often, a line in a plant is modified and the pump that started out providing cooling fluid to an
injection molding machine is now asked to move oil from a rail car to a tank. Sadly, this causes
numerous problems for the pump and the plant. Pumps operate where the pump curve crosses the
system curve. If you relocate a pump from one system to another, this means that the system curve
is different. This new system may cause the pump to operate away from its best efficiency point,
leading to seal failures and other component failures that are simply symptoms of a mis-matched
pump and system.February 1999 as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. In 2004, he

Consider several basic changes that can be madeto a classical
centrifugal or positive displacement pump. Beginning with pumps with overhung impellers,
replacing oil pump components the shaft with a solid one is a desirable upgrade instead of the more
common sleeved shafts. Mechanical seals should be improved upon by changing to silicon carbide
faces, and elastomers can be replaced with EPDM. Finally, magnetic bearing protectors will be a
huge step upover the lip seals which most industrial pumps rely on to keep bearing sump oil clean.
