In a recent white paper considering energy efficient pumping systems, Schneider Electric considers a pump system energy management approach for the energy efficiency of the pumping system and of its component parts. In pumping systems, most inefficiency comes from a mismatch between the pump deployed and the actual system requirement, and the improper use […]

Energy saving drives: savings are not only from motor speed control It is generally accepted that installing AC variable speed drives in fan, pump and compressor installations offers significant energy saving, reducing cost and lowering CO2 emissions. However, all variable speed drives are not equal: some VSDs include advanced software that provides further savings, […]
How hard can it be to specify variable speed drives for HVAC applications? From over two decades of in-house and marketplace experience, ABB Drives has identified the top thirty technical challenges facing users of variable-speed drives (VSD) within the building services sector. To varying degrees, the challenges affect consultants, OEMs, systems houses, […]
