Latest Patents

Tiitinen is credited with 1 patent: “Method for Controlling of a Pump Unit and a Pump Unit for Pumping Liquid or Suspension.” The invention describes controlling a pump unit that combines an inducer and a centrifugal pump. It uses operating parameters such as total volumetric flow rate and pressure difference, along with the liquid level on the pump’s suction side. The method also determines the available net positive suction head at the inlet and adjusts the inducer’s output power to maintain sufficient pressure conditions before the impeller, keeping the available head above the centrifugal pump’s required net positive suction head.
