PIPE-FLO Feature of the Month
Reducing Energy Consumption
Every time you turn on the news someone is talking about the need to
reduce energy consumption. According to the Hydraulic Institute pumping
systems account for nearly 20 percent of the world's electrical energy
demand and they represent 25 to 50 percent of the energy usage in
certain industrial plant operations.
That is a lot of energy consumed by pumps, and if you are looking at
ways to reduce the energy consumption in your plant, pumps are a good
place to start. PIPE-FLO can model the operation of a pump under fixed
speed or variable speed operation. This might translate into the energy
savings you have been looking for.
