Q: What is an understanding of the load profile of your application essential for?
A: Pump selection
Q: What is an understanding of the load profile of your application essential for?
A: Your power bill
Q: What is an understanding of the load profile of your application essential for?
A: Water composition
Q: What does a P2-curve measure?
A: The relation between the power supplied and the power used
Q: What does a P2-curve measure?
A: The relation between a pump’s power consumption and flow
Q: What does a P2-curve measure?
A: The pump’s head
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Looking for pumps which offer the best efficiency at lower more frequent flow
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Selecting a pump with the best efficiency at the peak flow
Q: When selecting a pump for variable flow, what's imperative?
A: Looking for a pump with a constant duty point
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Because duty pumps no longer operate alone
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Because better and smarter control valves are available
Q: Why will pumps with a constant duty point soon be a thing of the past?
A: Beause of the use of variable speed pumps for applications with variable demand
Q: What happens to the flow when the NPSH value increases?
A: It decreases
Q: What happens to the flow when the NPSH value increases?
A: It remains the same
Q: What happens to the flow when the NPSH value increases?
A: It increases as well
