Comparison of Saddle-Shaped Region of Head-Flow Curve between Axial-Flow Pump and Its Corresponding Axial-Flow Pump Device by Dongtao Ji, Weigang Lu, Linguang Lu, Lei Xu, Jun Liu, Wei Shi, Ye Zhu

“…In engineering, the highest operating head of the pumping station is usually controlled to be slightly lower than the lowest saddle bottom head of the axial-flow pump. However, in the practical operation, it is found that the highest operating head of the pumping station is obviously lower than the saddle bottom head of the pump device, which leads to the reduction of the operating range of the pumping station. …”
