  • Climate change, the water cycle and AC drives
    Climate change, increasing demands on water due to global urbanization and the legal obligations under the EUs Water Framework Directive are making the water sector an attractive place for technologies that can help reduce costs and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. Here Heikki J. Kervinen of ABB discusses the influential role AC drives can play in meeting these challenges.
  • Submerged vertical safety concept
    The damaged pipe at a Swedish unloading terminal led to the creation of a special design for molten sulphur tanks. This required a 17 m long vertical pump that had to be lowered in from the top to avoid tapping the tank at the bottom. VDMA's Stephan Näckel and Per Karlsson describe this technical development.

  • Centrifugal pumps: avoiding cavitation
    Cavitation has been identified as one of the leading causes of reduced reliability in centrifugal pumps. Joseph Askew examines the causes of cavitation and discusses real-world solutions to correct them. The same troubleshooting techniques can also be applied at the design stage to prevent cavitation in centrifugals from the outset.
  • Energy savings for hydraulic systems
    A European steel manufacturer wanted to see how significant energy savings could be achieved in its hydraulic systems. Tests were carried out to establish if a drive would be a viable option for controlling energy consumption. When an ABB industrial drive was installed on a hydraulic pump, a 70% energy saving was successfully reached.
