Inquiry (采购产品): Submergence Hello, I am a piping engineer currently working on an expansion of the Collahuasi mill & concentrator. The pumps which pump SAG Mill slurry from pump box to hydrocyclones have to be changed. The pump box floor is 2,5 m higher than the suction centerline. Pump box height from floor to top is 4,5 m. Suction is 34" downward from the pump box floor, than it turns horizontal into the pump. Flow is 8200 m3/h per pump. Question: hydraulic submergence - as calculated per HI standard - is 3,5 m from pump box floor upwards. That leaves very little usable volumen for regulation purposes. Does the calculation per HI of submergence apply to slurrys? There is a LOT of turbulence in the pump box. I would assume that dealing with slurrys submergence should be lower than in pure water. Hope you could give me an answer.
