DEVELOPMENT OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CHOOSING THE NUMBER OF REGULATED OIL MAIN PUMPS
The article deals with the issue of energy efficiency of transportation of hydrocarbon raw materials. This study aims to reduce the overconsumption of electricity at oil pumping stations by choosing a rational number of regulated main pump units in a sequential group. The results showed that a single regulated pump in combination with n-unregulated pumps is sufficient to meet technologi-cal requirements with the highest efficiency in the working range of fuel feeding.
