Priming a deepwell pump is a simple matter of opening the pump well suction valve and venting the upper level of the pump well to allow the pumping stages to fill with liquid. Once a deepwell pump has established suction, it will re-prime itself until the tank is completely empty. Because of the re-priming feature, it is more difficult to damage the pump by running it ‘dry’.
Priming a centrifugal pump is a little more difficult. It must be carefully filled with cargo before being started and when started must be carefully checked to ensure that cargo is moving through it.
If suction is lost while discharging, a centrifugal pump will not re-prime itself and the pump cannot normally be re-primed while running. It is necessary to stop the pump before it can be refilled with cargo and restarted. Centrifugal pumps are re-primed by stopping the pump and opening the vent valve at the top of the pump casing. When the vapour escaping from the vent line is replaced by a steady stream of cargo the pump is primed and ready to restart.
If a centrifugal pump is fitted with a vapour/air extraction device it should be placed in operation when the cargo level is low, before the main cargo pump is expected to begin losing suction, and operated continuously until the pump suction is finally switched to a full tank.
Centrifugal pumps depend on a continuous flow of cargo for cooling. They can be quickly damaged due to overheating if they are run ‘dry’, so they must be stopped as soon as it is suspected that suction has been lost. The impellers operate on very small clearances within the pump casing. If allowed to overheat, the impeller may contact the casing, causing physical damage or additional friction, heat and an explosion.
