<strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Efficiency</strong> in Pumps<br />

Static head is a characteristic of the specific installati<strong>on</strong>, and reducing this<br />

head where it is possible generally reduces both the cost of the installati<strong>on</strong><br />

and the cost of pumping the liquid. Fricti<strong>on</strong> head losses must be minimized<br />

to reduce pumping cost, but after eliminating unnecessary pipe fittings and<br />

length, further reducti<strong>on</strong> in fricti<strong>on</strong> head will require a larger-diameter pipe,<br />

which adds to installati<strong>on</strong> cost.
