  • Pump selection: A real example
    Choosing the most appropriate and cost-effective centrifugal pump for a given duty requires strict adherance to a thorough selection process as Eduardo Larralde and Rafael Ocampo discussed in the first article of this two-part series. Here they demonstrate the application of the selection procedure in practice with a real-life example.
  • Energy savings in pump systems
    In this third in a series of articles on energy savings in pumps, Hans Vogelesang of PumpSupport considers the factors that should be borne in mind when designing piping systems. Many issues should be examined to ensure that a system will operate in an energy-efficient manner, both at design capacity and at partial load.
  • Using active front end drives – substance or spin?
    AC drives are increasingly common in pumping applications. However, their operation produces harmonic currents, which can have a number of detrimental effects on system performance. Ian C Evans of Harmonic Solutions considers the role of active front end drives in harmonic mitigation.
  • A brief history of pumps
    Ten years ago, World Pumps put together a brief history of the pump industry telling the story of pump development since the Egyptians invented the ‘shadoof’ in 200BC. We stopped then at 1999, but here we bring the story right up to date with some of the main industry events of recent times.
  • Tiny pumps drive portable medical devices
    The performance and cost effectiveness of many portable medical devices can be enhanced by tailoring miniature diaphragm pumps and solenoid valves to meet system requirements. Dan Schimelman of Hargraves Technology examines the issues together with recent advances in fluidic components.
