The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is a measure of the quality of a pump size in respect to its mean efficiency.
The minimum efficiency index is based on the hydraulic efficiency and on the head at the best efficiency point.
The efficiency of a pump with trimmed impeller is usually lower than that of a pump with the full impeller
diameter. The trimming of the impeller will adapt the pump to a fixed duty point, leading to a reduced energy
consumption. The minimum efficiency index (MEI) is based on the full impeller diameter.
The operation of these water pumps with variable duty points may be more efficient and economical when
controlled, for example, by the use of a variable speed drive that matches the pump duty to the system.
