The purpose of this memorandum is to memorialize a meeting on May 1, 2012 at the Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to DOE’s guidance on ex parte communications.
Exelon respectfully submits that the existing 810 rule, as currently interpreted, and the proposed revised rule, both work as deterrents to improving safety in nuclear operations around the world.
HI’s Web-based Standards “packages” will provide you with all of the Standards appropriate for a specific pump technology. Select the package that is right for your business and the number of simultaneous users (“seats”) you desire, and the state of the art, solution-oriented content you require will be at your fingertips.
Attendees of the “Pump Systems Optimization” one-day course will gain valuable new skills to help them improve centrifugal pump system efficiency to reduce energy and operating costs while earning seven professional development hour (PDH) credits from the Hydraulic Institute.
Pump Systems Matter (PSM) is a non-profit (501(c) 3) educational foundation, established to educate the marketplace and promote pumping systems energy efficiency.
In the Hydraulic Institute’s 94-year history, 2011 was arguably a very significant year. In January the United States Department of Energy announced its ntent to explore a rulemaking on pump efficiency. This announcement set in motion our year-long effort to establish and communicate the pump industry’s position while serving as a catalyst for accelerating other related initiatives of the Institute.
As the developer of the universally acclaimed ANSI/HI Pump Standards, a key reference for pump knowledge and end-user specifications, the Hydraulic nstitute (HI) provides its members with timely and essential resources for the advancement of their pump industry businesses.
This guideline discusses the effects of operating a rotodynamic pump at rates of flow that are greater than or less than the rate of flow at the pump’s best efficiency point (BEP). These effects influence the power consumption and life of pump components and, therefore, considering the operating rate of flow is essential to reliable, efficient pump operation.
