pumppaushäviöt
Pumppaushäviöt, also known as pumping losses, refer to the energy consumed by a reciprocating pump or compressor to move fluid through its internal components during the suction and discharge strokes. These losses are distinct from friction losses or leakage losses, though they often contribute to the overall inefficiency of the device.
During the suction stroke, a partial vacuum is created within the cylinder. As the piston or diaphragm
Similarly, during the discharge stroke, the piston or diaphragm moves inward, compressing and expelling the fluid.
Factors influencing pumppaushäviöt include the speed of operation, the viscosity and density of the fluid being
