Summary of 2011 Accomplishments HI & PSM

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.

Summary of HI Standards Relating to Energy Efficency

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.
