The DOE began the process to regulate clean-water rotodynamic pumps in 2011, with the goal of reducing the overall demand for energy in the United States. Leaders in the pump industry, through the HI, ...

It is in the interest of regulators, engineers, architects, and system owners to find the most efficient paths to pump system solutions, particularly in the power generation sector. The rising tide of ...

Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

The following article is designed to help you realize significant savings through pump energy and flow balance analysis. It is a universally accepted fact that pumps are oversized for almost all ...

Times have changed. Not long ago, baseload units came online and went straight to full load for days on end. Now, those same units are being asked to cycle operations to accommodate for variable ...

Metaphorically speaking, pumps are the heart of any system that handles fluids. Pumps are the second most common piece of machinery used in general industry. Pumps use mechanical forces to move fluids ...

If you work with electric motors and pumps, you’ll eventually encounter a pump curve and one of its key parameters — best efficiency point (BEP). The BEP is the point on the curve where the pump ...

Traditional sucker rod pumps (SRP) use a single traveling valve, but recent double traveling valve innovations have improved SRP performance and efficiency in field applications with double traveling ...
