在本文中，作者讨论了通过现场泵测试来确定单个泵的性能、现场测试调压阀设置，以及使用系统的延长周期计算机模型模拟24小时内的系统行为，从而提高水系统泵送操作的能效的案例。该模型表明，使用现有的泵送设备可以节省9%的能源成本，改进泵送系统可以节省20%的能源成本。包括表格、数字。

In this paper the authors discuss a case history of improving the energy efficiency of a water system's pumping operations by means of in-place pump testing to determine individual pump performance, field testing of pressure- regulating valve settings, and simulating system behavior over a 24-hour period with an extended-period computer model of the system. The model showed that an energy cost savings of 9 percent could be achieved with existing pumping equipment and that improvements to the pumping system could result in a 20 percent savings. Includes tables, figures.
