Pump System Design for 150°F Water

Hot water is pumped from a basement collection tank at an elevation of 2800 feet above sea level. The pump must move 500 US gallons per minute of water at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, including 100 gallons branching off the discharge side. Components like a filter and heat exchanger will cause pressure drops of 3 and 5 psi respectively. The control valve drop is equivalent to 10 feet of fluid. The preliminary design must select a pump to meet these requirements.

Problem Statement (Summary of Client/Customer Specified Requirements)

Water at 150 °F is to be pumped from a collecting tank located at the basement level
(elevation 2800' above sea level). Both the suction and discharge tanks have a square
section (6'L x 6'W x 10'H), the overflow level is at 8' from the bottom of the tanks. The
flow through the pump is 500 US gpm and it is located on the basement floor. There is a
filter on the suction line and a heat exchanger on the discharge side of the pump. The
manufacturer of the filter specifies that there will be a pressure drop of 3 psi at 500 gpm.
The manufacturer of the heat exchanger specifies that there will be a pressure drop of 5
psi at 500 gpm. There is a branch on the discharge side of the pump that requires 100
gpm. The control valve pressure head drop will be 10' of fluid. All the manual valves are
fully open butterfly valves.
