Track the efficiency of your pump with this monitoring system

| By Chemical Engineering

Recently launched, the PumpMeter is composed of pressure sensors and an analyzing and display unit, which is attached to the pump. The system measures suction pressure, discharge pressure, differential pressure and head. The measured and calculated values are shown alternately on the display. A typical pump curve illustrates in which range the pump is currently operating, so the user can see at a glance if the pump provides efficient and cost-saving operation or if its availability is jeopardized. The PumpMeter continuously analyzes the pump operating data, establishes a load profile and makes the operator aware of energy saving potential that could be leveraged by using a variable speed drive. — KSB AG, Frankenthal, Germany
