Other Considerations<br />

• Nozzle Velocities – typical limits<br />

- suction < 20 ft/s<br />

- discharge < 40 ft/s<br />

• Q-rated & Q-normal relative to BEP<br />

- typically Q-rated = Q-normal x 1.1, but sometimes<br />

(eg. reflux service) Q-rated = Q-normal x 1.25<br />

- best is to straddle BEP with Q-normal <strong>and</strong> Q-rated,<br />

especially if Q-rated >> Q-normal<br />

- need to consider: NPSHa, min flow<br />
