Abstract
Abstract A theoretical research was conducted from 2016 to 2018 which aimed to reduce the head loss of pipe networks in the pump stations. The results were promising and predicted an average head loss reduction by 30%. Afterwards, physical experiments were carried out to test the effectiveness of the new pipe designs. Two new prototype pipe sections were installed into one of our pump stations. The experiment was successful as two unique pipe sections installed in the discharge pipe reduced the head loss of the pump station by 25–26%. According to these results, we can set a target value of 30% head loss reduction at full pump station pipe reconstruction.
