Progressive cavity pumps
seepex has a new computer program that calculates the savings realized when users switch from an air-operated double diaphragm pump to an electrically operated progressive cavity (PC) pump. The program is available in Visual Basic for personal computers running Microsoft Windows 98 or higher, or for PDAs that run Palm OS 3.1 or higher. The program uses actual manufacturer's performance data and generally accepted formulae. Users provide the required fluid flow and pressure, number of desired stages for the PC pump, pneumatic system pressure, normal hours of operation, AODD pump inlet size, cost per kW hour for electricity, number of compressor stages and the estimated efficiency of the compressor.
