A set of quick, reliable scaling rules can save hours in pump selection meetings and prevent expensive trial and error in the field. The pump affinity laws do exactly that for centrifugal, rotodynamic...
Engineers rarely struggle with the idea of “head,” but many systems fail on the arithmetic and sign conventions. A correct total dynamic head calculation turns a messy piping sketch, a few elevations,...
Las plantas industriales, minas, granjas y empresas de agua dependen de bombas, y la mayoría de ellas consumen más energía de la necesaria. Ajustar la manera en que un sistema de bombeo está dimension...
Every pump delivers what its hydraulics and the connected piping allow, not what the nameplate promises. Real savings and reliability come from placing the operating point where the pump and the syste...
Most facilities think of pumps as background machinery. They run, they move fluid, and they quietly absorb a large share of the electric bill. When engineers examine utility records and operating data...
New engineers face the same early design decision again and again: should the station be arranged with pumps in parallel vs series? The choice sets the performance envelope, shapes the system curve in...
Every centrifugal pump student hears about cavitation early, yet the path back to root causes often loops through one concept: NPSH. Here is npsh explained in practical terms, with the minimum math ne...
Pump performance curves look intimidating at first glance, yet they are among the most practical tools for sizing, troubleshooting, and operating pumps; understanding them is easier when pump curves...
Just as a finely tuned engine requires precision, pump packing is essential for maintaining peak pump performance and sealing efficiency.
For engineers and technicians, mastering the art of pump pack...
¿La cavitación está mermando el rendimiento y la fiabilidad de su bomba?
La cavitación es una amenaza silenciosa. Puede reducir el rendimiento de la bomba, aumentar las vibraciones y el ruido, y prov...
Is cavitation eroding your pump’s performance and reliability?
Cavitation is a silent threat. It can reduce pump efficiency, increase vibration and noise, and lead to severe damage to the impeller, c...
Centrifugal pumps are fundamental in various industrial applications, yet often their efficiency is not maximized, causing higher operational costs and energy consumption.
This poses a challenge.
Op...
