Understanding how energy is converted and transmitted

Levitronix pumps absorb electrical power from the grid and, after a few conversions, deliver deliver part of it as hydraulic power.

A pumping system is composed of different elements which transmit and convert power, generating losses as well. Understanding the sources of losses and the resulting conversion efficiency is important to understand how our pumps work.

In this lesson, you will learn…

• …how power is converted from one form to another in a Levitronix pump system
• …why the elements generate losses and how they impact the pump performance
• …the pumping efficiency of a Levitronix system
• …examples of practical applications where energy flows are critical for the success of the process
