PUMP-FLO Desktop

PUMP-FLO is the perfect tool to select, evaluate, and analyze centrifugal pumps using manufacturers' supplied electronic pump catalogs. With PUMP-FLO you can be sure that the desired pump meets your system's requirements for optimum efficiency, therefore minimizing maintenance and pumping costs.

  • Select pumps from manufacturers' catalogs that meet a design point of Total Dynamic Head and flow rate.
  • Evaluate the pump curve which shows head, efficiency, horsepower, and NPSHr as a function of flow rate.
  • Analyze multiple pump operation, calculate annual operating cost and correct the pump curve for viscous fluid operation.

Using PUMP-FLO you can:

selectpumpthumb» Select your pump - With PUMP-FLO you enter the design point, then select a manufacturer's supplied Electronic Pump Catalog. Click for a list of supporting PUMP-FLO manufacturers. Once the manufacturer's catalog is open, PUMP-FLO displays the pump types and speeds available. After entering your selection criteria, the program searches the Electronic Pump Catalog and displays a list of pumps meeting your needs. The pump selection list can be sorted by pump size, efficiency, NPSHr, and maximum power draw to simplify your comparison.

B5» Evaluate pump operation - PUMP-FLO displays the pump curve showing the pump head, efficiency, horsepower, and NPSHr as a function of flow rate. You can inquire from the curve to determine the pump's operation for a given flow rate or head value. The system resistance curve can also be displayed on the pump curve.

A8» Analyze pump operation - PUMP-FLO displays the pump curve for multiple pumps running in either series or parallel operation. PUMP-FLO also calculates the pump's operating cost using both fixed and variable speed pump drives. This aids in determining if there is economic justification for a variable speed drive. The program automatically makes viscosity corrections to the pump curve when needed. All stages of the selection process are documented with printed reports. PUMP-FLO prints curves in a data sheet format as well as a full page pump curve.
