After the by-pass flow has been determined along with the pump shut off head, the proper orifice size can be determined from the orifice selection chart. Example: By-pass flow determination Given a 1.5 x 3 x 9 - 431 pump with a 7.25" diameter impeller and handling 210F water. From the performance curve at 3500 RPM, note that the shut-off head is approximately 400 feet and the shut-off horsepower (HPSO) is 9.0 BHP. For water temperature of 210F, hold the temperature rise to 3F rise.

By-Pass G.P.M. =
From the orifice flow chart at 400 feet shut-off and 16 G.P.M. by-pass flow, a 1/4" orifice is selected. When the G.P.M. falls between two orifice sizes, select the larger size. Note: Since the by-pass flow thru an orifice is continuous, regardless of boiler demand, this flow must be added to the maximum boiler demand to determine the design capacity for sizing of the boiler feed pump. For typical boiler manufacturers, this is normally accounted for in their basic selection data. Also be aware that these calculations are typical only and that a specific application may require adjustment due to minimal N.P.S.H. availability.
By-Pass G.P.M. =
Since most boiler feed pumps operate against a closed modulating valve for short periods of time, the following temperature ranges and temperature rises are recommended.
For temperatures to 130F Temperature rise of 15 degrees. For temperatures over 130F to 200F Temperature rise of 10 degrees. For Temperatures over 200F Temperature rise of 2 to 4 degrees maximum.

This table may be used as an aid in specifying Aurora Regenerative Turbine or Centrifugal pumps for boiler feed and condensate service. Keep in mind that the G.P.M. values will be fairly accurate for continuous operation with centrifugal pumps. For intermittent (On-Off) regenerative turbines, the capacity requirement should be multiplied by 2-3 to allow the pump to operate only 1/2 to 1/3 of the time.
