Greetings from Germany!
My name is Christian Wallrodt. I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) from RWTH Aachen University. For 25 years, I served as Technical Director at a renowned German manufacturer of plastic centrifugal pumps, until I retired on December 31, 2023. As I have a passion for programming, I developed this website. The use of Pump Pilot is free of charge.
Pump Pilot enables technicians and engineers to calculate the Total head requirement of process engineering pump systems. This value H,total is essential for designing and/ or requesting an industrial pump. Additionally, the system's NPSH value (NPSH available) can be immediately determined (currently only for water) just before the pump. A well-planned pump system plays a key role in ensuring operational safety and cost-effectiveness during the subsequent pump operation.
Pump Pilot can be configured as a simple list of plant components or as an accurate representation of the system, complete with junctions and elevation markers. The work progress can be saved and accessed at any time. The final result can be saved as a PDF document. Please read the user manual (click the "Manual" button to access the PDF) before using the "Calculator".
If you have any kind of questions, remarks or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me (see imprint).
