Thermodynamic
Pump Efficiency Monitoring
Most Compact Wireless Pump Monitor
Pumps are one of the biggest energy consumer in the water industry. When the efficiency of a pump has deteriorated significantly, the client will notice that their pumphouse is consuming more and more electricity, just to meet the same water demand.
Thermodynamic Pump Efficiency Measurement method offers an easier and cost efficient way for utilities to monitor the efficiencies of each pump, allowing them to implement cost-savings maintenance plans, and minimize any unplanned breakdown for their critical pumps.
Problems with Conventional
Pump Efficiency Measurement
Disrupt Operations
Most pumphouses only have 1 common flowmeter, hence it is required to stop operation for all except 1 pump in order to measure the individual pump efficiency
Flowmeter Accuracy
During a conventional pump efficiency test, there are a few factors which directly affects the accuracy of the flowmeter reading (e.g. if only 1 pump is running, the discharge pipe may be partially filled . If there is any leaking along the pipe & valves, it will affect the flowmeter reading.)
Tedious Calculations
Conventional pump efficiency test is conducted by recording the flow rate and head readings from the instruments on-site, and back-calculate the pump efficiency.
