Troubleshooting centrifugal pumps and their systems/Устранение неисправностей центробежных насосов и их систем

Издание на английском языке
Those who operate centrifugal pumping machinery sometimes have to deal with the situation where a pumping system fails to perform. The easiest, but most inconvenient and costly solution is to replace the machine. The new edition of Troubleshooting Centrifugal Pumps and their Systems helps analyze the source of the problem which sometimes lies in the system itself and not the pump. It also shows that the pump characteristics can be reconfigured to suit changing conditions. The book provides guidance to those faced with deciding when to withdraw a pump from service for repair and how it should be subsequently treated as well as assist those who feel ill-equipped to try to analyze unsatisfactory pump system behavior.
This book is for those responsible for the selection or daily operation of centrifugal pumping machinery and who might be faced with a situation where a pumping system fails to perform.
