Equipped with B5 4P 850 HP 1800 m³/h motor at 100 mWc

Benefits obtained

The equipment is currently operating 3% above its working point, without vibrations and with correct temperature levels on bearings and coils. It is operating and has an energy consumption 2% below the motor nominal value.

After installing the pump, higher energy efficiency and the pump’s superior hydraulic performance have been observed; thus the owners have already recovered all of the money they invested in the installation.
