Federal standards for residential and commercial circulator pumps are anticipated for release by the U.S. Department of Energy. Please note: Although the final ruling is expected to occur in 2024, it will likely take effect two to four years after it is released.
While utilities often provide incentives for selecting efficient large motors, NEEA's Extended Motor Products (XMP) program take this one step further: It focuses on pumps and circulators under 50 horsepower used in many commercial and industrial applications. Hydraulic Institute talked to Warren Fish, the XMP program manager, about NEEA's focus...
The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has announced the development and implementation of a certification program for Pump Systems Assessment Professionals (PSAP). This program sets the standard for the discipline of pump systems assessment and the use of pump system optimization techniques. Certification will provide a high level of confidence to end-users...
Smart Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Circulation Pumps use high efficiency variable speed motors and integrated controls to reduce the amount of energy used to circulate hot water in a commercial building. They are easy to install and have programmable controls to automatically adjust flow in response to hot water demand...
Garver was called to audit the pumping system of a facility with four large (350-horse power) vertical turbine pumps. “No cost” and “low cost” Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) were recommended as actions that would increase efficiency, reduce energy consumption, increase reliability, and lower the total cost of operation.
