Preface<br />
Archimedes - <strong>the</strong> ingenious scientist <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ancient world -<br />
recognized <strong>the</strong> functionality <strong>of</strong> pumps as early as in <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> 3rd cent. B.C. Through <strong>the</strong> invention <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Archimedean screw,<br />
<strong>the</strong> irrigation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fields became much more effective.<br />
2200 years later <strong>GEA</strong> Tuchenhagen is building high-tech pumps <strong>for</strong> hygie-<br />
nic process technology giving <strong>the</strong> process lines <strong>the</strong> optimal impetus.<br />
Selecting <strong>the</strong> right pump to serve <strong>the</strong> purpose is not always that easy <strong>and</strong><br />
requires special knowledge. <strong>GEA</strong> Tuchenhagen has set up this <strong>Manual</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
giving support in finding out <strong>the</strong> optimal pump design. Special attention<br />
was given to produce a <strong>Manual</strong> that is interesting <strong>and</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mative <strong>for</strong><br />

everybody, from <strong>the</strong> competent engineer to<br />
<strong>the</strong> layman.<br />
The contents is self-explanatory<br />
<strong>and</strong> built up one after <strong>the</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r. Simplifications were<br />
partly accepted <strong>and</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>o-<br />
und <strong>the</strong>ories dispensed<br />
with. We hope that this<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> will give you an<br />
extended comprehension<br />
<strong>of</strong> this subject <strong>and</strong> will<br />
help you solving any<br />
problems that might occur.
