In the pursuit of net-zero emissions, most countries have implemented stringent energy efficiency standards for the production and operation of water pumps such as the Minimum Energy Index (MEI) requirements of the EU and the similar Pump Energy Index (PEI) outlined by the U.S. DoE. These regulations will continue to evolve and become stricter and more complicated in terms of scope and applicability.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must ensure compliance with the latest energy efficiency regulations which leads to significant R&D and physical testing overheads. Similarly, end users of water pumps are demanding lower operating costs and increased reliability. Digitally testing the design of pumps is now a cost-effective alternative being rapidly adopted by leading engineering firms worldwide.
SimScale offers a cloud-native, multi-disciplinary simulation solution for the overall design and performance assessment of pumps and pumping systems.
Watch this webinar to learn how to:
- set up and run a water pump simulation
- calculate a full pump curve within minutes and predict flow, head, and power at part load, BEP, and overload conditions
- run a DoE to evaluate the weighted performance of a pump design to estimate its MEI, PEI, and Energy Rating as prescribed by the Hydraulic Institute
