Pumps & Motors

Pumping systems are essential to the daily operation of most commercial buildings and industrial facilities. With new energy standards for clean-water pumps taking effect in 2020 and a new Energy Rating label program from the Hydraulic Institute, now is the time to evaluate the efficiency of commercial and industrial pumps, and circulators.

Smart Pumps: Go With The Flow

What lies beneath the brick, concrete, and glass of a commercial building is an intricate network of technology that works together to keep a building operating at all times. We talk about the big things, such as HVAC and lighting, but we rarely discuss the technology behind how water in buildings is used and how it gets to its final destinations. So let's talk about pumps.

Smart Circulation Pump Fact Sheet

Smart Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Circulation Pumps use high efficiency variable speed motors and integrated controls to reduce the amount of energy used to circulate hot water in a commercial building. They are easy to install and have programmable controls to automatically adjust flow in response to hot water demand. They can be used in new construction or to replace existing circulation pumps. Learn where smart pumps offer the best opportunity for savings with this fact sheet.

Smart Pumps Help Keep Costs Down at Providence Down Manor

Providence Down Manor is an independent retirement community in Hood River, OR. To increase efficiency while maintaining high comfort standards for its residents, the facility installed hot water pumps with smart circulators, which have integral controls that self-regulate the speed of the pump to match the needs of the system, adapting to pressure or flow requirements and reducing power when demand is lower.

Class-A Office Building Finds Grade-A Booster Pump Solution

When Urban Renaissance Group purchased Tower 333, a 20-story office building in Bellevue, Wash., they knew the aging and inefficient water-booster system needed to be replaced. The original system consisted of three 20-horsepower constant-speed booster pumps operated in a staged sequence, bringing on successive pumps as demand changed. With a commitment to occupant comfort and maintaining the building's energy efficiency certifications, the company knew they had to find a replacement for the aging water-booster system that would save energy and improve performance.

A Closer Look: Hydraulic Institute's Circulator Pump Energy Rating Label

Circulator pumps operate in a range of methods and modes, meaning they can be configured to meet the needed pump head and flow for many applications. This flexibility of use makes it easier for installers to keep them on hand or in their service vehicles, install them, and complete the project. But how does an installer know which circulator pump is the right model for the project?
