What is Understanding Pump Cavitation Causes about?
Cavitation occurs in centrifugal pumps when the impeller rotates without transferring liquid, such as when there is low oil flow or an oil/gas mix. Insufficient cargo levels can also cause cavitation as gas is drawn into the pump room. Cargoes with high volatility or low viscosity are more prone to cavitating pumps during discharge operations. When cavitation occurs and suction is lost, the centrifugal pump can overspeed and be damaged if the situation is not immediately rectified, such as by reducing pump
