Hi all, was thinking about this the other day. Is high pressure differential always a bad thing?
Please correct me if i am wrong, but from the way I understand, high pressure differential is bad because if you have a high pressure differential across a piece of equipment (valve, pump, fitting etc...), it means that some of the pressure energy are probably converted into heat and vibrations, which will effect your equipment lifespan.
But for something like strainers/filters, wouldn't a high pressure differential be actually a desired characterisitc?
