Pump consumption and energy efficiency
The wobble ring pump offers high efficiency and energy savings of up to 50% compared to conventional pumps.
Consumption, particularly in the area of industries is of great importance for the environment. It has a major impact on natural resources and environmental pollution. Climate change and the limited availability of resources make it necessary to reduce consumption and make it sustainable. Consumers must also become aware of their consumption habits and take responsibility. The issue of consumption and sustainability is therefore of great social relevance.
consumption also refers to the use of resources, such as food, energy, water, or raw materials. Consumption is an important factor in people's economies and lifestyles. The term is also used in connection with the sale of goods and services.
There are certain pumping systems which can be used to reduce consumption in industry. These systems work more efficiently and save energy, which not only protects the environment but also reduces costs. It is important that companies and industries invest in sustainable technologies in order to be successful and environmentally friendly in the long term.
About our energy-efficient pumps
What is the energy consumption of pumps?
The energy consumption of pumps can vary depending on the type, size and operating conditions vary significantly. In general, however, pumps are among the largest energy consumers belong in industry. Research has shown that pumps are responsible for around 10% of global electricity consumption. In some industries, the share may be even higher. For this reason, it is important to use efficient pumps and optimize operations to save energy and costs.
Our wobble ring pump, for example, offers high efficiency and energy savings of up to 50% compared to conventional pumps.
The operating principle is based on rotating the wobble ring, which transports the pumped medium through rotating chambers. This results in a smooth and low-pulsation flow, which for many usages is suitable. Especially in the chemistry-, groceries- and pharmaceutical industry The wobble ring pump is used because it is very robust and requires little maintenance. With this pump, you can be sure that your applications run reliably and efficiently.
You can find out more about the wobble ring pump in our product brochures.
Are there any specific energy efficiency standards that the pump must meet?
However, as a rule, the Energy efficiency classes A to G is used, with class A having the highest energy efficiency. These standards may vary depending on the scope of application of the pump. These standards are set at European level and are defined in the Ecodesign Directive as well as in the Energy Labeling Ordinance regulated. It is important that pumps meet these standards to ensure optimal energy efficiency and minimize energy consumption.
By complying with these standards, both the environment and the consumer's wallet can be protected. Pumps that fall under energy efficiency class A are generally more expensive than pumps with a lower efficiency class. However, the higher investment pays off in the long term through savings in energy costs, maintenance costs or even incidental repair costs off.
The higher the efficiency class, the lower the energy consumption of the device. A+++ is currently the best energy efficiency class on the market and guarantees the lowest energy consumption. This energy efficiency class is measured using a standardized measurement method, which ensures that all devices are tested under the same conditions. This measurement method works, among other things, by calculating the ratio of energy consumption and power in kilowatt hours per year.
What type of drive system is used and how does this affect energy efficiency?
Electric drive systems are generally very efficient and environmentally friendly as they can be powered by renewable energy sources. Examples of electric drive systems for pumps include electrically driven water pumps, which can be operated with solar or wind energy.
hydraulic Systems, on the other hand, may be less energy efficient and may require more maintenance. Hydraulic systems are often used in larger machines and systems where high forces and pressures are required.
A hydraulic system consists of hydraulic fluid that is pumped through pipes and valves to apply force to an object. The energy of the fluid is used to generate movement or pressure.
Although hydraulic systems are due to their high performance and reliability are preferred in many applications, there are also disadvantages to consider. Hydraulic fluid can leak in leaks and requires regular monitoring and maintenance. Examples of hydraulic systems in pumps include piston pumps, gear pumps, and screw pumps. These systems have the advantage that they can generate high output and high pressure. This feature is essential for a wide range of applications. However, they must be regularly maintained to prevent leaks and ensure their smooth operation. The use of hydraulic oil can also be harmful to the environment and therefore requires proper disposal. Nevertheless, hydraulic systems are still essential in many applications and offer powerful solutions for a wide range of industrial requirements.
There are also pumps operated by Combustion engines. This type of drive system can be particularly useful in situations where electrical power is not available. They drive the pump via a mechanical coupling. Internal combustion engines convert the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy, which then drives the pumps.
The energy efficiency and consumption of internal combustion engines in pumps depend on several factors. This includes the motor technology, the efficiency of the pump mechanisms and the optimal coordination between motor and pump. However, there are also advanced motor technologies that can offer improved energy efficiency, such as variable speed control motors.
Examples of pumps with internal combustion engines include fire pumps or even construction and agricultural pumps. The gasoline or diesel pumps are also equipped with internal combustion engines.
Some pumping systems are powered by compressed air operated. This type of drive offers several advantages over electrical or hydraulic systems. On the one hand, compressed air as a medium is often available more cheaply than electricity or oil. On the other hand, compressed air technology is more robust and less sensitive to certain environmental influences such as moisture or dirt. The maintenance of compressed air systems is also usually easier and faster to carry out than with electrical or hydraulic systems. However, compressed air systems generally require more space and are also more limited in their performance. The energy efficiency of compressed air systems may also be slightly lower compared to electrical systems. Energy is lost when electrical energy is converted into compressed air. Nevertheless, compressed air systems are a good alternative to other types of drives in many areas of application. They are used, for example, in industry and in pneumatics.
The wobble ring pump can be driven in various ways. Our type of wobble ring pump works with an electric drive. In this case, a motor drives the wobble ring directly or via a connected shaft. This makes them very efficient and environmentally friendly.
