NewSkin final events series 2024 – EDS NewSkin OITB webinar: Advanced materials, coatings and textures for efficient pumping systems
Published on 19 Nov 22:58 (2 months ago) by AquaTTNewSkin final events series 2024 – EDS NewSkin OITB webinar: Advanced materials, coatings and textures for efficient pumping systems took place 16:00 - 17:50 CET on Tuesday November 19th 2024. Hosted by the European Desalination Society in association with NewSkin OITB partners and facility users, with NewSkin OITB partners ECCS and AquaTT organising. EDS members can PLAY BACK here
Summary: Advanced surfaces and materials enable design of enhanced components for more efficient pumping systems. Textures and coatings result in friction lose reductions – up to 60% in dynamic components (pistons, shaft and bearings) and seals. Other functional surfaces, such as shark skin, result in reduced transport losses of fluids (15%), cavitation avoidance and pumping systems efficiency increases (up to 5%). Finally, graphene enabled oils have demonstrated improved pumping systems efficiency over 20%. All these technologies are available through NewSkin OITB.
