Triplex piston pump performance is optimized by adding a centrifugal auxiliary charge pump to the suction system. Due to its inherent flexibility, the centrifugal prevents hydraulic knock in the triplex cylinders and provides several other advantages all at a relatively low cost. A guide to charge pump selection, installation and operation is provided.
