Improvements to pump hydraulics can translate to extended reliability and operating savings. Typically, over a 20 years of pump life, the 90-95% of the total cost are service, operation and installation. Only 5-10% is initial pump cost. Therefore, it is very important to identify features that maximize pump hydraulic performances. These features help lower the total cost of the pump ownership even reduce the global warming.
Using Computer Fluid Dynamics software (CFD) complete pump hydraulic can be modeled very precisely providing accurate results in comparison to real pump test. CFD modeling allows pump manufacturer to “look inside the pump” and improve hydraulic performances according to process requirements.
3D solid parametric modeling and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools are daily used to analyze each critical component and assembly of the pump. Validation and optimization of the product enable us to improve product reliability and reduce product development cycle.
