Energy Efficiency Technology

Pumps currently account for 10% of the world's total electricity consumption. Pumps are designed to meet many requirements, energy efficiency not always being one of them. Some plants are built with poor system design where pumps are not properly matched to the system.

USA industrial energy efficiency is vital to the U.S. economy, but at the same time consumes the most energy in the country to manufacture products. Next to areas such as steam or process heating, motor-driven equipment is a key energy user.

Heat pump technology is well known for provision of heating, cooling and hot water to residential buildings. Less known are the larger cousins of residential heat pumps -industrial and commercial units. They add an important factor to energy systems in cities, large buildings or industrial.

Operator Driven Reliability (ODR) is a key driver to increase the efficiency of industrial pumps. It is difficult to pre-assess the improvement margin of a maintenance concept. ODR emphasizes on operator involvement and ownership for equipment performance.

Pumps of rotary machines are made out of many components. Bearings are the key components which connect parts of the machine and make them move. Poor lubrication is one of the main causes of bearing failure. The key task is always to.

Energy costs represent up to 45 percent of Total Cost of Ownership for industrial pumps. The main lever for companies to get a good return from their pump investment is to maximise the efficiency of an installed pump in any way. This means to minimize .
