run off

English to Spanish Other Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Alguien me puede ayudar con este verbo en este contexto? Habla de bombas.

If the amp draw is high, it could be caused by a number of different problems. High amps means it runs for a few minutes and trips the overload. High amps gives a lot to look at. It could be mechanical drag, debris in the pump, or changes in water tables with submersible pumps. You could be running an open discharge or **running off** the pump curve. There could be insufficient back pressure or electrical damage to the wire or windings.

Mil gracias!!

agree JohnMcDove : Tienes toda la razón, lo malentendí en mi primera respuesta. Aunque yo lo redactaría como “exceder los parámetros de la curva de rendimiento de la bomba", o algo por el estilo.

purgar/sacar

Run off = sacar (hablando de líquidos)

(DRAE – Dict. Real Academia Española)
Purgar 6. tr. Sacar el aire u otro fluido en un circuito de un aparato o máquina para su buen funcionamiento.

Merriam Websters da:
run off 2 : to cause (as molten metals) to flow away : draw off : drain off
O sea, “sacar, extraer”.
En tu contexto parece como “purgar” si se trata de un tubo o un conducto.

Random House Websters: 111 run off d. to drive away; expel.

¡UY! ¡QUÉ METEDURA DE PATA!

Juan tiene toda la razón. No es “run off” como expresión sino “run - off”, es decir “EXCEDER LOS LÍMITES DE LA CURVA de RENDIMIENTO de la bomba”.


PUMP CURVE
Also called a pump performance curve - A graph that represents a pump's water flow capacity at any given resistance.
What is a pump curve?
Also called a pump performance curve; a pump curve is a graph that represents a pump's water flow capacity at any given resistance. The curve on a bar graph that shows the performance characteristics of a pump. Variables include size, flow rate and resistance.

You could be running an open discharge or **running off** the pump curve. There could be insufficient back pressure or electrical damage to the wire or windings.

Podrías estar teniendo una pérdida sin restricción o excediendo los parámetros [índices] de la curva de rendimiento de la bomba.
