Consider more than the efficiency rating to select the most cost-effective system for the pumping application.
Motors
Motors are the most common source of power used by pumping systems. This technology is heavily regulated. Pumps by themselves are not variable speed, an option that many systems need to operate with peaks and ebbs during the run cycle, such as power generation. The addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) gives it that capability.
Pumping packages that use a diesel oxidation catalyst can minimize cost, maintenance and equipment downtime.
Protecting these two components can lead to longer equipment life.
Bladder pressure tanks and irrigation systems are prime examples of how lead-lag systems, complete with motor controls, can meet high demand and reduce equipment wear.
The Integral Horsepower Motor Rule will take effect June 1, 2016.
Motor systems that are designed as entire packages are more reliable and affordable.
In food processing, these motors are an ideal choice for long life
and dependable safety.
Additional equipment and built-in technology move these drives into new applications.
Reduced downtime is an added benefit of sustainable procedures.
Enhanced diagnostics provide critical data for reliable, efficient operations.
