Benefits & Value Proposition
Potential Savings in a Pumping System

Increased Efficiency

Variable Speed Control System optimization

The 40% of the potential saving in a pumping system could be reached

through a high efficiency equipment and the use of a VSD
Life Cycle Cost!

Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand
and range from 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations.

The energy and materials used by a system depend on the design of the pump,
the design of the installation, and the way the system is operated. These factors
are interdependent.

 Hydrovar Extras

A single cable run between the Hydrovars and

some basic setting adjustments is all that is
required to create a multiple pump set. No
other valves, contactors or panels are required.

Hydrovar – Retrofitting / Installation

Hydrovar is easy to install on new

applications or retro-fitted to
existing applications, also
adaptable for for wall mount
applications.

No special motor required, can be

mounted on any standard TEFC
