General trend of water pump industry development

General trend of water pump industry development can be summarized as:

(1) Large capacity and high head. Increase of pump capacity will reduce the cost of equipment and construction to save energy.

(2) High speed. In recent years, with the development of technology, rotate speed of the pump is higher and higher. For the pump, increase of rotate speed will improve the single-stage head of pump. Thus, when the total head is the same, the series of the pump can be reduced and the length of the pump can be shortened, which can also reduce the size and weight and save raw materials and manufacturing costs.

(3) High efficiency. The pump is general machinery product, power consumption of which is objective. Thus, improving pump efficiency has great significance to save energy.

(4) High reliability. The requirement for reliability is higher and higher for pump develops towards large capacity and high rotate speed direction. Reliability of the pump should be guaranteed from the aspects such as design, manufacturing, installation to operation.

(5) Low noise. Noise pollution is harmful to people’s health. Currently, most of countries have done a lot of researches on the mechanism of noise control, noise detection technology and noise limit.

(6) Automation. With the development and application of computer and network technologies, the units above 300MW have fully realized computer network monitoring and control of DCS. In DCS system, the pump is not single-machine control, but network monitoring and control. The system can realize online real-time monitoring and control of flow, pressure and temperature and online automatic fault diagnosis, automatic chain and protection.
