How cavitation can be eliminated in a pump?



How cavitation can be eliminated in a pump?..

Answer / Dilip Kumar

Cavitation in a pump can be reduced or eliminated by: 1) Reducing the pump speed, 2) Increasing the suction pressure, 3) Ensuring adequate net positive suction head (NPSH), 4) Modifying impeller shape to reduce flow velocity at the suction side, and 5) Installing cavitation protection devices like baffles or diffusers.
