INTRODUCTION
❖ Our evolution can be traced back to the year 1948.
❖ From modest water pump supplier to an electro-
mechanical solution provider, this monumental
transformation has made VEMC pioneer in the field of
electromechanical engineering products, allied
equipment & services.
❖ VEMC in today’s time, provides complete fluid and
energy management solutions for a wide array of
projects into Water Supply, Power Plants, Irrigation, Oil &
Gas, Industries, Building & Construction etc.
❖ Our level of expertise has evolved from supply of water
utility pumps toward handling turnkey projects (installing
electromechanical systems), rendering allied service like
Project energy audits, Corrocoat etc.

What is a pump
• Pump is defined as a Device which converts the
mechanical energy into the hydraulic energy with
the help of a prime mover i.e Motor,Engine etc.

Pump Fundamentals
and Selection
• Flow capacity: Flow Capacity is the volume of liquid pumped out in one unit of time.
• Head: Head is the expression of the total energy content of the liquid
referred to a datum.
• Characteristic Curves: The performance of a centrifugal pump can be shown
graphically on a characteristic curve
• Viscosity: Viscosity is the quantity that describes a fluid's resistance to flow
• Temperature: It is the temperature of the liquid to be pumped by the pump.
• Ph value: The Nature of the liquid is determined by its Ph value.(acidic nature of
water,ph value=7)
• Solid Handling Size: The Size of the particles in the liquid which is to be pumped.
• Shut Off Head: Shut-off head is the maximum head generated by a centrifugal
pump with zero flow and relatively less power.
5/19/2021
AMCPL

Net Positive
Suction Head
• Net positive suction head is the total
energy (head ) at the inlet nozzle of
pump (in relation to zero absolute
pressure ) head of liquid ,at pumping
temperature corresponding to vapor
pressure of the liquid.
• NPSH(A):The net positive suction
head available is a function of the
pump suction system.
• NPSH(R):The net positive suction
head required is a function of the
pump design at the operating point
on the pump performance curve.
• NPSH(A) >NPSH(R)
5/19/2021
AMCPL

NPSH
Available NPSHA = (ha)+/– (hss) – (hfs) –(hvpa)
ha = Atmospheric head corresponding to standard
atmosphere
hss = static suction head
hfs = frictional losses in suction pipe
hvpa = vapour pressure of liquid at standard temperature
and pressure
5/19/2021
AMCPL

•Any Centrifugal pump is
theoretically designed only for
a single flow - at its best
efficiency point (BEP).

NPSHr
Desirable Operation Zone
of a centrifugal pump
•At the time of selection, the
duty point is selected as close
as possible to BEP.
•It is always desirable to operate
the pump near to BEP for best
performance, longer life &
reliability. Operation away from
BEP has its own disadvantages.
•Desirable operation zone of a
pump is normally 50 % to 120 %
of BEP. These values , however,
may change from model to model.

A FM/UL set consist of the following
❖Diesel pumpset (including pump-end, FM/UL
approved diesel engine, 8 hour double-walled fuel
tank*, Two 12v or 24v lead acid batteries to avoid
starting failure, LCD colour display controller, suction
and discharge pressure gauges and air release valve.)
❖Remote Alarm Panel (for monitoring of signals
remote from the pumphouse)
❖Black Box monitoring pump performance used to
understand the pump working or failure after fire
scenario
❖*Please note an 8 hour double-walled fuel tank is as
per the requirements in Factory Mutual Data Sheets.
Within NFPA20 a single-walled fuel tank size to 5.07
litres per kW is acceptable, which is also available
upon request.

COMPARISON FM/UL & NON
FM/UL
Sr. No FM/UL Non FM/UL
1 Pump set fully comply to American
standard NFPA-20 accordingly pump,
engine ,controller and many other
components are FM approved and UL
listed gave more reliability of operation
at any point of time.
Not comply to NFPA-20
2 Pump with fm/ul auto air release valve Normal vent valve.
3 Pump design to fulfill the requirement of
NFPA-20.
1) Non over loading power characteristic.
2) Impeller design for 15 feet suction lift.
3)Casing design to withstand 75psi suction
pressure, minimum 250 psi hydro
pressure and minimum 400 psi rupture
pressure.
4) Shut off head upto 140% of duty
head(proper utilization of Jocky pump.)
Not necessarily comply this
requirement and hence standard
design of impeller and casing.
4 Coupling used is fail safe coupling ,this allow
the smooth running of pump, even if
flexible element of coupling fails, pump
will run with engagement of jaws giving
more reliability of operation.
Standard coupling
5 Selection of prime mover based on
maximum power requirement on entire
Prime mover selection is based on
120% of duty point bhp or at 150%

9 Controller
a) 2 Battery chargers- allows two ways of charging
the battery ,one from engine and other from
controller.
b)Inbuilt pressure switch-automatic operation of
pump when pressure drops.
c)Weekly programmer which allows automatic
running of pump for half an hour once in a week
,thus always make pump prepared for working.
d) Pressure recorder – keep the record of pump
operation.
No such controller we provide with either
