Abstract
In general, the presence of free air (or any other gas) in the pumped liquid always adversely affects centrifugal pump performance. One negative aspect of the presence of free air has been discussed earlier in the section on priming (Chapter 1). However, even when a pump has been primed properly, free air can appear during operation and disrupt the performance of the pump.
