The enigmatic RDLP pump

摘要

With more demands being made on the availability of clean water in developing countries, greater resources are being allocated to water supply systems. A key issue in designing a water transportation system is hydraulics, where the expertise of the pump manufacturer is all-important, writes Bryan Orchard. With its considerable global experience in providing pumping equipment for water transportation systems, KSB AG has vast experience in this particular area and recognises that lower hydraulic pressure losses result in energy savings. With its Omega, RDLO and RDLP horizontal split case single and multi-stage pumps, KSB provides a large and varied range of system designs that cover the most diverse of requirements and customer specifications. Water supply on a broad basis is becoming one of the biggest challenges because of population growth in areas where it is hot, and where the ground water sources are scarce or not clean due to pollution. In addition to this, there is a growing demand for water from agriculture, industrialisation and mining in remote areas.
