The Future Of Water Pump Technology

Pump manufacturers such as Grundfos are quickly reaching the limits of efficiency for water pumps, this becomes an issue in the future because once efficiency limits are reached then savings derived from efficiency fall. Therefore, the future of the pump industry in Hungary focuses not on individual pumps but on entire pump systems. Future pump systems would be optimized using the right combination of controls and selecting systems that optimizes water flow, keeps energy use down to a minimum.

Pump technology has developed significantly since its initial inception, however it should be noted that the new pump technology should be used carefully in Hungary to ensure maximum efficiency because new technology alone does not guarantee that water pumps are more beneficial, they must be used in optimal conditions. It should be noted that despite the common use and widespread importance of electric water pumps, diesel pumps are commonly used because electric power cannot reach all regions in a country. Many diesel pumps feature a high torque engine, which makes it an important asset in the mobile pump market.

The Development Of Pump Technology In Countries Like Hungary

While water pumps have been used since the ancient era, the first electric pump would not be invented until the 1900's, with the development of the electric motor. The 1900's saw several innovations, improvements and developments in the pump industry that allowed end users to gain access to hot and cold water, without too much difficulty. Many of the pump innovations developed by large pump firms in Hungary such as Grundfos are a direct response to what end user's need, for example Grundfos pumps are energy efficient due to the consumer's needs for pumps that do not consume high energy levels.

A significant development of water pumps during the 1900's was the ability to vary speed and performance of electric water pumps. This was previously not possible and it lead to highly inefficient use of energy and resources. However, the ability to vary speed and performance was made possible due to the creation of the variable speed drive or the frequency converter. This allowed water pumps with variable speeds and performance levels to reach the consumer market in Hungary and other countries. The ability to vary motor speeds and speed drives has led to a significant improvement in the quality of high quality pumps, such as Grundfos pumps.
