When dealing with supply power and motors, frequency is a predetermined factor. A basic understanding of frequency properties helps engineers and operators to understand motor frequency issues, variable frequency drives (VFDs), as well as voltage and power phase. AC Power and Frequency In electric circuits, the time rate of energy …
Pump cavitation is a serious issue that has a destructive impact on many aspects of a pump, but most likely will destroy the impeller, which leads to poor pumping operation and significantly reduces the lifespan of the pump. Cavitation causes serious damage and erosion to impellers, causing even new impellers …
Pump efficiency can hugely impact overall lifecycle costs. A Grundfos pump energy audit helps companies to determine potential savings and provides suggestions to improve performance and efficiency. Switching to energy-efficient pumps helps companies to reduce CO2 emissions as well as energy expenses, often with a quick return on investment. Benefits …
Irrigation solutions for agricultural farmers rely on a variety of factors forcing growers to have in-depth knowledge in many areas, including soil properties, climatology, botany, and the quality and quantity of water sources. An understanding of engineering and hydraulics is also necessary to choose the right type of pump system, …
There are several different types of irrigation, with some definitions being quite broad and others very specific such as agricultural irrigation. Irrigation enhances both the quality and quantity of agricultural crops and has been practiced for thousands of years. With the right combination of soil, sun, temperature, and water, plant …
World-class breweries and microbreweries have a high demand for FDA-compliant keg washers. Keg washers must do more than just clean and sanitize beer kegs, they must also operate efficiently and economically with ease in disconnecting from the system and all with FDA-compliant materials. Breweries wishing to sanitize beer kegs require …
The steel and iron industries are the backbone of the economy and modern civilization for many reasons. Steel is required for machinery in every type of industry and for the engineering and manufacturing of defense goods. Working with primary metals is a demanding process that requires a variety of durable …
End suction pumps are one of the most common classes of centrifugal pumps, with a simple design providing tried-and-true reliable pumping solutions for centuries. The most common type of end suction pump is single stage and operates on the basic principle of fluid flowing into the inlet of the pump …
Many industrial and commercial processes require the use of dosing pumps to transfer fluids with precise accuracy and consistency. Some processes where dosing pumps deliver a consistent, metered amount of fluids or chemicals include water treatment applications such as groundwater, recreational water, and process water for recycling and reuse. Common …
The consistent and precise dosing of pharmaceutical agents during laboratory testing is critical for the development of new medications. Liquid pharmaceutical agents tested in laboratory subjects must be precise to determine the accurate influence of the agents and to reproduce consistent, precise dosing. One of the greatest obstacles to …
