What is Pumping Power?

Pumping power in a heat exchanger is the energy required to move the heat transfer fluid through the system. It represents the work done by a pump to circulate the fluid, overcoming resistance and maintaining the desired flow rate. Pumping power is typically measured in watts or horsepower and is influenced by factors such as flow rate and pressure differential across the heat exchanger. Minimizing pumping power is essential for optimizing the energy efficiency of the heat exchange process.
