European Union Pump Efficiency Regulations for Centrifugal Pumps
by Reemi Shirsath Chief Operating Officer Keeping this fact in mind the European Union is dedicated to emerging as a climate-friendly region by cutting down power consumption. It was found that pumping equipment especially the ones used for domestic heating, fluid transfer, municipal water, were major electricity/power consumption agents. In fact, a preparatory study by EU Commission Regulation says that “ water pumps are placed on the European Union market in large quantities. Their annual electricity consumption amounted to 109 TWh in 2005, corresponding to 50 Mt in CO2 emissions. In the absence of measures to limit this consumption, it is predicted that energy consumption will increase to 136 TWh in 2020 .”Thus EU has rolled out the European Union Pump Efficiency Regulations which are applicable to Centrifugal Pumps since these pumps deal in pumping fluids and are one of the most popular pumps for transferring fluids as opposed to positive displacement pumps due to their cost efficiency and ease of deployment. Centrifugal pumps see wide usage in the following applications:
Building technology:
Pumps for drinking water, boilers, heating and cooling, sewage pumps and fire water pumps.
Infrastructure:
Pipelines for oil, urban distribution of drinking water and sewage, district heating and cooling.
Industry
Clean and sewage water systems, process fluid pumps (oil, chocolate, etc.), hydraulic pump systems.
