Simulation software developed by China University of Petroleum-Beijing in conjunction with China National Petroleum Corp. allows automatic determination of optimal pump use on multiproduct pipelines.

Wear and leakage are common maintenance problems that result in pump discharge pressure dropping below optimum levels and reduced pump efficiency. Converting pumps to mechanical seals eliminates ...

Boiler feed pumps (BFPs) play a major role in the capacity and heat rate of a power-generating unit. As such, they merit routine performance testing to assess their condition and trend deficiencies to ...

Scientists led by China’s Dongguan University of Technology have proposed a novel control approach for water-to-water heat pumps that uses carbon dioxide (CO2) as refrigerant. The model-based optimal ...
