ability of the UNIBLOCpumps to lift liquids. The surface of

    the liquid in the supply tank at left is located below the pump inlet and thus there is no energy to push

    the liquid into the pump. Furthermore, an analysis of the total pressure loss from the tank to the pump

    inlet will yield a negative Net Inlet Pressure Available (NIPA). As a result, a vacuum greater than the

    negative NIPA must be created in the supply line (B-C) in order to lift the liquid and fill the pump.

    Priming the pump in this manner may be accomplished by pressurizing the tank such that the negative

    NIPA is reduced or a positive NIPA is created. The pump may also be run dry to create this vacuum.

    The standard Class C rotors, or special low clearance rotors (i.e. polymer rotors), and specific shaft

    seals must be used in this case. The priming ability can be improved if the pump has some fluid in it.

    This creates a film of liquid between the rotors and the housing, filling the clearances and making the

    pump more efficient. The chart at left shows how the pumps ability to create a low pressure at the

    inlet improves the more liquid it initially has inside the housing.

    3. ROTARY LOBE FUNDAMENTALS

    The UNIBLOC

    pump is a rotary lobe pump that moves fluid by creating a low pressure cavity at the inlet

    side which draws fluid into the pump. The lobes, or rotors, then close the cavity as they turn in the housing.

    As the rotors mesh at the outlet port the fluid is squeezed out of the pump.

    The UNIBLOC

    pump delivers a constant volume over time, with very small pulsations. Other types

    of positive displacement pumps, however, have great variations in the discharge flow which result in

    pulsations with large amplitudes as found with peristaltic pumps or high frequency pulsations as is

    common with gear or multi-lobe pumps.

    The shape of the rotors in

    the UNIBLOC

    pump has

    been designed to maximize

    its efficiency. The long arc

    shape of the rotors makes a

    long seal as it sweeps

    around the rotor housingcavity minimizing slip.

    SLIP, or backflow,in a

    rotary lobe pump is a

    condition in which liquid

    moves backwards from the

    high pressure, outlet, side of

    the pump to the low

    pressure, inlet, side. To prevent galling and wear, the rotors have been designed such that they do not

    touch each other, the housing, or the cover. A thin space is thus created through which fluid may

    move. This movement of fluid is called slip and is an indication of the efficiency of a pump. A pump

    with a higher rate of slip will have less output.

    The slip rate increases very quickly as the clearances increases.

    It is proportional to the clearance cubed (C3).

    Slip decreases quickly as the fluid viscosity increases.

    Slip increases as pressure increases.

  • 7/27/2019 Unibloc Engineering Manual

    15/58

    UNIBLOC-PD

    The energy level (temperature) of the liquid that remains inside

    the pump increases as slip increases.

    The fluid that squeezes through these thin spaces is subject to high shear stress and may damage the

    product if it is sensitive to such a stress. However, such degradation of the product can be minimized o

    or eliminated with the proper pump size and speed.

    The UNIBLOC

    pumps may also be used to meter low viscosity liquids if conditions are suitable. At

    low pressures and high speed the percentage of slip is low compared to the actual amount that exits the

    pump. Therefore, at a constant speed the pump will deliver a constant capacity which can be

    determined by measuring the number of revolutions the pump shaft turns. The system should dedesigned so that its pressure is also constant, as shown below.

    FLUSHED SEALS

    Seals provided with flush housings must be fitted with flushing systems that will cool and lubricate them,

    otherwise the seals will NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. The flushing system also provides a barrier of

    protection between the environment and the pumped media. The o-ring and double o-lip seals may be

    filled with a lubricating grease that is approved for contact with the pumped media instead of using the

    following flushing systems. The piping arrangements and system components are recommended forsatisfactory operation of the seals and to insure containment of the pumped liquid.

    5. SAFETY EQUIPMENT

    RELIEF VALVE

    Positive displacement pumps can develop pressures in

    excess of safe operating parameters if a restriction or

    blockage occurs in the discharge line. An external bypass

    line with a relief valve, as shown at left, is highly

    recommended.

    If such an arrangement is not practical a cover with a relief valve,

    shown at left, is available for all pump sizes except the 200, 250, and

    275. Its bypass flow capacity, however, is much smaller than an

    external line and therefore the fluid that re-circulates through the relief

    valve will heat up very quickly. Also, once the valve openingpressure is reached the bypass and system pressures will increase more

    rapidly than if an external line is used.

    UNIBLOC-PD

    PRESSURE SENSING DEVICES

    Dial pressure and/or vacuum gauges installed at the inlet and outlet of the pump will provide a quick visual

    indication of the status of the system. A pressure switch at the pump outlet is connected to the pumps

    electric motor and will stop the motor in case the system pressure exceeds the set point of the switch.

    Pressure transducers can be coupled to a variable frequency drive which can modulate the speed of the motor

    and the pump thereby controlling the system pressure.

    STRAINERS

    Depending on their size, particles in a product can damage a pump. Open systems may also be at risk for the

    introduction of foreign objects. A properly selected strainer mounted on the pumps inlet side will eliminate

    any materials that could interfere with safe operation. Caution must be used, however, since the strainers

    can fill with debris restricting or blocking flow to the pump.

    ISOLATION VALVES

    Shut off valves mounted on the inlet and outlet sides of the pump will isolate it from the system. The pump

    can then be serviced or removed without having to empty the system.

