Eliminating burst pipes

摘要

Installing variable speed pumps on an irrigation system has eliminated burst pipes and led to higher yields for one UK soft fruit grower. Amajor UK producer of soft fruit under glass has recently upgraded its pumping equipment for irrigation and overhead moisture. In addition to new pumps from ITT Industries' Lowara, all the main pumps at the site have now been equipped with the company's computer-controled variable speed drive. This much finer control of pumping operations has contributed to higheryields and quality and has eliminated damaging pipe bursts.
