Significant Energy Savings via VSDs

Posted July 20, 2011 9:54 AM

Engineering Steel Belgium audited its pump-system operating hours and calculated that the total annual cost for operating cooling-system pumps was EUR117,000. It found dramatic energy savings by the application of VSDs on its cooling-pump motors, reducing energy consumption by EUR45,000/yr. Have you had similar successes with VSDs?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Pump Technology, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Pump Technology today.