    CHECK VALVES

    Check valves should be used to prevent backflow since the pumps, when stopped, will allow some liquid and

    air to flow through it.

    6. MOTOR AND DRIVE FUNDAMENTALS

    The following section has been provided to give some brief guidelines when selecting a motor to drive

    the UNIBLOC

    pumps. When making a motor selection the environment in which it will be operating

    must be analyzed as its use may be restricted by government codes. The pumps typically operate

    below the base speeds of most motors and therefore require a speed reducer in conjunction with the

    motor. There are many types of arrangements to drive the pumps, but a direct drive type, shown below,

    is most recommended.

    If a belt drive is to be used, a separate bearing support, as shown below, should be used to prevent

    damage to the pump.

    Drives may be divided into two groups, constant speed and variable speed.

    Constant speed drives are most functional when achieving an exact flow is not critical. They can not

    compensate for changes in system conditions. If the design capacity of the system is an absoluteminimum then the next higher motor speed should be selected. In such a case, the pumps output

    capacity will increase, but so will the system pressure drop and required power. The system should be

    reevaluated to insure that the pump will operate within its design parameters and that the motor can

    supply the additional power. Constant speed drives with belts offer some flexibility to change

    operating speeds by changing the size of the pulley or sheave.

    Variable speed drives are used when the pumps output capacity must be exact. They are able to

    compensate for system changes. Mechanical variable speed drives use belt or friction disc technology

    to vary the speed of the motor. Hydraulic drives provide high torque capabilities over broad speed

    ranges. Pneumatic motors provide a low cost variable speed alternative, but have speed adjustment

    limitations. However, they are particularly useful when explosion proof requirements must be met.Electronic variable speed drives vary the frequency supplied to the AC motor to change its speed.

    They can provide a very wide and accurate range of operating speeds. However, attention must be

    paid to torque requirements since the motor supplied torque changes with speed. An AC motor

    produces the largest torque at its base frequency, normally 60 or 50 Hz. As frequency, or speed,

    decreases, its output torque and power decreases linearly. At low speeds the motor may require

    additional cooling or a motor with a higher power rating may have to be used. When the speed goes

    above the base frequency, power remains constant, but torque decreases slowly.

    7. LABTOPINTEGRATED PUMP SYSTEMS

    Flowtech provides a program of complete pump and drive packages for laboratory scale applications to

    small scale manufacturing. They are compact, plug in the wall, ready to use units incorporating

    variable speed control, gearmotor, and the Flowtech UNIBLOC

    pumps. Capacity ranges from 0.05

    GPM (0.2 LPM) to 50 GPM (189 LPM) are available. These small units have become especially

    popular in many laboratories. They are able to perform at pressures exceeding 45 psig (3 bar) and as aresult have replaced many peristaltic pumps. The integrated pump systems may be operated at the unit

    with a NEMA 4 keypad or from another location by using the speed controllers remote functions.

    These units provide flexibility in any scale up program and once their capacity has been exceeded, the

    largerUNIBLOC

    pumps can then be incorporated. Please contact Flowtech for more information.

    8. PUMP PERFORMANCE DATA

    The data contained in the capacity charts is representative of tests that have been performed on

    many pumps over several years. Due to variations in system conditions and normal manufacture some

    deviation may occur. For this reason, all UNIBLOC

    pumps are factory tested to insure that each

    pump will meet or exceed the application parameters. A test certificate is sent with each pump that

    leaves the factory. The following table should be used as a first estimate of the pump model needed.

    The capacity listed is the highest that a particular size is able to produce. However, the charts must be

    consulted to verify that a pump model will be able to safely accommodate a certain viscosity, pressure,

    speed, and capacity.

    9. PUMP SELECTION PROCEDUE

    In making an initial selection, the following liquid and system parameters must be determined. The

    information may then be used to select the proper pump size using the charts in Section 8.

    - differential pressure between the

    the pump inlet and discharge- liquid viscosity

    - liquid temperature

    - capacity

    Once this initial selection is made,

    other liquid characteristics such

    as whether it is Newtonian or

    nonNewtonian and whether it is

    shear or speed sensitive may be

    necessary to make the final

    selection with a Flowtechrepresentative.

    To illustrate the proper use of the

    charts, the following parameters

    will be used.

    Differential Pressure: 40 psig

    Viscosity: 10 cPs

    Capacity: 20 GPM

    The chart shown at right, found in

    Section 7, is used to find the pumpoperating speed and the required

    horsepower. Beginning with

    viscosity at point 1, find the

    intersection with the applications

    differential pressure at point 2. A

    line drawn parallel to the charts

    pressure gives the viscosity

    adjusted pressure line 3-3. This line intersects the capacity at point 4. A straight line down from this

    point will intersect the speed axis at point 5, which gives an operating speed of 770 rpm. The same line

    intersects the Fluid Power graph at point 6, or 0.5 hp. It also intersects the Viscosity Power graph at

    point 7, or 1.4 hp. Their sum is 1.9 hp and is the minimum power at the pumps drive shaft required tooperate under these conditions.

    The power requirement can also be expressed as torque, which is defined as the moment of forces

    required to turn a pumps drive shaft.

    Torque = F (force) x L (length)

    The torque is calculated using the following formulas.

    T (in-lbs.) = hp x 5250 rpm x 12

    T (Nm) = 0.746 x hp x 9550 rpm

    This torque must not exceed the torque limit of the pump shaft

    shown in the table below. If it does, then a larger pump must be

    selected.
