It’s amazing how much you can save with relatively simple upgrades.
OK, so we’re not talking about upgrading your computer, but the caveman makes a good point. Recently, we were asked to provide an analysis of an old pump system and even we were surprised by what we found.
On a 15kw motor, the payback period against capital outlay can be as little as four months!
Fantastic.
Furthermore, by factoring in additional upgrades such as inverters, pressure transducers and the like, we were able to reduce the speed of the motor to directly relate to the system demand. In other words, when we dropped the speed by 20%, a further 50% was saved on the kwH rate.
Even better.
Aside from cost-savings, the new pump system was considerably smaller and easier to maintain. The knock-on effect of this being that the motor could then be reduced in size and provide a similar payback.
With savings like that, why wouldn’t you want to consider an upgrade?
