Development of a new generation of customer focused water pumps

摘要

A radical product concept was followed in the development of a new generation of horizontal split casing industrial water pumps. The paper outlines the process followed in establishing the hydraulic design base and enhanced performance. Focusing on customers benefits was critical and the catalyst to question and change aspects of the traditional mechanical design. The result is a product developed by a new design concept, using new technology, which delivers significant performance, manufacturing, maintenance and service benefits. The enhanced features of the single and two stage products are presented against the comparable traditional product lines.
