Grundfos Solution to the Energy Challenge

Energy supply and consumption is one of the biggest challenges in India today. There has been a sharp rise in the consumption of energy. The bigger question is how we address this energy challenge. Pumps alone account for about 12% of total energy consumption in India. To reduce this energy consumption, Grundfos has developed, Grundfos Blueflux®, a patented advance motor technology, which reduces energy waste in pump application.
The motors driving the pumps contribute for the energy loss. Grundfos high efficiency motors and variable frequency drives (VFD) have been specifically designed to reduce energy consumption. Working with these products can save up to 60% of the energy.
The New Standard in Motor Efficiency by Grundfos
Grundfos Blueflux® is designed to optimize the cut out of the waste as the technology represents the best from Grundfos within energy efficient motors & VFDs. A Grundfos Blueflux® VFD regulates motor speed in response to varying system demands. This ensures the motor never does more work than necessary, which in turn reduces the downtime and increases the operational lifetime. Grundfos Blueflux® motors and VFD are designed to integrate perfectly with each other. The VFDs are programmed with Grundfos software and can come preset and pre attached to the motors or purchased separately. Grundfos also offers E-solutions in which the pump, motor and VFD come fully integrated. Grundfos Blueflux® enables immediate and substantial savings in commercial, industrial, public and water utility applications.
What makes Blueflux® better?
Every aspect of the technology driving a Grundfos Blueflux® solution has been developed to answer the real needs of applications.
Using the state- of- the -art computer stimulations, it has been successful in minimizing four types of losses that occur in an electrical motor. Excessive loss in stator windings, losses in stator & rotor laminations due to eddy current and hysteresis , losses due to current flow in rotor bars and end rings and losses due to friction in the bearings.
Minimum energy loss means the reduction of amount of heat generation. The cooler motor means longer lifetime on bearings, insulation materials and less heat to the ambient environment. In addition to this, Grundfos Blueflux® solutions require only one fan to cool the motor and drive.
The software and the interfaces in Grundfos Blueflux® are purpose built, installation error is eliminated and establishing the right performance levels is a straight forward task. External VFDs come with unique software for 33 Grundfos pump ranges. The integrated drives are fully pre programmed and delivered as plug’n’pump solutions. Grundfos Blueflux® drives have a range of parameters such as constant pressure, constant differential pressure, proportional pressure, constant level and constant temperature.
The lower operating temperature of Grundfos Blueflux® motors ensures that the bearings need less frequent re-greasing. Only high quality bearings are used and a bearing monitoring function automatically displays a warning when it is time for re-greasing or bearing replacement.
A responsible choice which will pay back more
For Grundfos, energy conserved is energy earned. This is why; one of their prime concerns is Life Cycle Cost (LCC). Life Cycle cost (LCC) of a pump system means the energy consumption by the pump system. On an average, for any normal pump system, LCC comes up to 85%. But, switching to Grundfos Blueflux® reduces LCC by 50%. After the short payback period about 2 years, the substantial financial and environmental benefits keep growing.
Grundfos Blueflux® solution puts you at the head of the pack in energy efficiency.
