What Happens When a CDLF Multistage Pump Operates Away from Its Design Point?
What Happens When a CDLF Multistage Pump Operates Away from Its Design Point? CDLF vertical multistage pumps are widely used in water supply systems, boiler feed applications, industrial circulation, and pressure boosting. They are known for high head, compact structure, and stable performance. However, in real-world operation, many pumps do not run at their original design point for long periods of time. At first, everything seems normal. But long-term operation away from the design condition can gradually affect efficiency, stability, and service life.

Every multistage pump has a Best Efficiency Point (BEP) defined by: Rated flow Rated head Optimal hydraulic balance When the actual operating flow is consistently lower or higher than this range, the pump is considered to be running off-design. This does not immediately cause failure — but it ...
