Electrical signature analysis identified a breakdown in one pump station.
Motor efficiency standards are in use today, and now the DOE has focused its rulemaking process on pumps and other components connected to motors.
Digital variable reluctance technology could result in positive changes in the efficiency and power of pumps.
DOE rules since 1992 have impacted the U.S. motor market.
This method of achieving variable speed pumping promotes energy efficiency and can pay for itself over a long period of service.
When following the new DOE guidelines, don’t forget these considerations.
Evaluating system requirements and all available options can improve reliability, efficiency and cost.
Consider more than the efficiency rating to select the most cost-effective system for the pumping application.
Eddy current drives offer a cost-effective alternative to VFDs.
Reduced downtime is an added benefit of sustainable procedures.
Enhanced diagnostics provide critical data for reliable, efficient operations.
Discharges flowing through the bearings put motors at risk.
Revisiting the fundamentals of data examination, time and resolution can solve equipment issues before they happen.
