Eccentric reducers are typically installed at the centrifugal process pump suction nozzles in order to facilitate proper transition from the the larger diameter low flow velocity, moderate friction loss suction piping to the pump suction nozzle. Liquid and vapor could potentially be stratified and a concentric reducer could trap the vapor in the top of the suction line. A reducer is a constriction and requires careful design to avoid both turbulence and the creation of pockets where air or vapour might collect. The fluid operational tests indicate that the sudden contraction continues to keep flow in the laminar region and, on some application, reduces friction loss across the suction piece as compared to the standard tapered eccentric reducer.

Using eccentric reducers for centrifugal pump suction piping. Why do we install eccentric reducers before centrifugal pump. Apr 04, 2016 thanks for a2a there are many reasons that make it essential to use reducer fittings in pump suction pipe work. Eccentric reducers are traditionally recommended for the pump suction reducer fitting to allow for transportation of air through the fitting to the pump. This reducer prevents air to accumulate at the upstream end of the reducer.
To avoid air being trapped, the eccentric reducer is to be installed with the flat side up. This manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of patterson pump end suction pumps. Why to use eccentric reducers in pump suction piping. In such cases, straight horizontal pipe between reducer and pump suction should be kept to a minimum. Oct 19, 2009 the function of suction piping is to supply an evenly distributed flow of liquid to the pump suction typically by providing the suction side with a straight run of pipe, in a length equivalent to 5 to 10 times the diameter of that pipe, between the suction reducer and the first obstruction in the line, with sufficient pressure to the pump to avoid cavitation, and related damage, in the. Eccentric reducers in pump suction piping facilitate proper transition from the the larger diameter suction piping to the smaller pump suction nozzle. Grundfos offers a wide selection of end suction pumps in a wide range of materials and configurations to fit your application needs. Eccentric reducers at pump suctions which orientation. The right pump suction pipe size is a compromise between cost bigger pipes are more expensive and excessive friction loss small pipes cause high friction loss and will affect the pump performance. Where the suction pipe and pump suction flange are not of the same size, they shall be connected with an eccentric tapered reducer or increaser installed in such a way as to avoid air pockets when the size of the suction piping is different than the suction flange of the pump an eccentric reducer needs to be installed.
Guidelines for pump system designers jacques chaurette p. The practice of a reducer upclose to the suction of a pump is not a mystery to me. Eccentric reducer is recommended for horizontal flow to the pump. Ssp rotary lobe pumps 14 series d when a 316 stainless steel pump is beyond necessity the series d from ssp rotary lobe pumps offer great pumping all over industry. When properly installed and when given reasonable care and maintenance, centrifugal pumps should operate satisfactorily for a long period of time. Any high point in the suction pipe will become filled with air and thus prevent proper operation of the pump. Eccentric reducer at pump suction cr4 discussion thread. Lyn and tornado, piping up to pump suction nozzle is of 24, as the existing pump nozzle was 24. The suction guide connects same size piping to the pump suction, but can also connect to inlet piping one size larger than the pump suction, eliminating a reducing elbow.
An eccentric reducer with the flat side on top is typically the prescribed reducer to be used. Eccentric reducers are used at the suction side of pumps to ensure air does not accumulate in the pipe. Entrained vapor bubbles could then migrate back into the source instead of staying near the pump suction. Pumps create a partial vacuum letting pumps create a partial vacuum letting atmospheric or positive source pressure force liquid into a lower pressure area of the pump. Series d pumps offer lower installation cost compared to other pump technologies.
