Pump Technology Advancements FREE Webinar

Reminder: A free webinar on Pump Technology Advancements will take place on May 13, 1 pm EST. This webinar will significantly help pump manufacturers and designers to address some of these important design considerations. Veteran pump industry expert Dr. David Japikse will help bring attendees up-to-date on methodologies for cost effective pump design to meet high performance over a wide operating range.

Traditionally, companies may make modifications to the pump design without fully considering the ramifications. For example, just redesigning the impeller with an existing housing may not lead to achieving optimum performance for that pump. Webinar attendees will learn how pump performance improvements can be achieved by utilizing various techniques including:

  • Creating full-featured pump designs
  • Improving inlets and/or blade shapes
  • Utilizing diffusers
  • Reducing losses in the return channel/continuous crossover
  • Increasing design stability via vane shapes and/or diffuser/volute design
  • Working with a better motor design
The event will include a live question-and-answer segment. You're welcome to Register Now!
