  • Safe drinking water from Grundfos range
    Since the Haiti earthquake in January 2010, contaminated water has been a contributing factor in the wide spread of cholera. Insufficient power supplies and water shortages are two major factors which needed to be overcome. Grundfos provided rotor and centrifugal pumping systems which combat these problems by using solar and wind energy.
  • Submerged vertical safety concept
    The damaged pipe at a Swedish unloading terminal led to the creation of a special design for molten sulphur tanks. This required a 17 m long vertical pump that had to be lowered in from the top to avoid tapping the tank at the bottom. VDMA's Stephan Näckel and Per Karlsson describe this technical development.
  • Using CFdesign to optimize performance
    A new CFdesign module, which facilitates carrying out multi-scenario design studies, has allowed Cornell Pump to spend more time on pump design, and much less time on expensive rework. CFD allows reliable simulation and optimization of the design, placement and performance of critical components, as this article shows.
  • Climate change, the water cycle and AC drives
    Climate change, increasing demands on water due to global urbanization and the legal obligations under the EUs Water Framework Directive are making the water sector an attractive place for technologies that can help reduce costs and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. Here Heikki J. Kervinen of ABB discusses the influential role AC drives can play in meeting these challenges.
  • Technical ceramics – tough benefits
    Ceramics have not always enjoyed the popularity of other non-metallic components. This has partly been due to cost and partly due to pre-conceptions as to their suitability for more demanding applications. Paul Manison of Morgan Technical Ceramics debunks some of the myths surrounding the much-misunderstood material.

Frequency converters control centrifugal pumps

10 June 2009

Grundfos has introduced the CUE range of wall mounted frequency converters with e-pump functionality for new projects as well as for retro-fit/refurbishment purposes.

According to Grundfos, these are the latest addition to its range of speed controlled products and act as complementary products to the e-pump range. They allow the speed of virtually any Grundfos pump irrespective of its size, power range or application area to be controlled. The family is suitable for all centrifugal pump types in all application areas and offers a wide power range.
The series offers a whole array of features including plug-and-pump installation and along with the in-built control and monitoring options comes the automatic energy as well as the energy savings that variable speed operation brings.
Grundfos adds that CUEs can be used in both new and existing pump installations where an integrated solution will either not fit, is undesirable or is prohibited, for example ATEX areas.
