It is bordered by Slovakia on the east, Austria on the south, Germany on the west, and Poland on the north. , Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia and Lithuania) Technologies The following technologies are covered in this research service: * Intelligent Pump System (IPS (1) (Inches Per Second) The measurement of the speed of tape passing by a read/write head or paper passing through a pen plotter. (2) (IPS) (Intrusion Prevention S ): An intelligent pump system has built-in process controllers and pump diagnostic devices to monitor its operating characteristics and prevent pump errors. The capability to adjust pump characteristics and operate them at optimal conditions makes it intelligent. * Centrifugal Pump centrifugal pump Machine for moving liquids and gases. Its two major parts are the impeller (a wheel with vanes) and the circular pump casing around it. In the most common type, called the volute centrifugal pump, fluid enters the pump at high speed near the centre of the : The centrifugal pump consists of a stationary pump casing and an impeller mounted on a rotating shaft Noun 1. rotating shaft - a revolving rod that transmits power or motion shaft camshaft - has cams attached to it crankshaft - a rotating shaft driven by (or driving) a crank . The pump casing provides a pressure boundary for the pump and contains channels to properly direct the suction and the discharge flow. Centrifugal pumps are classified in the manner in which the liquid flows through the pumps as: radial flow pumps, axial flow pumps An axial flow pump is a common type of water pump that essentially consists of a propeller in a tube. The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the tube or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the tube. and mixed flow pumps * Positive Displacement A positive displacement meter is a type of flow meter that requires the fluid being measured to mechanically displace components in the meter in order for any fluid flow to occur. A diaphragm meter, with which most homes are equipped, is an example of a positive displacement meter. Pump (PDP (1) (Plasma Display Panel) See plasma display. (2) (Policy Decision Point) See COPS and XACML. (3) (Programmed Data P ): The positive displacement pump is one which pumps out a definite volume of liquid in each cycle. The volume is constant regardless of the resistance to the flow offered by the system. This pump differs from centrifugal pumps, which deliver continuous flow for any given pump and discharge resistance. * Feedback Devices/Diagnostic Devices: The software coupled with sensors such as pressure, temperature and other sensors that help to monitor the entire process and avoid pump problems. * Controllers: Electronic controllers can be used to automate sequence of events once the controls are triggered by any of the connected input devices. Events could all be automated simultaneously or individually depending on the controller's response to the trigger. Types of equipment that could be automated by controllers could include pump rotation, triggering light indicators during malfunction of pumps and its process that can be programmed to activate based on an electronic signal. Market Overview Intelligent Pump Systems Set to Drive Mature Pump Industry While the European pump industry is currently experiencing saturation, intelligent pump systems are witnessing strong growth and are emerging as the major motivating force for the industries future growth. Revenues for these systems increased significantly from $45.8 million in 2002 to $68.5 million in 2005, indicating their rising demand and potential in a variety of end-user segments such as water and wastewater and building automation. These and other end-user industries of pumps typically look for a complete package that offers them exceptional value in terms of product quality, customer service and support, delivery time, reliability, and price. Keeping in mind the increasing trend toward intelligent pumps, pump manufacturers need to re-examine re·ex·am·ine also re-ex·am·ine tr.v. re·ex·am·ined, re·ex·am·in·ing, re·ex·am·ines 1.

Failure to react to a mature market could result in companies being pushed out of the market, remarks the analyst of this research service. Going forward, technical advancements in pump features are likely to be a major driver for the European intelligent pump systems market. Environmental and Energy Legislation Create Demand for Intelligent Pumps Changing European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community (EU) legislation on energy and environmental issues, mainly in the water and wastewater markets and in building construction, are undoubtedly one of the biggest drivers of the intelligent pump systems market. The EU is implementing several directives to ensure that ambient, potable potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink. po·ta·ble adj. Fit to drink; drinkable. potable fit to drink. water and wastewater are meeting acceptable quality standards, as well as to improve energy performance in buildings considering indoor and outdoor conditions and cost-effectiveness. These new legislations are, therefore, creating increased demand for smart and advanced equipment that can meet such requirements. The demand for intelligent pumps is also rising in other key end-user sectors such as food and beverages as well as power generation. In addition, many companies have invested in the design and development of intelligent pumps for specific niche sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. This is expected to further promote the growth of the market in the long term from 2009 to 2012, says the analyst. Revenues are expected to reach $230.3 million by 2012, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR CAGR See: Compound Annual Growth Rate ) of 18.9 percent during the period 2005-2012.
