Editor's Note: Adapted from "Improving Pumping System Performance: A Sourcebook for Industry" developed jointly by the U.S Department of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the Hydraulic ...

Fluid-handling or transfer devices are not basically concerned with the modulation or transfer of power, but only with the movement of fluid. Two major types of fluid-transfer pumps are ...

Hydraulic oil ranks high among fluids with multi-function capability. True, for sheer utility, it can’t match olive oil, which through the centuries has been used as food, lubricant, fuel, medicine, ...

Industrial, environmental, and medical devices rely on pumps for a wide range of applications. Among the many pump types available, piston pumps and peristaltic pumps are frequently compared due to ...

Variable-frequency drives (VFDs), allow a much wider operating range on selected electric submersible pump (ESP) equipment than might otherwise be possible. This can be beneficial when an ESP is ...

Learn the fundamentals of peristaltic pumping and how electric-drive systems help engineers achieve perfect flow in demanding ...
