USE OF INDUCERS IN LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASAND CONDENSATE SERVICE FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE

摘要

The inducer is a very small booster pump, lifting the suctionpressure to a sufficient level for the main conventional impeller. By adding the inducer to high speed centrifugal pumps, NPSHr can bereduced to a great extent. Liquid with high gas content can bepumped successfully with inducer equipped pumps. Even lowNPSHr allows a smaller, higher speed low horsepower pump,saving energy and capital cost.
