LONG BEACH, Calif. - Pumps are responsible for a significant part of the world’s electrical energy consumption, but their impact can be by using variable-speed pump control, especially in hydronic ...

This generation of variable-speed pumps can internally sense how many valves are open or closed and adjust speed accordingly. Variable speed pumps have been around for years. As I mentioned in last ...

In a previous article A New Age In North American Hydronics I promised that we would venture into the word of light commercial pump sizing using variable speed pumps. How many times have we been ...

Chris Parsloe argues that a modular approach to system design helps exploit the energy saving potential of variable speed pumps In the shadows cast by Part L of the new Building Regulations and the ...

CHICAGO - Hydronic systems can require a number of different parts, and many of these items were displayed at the 2009 International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo).

Crailsheim, Germany/York, PA (May 19, 2017) – Voith introduces the first member of a new product family in the field of speed control for compressors and pumps: the VECO-Drive. It is an electric ...

Manufacturers once assumed that energy costs were, for the most part, beyond their control. But such attitudes became outdated with the advent of power monitoring and control devices such as ...

A recent trend in nuclear power plant upgrades has been the replacement of the motor-generator (MG) sets that drive the reactor circulating pumps with variable-frequency drives (VFD). Siemens’ first ...

Scientists in Turkey have developed a new algorithm to optimize the efficiency of PV-powered water pumps. The novel technique is based on the Extended Kalman–Bucy filter, which is a ...

The recent push to make everything smart or connected has led to some interesting evolutions in manufacturing. Application and infrastructure divided the use of electromechanical and fluid power.
