Pump performance curves provide important information for selecting the right pump for a given application. This piece reviews the creation and use of diaphragm pump performance curves to determine ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

Software P-Library allows anyone to develop pump curves for any centrifugal pump. The program creates a file that can be used in the Pump-Flo selection and Pipe-Flo system design software. According ...

Flow reversal in piping systems can degrade equipment performance and cause significant water hammer, potentially resulting in catastrophic failure. Power plant condenser cooling water systems—or ...

In a typical thermal power plant, the boiler feed water (BFW) pump takes suction from the deaerator and discharges to the boiler through the feedwater heaters. During normal operation, the deaerator ...
