How to select a centrifugal pump

Centrifugal pumps are versatile in their uses. These machines vary considerably in the technology that equips each one for a different set of jobs and circumstances. A careful choice is needed to ensure you optimally achieve your main dewatering objectives. Here are the key considerations to choose the right type of centrifugal pump for your application.

Electric vs Diesel pumps

Electric or diesel pumps? When it comes to the choice of power sources, it is a debate that is becoming increasingly prevalent in the selection of dewatering pump technologies.

How the right design can improve high head pumps’ mean time to repair

Through a series of design innovations, Atlas Copco has addressed traditional issues of inaccessible hydraulics and the need to disassemble pumps to perform simple tasks like replacement of consumables. In combination, these features can improve MTTR Mean time to repair up to 30%.

Understanding head for pump specification

Head is the height at which a pump can raise fluid up and is measured in metres or feet. We use it when specifying centrifugal pumps because their pumping characteristics tend to be independent of the fluid’s specific gravity, often referred to as relative density.

Stage V for diesel pumps

Starting from 2019, Stage V emission regulation will be rolled out in Europe. This will have an impact on all diesel dewatering pumps. Atlas Copco is gradually updating all diesel pumps offered in Europe to be compatible with Stage V.
