Control system cuts lifecycle costs of centrifugal pumps

Article Abstract:

Goulds Pumps claims that its PumpSmart system provides savings in capital, installation, operation and maintenance costs. The system is composed of an external variable-frequency drive, control logic, and sensors that monitor the pressure differential between the pump inlet and discharge. It does not need a flowmeter or control valve, resulting in the use of smaller pumps and motors.
