Energy savings, industrial pumps. Phase 1
We wish to establish the technological basis for the reduction of electricity consumption in the case of a wide range of industrial pumps. Pump usage covers a wide range, such as irrigation, heating and cooling plants, district heating, water supply, and pumps for the process industry.
It includes pump sized from 1 - 120 m3/h within volute housing and multistep pumps. If the projecs target as regards total efficiency is reached, the electricity savings based on the number of pumps installed in Europe today (8.5m) will correspond to the annual Danish electricity production (37 TWh). The most essential savings will be due to jumps in the total pump/motor efficienty and the motor control optimalization. The project is divided in phases and will include theoretical and experimental work within the fields of pump hydraulics, motor technology, clarification of necessary manufacturing technologies, and upgrading of agencies which should know the saving possibilities, for instance consulting engineers, decision-makers in the private and public sectors. Co-operation with university departments in Denmark and in other countries will be necessary to accomplish the research task
