When identical pumps with similar functions are arranged in series, the total head generated by the system increases while the maximum discharge remains constant. This configuration is ideal when the primary objective is to overcome higher elevation differences or pressure requirements in a system.
Conversely, arranging identical pumps in parallel leads to an increase in the total discharge without affecting the maximum head. This setup is advantageous when the goal is to achieve a higher flow rate within a system.
Understanding the difference between these two configurations is crucial in optimizing pump system performance and achieving the desired hydraulic parameters.
