Pumps Reliability and Efficiency 2012

Pumps are inherently unreliable. For pumps, seals and bearings to be reliable, everything must be done right. We must design systems properly, set-up piping properly, select the right pump - both hydraulically and mechanically, install it correctly, operate it at the correct flow rate and maintain it properly. A seal failure is just a sign that we have a problem with our pumping system. A course on reliability therefore needs cover everything to do with the pump and system.
