Abstract

Reverse-running centrifugal pumps can be used as turbines for energy recuperation (in [N.7] termed “Hydraulic Power Recovery Turbines”, HPRT). Applications are processes where a large amount of fluid energy is dissipated in valves or other throttling devices. In some processes dissolved gases separate from the fluid or liquid is flashed into steam during the expansion. Higher energy differences are then available for power recovery than in pure liquid flow, Chap. 13.3.
