4. Flow Rate refers to the volume of
fluid that a pump can move within
a given time, typically expressed
in units of (m3/sec).
Head refers to the energy imparted to
the fluid by the pump, typically
expressed in units of meters or feet
Efficiency measures the
effectiveness of a pump in
converting input power into
useful hydraulic power
NPSH is a critical parameter that ensures
proper pump operation and prevents
cavitation, a phenomenon characterized by
the formation of vapor bubbles in the pump
due to low fluid pressure.
14. Case Study: Emergency Seawater Circulation Pump Replacement for Subsea Support Vessel
Customer: Ship Repair Company
Application: Seawater circulating pump
Equipment Supplied: Close coupled side channel pump
Customer Location: UK
Enquiry
On a Friday just before closing, Castle Pumps received an enquiry from a large
repair company whose customer
A subsea support vessel, had contacted them with a really urgent requirement
pump.
15. Case Study: Emergency Seawater Circulation Pump Replacement for Subsea Support Vessel
Key challenges:
•The urgent lead time of just 3 days
•And it was the weekend, when the business is usually
Solution
Castle Pumps hold a number of our most popular pump models in stock, so
Within twenty minutes of receiving this enquiry, they were able to see which of
our ‘from stock’ models matched their requirements and
thus three centrifugal pump options were presented to the customer.

17. As we've explored in this
presentation, understanding
the key performance
parameters, essential for
optimizing pump performance
and minimizing energy
consumption.
CONCLUSION
Critical factors in ensuring the efficient and reliable
operation of fluid handling systems across various
industries.
We've discussed the environmental impacts of pump
operation and strategies for mitigating these effects.
Emphasizing the importance of sustainability and
responsible resource management in pump system
design and operation.
