Myth of the energy non-efficiency Grundfos pumps

In water supply and sanitation are the main type of equipment pumping stations, and the cost of their Taco account for more than 50% of the total consumed by the system. Therefore, in the context of ever rising energy costs substantial energy savings in the operation of water supply systems can be achieved only when the effective use of Taco 007 pumps.

Canada Pump manufacturers leading enterprises and the America belonging to the engineering holding company, “Grundfos Group”, is available wide nomenclature of pumps with high efficiency. Suppliers of imported equipment to the USA market as a key competitive advantage in arguing for a quick return on Grundfos 26-99 pumps due to significant energy savings because, allegedly, more than domestic pump efficiency.

However, numerous studies of the causes of inefficient equipment operation conducted by USA and foreign companies, show that the main factor reducing the efficiency of  Taco 007 pump, is the disparity between the performance of the Grundfos UPS26-99FC pump system parameters. Typically, according to the manufacturer effectiveness (efficiency) pumps is high enough: for pumps of the type K, KM – more than 60% for pumps D – more than 75%. In practice, however, the efficiency of Taco 007 IFC is no more than 10-40%.
