Abstract The reverse operation of existing centrifugal pumps, commonly referred to as “Pump as Turbine” (PAT), is a key approach for recovering liquid pressure energy. As a type of hydraulic machinery characterized by a simple structure and user-friendly operation, PAT holds significant promise for application in industrial waste energy recovery systems. This paper reviews recent advancements in this field, with a focus on pump type selection, performance prediction, and optimization design. First, the advantages of various prototype pumps, including centrifugal, axial-flow, mixed-flow, screw, and plunger pumps, are examined in specific application scenarios while analyzing their suitability… More >
