Download. The majority of installed pumps were not initially sourced for their current use. Typically,
a submersible pumps line in a plant changes and the pump that once providedcooling water to an
injection molding machine is now needed to move oil from a rail car to a tank. All too often, this is
the cause of quite a few problems for the pump and the plant. Pumps operate where the pump curve
crosses the system curve. If you relocate a pump from one system to another, this means that
waterpumps the system curve is different. This new system may cause the pump to operate away
from its best efficiency point, leading to seal failures and other component failures that are simply
symptoms of a mis-matched pump and system.PDF
