Nevertheless there are a number of measures by means of which it is possible todeliberately influence the stability of the Q-H-curve. These measures agree with theabove developed models and have proved themselves many times over in practice(refer also to Table 5.1). The mentioned restrictions show clearly that there cannotbe any “magic formulas” to make all characteristics stable under all conditions. Thehigher the head coefficient at the best efficiency point is selected (this applies to allspecific speeds), the more difficult it is to stabilize the characteristic.Measures to stabilize the Q-H-curve frequently may have also undesirableside effects such as an unacceptable loss of efficiency. If the operator of the pumpaccepts instability because the plant operation never requires the pump to enterthe unstable range, the head coefficient can be selected higher. By appropriateshaping of the hydraulic components it is then possible to achieve efficiencieshigher than in cases where a Q-H-curve steadily rising to shut-off has been specified.This situation is often encountered in storage pump applications (whichhave to be designed for peak efficiencies owing to their high power consumption),if the operating range is narrow because of the water levels created by thetopography.
