Ways to be followed for high efficiency in pump systems

In every system, high efficiency and energy is an important item in pump systems, as in every component. The high efficiency of the pump not only saves money, but also provides a serious benefit in terms of “time” and “working” performance. On busy days when we force our conditions to fit into a narrow time, when the workload is high, the thing we need most is the equipment that will save us time. The higher the efficiency of the pumps, the more time and money control they provide. There are a number of ways to follow for the pumps to work efficiently. Achieving high efficiency in the pump is achieved with the right pump selection and the right installation. We share in a few items what you need to pay attention to in order to obtain maximum efficiency from your working pump system.
• Care
Arrows point to maintenance when it comes to “high efficiency” not only in pump systems, but also in all work equipment, work vehicles, machines and many more. Undoubtedly, it cannot be expected that the operating efficiency of the pumps that are not maintained or are incompletely maintained will be high. The pump system wears out over time and becomes inoperable. Its lifespan ends prematurely and you incur a new cost. If the necessary periodic maintenance is not done, the pumps you buy with the aim of providing benefits in the long term may leave you in the middle of the road. For this reason, it is beneficial to pay attention to its maintenance and repairs first. There are a few important points to consider in pump maintenance. For example, in solid waste pumps it is recommended to check worn impellers, if there is a problem you may need to replace the impeller. Checking the coupling settings and maintaining and lubricating the bearings is an important point. Another point to be considered is that the pump and motor control and the necessary inspections are carried out at appropriate intervals. (Flow, sound, vibration) Pump maintenance is an important way to prevent possible malfunctions.
• Monitor control
Systems can be monitored with the help of control devices (vibration analyzer, flowmeter, thermal camera, electrical measurement). Thanks to monitoring, you can check whether there is any impeller damage in the system and be aware of any blockages. In addition, monitoring, measuring and controlling situations such as insufficient suction power, misalignment in the coupling, looseness in the chassis connections are also important details for observing possible problems of your pump.
• Control systems
The purpose of control systems, which we frequently mention in pump maintenance, is to ensure the correct use of pumps. With remote monitoring methods, system-related controls are made faster and more accurately, thus preventing possible malfunctions in the pump to some extent.
• Choosing the right pump
At this point, it is important to know what the pumps are used for and which transfers are made. Because if the right pump is not selected, the efficiency of the pump will decrease. Let’s proceed with the example. Pumps require a certain pressure and flow rate. This pressure and flow rate are also adjusted according to the type of transfer made. However, if a correct pump selection is not made, power and operating efficiency will decrease. By choosing the right pump for certain tasks, you can increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. By operating expenses, we mean energy consumption. With the right pump selection, you will also avoid unnecessary energy consumption and unnecessary maintenance costs.
• Pump Performance
The correct selection of the pump performance (pressure, flow, power, speed) is a major factor in the efficient operation of the pump. Choosing a large or small pump is always considered a loss in efficiency.
• Impeller run time
It is important to select the pump impeller according to the physical and chemical properties of the fluid. Choosing the right impeller or pump type saves energy and extends the life of the pump.
• Pipe selection
Did you know that by choosing the appropriate diameter of the pipe diameters used in the pumps, the losses caused by friction can be reduced to a lesser extent? Choosing a small pipe section leads to friction losses and this friction causes some wear and tear and unnecessary energy consumption. If the pipes are positioned correctly, it will be profitable in all respects.
• Sealing materials
There are sealing materials on the pump. These materials are the protection shield of the pump. The more suitable the packings used, the higher the efficiency. It is very important to choose the right packing suitable for the fluid.
