Hi!You should not reduce the suction side ,only the discharge,ohtervise the pump will cavitate.The 5 ' rise should be ok but try to limit you're elbowes specially right after the discharge! ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Foran<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2005 2:53 PM Subject: [Biofuel] Bio Diesel Pump
Before I ask my question, I did search the archives but did not find any information regarding my "specific question". I am building a BD processor - based on the appelseed design - and I intend to use a Northern Industiral Clear water Pump - 760GPH, 1 1/2in ports. I would like to neck the ports down to 3/4 in, but not being a plumber or fluid mechanic, I wanted to know if this would case and pressure problem. I will be processing 40gallons (US). The static head will be approx 5ft. Any help would be appreciated. tks, Larry _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel<http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel> Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html<http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html> Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/<http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/> _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
