The Hydraulic Institute and Europump have published a new guide for designing, specifying
and operating successful variable speed pumping systems for lowering energy, maintenance and life cycle costs. Entitled “Variable Speed Pumping: A Guide To Successful Applications”, the book was developed for plant owners and designers as well as pump, motor and drive manufacturers and distributors. The operation of pumping systems, particularly energy, maintenance and other
operating costs, represents a major expense in many industries and applications. This guide helps users focus on cost savings and performance optimisation of pumping systems with variable-speed
drive (VSD) technology. Compiled and written by motor and drive experts in industry and academia, the guide is applicable for both new and retrofit installations. “Applying speed control can save energy, reduce equipment and maintenance costs, and increase reliability.
