  • Calculating pipes and duty points with Vogel Software tools
    Energy savings can be obtained in several ways, but before manufacturers turn to hydraulic optimisation of units or apply new electrical drives or powerful control systems, they should look at the dimensions of the pipelines and make sure they get the duty point specifications right. This can be done with the aid of web-based tools from Vogel Software.

  • Surge protection in tall buildings
    As water companies reduce water pressure in the domestic mains to reduce leakages, tall buildings are becoming reliant on booster pumps to provide water at sufficient pressure to enable normal daily living. This has revealed a potential threat – hydraulic shock, says Gary Wheatley from Wilo (U.K.) Ltd.
