Avoiding Pump Cavitation in Open Systems: How to Determine NPSHA and NPSHR

Avoiding Pump Cavitation in Open Systems: How to Determine NPSHA and NPSHR

In our previous blog we explained the physics behind that noisy, destructive phenomenon known as cavitation – the result of too little NPSH at the suction of the pump. Today we’re going to dig a little deeper into…

How to Pick a Cooling Tower: Comparing Open and Closed Loop Towers

“Would my project be better served by an open loop cooling tower or a closed loop cooling tower?”

It’s a question that anyone in the early stages of designing a hydronic system that requires heat rejection is certain to ask. The answer is partly intuitive but also based o…
