To think that so many pumps operating today were built up to 50 years ago… It shows you what happened in the good ole days when it seemed we were more skilled at matching operating demands to the pump selected and the pump designers were good too.
Pumping applications still account for more than 20% of the global electric motor energy consumption – so there is a real opportunity for plant owners and managers to increase the efficiency of their older equipment. And because the equipment is older it is getting harder and harder to use it efficiently.
Operating conditions evolve over time. When this happens pumping application demands also change. You can see changes in flow, media characteristics or duty… Just because a pump can operate on the outer edges of the system curve does not mean it should. Performance and reliability can be reduced.
