Design Duty Point Of The Pump

Defined as that Duty Point on the H-Q curve where a centrifugal pump operates at maximum efficiency. It is determined by the Flow Rate and the Total Head at the respective pump speed.

Pump duty curves (and thus the design duty point) are subject to shifting from their water specific curves when handling highly viscous fluids.
