  • On demand district heating cuts costs
    Refurbishing an ageing district heating system in Constanta, Romania using new hot-water recirculation pumps, associated variable speed drives and other controls in a demand-based arrangement, has resulted in an improved supply quality, plus an optimized, energy-efficient operation – all with greater reliability.
  • Retrofitting variable speed drives in a zoo
    A UK zoo required a systems upgrade to comply with EMC directives and standards whilst simultaneously increasing efficiency. Three animal enclosures were retrofitted with variable speed drives from Danfoss which improved animal welfare and reduced running costs.
  • 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.
  • Control strategies bring cost benefits
    The terms of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, coupled with rising energy costs, has led to a radical rethinking about how pumping efficiencies can be improved using control strategies. Pump control specialist Retroflo has responded with a ‘breakthrough' system-wide pump control technology, as company founder and operations director Andy Laundon explains.
  • Pump control system offers energy savings and reduced emissions
    Retroflo’s RPC_2000 pump control system can not only give energy and opeartional savings to the water industry, but also represents a breakthrough in the drive to reduce emissions.
