Reduce water pressure

There is a pump with H=85m, and the required head is H=40m; how can the feed water head be reduced?

There are two approaches: one starts with the pump, and the other starts with the pipes. 1) If the pump itself is a variable-frequency motor, the pump’s speed can be reduced; Or reduce the impeller diameter ; 2) Increase the pump outlet diameter ; 3) Apply partial reflux

The most energy-efficient approach is to replace it; next is using an inverter-driven motor to operate at reduced speed; thirdly, replacing the cutting impeller is the most cost-effective option at the moment

When the equipment cannot be changed, the most feasible approach is to increase the feedback flow rate.

To meet the conditions specified by the user: 1) Replace the drive motor with an inverter-driven motor and add an inverter – this is more energy-efficient ; 2) Based on the performance curve, check whether it’s possible to cut the impeller~~~~ It requires the least investment and offers good energy-saving effects; however, once this is done, it cannot be undone~~~~ 3) Adjusting the opening of the outlet control valve~~~~ This does not result in energy savings, and the components used for throttling in the valve have a shorter lifespan, but it is the most convenient method~~~~ .....

Guys, cutting the impeller or using variable frequency drives will both change the flow rate; if you don’t want the flow rate to change

As requested by the original poster, the only option is to find a used unit and purchase a new pump~~~~~~~~:lol (although both cutting the impeller and using variable frequency technology would meet the requirements from an engineering perspective).....
