Install Condition Monitoring Technology
There are a number of things you can try to prevent cavitation. You can re-evaluate the piping design leading to the pump, ensure the pump is running at its best efficiency point, among others. But there is also technology available for cavitation prevention. For more info talk to our engineer in water pump dubai.
Use Gauges:
Installing gauges within your pump system is always a good monitoring option. You can reference the gauges to understand where the pump is on the curve. If it is starting to fall off track, your pump might be having a cavitation problem that requires investigation.
Check Filters For Reduced Flow
Clogged filters are a common cause of cavitation issues. As debris and particulates gather in the filter, NPSHA is reduced if the pump is not sized correctly.
Shutting down production to clean filters and strainers isn’t exactly convenient either. However, there are ways around this.
Automatic self-cleaning filters like Eaton’s DCF and MCF series are popular choices for processes where production can’t be stopped. Self-cleaning filters are great because, as the name suggests, they clean themselves. Once installed, they automatically filter any solids or debris from whatever liquid you are pumping. They are known to improve pump efficiency while requiring minimal operator intervention. Click to see a video on how self cleaning filters work.

A duplex strainer, also known as a twin-basket strainer, filters and removes large particles of dirt or debris from liquid pumping systems. They never require downtime for cleaning because a valve is placed between the two baskets, changing the flow of liquid to one strainer while the other is being cleaned.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as they say, so it’s best to properly size your pump from the beginning and ensure the piping design fits the application.
But we know that flows and processes change over time, creating an unintentional chain of events that can sometimes cause a cavitation problem where there wasn’t one before. Take advantage of the technology now available to properly manage and monitor the pumps in your facility.
