This Europump Guide is a free guide and intends to help the pump industry and its customers to understand and apply the EC Directive 2014/34/EU “ATEX.
Hydraulic Institute White Paper (2018)
This White Paper on “Understanding the Effects of Selecting a Pump Performance Test Acceptance Grade” was produced in cooperation with Europump
Ecopump Brochure
Europump’s energy commitment is based on academic research, made possible by the Ecopump programme. Ecopump has been Europump’s flagship project since 2004. In 2015 the Ecopump brochure was revamped.
In four clear and to-the-point fact sheets it explains the energy commitment of the European pump industry as well as the underpinning methodology it has designed.
Handbook 'Assessing the Energy Efficiency of Pumps and Pump Units'
Europump and Professor (retired) Bernd Stoffel (Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany) have published a handbook ‘Assessing the energy efficiency of pumps and pump units. Background and methodology’.
This handbook represents the decades-long effort of the Europump Joint Working Group on energy-using products. It was officially presented at the Europump General Assembly on 9 May 2015. Upon receiving the first book from the hands of Mr Carlo Banfi, Europump President, Professor Stoffel summarised for the audience that the work consolidates the research that Europump and Darmstadt University of Technology performed to prepare the calculations and methodology that underpin EU Ecodesign regulations. The book also touches upon the important roles of standardisation and the Semi-Analytical Model, which calibrates mathematical calculations with tests.
The book is now available at Elsevier at this link. The price is EUR 90.95 (Europump members receive a discount of 30%).
Optimizing Pumping Systems Guidebook
Twenty-two industry experts have compiled a comprehensive book on optimizing pumping systems. Energy losses in the pumping system as a whole are often greater than energy losses in the pumping unit. Read this book to learn how optimizing both existing and new pumping systems and purchasing based on life cycle costs will lead to increased profitability through a reduction in unnecessary, expensive energy consumption and maintenance costs.
The book is now available from the Europump General Secretariat for 140 euro per copy plus postage. Please order using the following form.
Hydraulic Institute Guidebook on Mechanical Seals for Pumps
Hydraulic Institute supported by 19 industry experts and in cooperation with the Fluid Sealing Association has compiled the most comprehensive book to date on mechanical seals. It is easy to read and filled with drawings, photographs and reference tables.
The book is now available from the Europump General Secretariat for 140 euro per copy plus postage. Please order using the following form.
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
The pump industry has investigated the current requirements from the construction industry to achieve BIM Level 2 acceptance. The conclusion was to develop a template which can then be populated by any pump company.
The purpose of the template is to standardise the data required for a product category.
It is believed that this PDT (Product Data Template) for pumps will meet the requirements of the Building Services and MEPH (Mechanical, Electrical & Public Health) sectors.
