💦 Suction Settings Explained We use suction for more than one reason! We use it to clear secretions and clear upper and even lower airways. We also use suction with the GI tract. Depending on the use, the suction settings change. Respiratory Settings = Higher suction: Adults

Difference between Negative Suction Head Pump and Positive suction Head Pump ‼️ ✅ Negative Suction Head: - Water level is *above* the pump centerline. - Provides additional pressure at the suction side. - Typically beneficial for pump operation. *Positive Suction Head:* - Water level is *below* the pump centerline. - Pump needs to *lift* water to reach the suction side. - Requires more energy and careful design to avoid cavitation. #SuctionHead #PumpOperation #Hydraulics #PumpDesign #FluidMechan

*Why Pump Suction Pipe is Bigger than Discharge* - *Reason*: - *Reducing friction loss*: A larger suction pipe reduces friction loss and ensures a steady flow of fluid to the pump. - *Preventing cavitation*: A larger suction pipe helps to prevent cavitation by reducing the velocity of the fluid and increasing the pressure at the pump inlet. - *Ensuring sufficient NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head)*: A larger suction pipe helps to ensure that the pump receives sufficient NPSH, which is essential fo
