← ScienceWhich increased risk arises when exceeding a centrifugal pump's reliable operating flow?
A)Increased impeller blade erosion✓
B)Higher motor winding temperature
C)Reduced net positive suction head
D)Decreased pump body efficiency
💡 Explanation
Exceeding reliable flow creates turbulent flow leading to cavitation erosion of impeller blades because increased fluid velocities promote localized collapsing vapor bubbles; therefore impeller erosion is the outcome, rather than motor overheating which results from overload.
