  2. Utilization factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilization_factor

    The motor load factor is then 12/15 = 80%. The motor above may only be used for eight hours a day, 50 weeks a year. The hours of operation would then be 2800 hours, and the motor use factor for a base of 8760 hours per year would be 2800/8760 = 31.96%. With a base of 2800 hours per year, the motor use factor would be 100%.

  3. Thermodynamic pump testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_pump_testing

    Thermodynamic pump testing is a form of pump testing where only the temperature rise, power consumed, and differential pressure need to be measured to find the efficiency of a pump. These measurements are typically made with insertion temperature probes and pressure probes fitted to tapping points on the pump's inlet and outlet. [ 1 ]

  4. Concrete pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_pump

    The second main type of concrete pump, commonly referred to as a "line pump" or trailer-mounted concrete pump, is either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer. This pump requires steel or flexible concrete placing hoses to be manually attached to the outlet of the machine and feed the concrete to the place of application. The length of the ...

  5. Coefficient of performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_performance

    The heat pump itself can be improved by increasing the size of the internal heat exchangers, which in turn increases the efficiency (and the cost) relative to the power of the compressor, and also by reducing the system's internal temperature gap over the compressor. Obviously, this latter measure makes some heat pumps unsuitable to produce ...

  6. Affinity laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_laws

    The affinity laws (also known as the "Fan Laws" or "Pump Laws") for pumps/fans are used in hydraulics, hydronics and/or HVAC to express the relationship between variables involved in pump or fan performance (such as head, volumetric flow rate, shaft speed) and power. They apply to pumps, fans, and hydraulic turbines. In these rotary implements ...

  7. Hydraulic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_pump

    A hydraulic pump is a mechanical source of power that converts mechanical power into hydraulic energy (hydrostatic energy i.e. flow, pressure). Hydraulic pumps are used in hydraulic drive systems and can be hydrostatic or hydrodynamic. They generate flow with enough power to overcome pressure induced by a load at the pump outlet.

  8. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    A diaphragm type pressurizer on a domestic rainwater system, with the pump and Square D pressure switch in the background. A pressure tank or pressurizer is a type of hydraulic accumulator used in a piping system to maintain a desired pressure. Applications include buffering water pressure in homes. [1]

  9. Specific pump power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_pump_power

    Specific Pump Power (SPP) is a metric in fluid dynamics that quantifies the energy-efficiency of pump systems. It is a measure of the electric power that is needed to operate a pump (or collection of pumps), relative to the volume flow rate. It is not constant for a given pump, but changes with both flow rate and pump pressure.
