Which of these is the most efficient way of running a pump at 60 per cent flow?

  • A.Recirculating the surplus back to the suction
  • B.Running the pump intermittently at full speed
  • C.Slowing the pump with a converter
  • D.Throttling the discharge with a control valve

Answer: C

The cubic law means sixty per cent speed takes about twenty-two per cent of the power, while throttling and recirculation both keep the pump at nearly full power. Intermittent full-speed running avoids some of the waste but subjects the plant to repeated transients.
